Unlike last week's show, we've now tuned in to its regular scheduled episode of Smackdown this time in Manchester, England and it was the usual Smackdown formula. An uninspired episode of Smackdown on Fox with the exception of last week's episode of course.   King Corbin. Just King Corbin.  King Corbin opened his mouth by stating the obvious that at Survivor Series, RAW will battle SmackDown and NXT in the name of brand supremacy. Baron then went on to praise Roman for fighting Leukaemia but he also said that Roman has a small package basically.  Afterwards, Corbin played a video of a dog barking but in a soft tone which was his version of Eddie Murphy's delirious in the sense that it was actually funny to him and ended this promo basically telling that he'll beat Roman in the main event of Smackdown.  Corbin is known for his decent mic skills but this ain't it. It was lame in so many ways that Dr Strange in Avengers: Infinity War had to slo...

NXT has taken over and to quote Robert Roode, it was glorious. I don't know how this show will turn out if it was a regularly scheduled show.  This is the best Smackdown on FOX episode and that's all thanks to NXT. I know that's due to most superstars having travelling issues from Saudi Arabia back to the States but they’ve managed to give us a fun episode and it was something that we haven't seen coming.  Brock Lesnar Is Pissed Off.  The beast and the advocate started off this episode of Smackdown and Paul says that Brock is angry. The reason is? Rey Mysterio hits Lesnar with a series of chair shots which is funny to say given that I said the exact opposite in my Crown Jewel review.  Heyman went on to say that Brock Lesnar officially quits Friday Night SmackDown in order to appear on Monday Night RAW this coming week to hunt Rey Mysterio. They did show us the full WWE championship at Crown Jewel so depending on who you are, you may like it or not like it...

Another disappointing episode of Friday night Smackdown but it was a bit better this week. Still, a meh episode.  Miz TV. Special Guest, Team Hulk Hogan And Team Ric Flair.  Both team Hulk Hogan and team Flair were guests on the latest edition of Miz TV or at least most of it due to a brand split. Hulk Hogan mentioned in his promo that he's put out the greatest team Hulkamania of all time (are the mega powers and Brutus Beefcake a joke to you brother?)  Ric Flair replied by basically saying that his team will beat Hogan's team at Crown Jewel. Sami Zayn made a short joke and Gable tells Zayn that he embraces who he is.  Roman Reigns called King Corbin stupid to which Hogan proposed a match in the main event of this episode between most of team Hogan vs most of team Flair in a 6 man tag team match.  Sami on behalf of the team, refused to accept that but after Hogan said something to Nakamura in Japanese, Sami told Hogan that the 6 man tag ma...

This show other than the opening segment and match, was just not interesting and I'm hoping that it's just a filler week for them so that they hammer back their creative strengths next Friday or Saturday morning where I live.  Erick Rowan Claims That "Might Is Right". Erick Rowan showed up with a killswitch engage shirt which I've not noticed it till I watched the YouTube version of this segment and he conveys to the fans that might is right (not gonna lie, that was a good line). Daniel Bryan came out and didn't buy that BS so he challenged him to a very competitive match with many near falls from the big man.  Luke Harper emerges at the end and due to his distractions, Erick Rowan delivered the iron claw which was botched but he got it with a second Iron Claw and won the match.  Roman Reigns makes the save to end a 2 on 1 beating. This is where my fickle wrestling fan side comes in (no pun intended), the mystery side of that story sucked bu...

Smackdown Live was like Clash of Champions, okay overall. That’s it.  Oh, you wanna know why I feel this way? Okay, well here you go.  The New Day vs The Revival And Randy Orton.  This show started off with a match. A 6 man tag team match in fact which is a nice change of pace. for this show. Wish I could say the same thing about this match. Not that I have a problem with this match but rather it was okay. The match ended with Big E preventing an RKO machine and Kofi delivers the trouble in paradise to win this match but then, out came Brock Lesnar along with Paul Heyman and no, it's not a typo. Heyman said that it's a bad day for the New Day yes it is and was informed that Brock Lesnar challenges Kofi to match for the WWE title on Friday Night SmackDown premiere on FOX. Kofi accepts it and ate an F5 afterwards.  This is no pun intended, big news and Kofi has faced Lesnar before so will the outcome be the same on Friday? Will find out soon. Also, whe...
