WWE SMACKDOWN REVIEWS RECAPS AND REACTIONS Immortal Tribal combat As it turns out, all that talk about Roman Reigns and Jey Uso setting the “rules of engagement” was just a cool military sounding way to say they were going to have a contract signing on Friday Night SmackDown this week in Orlando. Hey, I appreciate the creativity. But it wasn’t just a contract signing, it was a way to add yet another layer to the story. Jey informed everyone, including Reigns himself, that, well, to hell with a contract, they’re blood and that means this would be TRIBAL COMBAT, which, as Jey himself explained it, essentially just means anything goes. So they’re going to beat the ever loving trash out of each other with all manner of weaponry. Then, he said it again, that this is Tribal Combat, and Reigns took the Lei off his neck, something that pained him greatly to do, before placing it on the WWE Universal championship. The symbolism seemed clear enough — they’re fighting for two titles. WWE Universal Champion. The Tribal Chief. If it wasn’t clear, Michael Cole came right out and said it. I quite like stories like this without explainers but it was fair of them to have commentary make clear exactly what the stakes for this match will be. To really drive it home, after a customary hand shake, Solo Sikoa tried to attack Jey but Roman stepped in before the Spike could land. Jey responded not by backing off but by laying Solo out with a Superkick while Reigns was still holding him. When Reigns looked to him with concern, the message seemed equally clear. What was it Paul Heyman said last week? Jey is looking and acting more and more like a Tribal Chief all the time. The clock ticks. Not the knight LA Knight did not win the Fatal 4-Way match to advance to next week to face Santos Escobar for the right to challenge Austin Theory for the United States championship. But you know what? They handled this as well as they could have to mitigate any issue fans may have had with him losing. And that’s because they actually bothered to tell a story that makes sense with a wrestler we simply wouldn’t be turning on. But they also made clear they know Knight is a star in the making. After all, he was the only one to get time on the mic before the match: YEAH. Then, they had Theory sitting ringside and getting involved to screw with Rey Mysterio, leading to Escobar hitting the ring to help his fellow LWO stablemate and mentor. But that didn’t include cheating for him to win. No, Mysterio overcome the outside attack to win anyway, and fans cheered for that victory despite Knight taking the loss (after he was taken out with a Brogue Kick). It works because they were very clearly setting up a “Mentor vs. Protege” match between Mysterio and Escobar, one where Mysterio could and likely will do the job for Santos and give him a big endorsement on his way to a title match that he should probably win. You couldn’t ask for a better story to tell there. And even if you’re an LA Knight fanatic like myself, you can’t be mad about them telling it. His time will come. Later in the evening, Theory demanded a non-title match against Escobar and had it granted. The two had a damn good showcase match, one that saw Escobar take advantage of an angry Theory and pin the champion clean in the middle of the ring. The fans sure sounded behind Santos to me! It may finally be time for the uber talented star to get a push at the level he can work at. Next week is a big one. All the rest -Iyo Sky is still the Money in the Bank contract holder so in order to keep that fresh on everyone’s mind, they had her wrestle Charlotte Flair in a straight up singles match. Bayley, who thankfully looks like she survived injury and her knee is okay, was fantastic on commentary putting down the man she hates more than anyone, Michael Cole. She also tried to coach up Sky but Shotzi again used the Titantron to get in her head, which led to Bayley completely bailing on Sky. It was still one hell of a competitive match, and absolutely served to show us this is what the future looks like. But not just yet. Flair pinned Sky clean. Asuka attacked her after the match, itself a good thing because, again, she’s largely taken a backseat even as champion. This was really well done all around. -Oh, what’s this? Bobby Lashley hoping he would run into NXT Champion Carmelo Hayes and Trick Williams while in town for this show? And the two meeting for a talk? Whatever could this be about?!? Intrigue! -Dominik Mysterio defended the North American championship for the first time not his show, defeating BUTCH thanks to multiple assists from his lady friend Rhea Ripley. They also did a comedy spot with Pretty Deadly during the match, so those two are staying on TV despite Elton Prince’s injury, which bodes well for them. There isn’t much to say for Dom vs. BUTCH, other than it’s good they had Mysterio pick up a victory in a title defense before he heads off to The Great American Bash to square up with Mustafa Ali. You could tell this was an FS1 show. That’s not to say it was bad — quite the contrary, actually — just that they didn’t overdo anything here and focused on a few key segments. I quite enjoyed it.

majesticguy:No it doesn't, perhaps you feel that way cos as a series they had more time to flesh out the character and what not. Yeah, I know there is no definite rule for time travel. But seriously, how can 2 of you be in the same place at the same time and worse even share vital information amongst yourselves and yet there's no repercussion.The repercussion was clearly there, the younger Barry would forever be lost in that time loop and even if both his parents survive they would never know where their son is, older Barry was also lost somewhere in the multiverse even after helping exonerate his dad (the wrong dad btw) The whole movie seemed rushed and don't even get me started on the plot holes. Barry was in a lab were lightening strikes some chemical and splashes all over him thus giving him his super speed. Somehow, Barry who's was splashed with a combo of lightning and chemicals recovered within a few seconds of the accident and gained his powers immediately I agree some aspects of the movie felt rushed and if people just talked about that instead of the CGI it would have been better, the origin story was straight out of the comic books, you're really just nitpicking right now Again, I don't remember them telling us who killed Barry's mum in the movie. Flash alters the timeline by placing the can of tomatoes in his mum shopping cart and somehow, that can of tomatoes prevents the death of his mum, like seriously!. The director Saying in an interview that Barry's mum was infact killed by the reverse flash. So let me get this straight. When Barry altered the timeline in the past and prevented his mother's death, so, it was a can of tomato that prevented the reverse flash from traveling through time and killing his mum... It was the can of tomatoes that made Barry's dad leave the house and get implicated in the first place, replacing the tomatoes wasn't meant to keep the mum alive but to exenorate the dad. We all know who killed Barry's mum and it was smart of them not to mention him in the movie, the Reverse flash should be officially introduced in the new DCU. Some of the jokes didn't land well and that's because some parts of the movie felt rushed like I said earlier but generally Flash is a quippy character even more than Shazam bordering on Spiderman levels of quips even. You guys have enjoyed movies worse than Flash on this thread, make Una cut the movie some slack abeg. 4 Likes 2 Shares |

majesticguy: Why are you using CW flash as a yardstick? That iteration wasn't even an accurate description of Barry Allen/Flash, the costumes were cheap and laughable and there were alot of brainfarts from the writers (via the parts I actually watched). I'd pick Ezra Miller's flash over Grant every single time. |

abduleez1: Isn't this what I kept saying? When I started seeing people talk about the microwave scene I just gave up. People just love hating on superhero movies especially when it's from DC, they must come up with something, Person wey download the movie from N#tn#ija dey complain about CGI 🙄🙄 Check blue beetle on twitter and see how people are already calling it mid and talking about how it'll fail. I don't know how possible it is but these studios should just come together and starve people of the Superhero genre for some years and let's see how the Hollywood scene would look like. 2 Likes 1 Share |
