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 Smackdown 17/12/21 | A Coherent Review.

Another week, another meh episode of Smackdown although the ending was pretty eye-opening.  Images via WWE.com   The Viking Raiders vs Jinder Mahal And Shanky.  After a backstage segment that included The Usos roasting Xavier Woods' kingship, the blue brand really started the show with a match (not this one) which is a rare thing to see on main roster television. And the match wasn't bad at all.  The Viking Raider defeated the team of Jinder and Shanky with a splash from Ivor. Does everyone want a Happy Corbin segment? Well, no and Drew McIntyre agrees as he took out Corbin and Madcap Moss to retrieve his sword which sounds like a bad King Arthur comedy flick or something.  Naomi Wants A Match With Sonya Deville.  Naomi is upset at how Sonya Deville acted like a Susan over the past few months so the glow queen challenged the actual manager to a match at Day 1 and Sonya was like, "Ahhhh, no".  Naomi then had a match with Shayna Baszler and within minute...

My Coherent Wrestling Wednesdays: Chris Jericho Offers Moxley To Join Inner Circle, The Go-Home Show Before Dec 18th.

I thought the middle act of AEW Dynamite suffered some pacing issues even though it was overall a much stronger show than last week's episode.  The latest episode of NXT, however, has built a solid foundation on what's to come on December 18th. The main question is, which show do I like better? The answer is AEW.  NXT  Highlights. Angel Garza vs Lio Rush For The NXT Cruiserweight Championship.  Was this match better than their first encounter? Like Snoop Dogg's verse in Sasha Banks' theme song, "Hell yea". Garza slams Rush hard on the ring apron by pushing the champ. Moments later, Garza delivers the Spanish Fly and Rush kicked out of that.  As Rush hits the frog splash, the champ wanted to pull him back in the middle of the ring but instead, he ripped off Garza's pants (nice attention to detail).  Angel then hits the wind clipper but Lio kicked out which led to a wind clipper submission and the man of the hour tapped out which m...

NXT Takeover Phoenix | My Coherent Review.

NXT Takeover was a great show with great wrestling, energetic crowd and intriguing storytelling (OMG, REALLY? I didn’t know that).  War Raiders vs The Undisputed Era (Kyle O’ Reilly and Roderick Strong) for the NXT Tag Team Championship.  First off, cool entrance by War Raiders. Secondly, the match was entertaining. At one point, Strong did a superplex to Hanson. The match ended with War Raiders delivered the Fallout to Kyle O ‘Reilly and won the match. War Raiders are the new NXT Tag Team Champions deservedly so.  Matt Riddle vs Kassius Ohno. During the match, Ohno hit Riddle right on his mouth which absolutely looked brutal. Minutes after that, Riddle hits Ohno with series of elbow strikes which made Ohno tap out and won the match. A very unique finish but nevertheless, this was a decent match.  Johnny Gargano vs Ricochet for the NXT North American Championship.  Those guys put on the absolute clinic of a wrestling match. But that ending ...
