WWE Smackdown 6/5/22 | A Coherent Review

 Yes, Wrestlemania Backlash is tomorrow and I couldn't care less about the show besides two guys battling out on who has the better suit game, Cody or Seth? 

And the episode reflected that in my humble opinion. 

A Ronda Rousey And Charlotte Flair Brawl. 

Headline once again doing God's work right now. I mean, at least Charlotte didn't do the typical heel thing and ran away from a fight, right? 

Shayna Baszler vs Sasha Banks. 

In my opinion, a Wrestlemania worthy match had Shayna Baszler been booked better on TV. 

After Sasha Banks defeated Shayna Baszler, Baszler and Nattie unsuccessfully attempted a beatdown on Banks and Naomi since the tag champs retaliated quickly with a double eat defeat to Natalya. Coolinos. 

Midcap Moss' Sad Attempt At Stand Up Comedy, You Know, Like Dave Chappelle. 

BOOM. GOT EM.

Gunther vs Drew Gulak. 

The "USA" chants aka the only time Drew Gulak actually got over accidentally. Slim fit Gunther wins with a powerbomb. 

Sheamus And Ridge Holland vs The New Day In A Tables Match. 

This match had no right to be this darn good because that slapped. Thanks to the mad oi bruf, Butch, Sheamus and Ridge Holland put Xavier Woods (a King Of The Ring winner, by the way) through a table. 


Speaking of "USA! USA!", Lacey Evans talks about her origins as a performer for the 5th week in a row. Unlike the previous weeks, she actually showed up in the area. Nothing screams USA quite like Evans' fit. 

Shinsuke Nakamura vs Sami Zayn. 

A 2016 match of the year now facing on a random episode of Smackdown starring a guy that acts like Randall Weems from Recess. And it ended with a count-out victory for Sami Zayn. Noice! 

The Bloodline, Drew McIntyre And RKBRO Came Face To Face.

The show started with a brawl and it ended with a brawl. WWE definitely took some notes from AEW. 

So, to recap for all of you slow mofos. 

Like: Sheamus and Ridge Holland vs The New Day in a tables match. 

Didn't like: At least I didn't pull a "bearded white guy ranting about WWE that'll definitely have blood pressure in a few years" (Oh and Midcap Moss sucks as a comedian).

WWE Smackdown Live 10/7/18 | My Coherent Review.

Smackdown live was a bad show that did nothing as a wrestling fan to gain any excitement for extreme rules. Why you ask? Well i'm gonna give you what's good. No scratch that, i'm gonna give you what's ok and what's bad. Here we go. WHAT'S OK The opening segment and the brawl after that The opening segment was meh. And the brawl after that was fine. Didn't make me go "OHHHHHHHHHHH" or anything like along those lines. That brawl leads to a TEN MAN TAG TEAM match (Ummmmmm no shit omar). I will say this, the segment kinda teased the fact that maybe kane will turn on his best friend? I don't know. Should be interesting.  Andrade "cien" almas vs Sin cara The match was surprisingly decent. At one point andrade delivered a devastating stomp to sin cara on the ring apron. Andrade wins with a running knee to sin cara on the middle rope. Hoping andrade can move on to bigger and better things.  WHAT'S BAD ...

Should Dave Meltzer Get Rid Of His Rating System?

So a few weeks ago, good old Dave Meltzer of the wrestling observer newsletter gave the Kazuchika Okada vs Kenny omega match at dominion 2018 a 7-star rating. According to the interent wrestling database , this match is by far his HIGHEST match rating ever (i don't blame him because the match was amazing). So statistically, this is his favourite match of all time . Now, why I'm writing this now?  Well, his best match ratings have been a consistent 5 stars since 1983 with the exception of all the Omega vs Okada matches and the Mitsuharu Misawa vs Toshiaki Kawada match at AJPW's Budokan hall show in June of 1994.  There are fans that take his match ratings as an offence somehow like "Why he rates X match better than Y match?" or thinks that he "hates" WWE which is ridiculous considering that he gave three WWE matches a 5 star ratings just this past year. One was the ladder match to crown the first ever NXT North American champion, the Johnny Garga...

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...
