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 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 ...
