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 Season Premiere | A Coherent Review.

It is the season premiere of Friday night Smackdown even though WWE doesn't have an offseason. Nevertheless, it was a decent program and had a WAY better ending than whatever the hell of an ending last year's premiere of Friday night Smackdown showed. There isn't a women's match this week and all of the AEW fanboys are looking at this like, "sEe, WWE dOeSn't feATuRe wOmeN'S mAtChEs aLsO." pictures via WWE.com The Season Premiere Of Smackdown 2020. The show started off with Triple H and Stephanie McMahon highlighting the scheduled matches for Smackdown as well as the superstars. Chaos then ensued thanks to a huge brawl. Then, the "super freak" Lars Sullivan came out and delivered the freak accident to Shorty G. Somehow, Jeff Hardy attacked him and that led to the opening match of the night between Lars and Jeff. You know, I'm kind of surprised that two white people in McMahon and Hemsley knew who Rick James is. Maybe I'm igno...

THE Coherent AEW Take: Christian Dior, Dior. Eddie Kingston up in all the stores!

Ever since AEW Dynamite was on Saturday night for a bit, I've been WAY behind on AEW content so excuse my ignorance. And It's Full Gear weekend which means another PPV that would last longer than the Snyder cut. Sheeit, I'll bet the collar and elbow hold alone from the Hangman Page and Kenny Omega championship match, is longer than the entire Queen's Crown tournament. As far as how I feel about both programs this week, well. They did an okay job on building towards the final AEW PPV of the year this Saturday. Rampage. Highlights. Bryan Danielson vs Anthony Bowens. And no, the highlight doesn't include Max Caster's verses. I'll rather listen to f**king Riff Raff than Max Caster's dig on anything. The worst part, people are probably going to look at this and say, "can't wait for a Max Caster's appearance on Wild 'N Out!" With that being said, this opening match was good. Danielson wins with the rebel lock. Eddie Kingston (wi...

The Coherent Wrestling Wednesdays: Fyter Fest 2020 Came Back Swinging?

Last week, on this very series, I said that I enjoyed Great American Bash better than Fyter Fest. Well, this week is the exact opposite. AEW came in swinging with night 2 Fyter Fest. I've not liked a Dynamite episode in several weeks so it's nice to see that the show finally executed a great show since God knows how long. NXT Highlights (at least in my opinion because wrestling is subjective). Mia Yim vs Candice LeRae In A Street Fight. The match went underway after Yim quickly attacked Candice LeRae during LeRae's entrance. In the crowd area, Candice tried to nail the suplex on the table but Yim got out of that position and kicked her to which she landed through the table. The Streetfight concluded with LeRae striking Yim with the brass knuckles followed by a swinging neck from the top of the table onto a bunch of chairs and that's how LeRae defeats the HBIC. A fun opening match even though...
