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.

THE Coherent AEW Take: I Ain't Tellin' You No Lie, The Hook Brings You Back

PAGE AND BRYAN! HOOK! HOOK! HOOK! PAGE AND BRYAN! HOOK! HOOK! HOOK!  That's it. That's the intro.  Rampage.   Highlights.  HOOOOOOOOK!  I mean, I gotta support the man himself named Hook, DUHHH!  What can I say, I like a man that is built different, quick, agile and hard……..in professional wrestling, of course.  Suffice to say, Hook does something that Kalya Braxton doesn't and that is, making all biracials proud.  FTR vs Lucha Brothers for the AEW world tag team championship Two of the best tag teams I've ever witnessed as a wrestling fan (yes, they're THAT darn good) battling it out in an opening match so banging, not even your Beats headphone can replicate it, ya feel me?  The Lucha Brothers get to walk out of this episode of Rampage still as the reigning world tag champs.  Some Other Things That Happened.  Adam Cole defeated Wheeler Yuta - Adam Cole appreciation comment.  Dynamite.  Highlights.  Hangman Page...

Escape The Undertaker | A Short Coherent Review.

The internet. The only place where your YouTube recommended is filled with "I DON'T EVEN KNOW THAT'S PG".  It is also home to Netflix which released an interactive movie produced by future Raspberry award-winning movie studio, WWE films. Look, the idea of 3 black dudes being trapped inside a house by a white conservative dead hog, is offensive and by that description alone, you weren't sure for a sec whether you were watching Netflix or the Daily Wire.  Luckily, there wasn't a cameo from Tessa Blanchard so you should be fine.  As a fan of Mass Effect 2, I love some dialogue trees that alter the events of a movie/game.  And, from a functionality standpoint, it is a technical marvel how it gives the audience the illusion of choice (you know, like our current economic system).  I say "illusion" because therein lies the main problem I have with the film. Your choices don't matter here. Even in a WWE movie, they're still trying to avoid the fan...

WWE Smackdown Live 11/9/18 | My Coherent Review.

Smackdown live was overall a good show. Why you ask? Well, I'm gonna tell you what's good, what's ok and what's bad. Here we go.  WHAT'S GOOD Jeff Hardy vs Shinsuke Nakamura The promo before this was okay however that was a goooood match. Better than their in counter at SummerSlam. Jeff was about to beat Nakamura, however, randy outta nowhere pushes hardy on the outside hence Nakamura retains the championship and Jeff wins via DQ. They had a brawl that was better than the brawl last night on RAW I'll tell you that much.  Samoa Joe telling a bedtime story in a good not boring way.   I thought from the editing to the design of the book to the way Samoa Joe express the story was fantastic. The thing I LOVE about this is that it's a outside in the box type of promo package that worked. Man, I can't wait for this match. On Sunday night when the PPV airs, I think I'm gonna call my local "WENDYYYS" (My goodness that was awfu...
