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

A beat the clock challenge was announced for next week's show involving Ronda Rousey and Charlotte Flair which only means one thing.

Wishing that I have a beat the clock challenge to check how long I can last watching mediocre television programming like this.

Ronda Rousey And Charlotte Flair's Contract Signing Ended In Chaos Because Of Course, It Did.

Headline's been spitting facts as of late. Also, my man Drew Gulak has been a punching bag for this feud and I feel sorry for the guy. A dude as talented as him deserves so much better.

Xavier Woods vs Butch.

A match so predictable, my autocorrect filled in the "Xavier Woods vs Butch" headline.

After the former Dune lost to Woods once again, he went ed unhinged as he took out a bunch of security guards. I mean, I would too if I was called Butch every week.

Ricochet got his challenge for his IC title. The same title that hasn't been defended on PPV since last year's WrestleMania.

That challenge is facing Shanky. F**king great! Absolute brilliant stuff.

Gunther vs Teddy Goodz.

Another week, another one-sided win for the Austrian destroyer in Gunther. Nothing too noteworthy happened here obviously.

Riddle wanted to "ease the tension" between Drew McIntyre and Randal Keith given the previous history (which was water under the bridge for them).

Meanwhile, someone I haven't seen in almost several months, Xia Li said that she'll protect herself now. And that took you THAT LONG to make that decision?

Riddle vs Jey Uso.

A decent match is all I'll say. Riddle won with the most devastating move in wrestling today, the roll-up after reversing the Uso splash.

Natalya And Shayna Baszler Wanted The Tag Titles That Are As Worthy As The 24/7 Championship.

Headline once again spitting facts.

Madcap Moss declined the offer to reunite with the not so Happy Corbin.

I'm not sure how I feel about Moss' laugh since it reminds me of some guy named Tucker that works for the most-watched news program in the US.

Moss did have a match with Angel Garza and after his victory, he took a fat beating from Corbin to which Corbin took Madcap's Andre The Giant trophy. Al Cool Bin Tamam.

After Sami Zayn basically snitched (or lied depending on your interpretation) on Roman Reigns regarding what Drew McIntyre said about the tribal chief, Lacey Evans had yet another promo segment talking about her childhood struggles and how she overcame them.

Not gonna lie, those white woman tears almost got me but I remember my lesson on how to deactivate my raccoon chip.

Sami Zayn Ran From Drew McIntyre During Their Lumberjack Match.

That didn't work for the guy as he's going to face McIntyre in a salad steel cage (which was already taped since next week's show isn't live).

You don't need spoilers to know how that cage match ended.

So, to recap for all of you slow mofos.

Like: I guess I like seeing Drew McIntyre more ways than one?

Didn't like: Wished I overslept to not witness this episode.

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 RAW Reunion Show | My Coherent Review.

I really enjoyed this episode of Monday Night RAW but it's also sad that WWE can't deliver a good show without the help of the legends. Not that they haven't delivered a good show with the current roster but take the legends out, the show was pretty much skippable but I understood why it was considering that it's really hard to put current storylines in a reunion themed show. If you wanna get nostalgic for almost 3 hours then this show is for you but if you want storyline progression then this ain't it. Opening segment. The show kicked off with John Cena and it feels weirdly nostalgic when his music hits. John said that he's so excited to be here because so many legends of the past are showing up and also joked about how the fans are finally nice to him. The Usos came out and they wanted the Doctor Of Thugnamocis. They got their wish and Cena did a rap about their arrest. The Usos brought up their father in Rikishi with Grand...

Jim Cornette's Opinion On WWE's Deal With FOX.

Jim Cornette recently appeared on Talk Is Jericho about the state of wrestling ( Click here to listen and download the whole thing, it's really good) and talked about a number of topics but the interesting thing about this discussion is his opinion on WWE's deal with FOX. Here's what he had to say (shout out to WrestleZone for the transcript): " Vince just got $2 billion for a TV deal. People are looking at All In, the resurgence of New Japan, and all that, but that’s going to be the most important thing. Now people with platforms are interested in wrestling again. There’s a lot of money in wrestling again. For a while ratings were meh, and they still are, but at the same point $2 billion, how can you argue with that? In 2011, when Sinclair Broadcasting bought Ring of Honor it instantly became the second most watched television program because it was on 60 local stations. That was still a wide gap from WWE, and IMPACT has gone in the other direction becaus...
