WWE SmackDown 29/10/21 | A Coherent Review.

The blue brand has been really mediocre in recent weeks and this episode was no exception.

Charlotte Flair Was Like, "I'm Done Facing Sasha Banks. It's Time For Newcomers" 


That newcomer is Shotzi Blackheart or just Shotzi as she's now known and she got a number one contender's match against the champion herself which is another trope that I absolutely dislike especially since we just saw a number one contender's match as the main event attraction in the latest episode of RAW. 

The match between Shotzi and Charlotte, ended with Shotzi losing the golden opportunity for being in the championship picture. 

Post-match saw Shotzi's frustrations getting the best of her as she absolutely gave Banks a beating, signalling a heel turn in the process. 

Banks doing the beating instead would've fit the scenario a lot better than what I've seen here because that heel turn is as unnecessary as putting oil in boiling water for pasta making. 


"Hot old white guy" Adam Pearce, fined Brick landliner (Brock Lesnar for you slow mofos) a million dollars. This man said you're going to be fined multiple "racks on racks on racks" every day. 

Heyman's response? Well, he "accidentally or not" advocated for Lesnar. Oh my. 

Meanwhile, Xavier Woods honoured Kofi Kingston as a Knight. Cool. 

Shinsuke Nakamura And Rick Boogs vs Happy Corbin And Madcap Moss In A Trick Or Street Fight Match. 

A very unnoteworthy match. Thanks to Angel Garza and Humberto Carrilo, the bad guys prevailed in this match up. At least Garza and Carrilo are getting some showcase, right? 

Naomi vs Shayna Baszler. 


Sonya Deville is messing with Naomi once again by announcing that the referee for this match is injured due to the "devastation caused by Brock Lesnar (Bork Lasker if you’re autocorrect) last week". 

So, Deville became the ref instead and of course, some shenanigans happened during the bout. 

Deville with the quick count, awarded Baszler as the winner of the match. 

I don't think this leads to that good old heel turn for Naomi since the division is a bit bloated with heel personas. 

Will see what happens next because I'm interested in this angle. 

Drew McIntyre's Open Challenge Was Answered By………. 

Mustafa Ali and he lost because that's why WWE does to underutilize talents (*cough* like Sami Zayn). After the match, Mustafa pulled a "you people" promo that I've heard a million times at this point. 

What a way to end an underwhelming episode of Smackdown with an underwhelming finish, am I right?

The New Day vs The Usos. 


Nothing to say other than it was a decent encounter. The New Day picked up the victory which means a title match is happening soon and I don't mind it. 

So, to recap for all of you slow mofos. 

Like: The Naomi storyline is intriguing. 

Didn't like: Shotzi's heel turn was unnecessary, an overall sense of blandness throughout the episode.

WWE Wrestlemania 26 | A Coherent Review.

I've teased a mystery review on my Facebook page (which you can click here to follow us) and that mystery has now been unveiled. It's Wrestlemania 26. This review was delayed and was supposed to be up last Monday but at least is now up. Also, The first draft of this review was 7 pages long so strap in. By far, the longest review on this very website.  I thought it would be fitting to review a Wrestlemania from a decade back and how do I feel about it? It was a show that if you watched it, you're most likely going to have a good time. It was a mix of great things but terrible things at the same time as most shows.  The 26th edition of Wrestlemania took place in the University of Phoenix Stadium in the Phoenix suburb of Glendale, Arizona on March 28th, 2010.  The commentators were Micheal Cole, Jerry Lawler and Matt Striker. Honestly, Striker was pretty good and a far better colour commentator than Lawler was on this show (even today, Lawler is still bleh on commen...

WrestleFest DXB's Fahrenheit 971 | A Coherent W.

  Being a fan of pro wrestling (or any other medium of entertainment) does have its pros and cons when engaging with the industry as a whole.  On one hand, you've witnessed an Eddie Kingston promo that'll make you tear up more than the opening scene of Up.  On the other hand, going to the wrestling subreddit will definitely have you questioning humanity as a whole and the fact that living in an area where a wrestling presence pretty much doesn't exist like a Vince Russo-written storyline that is, you know, GOOD!?  Luckily, the latter retracted my con as a fan because I'm talking about Wrestlefest DXB and their latest joint, "971 Fahrenheit".  Martin Bushby of now Post Wrestling Alumni brought the event to my attention because like a wrestler on an episode of RAW I get distracted all the time.  So, I decided to take a short journey to a taxi then a bus then a train then a 30-minute walk to the show itself and I know I'm going to sound biased as f**k but I l...

Let's Talk About The State Of Wrestlemania 37.

I usually save those kinds of pieces for my weekly news series, The 5 News Week due to how modern this subject is and how my essays usually dwell on the past.  Usually, it is too early to talk about an upcoming Wrestlemania in October but not this time especially since we're still in a pandemic.  This is a topic I've been thinking about all month and I had to write my thoughts on it.  Let's answer this question right away whether Wrestlemania 37 will happen in SoFii stadium next year?  from CBS Los Angeles The answer is an obvious no. But, I want to try to dig deeper and see exactly where we stand today.  As of me writing this, Wrestlemania: Hollywood edition is still scheduled to take place in SoFi stadium despite an outlet that shall not be named, claiming otherwise.  This is either sheer blind optimism or downright idiotic from Dubya, Dubya E.  WrestleVotes did mention back in July that while the event is still going to take place in the stadium,...
