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

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

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.

NXT Takeover: 30 | A Coherent Review.

NXT Takeovers have delivered greatly throughout the "30 years" of Takeover shows. This one, in my opinion, wasn't it. For a Takeover program, this was disappointing. All of the Takeovers are A's or B's and Takeover 30 was a C at best. At least, I like the stage production set. pictures via WWE.com PRESHOW: Breezango vs Legado De La Fantasma vs Oney Lorcan And Danny Burch. Winner Faces Imperium For The NXT Tag Team Championship. It was a fine match. Joaquin Wilde's ring gear was really cool even though it took a bit out of the seriousness from the Legado De La Fantasma stable. I'm just nitpicking though. Breezango actually won the match and will go on to face Imperium for the tag belts. MAIN SHOW: Finn Balor vs Timothy Thatcher. Timothy Thatcher started off this match with a series of punches which he then later transitioned into various submission moves. Pretty much, Finn has no choice but to adapt to...

WWE RAW 28/2/22 | A Coherent Review.

Another week, another episode of Monday Night RAW aka a 2 hour podcast for an angry bearded white guy. Kevin Owens and Seth Rollins spoke with Alpha Academy and……….. It led to a stunner from Kevin Owens to Chad Gable I can't criticize the way Gable says thank you because after all, he's a chad. The segment followed with a decent tag team match between two former rivals and the Academics. And like their dating life, the Alphas took an L here. This is the part where I would be mad at the tag champs getting pinned but those titles, as well as the entire tag division, are so meaningless, I don't have the energy to do so. T-Bar vs Omos. T-Bar lost a match and Omos can't wrestle for sh*ts. In other news, the colour of blood is red. Bianca Belair, Rhea Ripley And Liv Morgan vs Becky Lynch, Doudrop And Nikki A.S.H. Bianca once again proves that she owns all of the EST by leading her team to victory with the KOD on Nikki Ash Ketchum....

Top 3 BEST Distraction Finishes EVER!

Distraction endings to a wrestling match in WWE depend on one another if you think about it. It's like the peanut butter and jelly or the chicken and the basmati biryani rice or Dan Lambert and sexism. "Why top 3", you may ask? Because one, I'm different and two, well, I'm different, so be gone to the mofos that think it's shorter than Brock Lesnar's bout with Kofi Kingston. (WARNING: This piece is mostly sarcasm). Daniel Bryan vs Sheamus. Wrestlemania 28. I know this made your eyebrows raise as high as Rocky Maivia but think about this. The kiss from AJ Lee that led to a brogue kick from Sheamus, has in some way, led to the general audience seeing how Daniel Bryan should be WAY higher in the overall arc than where he was at that time. Also, this was also the year where Bryan showed off his comedic chops with his "NO" catchphrase and his tag team run with the big red conservative, Kane. If anything, this distraction finish was a great chara...
