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 Extreme Rules 2019 | My Coherent Review.

Man, I'm impressed with WWE in terms of PPVs as of late because overall, this was a fantastic show in my opinion with great matches but the crowd was dead for most of the show so that sucks.  I finally watched the pre-show match between Finn Balor and Shinsuke Nakamura before I went to bed because the show aired at 2 am where I live and it was okay.  By the way, how interesting is it when on last year’s Extreme Rules show, Shinsuke Nakamura won the United States championship and now this year’s show, he won the intercontinental title. Also, it's funny that the intercontinental championship was the main event on last's year show and on this year's Extreme Rules PPV, it's on the preshow.  Shane McMahon and Drew McIntyre vs Roman Reigns and The Undertaker.  Mike Rome did better in announcing "The Best In the world" this time than on RAW. Mike Rome's announcement a few weeks ago sounded like that one friend that thinks he/she knows how to ...

NXT Takeover: In Your House 2020 | A Coherent Review.

NXT Takeover: In Your House is like the rest of the Takeover shows, a fantastic 2 hours of professional wrestling.  What makes this show special is the additional nostalgia like how the show started with the NXT WWF inspired intro, the ice cream commercial narrated by William Regal doing his best Lord Alferd Hayes impression, icopro commercial and last but not least, Todd Pettengill.  This is a show that I'm definitely rewatching in years to come.  Mia Yim, Tegan Nox And Shotzi Blackheart vs Raquel Gonzalez, Candice LeRae And Dakota Kai.  A decent opening match. During the match, Nox did a Molly Holly top rope on to every competitor in the match.  Yim tried to give LeRae some Seoul Food but LeRae reversed that into a suplex. Several minutes later, Shotzi did a Salida Del Sol of some sort on Gonzalez to which Nox delivered the shiniest wizard on Kai and won the match.  Finn Balor vs Damian Priest. I actually thought that the closing mo...

The Coherent Wrestling Wednesdays: Holy Sh*t, The Revival Are All Elite, Matt Riddle vs Timothy Thatcher In A Unique Steel Cage Match.

Both shows had its weak points but overall, that was an enjoyable 4 hours of professional wrestling television. I personally liked AEW Dynamite this week.  From an awesome women's match with Shida and Christi Jaynes to The Revival showing up, AEW managed to give me a solid episode and successfully furthered their storylines to next week's exciting show.  NXT   Highlights (at least in my opinion because wrestling is subjective).  Kushida vs Drake Maverick vs Jake Atlas. Triple Threat Match Interim Cruiserweight Championship Tournament.  What a way to kick off this episode of NXT, am I right? Atlas delivered the rainbow DDT but Kushida broke Jake's pin.  Speaking of Kushida, he nailed the armbar submission, however, Drake pinned Atlas because Atlas' shoulders were on the mat and will meet El Hijo Del Fantasma for the finals next week.  I don't know if Drake is rehired or he's going to be rehired but Maverick has a big ta...
