WWE Smackdown 8/7/22 | A Coherent Negative Review.

 1234, Smackdown on Fridays are still a bore (for the most part at least). 

Theory Messing With Roman Reigns After Paul Heyman's Promo. 

How long do you think that Theory will pull a Baron Corbin circa 2017? As far as the segment itself before the Money In The Bank winner showed up, it was fine. Nothing too noteworthy in my opinion. 

The Viking Raiders vs Shanky And Jinder Mahal. 

Like the opening segment, the match wasn't memorable (Viking Raiders defeating Shanky and Mahal with a double powerbomb) but their newfound aggression (by laying waste on The New Day) is something they should've had since their main roster debut a few years ago. 

I like it because the more I forget about the segments they had with The Street Profits, the better. 

Shinsuke Nakamura vs Ludwig Kaiser. 

A mostly one-sided match for the former IC champion and because of it, Nakamura defeated Kaiser with the Kinshasa. 

After the match, Gunther gave Kaiser some discipline by giving him multiple chops which honestly sounds like something Ric Flair would do to his protégés. 

"I Can Dream Of When You're Gonna Finally Shut Up," Says Natalya. 

I've heard better dialogue from watching Tommy Wiseau's The Room. 

Both Natalie, Ronda Rousey and Liv Morgan had a verbal back and forth which led to a Money In The Bank rematch between Rousey and the woman that splat out a bad line fed by the creative geniuses. 

And of course, Rousey won with an ankle lock. 

Max Dupri Shows Off His Maximum Male Clients' (Mansoor And Mace) Tennis Fit Collection. 

Coolinos. 

Lacey Evans Turns Heel. In Other News, Another MCU Film Is Coming. 

Coolinos. 

The Usos vs Los Lotharios. 

An okay match for what it was. The Usos won with the 1D to Humberto. 

Drew McIntyre vs Butch. 

Aka a match that was supposed to be Drew vs Sheamus but like the old man that every anti-smark hates for some reason (other than the concept of going outside), plans changed. 

Would you be surprised if I told you that McIntrye won here? 

So, to recap for all of you slow mofos. 

Like: New Viking Raiders? Noice. 

Didn't like: Pretty much everything else.

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...
