WWE Smackdown 26/11/21 | A Coherent Review.

This episode of Smackdown is a great example of the words, "unnoteworthy" and "skip that sh*t" because damn, nothing actually happened here.

Roman Was Like, "Rumours Give Losers False Hope". 


That statement above didn't make it clear whether it's about his next challenger or the fact that he's talking sh*t about the folks that wanted all three spidermen in the upcoming No Way Home movie. 

A pretty minimal opening segment that wasn't too noteworthy but it did solidify the effectiveness of Roman's words. 

Drew McIntyre And Jeff Hardy vs Happy Corbin And Madcap Moss. 

Speaking of things that aren't noteworthy. The good guys won. Cool. 

Ridge Holland vs Cesaro. 

Nothing screams WWE writing than some good old fashioned 50/50 booking. I will say, those two guys so far, have pretty good chemistry as seen by a good bout. Cesaro won with a roll-up (aka the most protective move in all of professional wrestling). 

Rick Boogs vs Angel In A Thanksgiving Leftovers Throwdown.


Angel as in Angel Garza not Angelus from Buffy the vampire slayer you creeps! 

When a match includes wrestlers throwing food around, you know it's a sh*t break match. 

Angel wins (unless you're one of the angels falling down at the end of season 8 of Supernatural) with the wind clipper. 


Say what you want about how Xia Li is going to be utilized within several months, those comic book vignettes are very much well-produced. 


Toni got a pie right on the face by Charlotte Flair. I mean, ewwh!? 

Sasha Banks And Naomi vs Natalya And Shayna Baszler. 

A team BAD reunion of sorts and they won the match thanks to a sunset flip to Natalya. 

I got some words for you, Sonya. Black women are beautiful but let me refocus. Black women are beautiful. 


Paul E Dangerously is still shaking whenever Kalya Braxton asks the guy regarding Brock Lesnar's status. Just breathe in and out, Pauly and maybe just maybe, Roman might find out about what's going on with you and my man brick lennor.  Oh, and Brock's suspension was lifted and will be on the blue-white ring stripes show next week.  Crap.

A Black Friday Invitational To Determine The Next Challenger For The Universal Championship. 


Just like what happens on an actual black Friday, people are fighting for the opportunity to get what they want. 

In this case, it's for a universal championship while regular people will brawl over Vizio TVs or something. 

And the outcome is the least you expected because Sami Zayn won the whole thing to become the number one contender for the universal championship. 

Don't know how to feel about this other than nice!? 

So, to recap for all of you slow mofos. 

Like: Cesaro vs Ridge Holland 

Didn't like: The 50/50 booking of Cesaro vs Ridge Holland, an overall skippable episode.

WWE Wrestlemania 26 | A Coherent Review.

I've teased a mystery review on my Facebook page (which you can click here to follow us) and that mystery has now been unveiled. It's Wrestlemania 26. This review was delayed and was supposed to be up last Monday but at least is now up. Also, The first draft of this review was 7 pages long so strap in. By far, the longest review on this very website.  I thought it would be fitting to review a Wrestlemania from a decade back and how do I feel about it? It was a show that if you watched it, you're most likely going to have a good time. It was a mix of great things but terrible things at the same time as most shows.  The 26th edition of Wrestlemania took place in the University of Phoenix Stadium in the Phoenix suburb of Glendale, Arizona on March 28th, 2010.  The commentators were Micheal Cole, Jerry Lawler and Matt Striker. Honestly, Striker was pretty good and a far better colour commentator than Lawler was on this show (even today, Lawler is still bleh on commen...

AEW Dynamite Blood And Guts | A Coherent Review.

Another watchable episode of AEW Dynamite but this time, it features the first-ever Blood And Guts encounter. Kenny Omega And Michael Nakazawa vs Jon Moxley And Eddie Kingston.  Don Callis announced that Michael Nakazawa is going to face Mox and Kingston all by himself only for Kenny Omega to show up and compete in the match anyway.  A weird booking choice but I'm just nitpicking.  What wasn't weird was how the match ended with a double team dragon suplex into a clothesline from the duo of Mox and Kingston to Nakazawa.  Then, a beatdown ensued from Omega's Posse to Jonny Mox and Eddie Kingston. The Young Bucks vs Jon Moxley and Eddie Kingston? I'm down.  It was revealed later in the night that a number one contenders match for the AEW championship is set up for next week's show between Orange Cassidy and Pac. I'm assuming AEW is saving the Hangman Page and Kenny Omega encounter for All Out?  Either way, AEW has the potential to tell an interesting story of ...

The 5 News Week: Quick Predictions On Wrestlemania: Backlash.

Hello, my fellow wrestling fans and welcome to the 5 news week. The post where I report 5 major or minor pro wrestling news, rumours and spoilers of the week that I don't have time to do it separately.  Without further ado, here are the 5 news week.   A Brief Thoughts On AEW Dynamite.  For the first time on this very series, I am going to briefly discuss my thoughts on AEW Dynamite and it was decent for the most part. I do have some perspectives on a few key things.  Most notably, that Cody Rhodes promo which by the way, was without exaggeration, one of the worst PROMOS I've ever witnessed as a 14 year veteran in the wrestling fandom.  The overall dialogue was an example of American imperialism and without a little or too much propaganda (while having the basic understanding of American imperialism), it exposed the very dated nature of the "America vs foreign heel" storyline.  Let's move on to the positives. Miro's booking in recent months has been exc...
