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 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...
