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.

THE Coherent AEW Take: I Ain't Tellin' You No Lie, The Hook Brings You Back

PAGE AND BRYAN! HOOK! HOOK! HOOK! PAGE AND BRYAN! HOOK! HOOK! HOOK!  That's it. That's the intro.  Rampage.   Highlights.  HOOOOOOOOK!  I mean, I gotta support the man himself named Hook, DUHHH!  What can I say, I like a man that is built different, quick, agile and hard……..in professional wrestling, of course.  Suffice to say, Hook does something that Kalya Braxton doesn't and that is, making all biracials proud.  FTR vs Lucha Brothers for the AEW world tag team championship Two of the best tag teams I've ever witnessed as a wrestling fan (yes, they're THAT darn good) battling it out in an opening match so banging, not even your Beats headphone can replicate it, ya feel me?  The Lucha Brothers get to walk out of this episode of Rampage still as the reigning world tag champs.  Some Other Things That Happened.  Adam Cole defeated Wheeler Yuta - Adam Cole appreciation comment.  Dynamite.  Highlights.  Hangman Page...

Escape The Undertaker | A Short Coherent Review.

The internet. The only place where your YouTube recommended is filled with "I DON'T EVEN KNOW THAT'S PG".  It is also home to Netflix which released an interactive movie produced by future Raspberry award-winning movie studio, WWE films. Look, the idea of 3 black dudes being trapped inside a house by a white conservative dead hog, is offensive and by that description alone, you weren't sure for a sec whether you were watching Netflix or the Daily Wire.  Luckily, there wasn't a cameo from Tessa Blanchard so you should be fine.  As a fan of Mass Effect 2, I love some dialogue trees that alter the events of a movie/game.  And, from a functionality standpoint, it is a technical marvel how it gives the audience the illusion of choice (you know, like our current economic system).  I say "illusion" because therein lies the main problem I have with the film. Your choices don't matter here. Even in a WWE movie, they're still trying to avoid the fan...

WWE Smackdown Live 11/9/18 | My Coherent Review.

Smackdown live was overall a good show. Why you ask? Well, I'm gonna tell you what's good, what's ok and what's bad. Here we go.  WHAT'S GOOD Jeff Hardy vs Shinsuke Nakamura The promo before this was okay however that was a goooood match. Better than their in counter at SummerSlam. Jeff was about to beat Nakamura, however, randy outta nowhere pushes hardy on the outside hence Nakamura retains the championship and Jeff wins via DQ. They had a brawl that was better than the brawl last night on RAW I'll tell you that much.  Samoa Joe telling a bedtime story in a good not boring way.   I thought from the editing to the design of the book to the way Samoa Joe express the story was fantastic. The thing I LOVE about this is that it's a outside in the box type of promo package that worked. Man, I can't wait for this match. On Sunday night when the PPV airs, I think I'm gonna call my local "WENDYYYS" (My goodness that was awfu...
