WWE Smackdown 27/5/22 | A Coherent Review.

 Yes, people. Hell In A Cell is next Sunday (or Monday morning in my case) and this has been the least memorable build of a PPV I've ever covered. 

The question is, was this episode of Smackdown also the least memorable? I mean, yea. 

Shinsuke Nakamura And Riddle Go Against The Usos. 

Yea, the two guys that lost their tag partners due to injury are challenging The Usos for the unified tag belts and based on the brawl, it looks like Riddle and Nakamura will be facing The Usos which I don't mind. I mean, I did, unfortunately, see someone f**k a corpse.  

Ronda Rousey vs Raquel Rodriguez.

The match ended via a DQ due to Shayna Baszler and Natalya's attack on both competitors which led to a tag team match. 

Ah. The classic "singles match turned into a tag match". And guess who won? Rousey and Rodriguez. You know what that means? 

You're probably going to see the match between Raquel Rodriguez and Rona Rousey again and again and again (sprinkle in a heel turn from Rodriguez) to the point where you're gonna get sick of seeing them wrestle again.  

WWE loves taking an interesting concept and beating it to the ground. 

Jinder Mahal And Shanky vs Los Lotharios. 

Despite Shanky's kick to Angel after one-half of Los Lotharios gyrated to the ring announcer, Shanky's team lost the match with a springboard kick from Humberto to Jinder Mahal. 

After the match, Shanky told the modern-day maharajah to talk to the hand Maryse style. 

Who would've thought that with all of the theme song changes, Jinder has the best theme song in all of WWE? 


Max Dupri aka LA Knight aka Eli Drake is officially on Smackdown as per Adam Pearce. Damn, looking at this model recruiting gimmick, I'm sure Tyler Breeze is missing out. 

Sami Zayn And Kevin Owens Go Back And Forth On Who's A Moron And A Liar. 

What is this? A wrestling segment or every single interaction on Reddit? 

Ricochet And Drew Gulak vs Gunther And Ludwig Kaiser.

The babyface lost with a kick to Gulak's chest by Kaiser. 

Two years ago at Elimination Chamber, I remembered that Gulak had a fantastic match with Daniel Bryan. 

Now, he's eating pins like a good shake shack burger. 

The New Day And Drew McIntyre vs The Brawling Brutes In Sheamus, Butch And Ridge Holland.

You know this show has been really dry when The New Day's feud with Butch, Sheamus and Holland are main eventing an episode of WWE's other flagship show. 

Drew led The New Day to victory thanks to a claymore kick followed by an elbow drop from Xavier Woods to the big OI bruf. Meh. 

So, to recap for all of you slow mofos. 

Like: Because the show's dryer than Ashy Larry from the Chappelle Show, there's nothing about the episode I genuinely liked. 

Didn't like: The classic cliches are running wild, a reminder that Drew Gulak (A fantastic wrestler) is underutilized.

WWE RAW 28/12/20 | A Bit Late Coherent Review.

Before I start this review, I wanna say rest in peace to Jon Huber better known as the person behind the character of Luke Harper and Brodie Lee.  It was a tough, painful 3 days for the pro wrestling industry and I certainly felt that.  If there's one thing I've learned from the number of great stories being told by the people he has worked with is that Jon is a charming, funny and overall a fantastic human being that loves his family.  After reading the countless amount of fantastic tribute posts (including from the likes of Molly Belle of Wrestle Inn and Andrew Thompson of Post Wrestling ), that bit about Jon as a family man made me think of my current relationship with my father and the ways I'm trying to improve from my standpoint.  I know this is a cheese pizza saying but tell the people you cared about that you love 'em because that line might make their day.  So. Thank you, Jon Huber, for being the light that brightens everybody's darkness.  Now, Ho...

WWE Smackdown Live 30/10/18 | My Coherent Review.

Smackdown Live yesterday was a skippable show other than the opening segment and match in my opinion. Now usually on my RAW/Smackdown Live review, I break down what's good, what's ok and what's bad. For the first time, I'm only gonna tell you what's ok given that this show was again a skippable show and here we go.  WHAT'S OK The opening segment  This is the probably one of if not most noteworthy moment this week mainly because as you might know, there were reports going around that John Cena and Daniel Bryan were out of Crown Jewel and the reports are indeed true and it makes sense, especially for John Cena considering that he's an actor now and he needs to maintain his PR status. The segment itself was decent. Loved both guys' intensity and that segment leads to a WWE championship match and speaking of which............. Daniel Bryan vs AJ Styles  Decent match. Expected a better from these two but again, decent nevertheless but...

WWE Smackdown 24/4/20 | A Coherent Review.

This week's Smackdown show was decent but it wasn't as strong as the previous weeks and *hits his head a few times* here's why.  The New Day Celebrates Their Title Victory. The show kicked off with the now 8th time WWE tag team champions, The New Day and like the title above, they were celebrating their big title win last week (No sh*t, Omar).  During the segment, Kofi mentioned that there's nothing wrong with pointing out that they have more title reigns than The Hart Foundation, Edge and Christian, Demolition, The New Age Outlaws etc because it's them being proud of their accomplishments.  Out came Lucha House Party, The Miz and John Morrison and they pretty much said that they deserve a title shot. The Forgotten Sons showed up to tell The New Day, Lucha House Party and every other tag team watching that they will never be forgotten.  They lived up to that statement as the Forgotten Sons destroyed Lucha House Party and The New Day.  ...
