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.

Wrestling And The So Called "'Realism".

When was the last time you've heard a wrestling fan say, "wrestling is too unrealistic" or "wrestling is beyond believable"? If the answer is no, I wanna live in whatever dystopia you reside in because I envy your ignorance. All wittiness aside, it is pretty common to hear pundits and fans say that the medium of their entertainment (pro wrestling, in this case) is too darn unrealistic. Now, why is that? That depends on when professional wrestling or the specific style of pro wrestling came into their lives. Some might have grown up in the "realistic sport" presentation that territories like the WWWF presented back in the 60s/70s. Others might have been brought up in the late 90s Attitude era Jerry springer/Vince Russo esque offering (uh, The Undertaker and Kane literally existed by then). It's a weird discussion to have since I and the 3 people that read this, can put out the gazillion things in wrestling that are deemed "unrealistic...

Wrestling With Whiteness | A Documentary Sorely Needed.

Here's the thing. My 2 viewers will know that I've been a wrestling fan for 15 plus years but what they do not know is that I've been a Somali (aka a Black Muslim person) my entire life so talking about this documentary is going to be a little more personal, to say the least. And look, I know this is the part where I insert my usual wit and fart jokes but you're not gonna see less of that because this is a serious topic (and you know it's serious when I mentioned my ethnicity) about representation and the shared struggle across every single black performer featured in this documentary. From the press release, Wrestling With Whiteness "focuses on sharing the stories of Black folx and their experience in the wrestling community. Using a combination of interviews with Black wrestlers and Black content creators, Wrestling With Whiteness uncovers the unique experiences of Black people in the industry and the rise of representation for performers and fans around th...

WWE RAW 11/2/19 | My Coherent Review.

This go home show makes me wanna go home if I was an attendance of this show. In other words, RAW wasn't good and here's why. Opening Segment. The show started off with The Authority. A stable that I actually don't mind but that a different topic. Anyways, they run down the Elimination Chamber PPV card. After that, The Man Becky Lynch came out and Triple H said that he will lift the suspension if Becky apologizes to both him and Stephanie. Becky then told Stephanie to shut her face and she refused to apologize. The segment ended with Hunter giving her two choices. Either Becky apologizes to them or Becky's WrestleMania match is off. Compared to the segments on RAW and Smackdown last week, this was underwhelming. Sasha and Bayley vs Liv Morgan and Sarah Logan vs Nia Jax and Tamina. Loser enters first in the Elimination Chamber match. The match was fine. During the match, Bayley delivered two stunners on the ...
