WWE Smackdown 12/11/21 | A Coherent Review.

While there were a few redeeming qualities about this week's episode of Smackdown, the show as a whole was kinda bleh to me.

Chaos Ensued Amongst The SmackDown Women's Survivor Series Team. 


Sonya Deville introduced the participants in the women's Smackdown Survivor Series team to which a brawl ensued after Sasha Banks wanted to beat up Shotzi. Naomi came out to even the odds between the heels and the babyfaces in that scene. 

And you know what all of that means? A 6 women tag team match, Playas.

By far, the most impressive person in this match was Naomi. The finesse she showed with her series of kicks was *chefs kiss*. 

Speaking of impressive, the crowd was BEHIND Aliyah and that's cool.

Naomi's assistance led to Aliyah pinning Natalya to win the entire match. I said "Naomi's assistance" for a reason because as soon as that victory, Aliyah was taken out of the Survivor Series team. 

God damn, Sonya Deville legit hates POCs succeeding. First Naomi now ALIYAH!? 

All lame banter aside, I've mentioned my complaints about the segments involving Naomi, Sonya Deville and Shayna Baszler and how it felt like the "groundhog day" of wrestling segments. 

And I'm somewhat glad that they're trying something different that isn't "Naomi faces Shayna Baszler only for Sonya Deville to interfere". 

Shinsuke Nakamura And Rick Boogs vs Angel Garza And Humberto Carrillo. 


The family tag-team duo in Garza and Carrillo continues to build some good old momentum as they once again, won a match. 

More wins mean more good for performers like Garza and Carrillo. 

In an in-ring scene from Charlotte Flair, she did the exact opposite of the word "compliment" regarding Becky Lynch to which Toni Storm came out for a title opportunity and Charlotte was like, "Nah". 

The match is going to happen at some point. It's just that the focus right now is on an inter-promotional match and like all of those matches at Survivor Series, it doesn't have any stakes whatsoever that keeps this wannabe wrestling pundit interested. 


Jinder Mahal and Shanky replied to Hit Row's rhythmic talents with a freestyle rap of their own. For the second week in a row, I legit felt B Fab's lack of presence because she was the glue that stuck the entire group together. Again, what an awful decision to release her. 

Jeff Hardy vs Sami Zayn. 

God damn, I do not know who do I feel sorry for someone losing like that, Sami Zayn or my hairline. 

Jeff Hardy wins as if you guys were even curious about who won the match. 

Roman Reigns vs King Xavier Woods. 


A match that should've happened on PPV and it happened on television. I'm not a fan of "having a PPV level feud facing each other in a mediocre match on TV with a DQ finish/distraction finish only to have the ACTUAL good match on PPV". 

That's exactly what happened in the main event encounter. It's a shame that I'm nitpicking given that the feud is a great example of minimal and effective storytelling with "who's the real leader of WWE". 

So, to recap for all of you slow mofos. 

Like: Naomi's performance in the 6 women tag team match, WWE is finally doing the bare minimum with Angel Garza and Humberto Carrillo. 

Didn't like: The main event was disappointing in terms of its booking.

My Coherent Predictions On: Money In The Bank 2018

Money in the bank has THE WORST buildup of 2018 so far (at least on the RAW side). Is it going to be worst than RAW this past few weeks or possibly backlash?  Will find out this Sunday but anyways on with the predictions Sami Zayn vs Bobby Lashley What can I say about this feud? ● No meaning behind it. ● No meaning behind it. ● And why's Bobby Lashley promo last night sounds like bubbles from powerpuff  or something? Nevertheless, It's a shame that both lashley and zayn are given a shitstorm of a storyline considering that their better than this. WINNER : Bobby Lashley. Bludgeon Brothers vs Luke Gallows And Karl Anderson WOW! Another match I don't give two fucks about. However if they want to make the show intriguing and unpredictable then I'll put the belts on....   WINNER: Gallows and Anderson. Big Cass vs Daniel Bryan. WWE made the right call in my opinion on moving big Cass to smackdown because he...

WWE Survivor Series 2019 | My Coherent Review.

The Survivor Series shows as of a few years has gotten better in terms of overall positives and I thought that this year will be no exception. It pains me to say this but the 2019 edition of Survivor Series was just okay. A few highlights but overall, not an offensive 3 ½ hours of wrestling to watch, to say the least. Oh, and I haven't seen the pre-show matches so I can't talk about it.  Team RAW In Kabuki Warriors, Charlotte Flair, Natalya And Sarah Logan vs Team Smackdown In Nikki Cross, Dana Brooke, Sasha Banks, Lacey Evans And Sasha Banks vs Team NXT In Rhea Ripley, Bianca Belair, Candice LeRae, Io Shirai And Toni Storm. Women's Survivor Series Match.  Io Shirai and Kairi Sane delivered some quick moves earlier in the match. Brooke delivered an impressive rolling Senton to Shirai. Given that LeRae and Io were hurt, they were both eliminated. Bianca Belair got rid of two women.  One, it was Nikki Cross with a roll-up and the other was Sarah Logan with a 450...

WWE NXT 24/4/19 | My Coherent Review.

This was a meh episode of NXT. If this is the first time that somebody watches NXT with this episode then you'll have a hard time convincing that particular person to watch another episode you know what I mean?  The Forgotten Sons’ Jaxson Ryker vs Humberto Carrillo.  I don't watch 205 live but I'm loving every time Humberto wrestles. The match ended in a double count out because Ryker was beating the crap out of Carrillo until Danny Burch and Oney Lorcan showed up to save the young luchador. Not a fan of the Forgotten Sons but this feud for some reason made me wanna watch those two teams fight and I don't know why exactly.  After that, Adam Cole was asked backstage in a photo shoot about the Roderick Strong vs Johnny Gargano match until Matt Riddle showed up and said that it's his turn which led to Adam Cole leaving the shoot.  Aliyah and Vanessa Bourne vs Candice LeRae and Kacy Catanzaro.  This was okay. The team of Candice LeRae and Kacy Cat...
