WWE Smackdown 4/3/22 | A Coherent Review.

Ronda Rousey made her Smackdown in-ring debut which is insane to think about. The fact that they actually maintained the integrity of the brand split. 

How was the show this week? Like all of their programming as of late, it was aight. 

Naomi vs Carmella. 

This was meh. The so-called "most beautiful woman in all of WWE" lost with a moonsault to Naomi. 

Not gonna lie, seeing both Naomi and Sasha Banks in the tag team sphere feels not only a random arc to book but it's also a creative demotion since they're capable of so much more. 

Drew McIntyre vs Jinder Mahal. 

Aka a match that they definitely thought about as their WWE championship match at last year's WrestleMania. 

One former WWE champion delivered the claymore to another former WWE champion which led to Drew's victory. Coolinos. 

The Viking Raiders vs The Usos For The Smackdown Tag Team Championship. 

A pretty good tag team match, playas! The raiding guys were about to walk out of this episode as the tag champions with the Viking Experience but Jey Uso broke the pin as soon as the referee counted 2. 

Unfortunately for the Northsmen, The Usos retained the titles with the 3D to Erik. There's nothing wrong with expanding a performer's wrestling arsenal. 

In other words, the 3D is a move they should use a lot more. Kinda like it honestly. 

Sheamus vs Big E. 

The star of the match was that darn ATV and moments after the match's sudden end, both lads destroyed the ATV, channelling their inner Brock Lesnar from 2004. Noice! 

Ronda Rousey vs Sonya Deville. 

Rousey looked good here which shouldn't be a surprise to us not named Susan Deville over here. 

The woman that looks like a confused NPC won the match with the armbar that was followed by another submission by Ronda to Charlotte Flair (aka the ankle lock). 


Austin Theory was like, "Hey Pat, come face my creepy a** at Wrestlemania." I'm sure Vince was supposed to face McAfee but a somewhat wise old man once said, "plan's changed". 

While Roman Reigns revealed a spoiler for his title vs title match at WrestleMania in that he'll defeat the beast. Meh. 

Ricochet vs Sami Zayn For The Intercontinental Championship. 

Ever since WWE continued the arc between Sami Zayn and Johnny Knoxville, you know my man was going to lose the IC belt and that's exactly what happened here. 

The best part? It ended via a distraction finish thanks to the goof himself, Johnny Knox. 

And just like Shinsuke's reign, WWE ain't gonna do Jack sh*te with Ricochet as the intercontinental champion. At least the match itself was actually prettay, prettay, pretty good

So, to recap for all of you slow mofos. 

Like: The Viking Raiders vs The Usos (THAT 3D!? I LIKE IT), Ricochet vs Sami Zayn. 

Didn't like: Sasha And Naomi teaming up is a creative demotion.

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...

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 ...

WWE RAW 10/2/20 | My Coherent Review.

Wrestlemania goes Hollywood……….again but this is not my quick thoughts about Wrestlemania going to Los Angeles for the first time in 15 years (that logo is great) but rather, a review for this week's Monday Night RAW (wow, I didn't know that).  The red brand delivered a solid show once again. As a matter of opinion, I thought it was a great show.  Yea, there was some filler here and there but overall, this was a home run for WWE's flagship show (get it? Flagship? because this year's Wrestlemania has a pirate theme?).  Monday Night Messiah Wants To Unite Not Divide.  Seth Rollins welcomes everybody to Monday Night RAW which would be a different conversation online had Stephanie McMahon said it.  One-half of the tag team champions talked about how he doesn't preach a message of divisiveness but rather oneness (if that's a real word).  Out came Kevin Owens and he thinks that Seth to quote R Truth a couple of weeks back, talks a lot a...
