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

... and Lashley impresses!
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.

WWE RAW 1/8/22 | A Coherent Review.

With Triple H making some changes for the overall WWE creative process and the end of the "Jeff Jarrett weekend", I gotta make some changes as well (at least for the site) because this is going to be the last solo RAW review since I'm going to combine both of my thoughts on RAW and Smackdown called "the cohesive WWE perspective".  So yeah, how was RAW? Well, It was one of the best episodes I've seen in a VERY long time. I guess no more, " RAW Is as insane and bad as the current season of Riverdale" jokes, right?  Becky remembered who she was during her encounter with Bianca Belair.  That promo ruled and as a guy that didn't like her heel run all that much since her comeback last year, I gotta say that I'm glad she's going back babyface due to the fact that heel Bex was so vanilla for my liking.  After Bianca showed some respect to the man, the new trio known as Io Sky, Dakota Kai and Bayley attacked Becky's injured shoulder.  They a...

WWE Wrestlemania 38 Night One | A Coherent Review.

Another year, another BIG, ENORMOUS, HUMONGOUS, THE BBC OF PROFESSIONAL WRESTLING AND MOST STUUUUUPENDOUS Wrestlemania.  And how was the first night of Wrestlemania? It was prettay, prettay, pretty good. By far the best Wrestlemania I’ve ever covered in almost 4 years of doing the “wrestling media” grind.  So, Elliot Moore narrated this year's opening video and it's decent. Eh, at least it's better than whatever the hell Mile 22 was.  The Usos vs Shinsuke Nakamura And Rick Boogs For The SmackDown Tag Team Championship.  A solid way to kick off this year's "Endgame" of WWE storytelling. Rick Boogs' knee gave out after a double fireman's carry attempt (get well soon, Ricky). The match ended with a 1D to *Boog's voice* Shinsuke NAKAMURAAAAAAAAAA!  The household of the tribal chief must be really happy and no, I'm not referring to the Usos' cooking. This division is as dead as the creativity of WWF 1995 so I don't know where the blue tag be...

WWE Smackdown 26/11/21 | A Coherent Review.

This episode of Smackdown is a great example of the words, "unnoteworthy" and "skip that sh*t" because damn, nothing actually happened here.   Images via WWE.com   Roman Was Like, "Rumours Give Losers False Hope".  That statement above didn't make it clear whether it's about his next challenger or the fact that he's talking sh*t about the folks that wanted all three spidermen in the upcoming No Way Home movie.  A pretty minimal opening segment that wasn't too noteworthy but it did solidify the effectiveness of Roman's words.  Drew McIntyre And Jeff Hardy vs Happy Corbin And Madcap Moss.  Speaking of things that aren't noteworthy. The good guys won. Cool.  Ridge Holland vs Cesaro.  Nothing screams WWE writing than some good old fashioned 50/50 booking. I will say, those two guys so far, have pretty good chemistry as seen by a good bout. Cesaro won with a roll-up (aka the most protective move in all of professional wrestling).  Rick B...
