WWE Smackdown 1/4/22 | A Coherent Review

We're just hours before Wrestlemania aka the show that I had the same amount of anticipation as the new Morbius movie. 

How did the blue brand pull off this week? Well, more people on my Twitter timeline (@omartheplayaguy press z follow me) were talking about Samoa Joe's return at ROH's latest PPV than this episode so that should tell you everything. 

Andre The Giant Memorial Battle Royal. 

For the second time in a row, the battle royal happened on an episode of Smackdown and not on the pre-show, which I'm happy about because the last thing I wanna see is watching a meaningless match at 5 am in the morning. Anything that saves time is an automatic positive in my book. 

Midcap Moss won the entire thing. I don't even remember who won last year's match so I'll probably forget about it in a day or so. 

Speaking of which, later in the show, Drew McIntyre showed up during the Happy Corbin talk show segment and proceeded to destroy everything on sight using his sword. 

Coooooooool. 

Ricochet vs Angel vs Humberto For The Intercontinental Championship. 

A solid match for what it was. The finish though was fantastic. Ricochet delivered the 630 to Angel followed by the recoil to Humberto for the victory. 

Sasha Banks And Naomi vs Queen Zelina Vega And Carmella. 

Aka a match that was originally planned for Wrestlemania. Seeing Liv Morgan and Rhea Ripley on the outside, you know where this leads but to my surprise, no such brawl occurred. 

Two former members of team BAD defeated the tag champs with a quick moonsault to Vega. 

Rick Boogs vs Jimmy Uso. 

This was aight. Austin Theory's shenanigans on to Pat McAfee (that had Finn Balor eventually hit Austin *Michael Cole's voice*from behind) is what led to this match ending via a DQ. 

And you know what happened after that? An impromptu 6 man tag team match, Playas. Nothing screams WWE's writing quite like this. 

The bad guys won the bout with the Ataxia to Finnie Baylord. 

Austin Theory pinned both the intercontinental champion and the United States champion. Yea, not good if you want to build a healthy midcard act.  

Charlotte Flair Was Like, "Ronda, You Think You Can Rip My Arm Off!? Well, That's F**king Bullsh*t M8 Because I'll Destroy You Like Every Critic Review Of Morbius!" 

After those words were uttered, don't you think she has a better chance of retaining the title because that headline certainly convinced ya boy. I mean come on, it's not that she's never said the word "mate", am I right!? 

So, to recap for all of you slow mofos. 

Like: Ricochet vs Angel vs Humberto and the ending. 

Didn't like: the US champion taking Ls like the IC champ on RAW.

The 5 News Week: Florida Men In Government Talks About The Relationship Between WWE And The State.

Hello, my fellow wrestling fans and welcome to the 5 news week. The post where I report 5 .major or minor news of the week that I don't have time to do it separately. Without further ado, here are the 5 news week. Tony Khan Wrote All Recent Episodes Of Dynamite All By Himself?  I've talked about Tony's other position as a writer for AEW on the February 16th edition of this very series and it's always interesting to read the stories involving the creative process of AEW television.  AEW's Dynamite show had recently aired its last set of filming and for the most part, they were fantastic and it's all thanks to one man, Vince Russo * stutters * I mean, Tony Khan.  From PWInsider and Mikey Johnson , The owner of AEW wrote all of the Dynamite scripts that were eventually taped in Georgia after he realized that the show was going to have a small crew because of the shut down across the country of US of A. The American nightmare himself, Cody has als...

WWE RAW 13/7/20 | A Coherent Review.

I didn't like this show. Thankfully, this episode didn't pull a Smackdown but because of how well last week's show went, I felt really underwhelmed watching that.   MVP Lounge. Special Guest, Dolph Ziggler.  Montel Von Porter welcomed his guest that shares a common hatred for Drew McIntyre and that guest is, of course, Dolph Ziggler.  Ziggler compliments the new United States championship design to which MVP let him know that he'll talk to his people and get a new WWE championship design once the show-off, wins the championship (and honestly, Ziggler's got a point, the WWE Title needs a new design).  Dolph further tells MVP that he's the reason why Drew defeated Brock Lesnar at Wrestlemania for the WWE title.  Out came the Scotsmen himself and he basically said that he'll beat the crap out of him and Dolph got a bit of that with a punch. An enjoyable segment.  The thing I kind of appreciate about this feud is that Dolph...

WWE RAW 2/9/19 | My Coherent Review.

The second week in a row where RAW is a good show overall and here's why.  Seth Rollins vs Braun Strowman For The Universal Championship Contract Signing.  Seth Rollins and Braun Strowman came out to the ring at different times to make one of their championships matches official and they brought up reasons as to why they're going to win the championship of the universe you know like most contract signings.  Out came The O.C and AJ Styles became a typical wrestling fan for a moment by cutting a promo about how Rollins and Strowman didn't deserve their title opportunities. The O.C ignored Micheal Cole's saying of Rollins and Strowman having a contract signing and they had a brawl which led to a tag team match.  For an opening segment, this was weeeeeeeeeeak. I mean NXT's openings is not revolutionary but at least it's decent. That didn't do its job to build off this match not gonna lie.  The O.C vs Seth Rollins And Braun Strowman.  Afte...
