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.

Roman Reigns Relinquishes The Universal Title Because He Has Leukemia.

I have a sad and unfortunate news to break. Two hours ago on RAW, Roman cut a great promo pretty much stating that he's been living with leukemia for over 11 years and the disease's return forced him to give up the universal championship. The segment ended with both shield members Dean Ambrose and Seth Rollins gave a group hug to Roman and did the triple shield fist pump. Ever since that, fellow WWE superstars reacted to the news on Twitter and here are the tweets so far. An amazing human being, an incredible performer & a man I’m proud to be friends with. My thoughts & prayers are with you & your family. Get well soon, champ! #ThankYouRoman https://t.co/jL1Q5dVvzs — #WOKEN, yet #BROKEN, Matt Hardy (@MATTHARDYBRAND) October 23, 2018 My heart right now ....

WWE Smackdown 14/2/20 | My Coherent Review.

Last night was my 2nd anniversary of pumping out written content on this site and I thought since this show has delivered 6 or sometimes 3 out of 10s for 4 months now, I've written some lyrics about my thoughts on Smackdown in the style of the current song opening for the blue brand.  If you wanna put the instrumental version of ACDC's Are You Ready while reading this then that's cool too.  *Cue the intro* Are you Ready?  Are you ready for mediocrity! Then, get ready for disappointment.  No one needs it.  No one needs it.  No one needs it.   Even Bischoff.  Are you ready for mediocrity! *ends with some guitar solos*.  The lyrics may suck but it is at least better than whatever the hell Justin Bieber meant when he sang his current single "Yummy".  Now, on with the review. The Return Of A Moment Of Bliss (Unlike The Return Of The Dirt Sheets, Nobody Really Cares).  Both Bliss...

Let's Talk About The White Rabbit In The Room.

I haven't reviewed last year's show mainly because it was so good and clearly as extreme as any ECW match and I'm happy to tell all 3 of y'all that this one is better by several inches or so. Why? *slaps my bald head* HERE'S WHY. The opening match between Sheamus and Gunther's crew ruled harder than the Mongolian empire.  It was basically an enhanced version of Sheamus' match with Gunther last night on Smackdown and I loved it.  The Brawling Brutes' victory means one thing that is clearly obvious, a rematch between Sheamus and Gunther for the intercontinental championship aka the only series of rematches I don't mind.  Ronda Rousey and Liv Morgan delivered in what was a wrestling match equivalent to the X-Men Dark Phoenix movie.  While Bianca Belair and Bayley had their equivalent to the first Iron Man movie in that it was decent.  Drew McIntyre and Karrion Kross had an okay edition of the "Meaty men slapping meat".  That spear from Edge to...
