WWE Smackdown After Wrestlemania 38 | A Coherent Review

 Smackdown after Wrestlemania 38 was really, really, really skippable. Nothing noteworthy happened which unfortunately is the standard of all Smackdown after Wrestlemania episodes. 

Ronda Wanted A Rematch For The Blue Women's Belt In An I Quit Match At The Backlash Of Wrestlemania. 

Headline once again doing the lord's work by describing the entire segment. If you've watched Wrestlemania then this isn't surprising given how the match ended. 

Also, a black woman making a Susan tap out? I'm all for it. 

Xavier Woods vs Butch. 

Remember when Xavier Woods was once called "King Woods" because he won The King Of The Ring tournament? No? Well, so did WWE apparently. 

Nevertheless, the match was prettay good. After the Butcha bruf lost to Woods via an inside cradle, he decided to have a bit of a scuffle with Ridge Holland and Sheamus. 

Maybe this is the way to bring back the Peter Dune we know and love? Highly doubt that but I'm praying to Allah that it happens though. 

Gunther Destroys A Local Competitor. 

Local competitor aka a nice way to call someone a jobber. By the way, that theme song of his? Get rid of it because just like Arby's, it's f**king trash. The OG was way better like why the sudden change?  Speaking of change, Marcel Barthel is now Ludwig Kaiser named after that Youtube Guy. At least Gunther won the match, right? 

Happy Corbin Was Like, "Bro, you're just like Dolph Ziggler in that you're mid af". 

Corbin took his frustrations on Madcap Moss but failed as he was thrown out of the ring by the man himself. 

Midcap Moss no more? For real though, how long do you think that WWE would pull out an Alex Riley on Moss? My answer is not for long. 

Lacey Evans Is Back With An Origin Story About Her Life. 

I missed when she dressed as her grandmother and pretended to be someone in a time that white people would like to bring back. 

Sasha Banks vs Liv Morgan. 

The match itself was aight. Liv Morgan won the match with the most protective move in pro wrestling today, the roll-up. 

Drew McIntyre vs Sami Zayn. 

The Scotsman won the match via a count-out due to Zayn running all the way to the crowd area. Can they skip to the part where McIntyre faces Roman Reigns for the blue belt? I'll like that. 


And speaking of the tribal chief, the show ended with him telling his cousins in The Usos to bring the RAW tag team championship into the bloodline. Out came Shinsuke Nakamura and he was later attacked by The Usos after Roman Reigns "sympathized with his pain" of losing his tag team partner via an injury. 

It looks like Nakamura could be Roman's next feud and I'm all for it, honestly. It's about time that Shinsuke is elevated into the star that he should be. 

Other than that, the segment was, like the entire episode, pretty forgettable and skippable. 

So, to recap for all of you slow mofos. 

Like: Xavier Woods vs Butch. 

Didn't like: The entire show was a good old waste of time.

WrestleFest DXB's Fahrenheit 971 | A Coherent W.

  Being a fan of pro wrestling (or any other medium of entertainment) does have its pros and cons when engaging with the industry as a whole.  On one hand, you've witnessed an Eddie Kingston promo that'll make you tear up more than the opening scene of Up.  On the other hand, going to the wrestling subreddit will definitely have you questioning humanity as a whole and the fact that living in an area where a wrestling presence pretty much doesn't exist like a Vince Russo-written storyline that is, you know, GOOD!?  Luckily, the latter retracted my con as a fan because I'm talking about Wrestlefest DXB and their latest joint, "971 Fahrenheit".  Martin Bushby of now Post Wrestling Alumni brought the event to my attention because like a wrestler on an episode of RAW I get distracted all the time.  So, I decided to take a short journey to a taxi then a bus then a train then a 30-minute walk to the show itself and I know I'm going to sound biased as f**k but I l...

Let's Talk About The White Rabbit In The Room.

I haven't reviewed last year's show mainly because it was so good and clearly as extreme as any ECW match and I'm happy to tell all 3 of y'all that this one is better by several inches or so. Why? *slaps my bald head* HERE'S WHY. The opening match between Sheamus and Gunther's crew ruled harder than the Mongolian empire.  It was basically an enhanced version of Sheamus' match with Gunther last night on Smackdown and I loved it.  The Brawling Brutes' victory means one thing that is clearly obvious, a rematch between Sheamus and Gunther for the intercontinental championship aka the only series of rematches I don't mind.  Ronda Rousey and Liv Morgan delivered in what was a wrestling match equivalent to the X-Men Dark Phoenix movie.  While Bianca Belair and Bayley had their equivalent to the first Iron Man movie in that it was decent.  Drew McIntyre and Karrion Kross had an okay edition of the "Meaty men slapping meat".  That spear from Edge to...

A Few Thoughts On RAW And Smackdown: RAW wasn't GREAT!?

  Since this blog will be less of a priority now considering I'm focusing on my podcast now (hit the 5 stars on Apple Podcast you sons of b*tches), I decided to share my few thoughts on RAW, Smackdown, I guess?  Smackdown.  The blue brand delivered yet another good episode this week and it's probably due to the fact that Braun Strowman taking out the Maximum Model is high-key funny as f**k.  The folks over at Titan Towers are bringing back the essence of their characters whether it's Kevin Owens, Shayna Baszler or in this case, Big Braun himself.   As a fan, you gotta love it, especially since in the case of Strowman, the dude hasn't been the same since he turned heel 4 years ago when feuding with Roman Reigns for the universal title.   Other noteworthy segments include Logan Paul challenging Roman Reigns for the big world universal multiverse galactic cinematic championship.  Imagine they pulled that match off 7 years ago back when Logan was on V...
