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).

My Coherent Wrestling Wednesdays: A Broserweight Road Trip To Portland, Britt Baker Addresses Her Attack On Yuka Sakazaki Last Week.

While this was a typical night for AEW, NXT, however, had a go-home show to deliver just days before the next anticipated Takeover show in Portland, Oregon.  But, NXT's final show before the second Takeover of 2020 didn't bring it, unfortunately, in terms of quality as the 20th episode of AEW Dynamite was the better show this week even though AEW Dynamite is a hit or miss program.  NXT    Highlights.  Roderick Strong vs Bronson Reed. Before the match, a pissed off Roderick Strong demanded an apology from the Velveteen Dream given that Dream put his wife and child's face on his trucks.  By the way, Bronson Reed's theme song is killer and so is this match. A slow, technical, old-school type of match that wouldn't fit the big man on paper but the execution was a different story.  The lights turned purple and Reed hits the suicide dive but he missed a Samoan splash that led to a knee strike from Strong and wins the match.  Then,...

Top 3 BEST Distraction Finishes EVER!

Distraction endings to a wrestling match in WWE depend on one another if you think about it. It's like the peanut butter and jelly or the chicken and the basmati biryani rice or Dan Lambert and sexism.  "Why top 3", you may ask? Because one, I'm different and two, well, I'm different, so be gone to the mofos that think it's shorter than Brock Lesnar's bout with Kofi Kingston.  (WARNING: This piece is mostly sarcasm).  Daniel Bryan vs Sheamus. Wrestlemania 28.  I know this made your eyebrows raise as high as Rocky Maivia but think about this. The kiss from AJ Lee that led to a brogue kick from Sheamus, has in some way, led to the general audience seeing how Daniel Bryan should be WAY higher in the overall arc than where he was at that time.  Also, this was also the year where Bryan showed off his comedic chops with his "NO" catchphrase and his tag team run with the big red conservative, Kane.  If anything, this distraction finish was a great chara...

Roman Reigns Relinquishes The Universal Title Because He Has Leukemia.

I have a sad and unfortunate news to break. Two hours ago on RAW, Roman cut a great promo pretty much stating that he's been living with leukemia for over 11 years and the disease's return forced him to give up the universal championship. The segment ended with both shield members Dean Ambrose and Seth Rollins gave a group hug to Roman and did the triple shield fist pump. Ever since that, fellow WWE superstars reacted to the news on Twitter and here are the tweets so far. An amazing human being, an incredible performer & a man I’m proud to be friends with. My thoughts & prayers are with you & your family. Get well soon, champ! #ThankYouRoman https://t.co/jL1Q5dVvzs — #WOKEN, yet #BROKEN, Matt Hardy (@MATTHARDYBRAND) October 23, 2018 My heart right now ....
