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.

THE Coherent AEW Take: I Ain't Tellin' You No Lie, The Hook Brings You Back

PAGE AND BRYAN! HOOK! HOOK! HOOK! PAGE AND BRYAN! HOOK! HOOK! HOOK!  That's it. That's the intro.  Rampage.   Highlights.  HOOOOOOOOK!  I mean, I gotta support the man himself named Hook, DUHHH!  What can I say, I like a man that is built different, quick, agile and hard……..in professional wrestling, of course.  Suffice to say, Hook does something that Kalya Braxton doesn't and that is, making all biracials proud.  FTR vs Lucha Brothers for the AEW world tag team championship Two of the best tag teams I've ever witnessed as a wrestling fan (yes, they're THAT darn good) battling it out in an opening match so banging, not even your Beats headphone can replicate it, ya feel me?  The Lucha Brothers get to walk out of this episode of Rampage still as the reigning world tag champs.  Some Other Things That Happened.  Adam Cole defeated Wheeler Yuta - Adam Cole appreciation comment.  Dynamite.  Highlights.  Hangman Page...

Escape The Undertaker | A Short Coherent Review.

The internet. The only place where your YouTube recommended is filled with "I DON'T EVEN KNOW THAT'S PG".  It is also home to Netflix which released an interactive movie produced by future Raspberry award-winning movie studio, WWE films. Look, the idea of 3 black dudes being trapped inside a house by a white conservative dead hog, is offensive and by that description alone, you weren't sure for a sec whether you were watching Netflix or the Daily Wire.  Luckily, there wasn't a cameo from Tessa Blanchard so you should be fine.  As a fan of Mass Effect 2, I love some dialogue trees that alter the events of a movie/game.  And, from a functionality standpoint, it is a technical marvel how it gives the audience the illusion of choice (you know, like our current economic system).  I say "illusion" because therein lies the main problem I have with the film. Your choices don't matter here. Even in a WWE movie, they're still trying to avoid the fan...

WWE Smackdown Live 11/9/18 | My Coherent Review.

Smackdown live was overall a good show. Why you ask? Well, I'm gonna tell you what's good, what's ok and what's bad. Here we go.  WHAT'S GOOD Jeff Hardy vs Shinsuke Nakamura The promo before this was okay however that was a goooood match. Better than their in counter at SummerSlam. Jeff was about to beat Nakamura, however, randy outta nowhere pushes hardy on the outside hence Nakamura retains the championship and Jeff wins via DQ. They had a brawl that was better than the brawl last night on RAW I'll tell you that much.  Samoa Joe telling a bedtime story in a good not boring way.   I thought from the editing to the design of the book to the way Samoa Joe express the story was fantastic. The thing I LOVE about this is that it's a outside in the box type of promo package that worked. Man, I can't wait for this match. On Sunday night when the PPV airs, I think I'm gonna call my local "WENDYYYS" (My goodness that was awfu...
