WWE Smackdown 11/2/22 | A Coherent Review.

Other than the women's championship match, this episode (as per usual) didn't do it much for ya boy.

White Ally, Vince McMahon CANCELS Sonya Deville.

Vince McMahon is protecting black women by declining not only Sonya's fine over Ronda Rousey but also ordering the WWE official to not interfere in the Smackdown women's championship bout between Naomi and Charlotte Flair.

Unfortunately, Vinnie Mac didn't say those words in person as he told Adam Pearce to read his statement but you read the title, he's still a white ally to me DAMN IT!

The New Day vs Los Lotharios.

Big E and Kofi Kingston going back to their old ways just don't feel right. We all had high hopes for the big man but WWE loves to kill momentum like a slasher horror movie.

At least the tag match was actually good. Los Lotharios picked up the W with a roll-up from Angel to Kofi Kingston.

Roman Reigns said during an interview with Michael Cole regarding Goldberg's WCW undefeated streak that if he was in WCW, everyone would be winning because the company would still be in business.

Roman may have a few nicknames like the big dog or the tribal chief but philosopher!? Now, that's new.

Aliyah vs Natalya In A Dungeon Style Match.

With a match that doesn't include count outs, you know Aliyah is screwed like Bret……….. Well, I'm not going to say that.

Natalya finally got the W over Aliyah to which she encountered a few kicks By "white knight" Xia Lia. Coolio!

"In-Zayn Podcast Time," Says No One Besides Maybe Corey Graves Because He Sucks.

As a guy who's relaunching a podcast soon, I got a few tips for Sami Zayn already. First of which being DON'T HOST IT ON A LIVE AUDIENCE ESPECIALLY IN A WRESTLING SETTING WHERE WRESTLERS ARE INTERRUPTING YOU!

Zayn put down both Shinsuke Nakamura and Rick Boogs by electrocuting Rick and delivering the helluva kick to the intercontinental champion.

Al Cool Bin Tamam!

Happy Corbin vs Cesaro.

A meh match. Corbin defeated Cesaro with the end of days.

In another interview with Michael Cole, Goldberg wanted to destroy the tribal chief. Maybe in Earth 2, it'll happen.

Midcap Moss would like his match with Drew McIntyre at Chambers of Eliminations to be cancelled but McIntyre was like, "Nah, you good". Okay?

Charlotte Flair vs Naomi For The Smackdown Women's Championship.

The main event is legit the only thing that got me pumped up even though the episode was about to end which is a rare feeling I get from watching pro wrestling, especially WWE's programming.

What a freaking match. Even without Sonya Deville, unfortunately for the glow queen, she wouldn't be able to defeat Charlotte Flair as Flair retained the title with the natural selection.

So, to recap for all of you slow mofos.

Like: White ally, Vince McMahon, the Smackdown women's championship bout.

Didn't like: Just cancel the rest of the episode.

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 ...

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...

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...
