WWE Smackdown 4/2/22 | A Coherent Review.

 Gotta be honest guys, this episode didn't do it for me. 

Besides the announcement of Ronda Rousey challenging Charlotte Flair for the blue women's belt at Wrestlemania as well as another challenge proposed by Goldberg aka NoBerg to the tribal chief, this, like last week's show, was as skippable as an anime filler episode. 

Paul Heyman Was Like, "F**k That Brock Guy!" 

Brock and Paul legit need some counselling because they've broken up and reunited together like my relationship with the Call of Duty franchise. To quote Gordon Ramsey, "DAMN! DAMN! DAMN! DAMN!" 

All lame banter aside, Paul Heyman's promos before Goldberg's appearance was the only good thing throughout the entire show. 

As far as how I feel about the idea of Goldberg facing Roman Reigns at the upcoming Elimination Chamber show, major Ls on this one.  

Ricochet vs Ridge Holland. 

Yay, the "one on one match that later turned into a tag match" cliche. The difference is that you don't get to hear Teddy Long's theme music only for the guy to announce a tag team match, Playas. 

Ricochet won the singles match to which Holland came back with a W in the tag team match. Nice! 

Aliyah vs Natalya. 

I've seen this match so many times, my autocorrect literally filled the "Aliyah vs Natalya" line for me. 

Aliyah defeated the queen of hearts with a count-out. 

Erik vs Jimmy Uso. 

A decent match is all I'll say. One half of The Usos defeated the Viking man with a splash Samoa style.  

Drew McIntyre DEMANDS To Hear Some Jokes. 

Drew McIntyre is me after seeing Dave Chappelle's recent comedy special. 

This segment was far from a Chappelle show skit and more so the sh*t your classmate came up with because they'll remind us all that they're funny even though they're not. 


Sami Zayn got his IC title match in two weeks on the February 18th episode of Smackdown while Natalya gets yet another rematch (Inshallah, the last) from Aliyah in a dungeon style pinfall and submission only encounter. Coolirnos. 

Shinsuke Nakamura vs Jinder Mahal. 

Seeing this match one more, I was reminded of that God awful segment where Jinder Mahal made fun of Shinsuke Nakamura's accent because nothing screams WWE than a good old fashioned xenophobia. 

That sh*t ain't no reminder but rather a f**king nightmare. Nakamura wins with Kinshasa. F**king great, guys! 

The New Day vs Los Lotharios. 

Just like his tag partner, Big E went right back to his old position in the card instead of getting a WWE championship rematch and you know what? I absolutely hate it. 

But. But. But. At least, they won a match here, right? 



Like I said in the opening statement, Ronda Rousey and Charlotte Flair will face each other at the Mania of Wrestles for the blue women's belt. 

I mean, they had a fire match a few years ago so why can't this be the case? I would prefer Ronda facing Becky Lynch but it is what it is, I guess. 

So, to recap for all of you slow mofos. 

Like: Paul Heyman's promo. 

Didn't like: JUST CANCEL THE ENTIRE F**KING EPISODE!

WWE Smackdown 17/12/21 | A Coherent Review.

Another week, another meh episode of Smackdown although the ending was pretty eye-opening.  Images via WWE.com   The Viking Raiders vs Jinder Mahal And Shanky.  After a backstage segment that included The Usos roasting Xavier Woods' kingship, the blue brand really started the show with a match (not this one) which is a rare thing to see on main roster television. And the match wasn't bad at all.  The Viking Raider defeated the team of Jinder and Shanky with a splash from Ivor. Does everyone want a Happy Corbin segment? Well, no and Drew McIntyre agrees as he took out Corbin and Madcap Moss to retrieve his sword which sounds like a bad King Arthur comedy flick or something.  Naomi Wants A Match With Sonya Deville.  Naomi is upset at how Sonya Deville acted like a Susan over the past few months so the glow queen challenged the actual manager to a match at Day 1 and Sonya was like, "Ahhhh, no".  Naomi then had a match with Shayna Baszler and within minute...

My Coherent Wrestling Wednesdays: Chris Jericho Offers Moxley To Join Inner Circle, The Go-Home Show Before Dec 18th.

I thought the middle act of AEW Dynamite suffered some pacing issues even though it was overall a much stronger show than last week's episode.  The latest episode of NXT, however, has built a solid foundation on what's to come on December 18th. The main question is, which show do I like better? The answer is AEW.  NXT  Highlights. Angel Garza vs Lio Rush For The NXT Cruiserweight Championship.  Was this match better than their first encounter? Like Snoop Dogg's verse in Sasha Banks' theme song, "Hell yea". Garza slams Rush hard on the ring apron by pushing the champ. Moments later, Garza delivers the Spanish Fly and Rush kicked out of that.  As Rush hits the frog splash, the champ wanted to pull him back in the middle of the ring but instead, he ripped off Garza's pants (nice attention to detail).  Angel then hits the wind clipper but Lio kicked out which led to a wind clipper submission and the man of the hour tapped out which m...

NXT Takeover Phoenix | My Coherent Review.

NXT Takeover was a great show with great wrestling, energetic crowd and intriguing storytelling (OMG, REALLY? I didn’t know that).  War Raiders vs The Undisputed Era (Kyle O’ Reilly and Roderick Strong) for the NXT Tag Team Championship.  First off, cool entrance by War Raiders. Secondly, the match was entertaining. At one point, Strong did a superplex to Hanson. The match ended with War Raiders delivered the Fallout to Kyle O ‘Reilly and won the match. War Raiders are the new NXT Tag Team Champions deservedly so.  Matt Riddle vs Kassius Ohno. During the match, Ohno hit Riddle right on his mouth which absolutely looked brutal. Minutes after that, Riddle hits Ohno with series of elbow strikes which made Ohno tap out and won the match. A very unique finish but nevertheless, this was a decent match.  Johnny Gargano vs Ricochet for the NXT North American Championship.  Those guys put on the absolute clinic of a wrestling match. But that ending ...
