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.

Wrestling With Whiteness | A Documentary Sorely Needed.

Here's the thing. My 2 viewers will know that I've been a wrestling fan for 15 plus years but what they do not know is that I've been a Somali (aka a Black Muslim person) my entire life so talking about this documentary is going to be a little more personal, to say the least.  And look, I know this is the part where I insert my usual wit and fart jokes but you're not gonna see less of that because this is a serious topic (and you know it's serious when I mentioned my ethnicity) about representation and the shared struggle across every single black performer featured in this documentary.  From the press release, Wrestling With Whiteness "focuses on sharing the stories of Black folx and their experience in the wrestling community. Using a combination of interviews with Black wrestlers and Black content creators, Wrestling With Whiteness uncovers the unique experiences of Black people in the industry and the rise of representation for performers and fans around th...

The 5 News Week Look-Back: Batista's Match With Triple H At Wrestlemania 35 Supposed To Be A Hell In A Cell!?, A Look Back At Eric Bischoff's Role As Executive Director.

Hello, my fellow wrestling fans and welcome to the 5 News Week where I usually report on the 5 major or minor news of the week but I'm not doing that here if you can't tell from the graphic I made (you're welcome, by the way).  But Rather, all throughout December, I'm going to look back at some of the news that came out in 2019. The start of a new decade is going to be upon us in the coming days and that can be exciting especially for the future of the wrestling business as a whole. I hope you guys celebrate the new year's day and of course, drink responsibly.  Fans Frustration Over The Booking Of The Main Roster Women's Division.  I wrote an article earlier this year about why women's wrestling in world wrestling entertainment of the year 2018 was great (which you can click here to read the whole thing).  However, it seems like the year after (2019) was the exact opposite. Now, they did rebound the quality of storytelling in the women's div...

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...
