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 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 t...

The Coherent Wrestling Wednesdays: Fyter Fest 2020 Came Back Swinging?

Last week, on this very series, I said that I enjoyed Great American Bash better than Fyter Fest.  Well, this week is the exact opposite. AEW came in swinging with night 2 Fyter Fest.  I've not liked a Dynamite episode in several weeks so it's nice to see that the show finally executed a great show since God knows how long.   NXT      Highlights (at least in my opinion because wrestling is subjective).  Mia Yim vs Candice LeRae In A Street Fight. The match went underway after Yim quickly attacked Candice LeRae during LeRae's entrance.  In the crowd area, Candice tried to nail the suplex on the table but Yim got out of that position and kicked her to which she landed through the table.  The Streetfight concluded with LeRae striking Yim with the brass knuckles followed by a swinging neck from the top of the table onto a bunch of chairs and that's how LeRae defeats the HBIC.  A fun opening match even though...

WWE Smackdown Season Premiere | A Coherent Review.

  It is the season premiere of Friday night Smackdown even though WWE doesn't have an offseason.  Nevertheless, it was a decent program and had a WAY better ending than whatever the hell of an ending last year's premiere of Friday night Smackdown showed.  There isn't a women's match this week and all of the AEW fanboys are looking at this like, "sEe, WWE dOeSn't feATuRe wOmeN'S mAtChEs aLsO."  pictures via WWE.com The Season Premiere Of Smackdown 2020.  The show started off with Triple H and Stephanie McMahon highlighting the scheduled matches for Smackdown as well as the superstars.  Chaos then ensued thanks to a huge brawl. Then, the "super freak" Lars Sullivan came out and delivered the freak accident to Shorty G.  Somehow, Jeff Hardy attacked him and that led to the opening match of the night between Lars and Jeff.  You know, I'm kind of surprised that two white people in McMahon and Hemsley knew who Rick James is.  Maybe I'm igno...
