WWE Smackdown 7/1/22 | A Coherent Review.

Are you ready for a GOOOOOOOOD time!" Well, not really since I found out about my workin…….. I mean productivity schedule. 

Enough about my sad adult life, how was Smackdown this week? It was surprisingly enjoyable considering how mediocre Smackdown has been as of late.

Brick Laser Beam Approach The Tribal Chief For A Title VS Title Match. 


And the universal champion was like, "We'll do this my time" aka it's happening. 

The Brook man questioned the way Heyman praised the blue champ which led to a superman punch from Roman to the WWE champion. 

I don't hate this idea. Bring it on, I guess? 

Rick Boogs vs Sami Zayn. 

You know Zayn has been underutilized when he got a jobber entrance. Rick wins the match. Oh, and Johnny Knoxville threw Sami over the top rope. Again, WHO!? 

Charlotte Flair Show Us The Participants For This Year's Women's Royal Rumble Match. 


I can't believe WWE did this. Summer Rae is coming back and all I can say is, HIDE NATALYA! 

All lame jokes aside, It is awesome to see Mickie James joining this year's Royal Rumble match especially since they announced her (at least on Twitter) as the Impact knockouts champion especially since WWE rarely acknowledges the wider wrestling landscape. 

An interaction with Naomi followed with a pretty good match even though Sonya pulled a Susan once again by screwing over a black woman. 

The Viking Raiders vs Happy Corbin And Madcap Moss. 

There was a Happy Corbin and Midcap Moss segment that I definitely cared about as much as WWE cares about their workers. 

The Viking Raiders lost to the team of Happy Corbin and Nocap Moss. 

The Usos vs The New Day For The Smackdown Tag Team Championship In A Street Fight. 


A great match but I do believe this should be the end of these two guys competing with each other at least for a while. 

The Usos retained the blue tag belts with the 3D to Kofi Kingston through a table. 


A match that feels like it was teased for almost a year now is finally official because Roman Reigns is facing his former Shield comrade, Seth Rollins for the blue belt at the Royal Rumble and the way Seth Rollins showed up to Roman's room was f'ing hilarious. 

Can't wait to see how these two guys interact over the next few weeks or so. 

So, to recap for all of you slow mofos. 

Like:  Usos vs New Day, Charlotte Flair vs Naomi, the announcement of Roman Reigns and Seth Rollins match at the Royal Rumble. 

Didn't like: Happy Corbin and Madcap Moss segment, #SamiZayndeservesbetter.

WWE Smackdown Live 10/7/18 | My Coherent Review.

Smackdown live was a bad show that did nothing as a wrestling fan to gain any excitement for extreme rules. Why you ask? Well i'm gonna give you what's good. No scratch that, i'm gonna give you what's ok and what's bad. Here we go. WHAT'S OK The opening segment and the brawl after that The opening segment was meh. And the brawl after that was fine. Didn't make me go "OHHHHHHHHHHH" or anything like along those lines. That brawl leads to a TEN MAN TAG TEAM match (Ummmmmm no shit omar). I will say this, the segment kinda teased the fact that maybe kane will turn on his best friend? I don't know. Should be interesting.  Andrade "cien" almas vs Sin cara The match was surprisingly decent. At one point andrade delivered a devastating stomp to sin cara on the ring apron. Andrade wins with a running knee to sin cara on the middle rope. Hoping andrade can move on to bigger and better things.  WHAT'S BAD ...

The Obsession With Ratings. Warranted Or Not?

(Just a bit of a heads-up, this article contains a lot of the word "ratings").  Rating. Rating. Rating. It is a word that you see or hear many times throughout your wrestling fandom but why is that?  Well, it's interesting to see how your weekly consumption does by the numbers every week.  However, that conversation can turn the other way.  The toxic, " logic-filled" , gatekeeping way that is (you see why I muted the word "rating" on Twitter?).  Fans have been talking about TV ratings for years but that discussion has skyrocketed once AEW Dynamite and NXT airs on the same night every week ya know because wrestling fans am I right?  Before I answer the question of whether the obsession with TV ratings is warranted or not, I'll first have to briefly describe the Nielsen rating (which is an American TV rating system. No sh*t, Omar).  A Summary Of The History Of The Nielsen Ratings.  The Nielsen rating system was introduced...

Should Dave Meltzer Get Rid Of His Rating System?

So a few weeks ago, good old Dave Meltzer of the wrestling observer newsletter gave the Kazuchika Okada vs Kenny omega match at dominion 2018 a 7-star rating. According to the interent wrestling database , this match is by far his HIGHEST match rating ever (i don't blame him because the match was amazing). So statistically, this is his favourite match of all time . Now, why I'm writing this now?  Well, his best match ratings have been a consistent 5 stars since 1983 with the exception of all the Omega vs Okada matches and the Mitsuharu Misawa vs Toshiaki Kawada match at AJPW's Budokan hall show in June of 1994.  There are fans that take his match ratings as an offence somehow like "Why he rates X match better than Y match?" or thinks that he "hates" WWE which is ridiculous considering that he gave three WWE matches a 5 star ratings just this past year. One was the ladder match to crown the first ever NXT North American champion, the Johnny Garga...
