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.

WWE Smackdown Live 30/10/18 | My Coherent Review.

Smackdown Live yesterday was a skippable show other than the opening segment and match in my opinion. Now usually on my RAW/Smackdown Live review, I break down what's good, what's ok and what's bad. For the first time, I'm only gonna tell you what's ok given that this show was again a skippable show and here we go. WHAT'S OK The opening segment This is the probably one of if not most noteworthy moment this week mainly because as you might know, there were reports going around that John Cena and Daniel Bryan were out of Crown Jewel and the reports are indeed true and it makes sense, especially for John Cena considering that he's an actor now and he needs to maintain his PR status. The segment itself was decent. Loved both guys' intensity and that segment leads to a WWE championship match and speaking of which............. Daniel Bryan vs AJ Styles Decent match. Expected a better from these two but again, decent nevertheless but...

WWE Smackdown 24/4/20 | A Coherent Review.

This week's Smackdown show was decent but it wasn't as strong as the previous weeks and *hits his head a few times* here's why. The New Day Celebrates Their Title Victory. The show kicked off with the now 8th time WWE tag team champions, The New Day and like the title above, they were celebrating their big title win last week (No sh*t, Omar). During the segment, Kofi mentioned that there's nothing wrong with pointing out that they have more title reigns than The Hart Foundation, Edge and Christian, Demolition, The New Age Outlaws etc because it's them being proud of their accomplishments. Out came Lucha House Party, The Miz and John Morrison and they pretty much said that they deserve a title shot. The Forgotten Sons showed up to tell The New Day, Lucha House Party and every other tag team watching that they will never be forgotten. They lived up to that statement as the Forgotten Sons destroyed Lucha House Party and The New Day. ...

WWE RAW 28/12/20 | A Bit Late Coherent Review.

Before I start this review, I wanna say rest in peace to Jon Huber better known as the person behind the character of Luke Harper and Brodie Lee. It was a tough, painful 3 days for the pro wrestling industry and I certainly felt that. If there's one thing I've learned from the number of great stories being told by the people he has worked with is that Jon is a charming, funny and overall a fantastic human being that loves his family. After reading the countless amount of fantastic tribute posts (including from the likes of Molly Belle of Wrestle Inn and Andrew Thompson of Post Wrestling ), that bit about Jon as a family man made me think of my current relationship with my father and the ways I'm trying to improve from my standpoint. I know this is a cheese pizza saying but tell the people you cared about that you love 'em because that line might make their day. So. Thank you, Jon Huber, for being the light that brightens everybody's darkness. Now, Ho...
