Money In The Bank 2018 | My Late Coherent Review.


Hello my fellow wrestling fans and welcome to my late coherent money in the bank 2018 review. Overall, a very good show but it had some problems which i'll get there in a bit. By the way, shoutout to MrPHENOMENAL15 for this sick artwork. Click here to check his deviant art profile to see his other sick artwork (tell him i said hi).  

WARNING! i wrote this before RAW and smackdown this week and the reason why i'm not changing anything is because it's interesting to read people's prediction on something and see which came true or not. At least in my opinion. Anyways, on with the review.


Big cass vs Daniel bryan


Decent opener. Should have gone with the intercontinental championship (go to my seth rollins vs elias match below as to why). The spot with daniel bryan jumping from the ring post to big cass was cool but nevertheless it's better than their match at backlash.
WHAT'S NEXT:

 I honestly don't know what's going to happen with big cass or daniel bryan. i hope they evolve big cass's character into something else rather than "look at me, i'm big".

Bobby Lashley vs Sami Zayn


 The positive thing about this match is that the match ended. Bobby lashley wins here. A TOTAL squash match.
WHAT'S NEXT:

 No more shitty feuds please.

Seth Rollins vs Elias


What can i say about this match. This is a great match with countless near falls. At one point, elias delivers a devastating clothesline to seth rollins on the ring apron that almost killed seth. My favourite part about this match was elias countered a suicide dive from rollins, threw him in the barricade, threw him down the steel steps, threw him back in the ring and delivers a PICTURE PERFECT elbow drop to seth. This is elias's best match and like i said earlier, should've opened the show.

WHAT'S NEXT:

Will definitely see a rematch (which i don't mind) at extreme rules or in a episode of RAW filled with commercial breaks. I however prefer at extreme rules.


Women's Money In the Bank Ladder Match


By far THE MATCH OF THE NIGHT and by far better than last year's match. Definitely match of the year candidate. Lana especially looked very impressive in this match. Did an accolade to alexa bliss which got a huge pop from the crowd. Alexa in the end, grab the money in the bank briefcase and wins here and to be honest, not a fan of the finish and here's why. I feel like the whole point of a money in the bank match is that you take a midcard wrestler and take that midcard wrestler to the next level and alexa bliss is not a midcard wrestler. She's a five time women's champion. Three from RAW and two from smackdown and if anything, she needs to stay away from the championship picture.


WHAT'S NEXT.

Looks at my Ronda Rousey vs Nia Jax match review below. 


Roman Reigns vs Jinder Mahal


Just by watching this match you can tell the enthusiasm coming from the Chicago crowd (sarcasm of course).  To be honest, i was in the bathroom and missed most of the match but because my TV was so loud i could hear chants such as CM punk, boring and this is awful. Roman wins with you guess it, a spear.


WHAT'S NEXT:

This feud will somehow continue until Brock (remember him?) comes back and faces him at summerslam for the universal championship and all i can is GOD i hope i'm wrong. 


Carmella vs Asuka


The match itself was fine nothing special. Carmella wins here with the returning James ellsworth. Like i said in my predictions post, this MAKES NO SENSE considering that she treated ellsworth like shit. For instance, how she chains him with a dog belt?

WHATS NEXT:

Asuka will get her rematch but with a gimmick match of some sort at extreme rules next month.

Aj Styles vs Shinsuke Nakamura


This is the best match of the rivalry. Countless edge of your seat moments despite that i hoped that there's no fuck finish which luckily that didn't happened. One of my favourite moments of this match is how it ended even though we've seen this spot before but it never gets old to me. Aj styles wins here with the phenomenal forearm through the table with the count to 10.

WHAT'S NEXT:
I originally wanted a styles vs samoa joe feud for the WWE title but a hardy vs joe for the US title sounds interestings to me. So i honestly don't know. Very interesting to see what's gonna happen with the WWE championship picture. If the feud continues then the match at extreme rules should be a kick in the crouch match. I'm only kidding. 

Ronda Rousey vs Nia Jax


Surprisingly, this is a good match. I swear to god ronda rousey looked like she's been wrestling for ten years. I expected to be a DQ finish considering that bliss won the women's money in the bank match earlier but Alexa bliss had other plans. She comes out and beats the CRAP off of ronda, cashes in her money in the bank contract and delivers a DDT to nia and pins her to win the RAW women's championship for a fifth time. Alexa bliss aka female triple H. In my opinion, this should have been natalya cashing in. 

