WWE RAW 30/7/18 | My Coherent Review.

RAW was a bad show that for the most part, did nothing to make me excited for summerslam. Why you ask? Well i'm gonna give you what's good, what's ok and what's bad. Let's talk wrestling shall we?

WHAT'S GOOD

The feud between Ronda Rousey vs Alexa Bliss so far

The more i'm watching ronda wanna beat the crap out of alexa, the more i'm excited for this match. Seriously, i didn't see that coming because i was one of those people who hated when alexa won the money in the bank briefcase and then cashed in her contract to become the current RAW women's champion. I guess this really paid off in the long run.

WHAT'S OK

Baron corbin vs Finn Balor

Surprisingly a decent match. Disappointingly so, corbin wins with the end of days. Again solid match but in my opinion balor needs the win considering that he needs momentum and him losing clean says otherwise.

Seth rollins vs Drew Mcintyre

Their match couple of weeks ago was so much better. In other words, i was disappointed. Not that the match sucked or anything like that. It's just the match lacked something in it. Seth wins via DQ.

The Revival vs The Deleters of worlds

To be honest, i was in the bathroom and missed most of this match. All you need to know is that like the picture above, the revival wins with the shatter machine.

Sasha and Bayley vs the Riott Squad

Skippable match. The boss and hug connection which clearly is a original name (sarcasm) wins this match. Is this friendship the start of a possible women's tag team division? Will see.

WHAT'S BAD

Elias challenges Bobby lashley to a duet

Why is this necessary? I mean, bobby lashley sucks on the mic. What makes you think the guy can actually sing which by the way sucked at that aspect too. A very strange booking by WWE and that made bobby lashley look embarrassing somehow.

Jinder mahal vs Braun strowman

Jinder mahal wins this match. I repeat jinder mahal wins this match. If jinder has no plans for summerslam, why does jinder win this match? A very head scratching moment like most of this show.

Apollo crews vs Akam

This match ended with apollo winning with the school boy roll up. If i remember correctly, the authors of pain squashed titus and apollo a couple of weeks ago and i understand they giving something for them to do but WWE could've approached it in a creative way. You know, that's what creative exist right?

Let's talk about this storyline

Shout out to frank the clown on twitter for posting this. Pretty hilarious huh? The reason why i hate this angle is one WWE are building sympathy towards roman and hence, trying to get this man over like "Look at brock, he treats heyman like crap. He's a bad man but roman doesn't do that i think? Anyways, cheer Roman". Look, i liked roman when he was WWE champion in 2016 which by the way is the BEST title reign in recent memory and i feel like Roman is one of those characters that you shouldn't feel sympathy towards him. And again, WWE got the roman character right in 2016 and they somehow messed that up.

Sound off in the comments on what do you think about RAW this week and follow me on twitter @omar_playa. Anyways stay safe smarks.

NXT Takeover: In Your House 2020 | A Coherent Review.

NXT Takeover: In Your House is like the rest of the Takeover shows, a fantastic 2 hours of professional wrestling. What makes this show special is the additional nostalgia like how the show started with the NXT WWF inspired intro, the ice cream commercial narrated by William Regal doing his best Lord Alferd Hayes impression, icopro commercial and last but not least, Todd Pettengill. This is a show that I'm definitely rewatching in years to come. Mia Yim, Tegan Nox And Shotzi Blackheart vs Raquel Gonzalez, Candice LeRae And Dakota Kai. A decent opening match. During the match, Nox did a Molly Holly top rope on to every competitor in the match. Yim tried to give LeRae some Seoul Food but LeRae reversed that into a suplex. Several minutes later, Shotzi did a Salida Del Sol of some sort on Gonzalez to which Nox delivered the shiniest wizard on Kai and won the match. Finn Balor vs Damian Priest. I actually thought that the closing mo...

Jim Cornette's Opinion On WWE's Deal With FOX.

Jim Cornette recently appeared on Talk Is Jericho about the state of wrestling ( Click here to listen and download the whole thing, it's really good) and talked about a number of topics but the interesting thing about this discussion is his opinion on WWE's deal with FOX. Here's what he had to say (shout out to WrestleZone for the transcript): " Vince just got $2 billion for a TV deal. People are looking at All In, the resurgence of New Japan, and all that, but that’s going to be the most important thing. Now people with platforms are interested in wrestling again. There’s a lot of money in wrestling again. For a while ratings were meh, and they still are, but at the same point $2 billion, how can you argue with that? In 2011, when Sinclair Broadcasting bought Ring of Honor it instantly became the second most watched television program because it was on 60 local stations. That was still a wide gap from WWE, and IMPACT has gone in the other direction becaus...

The Coherent Wrestling Wednesdays: Holy Sh*t, The Revival Are All Elite, Matt Riddle vs Timothy Thatcher In A Unique Steel Cage Match.

Both shows had its weak points but overall, that was an enjoyable 4 hours of professional wrestling television. I personally liked AEW Dynamite this week. From an awesome women's match with Shida and Christi Jaynes to The Revival showing up, AEW managed to give me a solid episode and successfully furthered their storylines to next week's exciting show. NXT Highlights (at least in my opinion because wrestling is subjective). Kushida vs Drake Maverick vs Jake Atlas. Triple Threat Match Interim Cruiserweight Championship Tournament. What a way to kick off this episode of NXT, am I right? Atlas delivered the rainbow DDT but Kushida broke Jake's pin. Speaking of Kushida, he nailed the armbar submission, however, Drake pinned Atlas because Atlas' shoulders were on the mat and will meet El Hijo Del Fantasma for the finals next week. I don't know if Drake is rehired or he's going to be rehired but Maverick has a big ta...
