WWE Smackdown 10/12/21 | A Coherent Review.

Yet another meaningless episode of Smackdown. That’s it. That’s the intro.

Brook Laser Beam Still Beats Up Arab Alan Moore. 


I'm just going to have my unfunny but insightful headlines describe wrestling segments huh (at the very least, I'm hoping this made Fightful's Jeremy Lambert proud)? 

All lame banter aside, this build for the universal championship is an eh so far. At least the segment featured hot nurses. 

Shinsuke Nakamura And Rick Boogs vs Los Lotharios. 

My man, Shinsuke Nakamura might as well be called the Intercontinental championship belt collector because he hasn't done jack with it. 

The title has been defended so little, Brock Lesnar would be jealous due to the fact that he's been aiming at the wrong championship the whole damn time! 

I was hoping for a Los Lotharios win but that didn't happen as Shinsuke pinned Humberto Carrillo after delivering the Kinshasa. 


King Xavier Woods has unveiled his new crown looking like he's wearing a piece of Goldar's gear or something. 

Brock and then later Drew McIntyre, showed their disdain towards Adam Pearce's authority. How so? Because you guys are jealous that he's HOT!? 

Sonya Deville Aka The Karen Tried To Once Again Screw Over Naomi Until…….. 


Xia Li made her first in-ring main roster appearance by aiding Naomi into taking out the mostly white trash. 

Xia looked pretty impressive here. Will see if that presence keeps on going for weeks or months to come (the answer is probably not). 


RKBRO meets the cast of Jackass: Forever. What a perfect word to call Matt Riddle. 

Toni Storm vs Charlotte Flair. 

Ah. The classic "WWE GM Mode/Universe Mode" booking in the sense that the rivalry has to have at least one TV match before the actual match at a PPV. 

Look, while this is better than shoving pies, the usual overcomplicated booking has soured me and it's a shame because I believe the idea of this feud is fantastic. 

However, it does make you wonder if Charlotte Flair was the person that threw the pie at Kevin Owens 5 years ago considering that she threw the pie first at Toni a few weeks back and the fact that she was on that episode of RAW. 

RKBRO vs The New Day vs The Usos. 


This match was a meaningless fun tag team match, Playas!

The New Day won the match by pinning the current holder of the blue tag belts, The Usos. 

Sheamus vs Drew McIntyre. 

Ridge Holland wasn't there for his new Irish bestie, Sheamus and all I can say is, Sheamus shouldn't have backstabbed Drew like that earlier this year. The unfortunate lack of distractions from the outside (sarcasm of course) gave Drew the opportunity to defeat Sheamus clean as glass. 

So, to recap for all of you slow mofos. 

Like: RKBRO vs The New Day vs The Usos, Xia Li’s debut. 

Didn’t like: The booking of the Toni Storm and Charlotte Flair match, another meaningless show.

WWE NXT Takeover: Toronto | My Coherent Review.

Another month or so, another great NXT Takeover event courtesy of the NXT creative team filled with top-notch in-ring action and storytelling. I know it feels tiresome when you heard people praise highly talk about the Takeover shows but trust me they are that good.  The Street Profits vs The Undisputed Era for the NXT Tag Team Championship. During the match, Montez Ford delivered the people's elbow after hitting a spinebuster on Bobby Fish. The match ended with a frog splash from Montez Ford and The Street Profits continues to celebrate as tag team champions.  I'm very conflicted with this decision mainly because I don't want to see more okay matches between The Forgotten Sons and Danny Burch and Oney Lorcan but I'm going to be optimistic hoping that it's not the case.  Io Shirai vs Candice Lerae.  Io's theme song is simple yet badass at the same time (no shit, Omar). The match started off with Candice rushing to the ring and brawled on the outs...

WWE RAW 13/7/20 | A Coherent Review.

I didn't like this show. Thankfully, this episode didn't pull a Smackdown but because of how well last week's show went, I felt really underwhelmed watching that.   MVP Lounge. Special Guest, Dolph Ziggler.  Montel Von Porter welcomed his guest that shares a common hatred for Drew McIntyre and that guest is, of course, Dolph Ziggler.  Ziggler compliments the new United States championship design to which MVP let him know that he'll talk to his people and get a new WWE championship design once the show-off, wins the championship (and honestly, Ziggler's got a point, the WWE Title needs a new design).  Dolph further tells MVP that he's the reason why Drew defeated Brock Lesnar at Wrestlemania for the WWE title.  Out came the Scotsmen himself and he basically said that he'll beat the crap out of him and Dolph got a bit of that with a punch. An enjoyable segment.  The thing I kind of appreciate about this feud is that Dolph...

Finn Balor Is Indeed Out Of Action.

A couple of days ago, WWE announced that Finn Balor suffered an injury and didn't specify on what the injury was. His last match, by the way, was a triple threat match at a house show last Wednesday in Santiago, Chile against Dolph Ziggler and Drew McIntyre to which McIntrye won.  It turns out that Finn wasn't dealing with an injury at all, at least according to Mike Johnson over at  PWinsider . Instead, Balor is dealing with an illness and couldn't continue the Latin America tour. Finn is also unable to compete on the Mixed Match Challenge, replacing him with Apollo Crews. But the powers that be believe that he's 100% ready for TLC next week. Here's what he had to say about that via Twitter:  I am sorry I could not preform in #WWEBuenosAires Lo siento no pude competir en #WWEBuenosAires — Finn Bálor forEVERYone (@FinnBalor) December 7, 2018   I wish him nothing but a speedy recovery.  By the way, I report on the 5 major or minor news of ...
