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 17/12/21 | A Coherent Review.

Another week, another meh episode of Smackdown although the ending was pretty eye-opening.  Images via WWE.com   The Viking Raiders vs Jinder Mahal And Shanky.  After a backstage segment that included The Usos roasting Xavier Woods' kingship, the blue brand really started the show with a match (not this one) which is a rare thing to see on main roster television. And the match wasn't bad at all.  The Viking Raider defeated the team of Jinder and Shanky with a splash from Ivor. Does everyone want a Happy Corbin segment? Well, no and Drew McIntyre agrees as he took out Corbin and Madcap Moss to retrieve his sword which sounds like a bad King Arthur comedy flick or something.  Naomi Wants A Match With Sonya Deville.  Naomi is upset at how Sonya Deville acted like a Susan over the past few months so the glow queen challenged the actual manager to a match at Day 1 and Sonya was like, "Ahhhh, no".  Naomi then had a match with Shayna Baszler and within minute...

My Coherent Wrestling Wednesdays: Chris Jericho Offers Moxley To Join Inner Circle, The Go-Home Show Before Dec 18th.

I thought the middle act of AEW Dynamite suffered some pacing issues even though it was overall a much stronger show than last week's episode.  The latest episode of NXT, however, has built a solid foundation on what's to come on December 18th. The main question is, which show do I like better? The answer is AEW.  NXT  Highlights. Angel Garza vs Lio Rush For The NXT Cruiserweight Championship.  Was this match better than their first encounter? Like Snoop Dogg's verse in Sasha Banks' theme song, "Hell yea". Garza slams Rush hard on the ring apron by pushing the champ. Moments later, Garza delivers the Spanish Fly and Rush kicked out of that.  As Rush hits the frog splash, the champ wanted to pull him back in the middle of the ring but instead, he ripped off Garza's pants (nice attention to detail).  Angel then hits the wind clipper but Lio kicked out which led to a wind clipper submission and the man of the hour tapped out which m...

NXT Takeover Phoenix | My Coherent Review.

NXT Takeover was a great show with great wrestling, energetic crowd and intriguing storytelling (OMG, REALLY? I didn’t know that).  War Raiders vs The Undisputed Era (Kyle O’ Reilly and Roderick Strong) for the NXT Tag Team Championship.  First off, cool entrance by War Raiders. Secondly, the match was entertaining. At one point, Strong did a superplex to Hanson. The match ended with War Raiders delivered the Fallout to Kyle O ‘Reilly and won the match. War Raiders are the new NXT Tag Team Champions deservedly so.  Matt Riddle vs Kassius Ohno. During the match, Ohno hit Riddle right on his mouth which absolutely looked brutal. Minutes after that, Riddle hits Ohno with series of elbow strikes which made Ohno tap out and won the match. A very unique finish but nevertheless, this was a decent match.  Johnny Gargano vs Ricochet for the NXT North American Championship.  Those guys put on the absolute clinic of a wrestling match. But that ending ...
