Welcome to this review of WWE Super ShowDown 2020, right here on Nerdly. I’m Nathan Favel and all the SaudiMania jokes annoy me, so I’ll just take the high road…to yo’ momma’s house! Da b—- gots a fat ass! Okay, we’ve got some big matches here, so in the name of Allah, bring me some damn virgins…unless they say no, then leave’em be.
Match #1: The O.C.’s Luke Gallows & Karl Anderson def. The Viking Raiders The following is courtesy of wwe.com:
The last time The O.C. came to Riyadh, they were crowned as the best tag team in the world, and they lived up to the billing on their return trip, defeating The Viking Raiders in the Super ShowDown Kickoff Match. Erik & Ivar dominated the early goings before Gallows swung the match in favor of The O.C. with a blistering big boot.

Welcome to this weeks review of Smackdown Live, which follows last weeks huge Smackdown 1000 episode and continues the road to Crown Jewel… Whether thats is a certain country overseas or, as some are positing, another location in the Us, remains to be seen.
Match #1: Big Show vs. Kofi Kingston ended in a no-contest The following comes courtesy of WWE.com:
The New Day kicked off SmackDown Live by addressing the very controversial way they lost the SmackDown Tag Team Titles last week, as Big Show shockingly assisted The Bar to victory. Rather than dwelling on Big Show’s seemingly unprovoked assault, however, Kofi Kingston, Xavier Woods and Big E focused on the challenges ahead … like Kofi’s one-on-one contest with a member of the new faction.
After some deliberation (and taunting) on the part of Sheamus, Cesaro and Big Show, The World’s Largest Athlete squared off with Kofi on the blue brand.

Corey Swanson has problems. He’s almost 30, still lives in his mom’s basement, doesn’t date, and his career amounts to slicing meat in an archaic deli that no one ever comes to – unless they want to rob it. After a chance encounter with a popular former classmate, Corey learns that his high school crush Sheena Halliday will soon be in town for their 10-year reunion. Sheena, now a world-famous athlete, has been dubbed “the Lindsay Lohan of the wrestling world”. She twists and pounds people into oblivion for a living – the same thing she did to Corey’s heart back in high school. Corey puts his broken heart (and punched face) aside,...

One of the things I love most about festivals is discovering something new and loglines don't get much stranger than "wrestling romantic comedy." But I'm cheating a little here because Chokeslam isn't really a new discovery but rather a movie I've been looking forward to since it premiered at the Calgary International Film Festival.
A passion project for writer/director Robert Cuffley (who a few years ago was responsible for the great thriller Ferocious (review), this comedy stars Chris Marquette as Corey, a nice guy who stuck around the small town he grew up in. His 10th anniversary high school re-union is around the corner and with it comes the return of Sheena, [Continued ...]...
