WWE RAW 18/6/18 | My Coherent Review.


Well, Raw was a passable show. Definitely better than last week. Unlike most reviews you watch/read, i'm going to talk about what's good, what's ok and what's bad in non chronological order in my RAW/Smackdown reviews. Now lets get to it. 


WHAT'S GOOD.

That opening segment YO!


Oh my GOD, this segment was a great way to open this show. I've been waiting this ronda since her debut and she looked fantastic and the best part about this was that she threw kurt like a badass. She obviously got suspended for thirty days which means ronda will probably come back the next raw after extreme rules. Most likely, their setting up for a ronda vs alexa match at summerslam. I know i'm talking about what's good here but the ONLY thing i don't like about this is that their going with Alexa bliss vs Nia jax AGAIN at extreme rules. Not confirmed yet but it's gonna happen.

The seth rollins vs dolph ziggler match


Did i just review this show in chronological order? Anyways, that was a great match. not surprising considering that their both great in ring talent and me writing this. I don't know how to feel about dolph winning the intercontinental championship. On one hand, that was an unpredictable finish which i can appreciate sometimes. On the other hand, that win 
should've went to elias. I'm sure their going to have a very good match next week.


Elias concert


Any elias concert is awesome. Espescially when he sings. I've never been in a concert before (i know crazy right?) but that's the concert i would like to go if he has a legitimate concert of course and not waste my money on a three hour bland episode of RAW just for few minutes of elias singing. By the way, there was NO interruptions whatsoever which is awesome and rare to see. 


Mojo Rawley's look


The match itself was nothing special but the reason why i'm putting this on what's good is because he looked very good and i want to see more of this mojo rawley. Goes to show you that you need to get serious in order for the fans to believe in the performers. 


WHAT'S OK


Bobby roode vs Curt Hawkins


The reason. Because it ended quick. Roode wins with the glorious DDT. Bobby roode as a babyface, sucks. He maybe WORST that reigns as far as i'm concerned. He needs a heel turn out of the entire roster.Two bobbys from the same roster character wise, are terrible. I know again I'm not talking about what's bad yet but this needs to be said in my opinion.



WHAT'S BAD

The tag team title scene right now 


The tag team division from RAW and smackdown in my opinion, are DEAD to me. You can tell that WWE creative doesn't give a crap about their tag teams i mean where are the authors of pain? I've not seen them on RAW in MONTHS. Who would've thought i went from begging TNA to give matt hardy the rights to the broken gimmick to now not giving a crap about WOKEN matt hardy? I feel like the reason me not caring about the whole WOKEN thing is because bray wyatt is holding matt hardy back. Hoping WWE creative does something to build interest with the tag team division on both brands. 


Sasha hates bayley apparently 


I hate when WWE doesn't care about their continuity (for the most part). However, this feud is a expection. I feel like this is a concurring theme of me not giving a crap about most things. 


Why Three impromptu tag team matches? 



This is pro wrestling storytelling laziness at it's best. Typical formulaic "tag team match playa" *teddy long voice*.  But seriously, this shit gotta stop but it's not going to happen anytime soon. 


My question is, What do you think about #RAW this week? let me know in the comments and follow my twitter @omar_playa for more pro wrestling discussions. I already wrote my notes for my money in the bank review yesterday but i'm was attacked by the lazy as some would say. Review will be up tomorrow. Anyways, stay safe smarks.

WWE Smackdown 17/12/21 | A Coherent Review.

Another week, another meh episode of Smackdown although the ending was pretty eye-opening.  Images via WWE.com   The Viking Raiders vs Jinder Mahal And Shanky.  After a backstage segment that included The Usos roasting Xavier Woods' kingship, the blue brand really started the show with a match (not this one) which is a rare thing to see on main roster television. And the match wasn't bad at all.  The Viking Raider defeated the team of Jinder and Shanky with a splash from Ivor. Does everyone want a Happy Corbin segment? Well, no and Drew McIntyre agrees as he took out Corbin and Madcap Moss to retrieve his sword which sounds like a bad King Arthur comedy flick or something.  Naomi Wants A Match With Sonya Deville.  Naomi is upset at how Sonya Deville acted like a Susan over the past few months so the glow queen challenged the actual manager to a match at Day 1 and Sonya was like, "Ahhhh, no".  Naomi then had a match with Shayna Baszler and within minute...

My Coherent Wrestling Wednesdays: Chris Jericho Offers Moxley To Join Inner Circle, The Go-Home Show Before Dec 18th.

I thought the middle act of AEW Dynamite suffered some pacing issues even though it was overall a much stronger show than last week's episode.  The latest episode of NXT, however, has built a solid foundation on what's to come on December 18th. The main question is, which show do I like better? The answer is AEW.  NXT  Highlights. Angel Garza vs Lio Rush For The NXT Cruiserweight Championship.  Was this match better than their first encounter? Like Snoop Dogg's verse in Sasha Banks' theme song, "Hell yea". Garza slams Rush hard on the ring apron by pushing the champ. Moments later, Garza delivers the Spanish Fly and Rush kicked out of that.  As Rush hits the frog splash, the champ wanted to pull him back in the middle of the ring but instead, he ripped off Garza's pants (nice attention to detail).  Angel then hits the wind clipper but Lio kicked out which led to a wind clipper submission and the man of the hour tapped out which m...

NXT Takeover Phoenix | My Coherent Review.

NXT Takeover was a great show with great wrestling, energetic crowd and intriguing storytelling (OMG, REALLY? I didn’t know that).  War Raiders vs The Undisputed Era (Kyle O’ Reilly and Roderick Strong) for the NXT Tag Team Championship.  First off, cool entrance by War Raiders. Secondly, the match was entertaining. At one point, Strong did a superplex to Hanson. The match ended with War Raiders delivered the Fallout to Kyle O ‘Reilly and won the match. War Raiders are the new NXT Tag Team Champions deservedly so.  Matt Riddle vs Kassius Ohno. During the match, Ohno hit Riddle right on his mouth which absolutely looked brutal. Minutes after that, Riddle hits Ohno with series of elbow strikes which made Ohno tap out and won the match. A very unique finish but nevertheless, this was a decent match.  Johnny Gargano vs Ricochet for the NXT North American Championship.  Those guys put on the absolute clinic of a wrestling match. But that ending ...
