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.

WWE NXT 4/5/21 | A Coherent Review.

  It looks like the Divas era is back based on the time these women get in a wrestling match on the main roster as well as Eva Marie's return (huh? Wrong show? Oh, thank God!).  All lame jokes aside, this week's episode of NXT is apples to spaceships difference between this show and Monday Night BORE (I legit fell asleep while watching the show which is why I didn't post a RAW review yesterday).  Last week's episode wasn't great so it's awesome to witness an improvement.  Images via WWE.com   Leon Ruff vs Isiah Swerve Scott In A Falls Count Anywhere Match.  Leon took a nasty looking knee strike from Swerve Scott minutes into the match.   Swerve Scott delivered his finisher using the barricade and it isn't a surprise when I tell you that it was executed perfectly. Thanks to the debuting AJ Francis, Isiah Swerve Scott nailed his finisher to pick up the victory.  This opening encounter gave me Takeover vibes. In other words, the match was f**kin...

WWE Smackdown 20/5/22 | A Coherent Review.

Regarding the whole Naomi and Sasha Banks situation, WWE has (on top of saying that Banks and Naomi have disappointed the fans to which I say, "FACK OFF, WILL YA?!") relinquished the women's tag belts and they're going to have a tournament to which I say, "WHAT F**KING TEAMS!?" WWE has more women's tag teams than Arsenal has champions league titles.  As far as how I feel about the show, it was really mediocre, to say the least.   Roman Reigns Hypes Up The Usos In Purse Of The Tag Title Unification Match.  I'm just going to describe the main event match since it was pretty darn short. The Usos did just defeat RKBRO to win the red belts which led to a beatdown from the Bloodline to RKBRO.  While the 6 man match at Backlash was, dare I say, a match of the year candidate, this one was just too uneventful due to the sudden end of an okay match that could've been MUCH better.  Shinsuke Nakamura vs Sami Zayn.  I once remember that they had a match of th...

WWE RAW 3/12/18 | My Coherent Review

It's December everyone and RAW is still awful. Now usually on my reviews, I tell you what's good, what's okay and what's bad. For the first time since I started reviewing Monday Night RAW back in June, I'm going to put every segment and every match on what's bad for obvious reasons. Here we go.  WHAT'S BAD   The opening match of the night The purpose of an opening match is to build excitement for the rest of the show but this did the opposite. I appreciate WWE for going straight to a match instead of a boring, generic and downright formulaic (in a bad way) opening segment but the execution was pretty bad.  This was supposed to be a tag match between Ronda and Natalya vs Nia Jax and Tamina but instead, the Riott Squad came out and they put Natalya through a table on the outside.  Sasha Banks and Bayley vs Mickie James and Alicia Fox What can I say? This was a skippable match. Mickie was going for her DDT finish but ins...
