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.

WWE RAW 30/12/19 | My Coherent Review.

I'm back from a two-week review hiatus and honestly, it was refreshing but this ain't about me. You're here for my thoughts on the final RAW of the 2010s and it was decent until the ending.  I'm still in shock as to what did I just witness. I've not been this shocked from seeing an ending like that probably since watching the movie "Schindler's List".  Kevin Owens Wants To Take Seth Rollins And AOP Down.  Owens in a promo, says that the heel trio are disrespecting Rey Mysterio and shows footage of Mysterio losing the US title to Andrade in a house show even though the luchador wasn't 100%.  Seth Rollins and his friends came out and Kevin Owens immediately tried to attack AOP but that did not fail thanks to Samoa Joe and chaos has ensued to start off RAW.  Charly Caruso showed up to interview Samoa Joe about what AOP and Rollins did to him last week to which a bunch of security guards entered the locker room to get rid of Owens ...

WWE RAW 11/2/19 | My Coherent Review.

This go home show makes me wanna go home if I was an attendance of this show. In other words, RAW wasn't good and here's why.  Opening Segment.  The show started off with The Authority. A stable that I actually don't mind but that a different topic. Anyways, they run down the Elimination Chamber PPV card. After that, The Man Becky Lynch came out and Triple H said that he will lift the suspension if Becky apologizes to both him and Stephanie.    Becky then told Stephanie to shut her face and she refused to apologize. The segment ended with Hunter giving her two choices. Either Becky apologizes to them or Becky's WrestleMania match is off.  Compared to the segments on RAW and Smackdown last week, this was underwhelming.  Sasha and Bayley vs Liv Morgan and Sarah Logan vs Nia Jax and Tamina. Loser enters first in the Elimination Chamber match.  The match was fine. During the match, Bayley delivered two stunners on the ...

WWE NXT 25/5/21 | A Bit Late Coherent Review.

  NXT has once again, produced an engaging, well written, scripted and produced show. Why? Well *slaps his head multiple times* Here's why.  Images via WWE.com   Ember Moon And Shotzi Blackheart vs Raquel Gonzalez And Dakota Kai. The match ended with a win from the good guys to which they immediately got a BEATING from the NXT women's champion.  It is still so weird that Raquel made a u-turn to the good side and her babyface run didn't even last a week.  I will say, the opening contest was pretty good.  In a produced scene, Hit Row wants all of the championship gold. I'm hoping they fulfil the promise real quick because Hit Row is already one of my favourite groups in wrestling.  Speaking of promos, Tommaso Ciampa and Timothy Thatcher simply stated that they wanted to beat the holy hell out of the Grizzled Young Veterans.  Zack Gibson and British Seth Green, James Blake, wanted to move on from Ciampa and Thatcher but they do not want to move on fr...
