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.

My Coherent Wrestling Wednesdays: Three Big Returns, A Great Inaugural Women's Championship Match.

If you have been a fan of this site since January, then you'll know that I've completely rebooted my review process and now, I'm doing that again.  Don't worry, the format for my RAW, Smackdown and PPV reviews will still be the same but not on Wednesdays. So, here it is, My Coherent Wrestling Wednesdays.  NXT The Highlights. Adam Cole vs Matt Riddle For The NXT Championship.  A match that opened this episode of the yellow brand, the original bro and the leader of The Undisputed Era tore the house down.  Whether it's Cole reversing the fireman's carry from Riddle into a backstabber, Cole hitting a Panama sunrise twice, a floating bro or the crowd chanting "Adam Cole, bro", it was a visual statement by NXT that the yellow brand is THE brand to watch.  Unfortunately,  Riddle felt short and ate the last shot but there was another highlight I wanna talk about….. Finn Balor Returns To N. X. T.  It's not a typo my friends, Finn ...

WWE Wrestlemania 26 | A Coherent Review.

I've teased a mystery review on my Facebook page (which you can click here to follow us) and that mystery has now been unveiled. It's Wrestlemania 26. This review was delayed and was supposed to be up last Monday but at least is now up. Also, The first draft of this review was 7 pages long so strap in. By far, the longest review on this very website.  I thought it would be fitting to review a Wrestlemania from a decade back and how do I feel about it? It was a show that if you watched it, you're most likely going to have a good time. It was a mix of great things but terrible things at the same time as most shows.  The 26th edition of Wrestlemania took place in the University of Phoenix Stadium in the Phoenix suburb of Glendale, Arizona on March 28th, 2010.  The commentators were Micheal Cole, Jerry Lawler and Matt Striker. Honestly, Striker was pretty good and a far better colour commentator than Lawler was on this show (even today, Lawler is still bleh on commen...
