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.

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...
