WWE Smackdown 3/12/21 | A Coherent Review.

 Another meh episode of Smackdown and this is probably the part where I slap my head and say, “HERE’S WHY!”.

My Man Brook Shagner Told Sami Zayn, "Why Can't You Face Roman Reigns Tonight Instead Of Day One?" 


The witty headline above pretty much described the entire opening although it wasn't as in-depth as a Wrestling Inc article or something.

Sami Zayn followed through Brick's advice but the former universal champion laid waste on Sami with a good old F5. 

That gave the tribal chief the opportunity to nail the spear and the guillotine to quickly retain the blue belt. 

Seeing all of this unfold, makes me miss the babyface Sami Zayn I know and love. From that character point of view, it's so depressing to see him in that position. 

You could say the same thing about Will Smith right now with Jada. 

All bad humour aside, it'll be interesting to see where Paul Heyman's loyalty lie on. 

Sasha Banks vs Shayna Baszler. 

A Wrestlemania worthy main event calibre match if Shayna Baszler hasn't had a rocky main roster run.

Nevertheless, it was a good match. A very good match as a matter of opinion. Banks wins with the most protective move in pro wrestling, a schoolboy roll-up. 

The Viking Raiders vs Los Lotharios.


The match ended via an inside cradle from Angel to Erik after Rick Boogs tried to distract Angel.  

Wait. Somebody actually overcame the distraction finish!? That has to be a cap, right? 

Oh, and Viking Raiders danced along with Shinsuke and Rick Boogs even though they were the reason why they lost the match. I guess the powers of Valhalla included the power of positivity. 


Jeff Hardy and Drew McIntyre ruined Happy Talk which sounds either really good or really bad out of context. 

I, for one, think that scene was really dull. 


More comic book strips with Xia Li continues and like all of those vignettes, it's well-produced but I just can't see her being utilized greatly for more than a month or so. 

King Woods vs Jey Uso. 

A good match is all I'll say about this. The bout ended with a DQ because Jimmy Uso made Woods slip onto the ring apron but fortunately for the king, his loyal knight came to aid the monarch himself.

I mean, I can't complain about a New Day and Usos match again so I do not have any pessimism about this feud.  

Sheamus vs Cesaro. 


Former members of The Bar battled it out in a solid exhibition. 

Sheamus defeated "it's my time to shine for the millionth time" Cesaro with the brogue kick. 


And the final segment of the episode is Charlotte getting a pie thrown out by Toni Storm. I hate the fact that a feud between two talented performers revolves around pie-throwing. 

So, to recap all of you slow mofos. 

Like: the in-ring work from the likes of Sasha Banks and Shayna Baszler, Sheamus and Cesaro, Woods and Jey Uso. 

Didn’t like: The sad state of Sami Zayn’s character, Whatever the hell is a Happy Talk.

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...

WWE RAW 30/12/19 | My Coherent Review.

I'm back from a two-week review hiatus and honestly, it was refreshing but this ain't about me. You're here for my thoughts on the final RAW of the 2010s and it was decent until the ending.  I'm still in shock as to what did I just witness. I've not been this shocked from seeing an ending like that probably since watching the movie "Schindler's List".  Kevin Owens Wants To Take Seth Rollins And AOP Down.  Owens in a promo, says that the heel trio are disrespecting Rey Mysterio and shows footage of Mysterio losing the US title to Andrade in a house show even though the luchador wasn't 100%.  Seth Rollins and his friends came out and Kevin Owens immediately tried to attack AOP but that did not fail thanks to Samoa Joe and chaos has ensued to start off RAW.  Charly Caruso showed up to interview Samoa Joe about what AOP and Rollins did to him last week to which a bunch of security guards entered the locker room to get rid of Owens ...

AEW Double Or Nothing | My Coherent Review.

I was supposed to post this review two hours after the show aired but my internet connection went down for several hours and I got extremely frustrated and if you’re addicted to the interwebs, that is probably the scariest thing ever other than your worst fear of course. Anyways, I, unfortunately, haven't watched the two pre-show matches because I was out working. So, the million dollar question, was AEW's Double Or Nothing a great show? I'm happy to announce that it was an outstanding PPV overall. One of the problems I had with ALL IN is the match card placements and they fixed it in this PPV.  Oh, and I'm warning you guys that this PPV review is longer than my Wrestlemania 35 review (which you can click here ) just because a lot of things happened on this show. Unfortunately, I couldn’t find pictures for each match so y’all are only going to see the writing.  Double Or Nothing started off with the Hamilton stars sang the American National anthem (omg, can Ja...