WHAT'S NEXT.

Not surprised if they announced a triple treat match at extreme rules or WORST, a one on one match between Nia jax and alexa bliss.


Men's Money In The Bank Ladder Match


I actually liked the aspect that the new day will announce which member is entering the ladder match. Gives us the viewers a reason as to why you should watch the show. Only to find out that is kofi kingston entering. If that's the case then he should win the whole thing considering that he's been in six money in the bank ladder matches. Disappointing but nitpicking a side, is this match any good? Yes. Braun strowman just kicked ass in this match. Throwing Kevin owens through the two tables near the stage, breaking the ladder match in half by pushing bobby roode and finn balor. Rusev delivering a TRIPLE accolade. Finn balor delivered a coupe de grace from the top of the ladder through the table i mean i could on and on about the spots in the match. Two ladder matches from both wrestlers that don't need their wins that night. 


WHAT'S NEXT:

If they're planning to do a cash in at summerslam (which i see that match happen by the way) then i don't mind. 


My question is, what do you think about this pay per view? agree or disagree? Anyways, i hope you like this review. Follow me on twitter at @omar_playa for further wrestling discussions and subscribe to this blog for my coherent opinions and stay safe smarks.

WWE Smackdown 21/1/22 | A Coherent Review.

  Another week, another time Pat McAfee shows me why he's better than Corey Graves. Both in the ring AND on the commentary table.  As far as how I feel about this week's episode, it ain't good, people. It ain't good.  An Image via WWE.com   Sethy Mane Wanted A Tag Partner So….………. That he faces The Usos later in the show and if drippy Jesus wins, 2 out of 3 members of the Bloodline are barred off ringside in the blue title encounter (in case you were wondering, Kevin Owens was Seth's tag partner).  BUTTTTTTTTTTTT! The tribal chief had other ideas. He proposed a pitch where if the "burn it down" man loses the tag match, the Rumble match is gone, FINITO!  Bully Ray probably saw Seth Rollins' uttering Jox Moxley's name and reacted, "HOW DARE YOU!! BLASPHEMY!"  Fortunately for SR The Drip Mane, he got what he wanted via a DQ finish thanks to a superman punch from Roman Reigns. While the ending did protect the tag champs, the consequences of i...

A Few Thoughts On RAW And Smackdown: RAW wasn't GREAT!?

  Since this blog will be less of a priority now considering I'm focusing on my podcast now (hit the 5 stars on Apple Podcast you sons of b*tches), I decided to share my few thoughts on RAW, Smackdown, I guess?  Smackdown.  The blue brand delivered yet another good episode this week and it's probably due to the fact that Braun Strowman taking out the Maximum Model is high-key funny as f**k.  The folks over at Titan Towers are bringing back the essence of their characters whether it's Kevin Owens, Shayna Baszler or in this case, Big Braun himself.   As a fan, you gotta love it, especially since in the case of Strowman, the dude hasn't been the same since he turned heel 4 years ago when feuding with Roman Reigns for the universal title.   Other noteworthy segments include Logan Paul challenging Roman Reigns for the big world universal multiverse galactic cinematic championship.  Imagine they pulled that match off 7 years ago back when Logan was on V...

WWE Smackdown 17/7/20 | A Coherent Review.

This recent instalment of Smackdown was decent.  The women, for the most part, was the standout in this program and it honestly carried the show from a meh to a decent watch.  The show started off with Jeff Hardy and Sheamus talking about the upcoming bar fight which you can scroll down to read my thoughts on it.  Sasha Banks and Bayley Gives Us A New Perspective Of The Word "Greatness".  The so-called "golden role models" were praising their greatness to which Nikki Cross was furious about the way she lost at Extreme Rules.  So, Nikki wanted a rematch for the SmackDown women's championship and Bayley accepted that bout if Nikki faces her best friend, Alexa Bliss to determine the number one contender.  That match started immediately after this segment and it was a good opener.  Bayley and Sasha Banks were entertaining in the commentary as per usual.  When Corey Graves brought the fact that Bayley didn't want t...
