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.

WWE Smackdown Live 19/2/19 | My Coherent Review.

This show was overall, a skippable show just like RAW yesterday and here's why.  Opening segment.  The show kicked off with Shane McMahon with his usual cheap pop. After that, Shane McMahon announced that Aleister Black, Johnny Gargano, Ricochet and Tommaso Ciampa will be on SmackDown Live just like RAW last night (click here to read my RAW review).  Out came The Miz and he said that he hasn't stop thinking about their match at Elimination Chamber. Miz also said he admitted that he used Shane because Miz wanted to make Shane McMahon understand where's Miz's coming from.  Miz then wanted a rematch between him, Shane McMahon and the Usos for the SmackDown Live tag team championship to which the Usos came out and insulted The Miz.  That led to Shane McMahon saying that the rematch is on but at Fastlane in two weeks. So we got the first official match scheduled for Fastlane and considering that Shane is a McMahon and has all the Authority, I do...

The 5 News Week: An Interview With MLW's Myron Reed, Quick Thoughts On Smackdown.

A rare Saturday edition of 5 news week but if you're new here, I publish this weekly news article every Sunday and the format goes like this.  I report on 5 major or minor news of the week that I don't have time to do it separately and I put them in one post.  Yes, there was a lot of news that dropped in a single day but since I'm posting this on Saturday morning, the 4 news this week is before Friday.  Without further ado, here are the 5 news week.

The Obsession With Ratings. Warranted Or Not?

(Just a bit of a heads-up, this article contains a lot of the word "ratings").  Rating. Rating. Rating. It is a word that you see or hear many times throughout your wrestling fandom but why is that?  Well, it's interesting to see how your weekly consumption does by the numbers every week.  However, that conversation can turn the other way.  The toxic, " logic-filled" , gatekeeping way that is (you see why I muted the word "rating" on Twitter?).  Fans have been talking about TV ratings for years but that discussion has skyrocketed once AEW Dynamite and NXT airs on the same night every week ya know because wrestling fans am I right?  Before I answer the question of whether the obsession with TV ratings is warranted or not, I'll first have to briefly describe the Nielsen rating (which is an American TV rating system. No sh*t, Omar).  A Summary Of The History Of The Nielsen Ratings.  The Nielsen rating system was introduced...
