WWE Smackdown 17/12/21 | A Coherent Review.

Another week, another meh episode of Smackdown although the ending was pretty eye-opening. 

Images via WWE.com 

The Viking Raiders vs Jinder Mahal And Shanky. 

After a backstage segment that included The Usos roasting Xavier Woods' kingship, the blue brand really started the show with a match (not this one) which is a rare thing to see on main roster television. And the match wasn't bad at all. 

The Viking Raider defeated the team of Jinder and Shanky with a splash from Ivor.


Does everyone want a Happy Corbin segment? Well, no and Drew McIntyre agrees as he took out Corbin and Madcap Moss to retrieve his sword which sounds like a bad King Arthur comedy flick or something. 

Naomi Wants A Match With Sonya Deville. 


Naomi is upset at how Sonya Deville acted like a Susan over the past few months so the glow queen challenged the actual manager to a match at Day 1 and Sonya was like, "Ahhhh, no". 

Naomi then had a match with Shayna Baszler and within minutes, Naomi won with the most protective move in professional wrestling, the roll-up. 

We're going to see this match one way or another (this is my exclusive scoop so if you somehow stumbled on this site that is the wrestling media's equivalent to a straight to DVD movie, please credit me but who am I kidding? Y'all would probably link the site and not the actual article). 

Cesaro vs Ridge Holland. 

Two European men slapping meat? Nice. Cesaro took the Distraction finish magic spell this time by Sheamus which led to a bodyslam from Ridge to Cesaro and the big oi bruf wins. 

Sasha Banks And Toni Storm vs Charlotte Flair And Shotzi. 

Apparently, according to Michael Cole, Sasha Banks was at the premiere of Spiderman: No Way Horn and all I can say is, OMG MEPHISTO? 

Like Spiderman: No Way Horn, the tag match was actually pretty fun to match. Toni Storm was THE highlight of the match and that momentum of hers paid off here as she pinned the women's champion with a roll-up. 

The Usos vs The New Day. 

Aka the "beat the champion on an episode of wrestling TV in order to get a title opportunity at a PPV" cliche. 

However, I can't complain too much as they had a decent match. 

The New Day wins with a trouble in paradise to Jimmy Uso.

Roman Reigns Backstabbed Paul E Dangerously. 


That was after he told Roman that he's protecting the tribal chief from the laser God himself, Brook Laser. Out came the beast himself and he laid waste on the entire bloodline. 

Alexa, play I Love You by Lil B. 

I like the ending for a few reasons. One, Heyman does all the talking for Brock Lesnar again seeing that the guy's mic skills is his weak spot. 

Two, the story finally reaches its turning point which I've been waiting for months now and credit to the creative team for actually not rushing the entire arc up like they usually do with big-time rivalries. 

So, to recap for all of you slow mofos. 

Like: The ending, Sasha Banks and Toni Storm vs Charlotte Flair and Shotzi.

Didn't like: nitpicking but not a fan of the "beat the champion for a title opportunity" cliche, another bad Happy Corbin segment.

WWE Survivor Series 2018 | My Coherent Review.

Hello, my fellow wrestling fans reading this and welcome to my coherent review for Survivor Series 2018. Overall, it was a very entertaining show throughout with some minor issues and here's why.  (KICK OFF SHOW) Tag team Survivor Series match  This match was a great example of a skippable match until the last moments.  Xavier Woods did the springboard elbow drop and both members of The Revival countered that into a shatter machine which look amazing.  Minutes later, Scott Dawson hit a superplex to Jimmy Uso and an immediate frog splash from Dash Wilder to a near fall.  After that, Both Usos hit a superkick to Dash followed by a Uso splash and just like that, the Smackdown team took the W which WWE wants to forget about that (so stupid). A decent match but with a boring start in my opinion.  (MAIN SHOW) Women’s Survivor Series match  Before the match started when Nia Jax’s music hit, she got volcanic heat from the Los Ang...

WWE RAW 29/7/19 | My Coherent Review.

There were decisions being made on this show that I would've done it differently if I was on their spot but as a whole, this show was decent and unlike last week's episode, it actually made some progress going into Summerslam.  Drake Maverick and Renee Michelle vs R Truth and Carmella. 24/7 championship. Lumberjack Match.  First off, that intro about the 24/7 title was great. Shout out to the production guys for that. Also, mosh pit? Isn't this a lumberjack match? Anyways, the match ends quickly with a reverse suplex from Truth and then, The rest of the roster (yes, all of them) pinned R Truth to which Mike Kanellis of all people won the match.  He then went inside the WWE officials' room and Maria Kanellis knocked on that door. Maria Kanellis said that if he doesn't open that door then she'll kick him in his "vagina". That line was random yet funny. As far as the 24/7 championship shenanigans are concerned, it was not offensive but it...
