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: Three Big Returns, A Great Inaugural Women's Championship Match.

If you have been a fan of this site since January, then you'll know that I've completely rebooted my review process and now, I'm doing that again.  Don't worry, the format for my RAW, Smackdown and PPV reviews will still be the same but not on Wednesdays. So, here it is, My Coherent Wrestling Wednesdays.  NXT The Highlights. Adam Cole vs Matt Riddle For The NXT Championship.  A match that opened this episode of the yellow brand, the original bro and the leader of The Undisputed Era tore the house down.  Whether it's Cole reversing the fireman's carry from Riddle into a backstabber, Cole hitting a Panama sunrise twice, a floating bro or the crowd chanting "Adam Cole, bro", it was a visual statement by NXT that the yellow brand is THE brand to watch.  Unfortunately,  Riddle felt short and ate the last shot but there was another highlight I wanna talk about….. Finn Balor Returns To N. X. T.  It's not a typo my friends, Finn ...

WWE Wrestlemania 26 | A Coherent Review.

I've teased a mystery review on my Facebook page (which you can click here to follow us) and that mystery has now been unveiled. It's Wrestlemania 26. This review was delayed and was supposed to be up last Monday but at least is now up. Also, The first draft of this review was 7 pages long so strap in. By far, the longest review on this very website.  I thought it would be fitting to review a Wrestlemania from a decade back and how do I feel about it? It was a show that if you watched it, you're most likely going to have a good time. It was a mix of great things but terrible things at the same time as most shows.  The 26th edition of Wrestlemania took place in the University of Phoenix Stadium in the Phoenix suburb of Glendale, Arizona on March 28th, 2010.  The commentators were Micheal Cole, Jerry Lawler and Matt Striker. Honestly, Striker was pretty good and a far better colour commentator than Lawler was on this show (even today, Lawler is still bleh on commen...
