WWE Summerslam 2022 | A (first PPV review since Wrestlemania) Coherent Review.

I've been so inconsistent with my content this year with me posting way less stuff than in my almost 4 years of inserting fart jokes in every piece (to the point where I haven't reviewed a PP….. Excuse me, PLE since this year's Wrestlemania) and I'm so sorry for that, my bot accounts and a particular head of PR. 

With all of the BS out of the way, how was Summerslam? Almost 2 years ago, WWE produced one of the best Summerslams despite the sheer circumstances. Last year's? Not so much. 

The *looks at the quarterly earnings* $90 million dollar question is, did this year's show deliver like Summerslam 2020 or was it a stinker like Omos' wrestling ability? It was somewhere in the middle like Dolph Ziggler's career but felt longer than an AEW PPV.

But, if I had to give it a thumbs up or down, it's an easy thumbs up. 

Bianca Belair vs Becky Lynch For The RAW Women's Championship. 

Those ladies delivered once again. The KOD on the barricade was *chef's kiss*. The match concluded with Belair walking out of Nashville still the women's champion but before the EST did that, she along with Becky Lynch, encounter the returning Bayley, Io Shirai (now Iyo Sky) and Dakota Kai. 

A babyface turn for big-time Bex? Also, LETS FREAKING GO, BAYLEY! 

Logan Paul vs The Miz. 

A white ally vs a non-white ally? You know who I'm picking. All lame jokes aside, the match was decent. Gotta admit, that frog splash from Logan was pretty good. 

It's sad seeing the only role that AJ Styles' played (on a show like Summerslam) was throwing out Ciampa but it is what it is, I guess. 

The Miz took his own medicine due to the fact that Logan Paul defeated the former 2 time WWE champion with the skull-crushing finale. 

Bobby Lashley vs Titan For The United States Championship. 

Yes, I'm calling Theory Titan on the headlines because he looks like an attack on Titan character. Also, the match ended quicker than Butterbean's knockout over Bart Gunn. Lashley wins via the hurt lock. 

Rey And Dominik Mysterio vs The Judgement Day In A No DQ Match. 

Besides the opening and the closing matches, this one is my favourite despite the sad fact that Retribution had a better build as a stable than The Judgement Day. 

Edge's impactful return is what led to a 619 from the Mysterios to win the match. 

Edge went from dressing like a Fox News anchor to now a lead singer of a 20-year-old band that will always be better than anything Fozzy puts out. 

Pat McAfee vs Baron Corbin. 

Another decent match for what it was. During the bout, Corbin was messing with Michael Cole which honestly is better than a 70-something-year-old man yelling at Cole. 

McAfee won the match with I'm assuming a sunset flip of sorts. 

The Usos vs The Street Profits For The WWE Undisputed Tag Team Championship. 

A match so mid (especially compared to their fantastic match at Money In The Bank), that even Jeff Jarrett couldn't save it. 

Now, who's surprised that The Usos retained the red and blue tag belts? 


Seth Rollins and Riddle brawled so hard, that AEW is blushing right now. 

Liv Morgan vs Ronda Rousey For The Smackdown Women's Championship. 

Nothing too noteworthy happened in the match itself but we all saw a side of Rousey that should've been showcased since her return earlier this year (aka a possible heel turn).

The match ended with Liv countering the arm bar into a pinfall victory but Ronda's shoulder wasn't all the way down in all 3 pinfalls. 

Roman Reigns vs Brock Lesnar For The WWE Undisputed Universal Championship In A Last Man Standing Match. 

After Drew McIntyre was done hyping up the crowd like he's Fatman Scoop or something, both Reigns and Lesnar probably had the best match since their first encounter at WrestleMania 31. 

The right person in Roman Reigns won the match and all I can say is, that the claymore is coming (what a lame way to end a review). 

So, to recap for all of you slow mofos. 

Like: Roman Reigns vs Brock Lesnar, Bianca Belair vs Becky Lynch, BAYLEY, DAKOTA, IO, Logan Paul's frog splash, Michael Cole's 2003 self is coming back, heel Ronda. 

Didn't like: that thing was long as f**k.

WWE Smackdown Season Premiere | A Coherent Review.

  It is the season premiere of Friday night Smackdown even though WWE doesn't have an offseason.  Nevertheless, it was a decent program and had a WAY better ending than whatever the hell of an ending last year's premiere of Friday night Smackdown showed.  There isn't a women's match this week and all of the AEW fanboys are looking at this like, "sEe, WWE dOeSn't feATuRe wOmeN'S mAtChEs aLsO."  pictures via WWE.com The Season Premiere Of Smackdown 2020.  The show started off with Triple H and Stephanie McMahon highlighting the scheduled matches for Smackdown as well as the superstars.  Chaos then ensued thanks to a huge brawl. Then, the "super freak" Lars Sullivan came out and delivered the freak accident to Shorty G.  Somehow, Jeff Hardy attacked him and that led to the opening match of the night between Lars and Jeff.  You know, I'm kind of surprised that two white people in McMahon and Hemsley knew who Rick James is.  Maybe I'm igno...

The Coherent Wrestling Wednesdays: Fyter Fest 2020 Came Back Swinging?

Last week, on this very series, I said that I enjoyed Great American Bash better than Fyter Fest.  Well, this week is the exact opposite. AEW came in swinging with night 2 Fyter Fest.  I've not liked a Dynamite episode in several weeks so it's nice to see that the show finally executed a great show since God knows how long.   NXT      Highlights (at least in my opinion because wrestling is subjective).  Mia Yim vs Candice LeRae In A Street Fight. The match went underway after Yim quickly attacked Candice LeRae during LeRae's entrance.  In the crowd area, Candice tried to nail the suplex on the table but Yim got out of that position and kicked her to which she landed through the table.  The Streetfight concluded with LeRae striking Yim with the brass knuckles followed by a swinging neck from the top of the table onto a bunch of chairs and that's how LeRae defeats the HBIC.  A fun opening match even though...

WWE Smackdown 4/2/22 | A Coherent Review.

 Gotta be honest guys, this episode didn't do it for me.  Besides the announcement of Ronda Rousey challenging Charlotte Flair for the blue women's belt at Wrestlemania as well as another challenge proposed by Goldberg aka NoBerg to the tribal chief, this, like last week's show, was as skippable as an anime filler episode.  Paul Heyman Was Like, "F**k That Brock Guy!"  Brock and Paul legit need some counselling because they've broken up and reunited together like my relationship with the Call of Duty franchise. To quote Gordon Ramsey, "DAMN! DAMN! DAMN! DAMN!"  All lame banter aside, Paul Heyman's promos before Goldberg's appearance was the only good thing throughout the entire show.  As far as how I feel about the idea of Goldberg facing Roman Reigns at the upcoming Elimination Chamber show, major Ls on this one.   Ricochet vs Ridge Holland.  Yay, the "one on one match that later turned into a tag match" cliche. The difference is t...
