WWE Smackdown 21/1/22 | A Coherent Review.

 Another week, another time Pat McAfee shows me why he's better than Corey Graves. Both in the ring AND on the commentary table. 

As far as how I feel about this week's episode, it ain't good, people. It ain't good.

Sethy Mane Wanted A Tag Partner So….……….


That he faces The Usos later in the show and if drippy Jesus wins, 2 out of 3 members of the Bloodline are barred off ringside in the blue title encounter (in case you were wondering, Kevin Owens was Seth's tag partner). 

BUTTTTTTTTTTTT! The tribal chief had other ideas. He proposed a pitch where if the "burn it down" man loses the tag match, the Rumble match is gone, FINITO! 

Bully Ray probably saw Seth Rollins' uttering Jox Moxley's name and reacted, "HOW DARE YOU!! BLASPHEMY!" 

Fortunately for SR The Drip Mane, he got what he wanted via a DQ finish thanks to a superman punch from Roman Reigns.

While the ending did protect the tag champs, the consequences of it were just confusing especially since Reigns "wanted a vacation till Wrestlemania" and it indirectly gave Rollins a leg up. 

The entire structure of the match going into it, had both RAW superstars being victorious which made the bout badly predictable. 


As a guy that loves the idea of Rollins facing Reigns at the Royal Rumble for the blue belt, the booking of this feud, so far, has been unappetizing. 

Madcap Moss vs Kofi Kingston. 

Hey guys, I may be sick of this match happening twice but at least the other side in Kofi Kingston won the whole thing, RIGHT!? 

Aliyah vs Natalya. 

Speaking of meaningless rematches. Natalya's series of stomps onto Aliyah, cost the match to end via a DQ which gave Aliyah the win. 

Xia Li came to save Aliyah from a beatdown by Natalya. 

Wait, is Xia Li's character basically the white Knight because all she's been doing since her main roster tenure is literally rescuing people. 

The Viking Raiders vs Los Lotharios. 

A decent match for what it was. The raiding men from somewhere in Scandinavia won the match with the Viking Experience (side note, Thor's hammer was a way better name but I'm just nitpicking). 

Susan Messes Over A Black Woman. In Other News, The Colour Of Blood Is Red. 

Do I really have to explain why!? A match is happening between Deville and Naomi next week so we will see what happens. 

Sheamus vs Ricochet. 

The only thing I enjoyed about this episode. Sheamus emerged victorious because who didn’t besides the people that convinces fans to “let it play out”. 

So, to recap for all of you slow mofos. 

Like: Sheamus vs Ricochet I guess? 

Didn't like: The writing of the Roman Reigns and Seth Rollins feud so far, the meaningless rematches.

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 minute...

My Coherent Wrestling Wednesdays: Chris Jericho Offers Moxley To Join Inner Circle, The Go-Home Show Before Dec 18th.

I thought the middle act of AEW Dynamite suffered some pacing issues even though it was overall a much stronger show than last week's episode.  The latest episode of NXT, however, has built a solid foundation on what's to come on December 18th. The main question is, which show do I like better? The answer is AEW.  NXT  Highlights. Angel Garza vs Lio Rush For The NXT Cruiserweight Championship.  Was this match better than their first encounter? Like Snoop Dogg's verse in Sasha Banks' theme song, "Hell yea". Garza slams Rush hard on the ring apron by pushing the champ. Moments later, Garza delivers the Spanish Fly and Rush kicked out of that.  As Rush hits the frog splash, the champ wanted to pull him back in the middle of the ring but instead, he ripped off Garza's pants (nice attention to detail).  Angel then hits the wind clipper but Lio kicked out which led to a wind clipper submission and the man of the hour tapped out which m...

NXT Takeover Phoenix | My Coherent Review.

NXT Takeover was a great show with great wrestling, energetic crowd and intriguing storytelling (OMG, REALLY? I didn’t know that).  War Raiders vs The Undisputed Era (Kyle O’ Reilly and Roderick Strong) for the NXT Tag Team Championship.  First off, cool entrance by War Raiders. Secondly, the match was entertaining. At one point, Strong did a superplex to Hanson. The match ended with War Raiders delivered the Fallout to Kyle O ‘Reilly and won the match. War Raiders are the new NXT Tag Team Champions deservedly so.  Matt Riddle vs Kassius Ohno. During the match, Ohno hit Riddle right on his mouth which absolutely looked brutal. Minutes after that, Riddle hits Ohno with series of elbow strikes which made Ohno tap out and won the match. A very unique finish but nevertheless, this was a decent match.  Johnny Gargano vs Ricochet for the NXT North American Championship.  Those guys put on the absolute clinic of a wrestling match. But that ending ...
