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 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 ...

Wrestling With Whiteness | A Documentary Sorely Needed.

Here's the thing. My 2 viewers will know that I've been a wrestling fan for 15 plus years but what they do not know is that I've been a Somali (aka a Black Muslim person) my entire life so talking about this documentary is going to be a little more personal, to say the least.  And look, I know this is the part where I insert my usual wit and fart jokes but you're not gonna see less of that because this is a serious topic (and you know it's serious when I mentioned my ethnicity) about representation and the shared struggle across every single black performer featured in this documentary.  From the press release, Wrestling With Whiteness "focuses on sharing the stories of Black folx and their experience in the wrestling community. Using a combination of interviews with Black wrestlers and Black content creators, Wrestling With Whiteness uncovers the unique experiences of Black people in the industry and the rise of representation for performers and fans around th...

A Guide On How To Improve Wrestling Criticism.

Now, before you all verbally eat me alive like a hippopotamus (yes hippos eat humans, look that up), understand that I’m just an average dude writing about pro wrestling and doesn’t claim to be an expert in anything and that includes professional wrestling (except cooking. I’m damn good at cooking).  However, what I’ve been discovering as a pro wrestling blogger for over a year is that there are some wrestling criticism out there that just make me wanna scratch my head to the point where my hands turn into an electric shaver if that makes sense. For instance, “Why is Ricochet’s trunks red instead of white?” or “Why’s Andrade wearing his Luchador mask for his entrance every week?”  In other words, they’re nitpicking and trust me I do that ALL THE TIME in my wrestling reviews. There’s nothing wrong with nitpicking certain things but the difference is that I acknowledge that I’m nitpicking and those guys clearly don’t.  There are fans out there on the interweb that b...
