WWE Smackdown 28/1/22 | A Coherent Review.

Smackdown before the 2022 Royal Rumble was pretty f*king skippable. Nothing too major happened which is, unfortunately, to be expected these days.

Legit Royal Rumble Winner!? 


At least that's what the entire opening scene implied based on Sasha Banks standing tall in the end after the likes of Aliyah, Natalya, "holy sh*t, Aliyah is getting more of a push than I do" Shayna Baszler and "I'm still here" Shotzi. 

I guess the ending was one big stan fan cam so that's cool, I guess. 

Ricochet And Cesaro vs Sheamus And Ridge Holland. 

Yay! A rematch from the Day One show. The big bruf pinned the Swiss superman to win the tag team bout. Coolirnos. 

Naomi vs Sonya Deville. 

Oh, my pog of all pogs. This was a fun encounter. I guess the groundhog day of wrestling segments benefited in the end? Not really. 

After the glow queen defeated a certified Susan, Sonya Deville, the current WWE official decided to include herself in the women's Royal Rumble match.

In-Zayn Podcast May Be A Bad Segment But It's Better Than The Joe Rogan Experience. 

That headline above has a point. The scene led to a tag match between Jinder Mahal, Shanky, Shinsuke Nakamura and Rick Boogs which the latter won the bout thanks to Boogs' strength. 

Well, I need the strength to go through a meaningless episode without yawning. 

The New Day In Big E And Kofi Kingston vs Madcap Moss And Happy Corbin. 

The babyfaces prevailed with the midnight hour. AL Cool Bin Tamam. 

Roman Reigns Wanted To STACK AND SMASH Seth Rollins Before Their Match Tomorrow. 


Uh, it's a title based feud, what do you think!? 

Rollins did steal it in his promo before the dude dodged a superman punch from the tribal chief which was Ricochet levels of cool. 

 So, to recap for all of you slow mofos. 

Like: Seth Rollins' promo, Naomi vs Sonya Deville. 

Didn't like: meaningless a** matches, In-Zayn podcast.

WWE Extreme Rules 2019 | My Coherent Review.

Man, I'm impressed with WWE in terms of PPVs as of late because overall, this was a fantastic show in my opinion with great matches but the crowd was dead for most of the show so that sucks.  I finally watched the pre-show match between Finn Balor and Shinsuke Nakamura before I went to bed because the show aired at 2 am where I live and it was okay.  By the way, how interesting is it when on last year’s Extreme Rules show, Shinsuke Nakamura won the United States championship and now this year’s show, he won the intercontinental title. Also, it's funny that the intercontinental championship was the main event on last's year show and on this year's Extreme Rules PPV, it's on the preshow.  Shane McMahon and Drew McIntyre vs Roman Reigns and The Undertaker.  Mike Rome did better in announcing "The Best In the world" this time than on RAW. Mike Rome's announcement a few weeks ago sounded like that one friend that thinks he/she knows how to ...

NXT Takeover: In Your House 2020 | A Coherent Review.

NXT Takeover: In Your House is like the rest of the Takeover shows, a fantastic 2 hours of professional wrestling.  What makes this show special is the additional nostalgia like how the show started with the NXT WWF inspired intro, the ice cream commercial narrated by William Regal doing his best Lord Alferd Hayes impression, icopro commercial and last but not least, Todd Pettengill.  This is a show that I'm definitely rewatching in years to come.  Mia Yim, Tegan Nox And Shotzi Blackheart vs Raquel Gonzalez, Candice LeRae And Dakota Kai.  A decent opening match. During the match, Nox did a Molly Holly top rope on to every competitor in the match.  Yim tried to give LeRae some Seoul Food but LeRae reversed that into a suplex. Several minutes later, Shotzi did a Salida Del Sol of some sort on Gonzalez to which Nox delivered the shiniest wizard on Kai and won the match.  Finn Balor vs Damian Priest. I actually thought that the closing mo...

The Coherent Wrestling Wednesdays: Holy Sh*t, The Revival Are All Elite, Matt Riddle vs Timothy Thatcher In A Unique Steel Cage Match.

Both shows had its weak points but overall, that was an enjoyable 4 hours of professional wrestling television. I personally liked AEW Dynamite this week.  From an awesome women's match with Shida and Christi Jaynes to The Revival showing up, AEW managed to give me a solid episode and successfully furthered their storylines to next week's exciting show.  NXT   Highlights (at least in my opinion because wrestling is subjective).  Kushida vs Drake Maverick vs Jake Atlas. Triple Threat Match Interim Cruiserweight Championship Tournament.  What a way to kick off this episode of NXT, am I right? Atlas delivered the rainbow DDT but Kushida broke Jake's pin.  Speaking of Kushida, he nailed the armbar submission, however, Drake pinned Atlas because Atlas' shoulders were on the mat and will meet El Hijo Del Fantasma for the finals next week.  I don't know if Drake is rehired or he's going to be rehired but Maverick has a big ta...
