Let's Talk About The White Rabbit In The Room.

I haven't reviewed last year's show mainly because it was so good and clearly as extreme as any ECW match and I'm happy to tell all 3 of y'all that this one is better by several inches or so. Why? *slaps my bald head* HERE'S WHY.


The opening match between Sheamus and Gunther's crew ruled harder than the Mongolian empire. 

It was basically an enhanced version of Sheamus' match with Gunther last night on Smackdown and I loved it. 

The Brawling Brutes' victory means one thing that is clearly obvious, a rematch between Sheamus and Gunther for the intercontinental championship aka the only series of rematches I don't mind. 

Ronda Rousey and Liv Morgan delivered in what was a wrestling match equivalent to the X-Men Dark Phoenix movie. 

While Bianca Belair and Bayley had their equivalent to the first Iron Man movie in that it was decent. 

Drew McIntyre and Karrion Kross had an okay edition of the "Meaty men slapping meat". 

That spear from Edge to Judgement Day that landed outside the ring was unlike I had ever seen before from him. Now that's worthy of flash photography or in today's age, a TikTok video. 

By far, the highlight of all of this is Michael Cole once again, channelling his inner 2003 self and I appreciate it so much. 

Imagine him doing that type of commentary for Dark Knight Rises after "Miranda" stabbed Batman in the back ("what is wrong with you!?")? That would've made that meh of a movie a lot more interesting. 

Seth Rollins vs Matt Riddle in a fight pit? Roger Ebert level thumbs up for me. 

Let's talk about the elephant in the room or should I say, the white rabbit in the room. 

Bray Wyatt has returned and he got the Road Warrior pop, Stone Cold pop, The Rock pop, that racist POS Hulk Hogan pop, Jeff Jarrett pop, and your mom pop. 

What I'm trying to say is that he got the exact opposite of X-Pac heat because everyone (including me) wants to see him and he's finally here. 

So, to recap for all of you slow mofos. 

Like: Bray Wyatt got the Jeff Jarrett Pop, Brawling Brutes vs Imperium, Michael Cole is fantastic, Seth Rollins vs Matt Riddle. 

Didn't like: Ronda Rousey vs Liv Morgan.

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...
