WWE RAW 16/7/18 | My Coherent Review.




RAW was for the most part, a skippable show. Why you ask? Well i'm gonna give you what's good, what's ok and what's bad. Now let's talk wrestling shall we?

WHAT'S GOOD


The first triple treat match

Now. The opening segment was a generic as hell other than heyman coming out because he had to address the whole universal title situation. However, the match itself was very good, especially near the end of the match. At one point, finn balor hits roman with the steel chair a couple of time which it would've looked brutal had roman not wear the vest. The match ends with roman hitting the superman punch to mcintyre and then hits a spear to balor winning the match to face bobby lashley. Their match at extreme rules was actually pretty good (you can click here for my in depth thoughts on extreme rules yesterday) and the match next week should be good to watch.  


Dolph Ziggler vs Bobby Roode

This was surprisingly, a good match. Their was a zig zag attempt by Ziggler and i thought the match was over but roode kicked out. Dolph wins with the superkick and i'm cautious optimistic about the whole intercontinental championship scene right now. 

The Final Triple Treat Match of the Night.   

Another good triple treat match. Just like roman reigns, bobby wins here with a spear and like i said earlier the match hopefully is going to be good. 

WHAT'S OK


Mojo Rawley vs Tyler Breeze 

WWE Photo
Complete squash match for the most part. Mojo wins with the alabama slam. I'm liking this mojo so far and i hope his intensity continues. 

B team vs The ascension

Meh match. The B teams win here and what do you expect really with them facing the ascension? A rematch is announced on RAW next week between B team and the deleter of worlds and yay? 

Ronda Rousey wants to destroy Alexa bliss

Overall a decent segment and it's get the job done to root for ronda. The match is offcial folks. Ronda rousey will indeed face alexa bliss for the RAW women's championship at summerslam and i'm kinda interested on how they're gonna do with this build next week. 

WHAT'S BAD


Ember moon vs Sarah logan

Now, the match itself was fine but the problem i have with this match is the finish. I feel like ember being not pinned since her main roster run in the long run, gives the general manager or whomever the champion is a reason as to why she's in contention for the RAW women's championship and WWE blew that thing away and it's unfortunate really.  

Authors of pain vs Titus worldwide

I've seen this exact same match with the exact same outcome. Authors of pain wins with the last chapter. I get it their giving them something to do but i would prefer a local jobber squas match then this to be honest. 

What the HELL is going on with this Storyline?

The title above say it all. Now the match was fine but i'm not liking this but also confused at the same time. OH MY GOD, the way sasha said "i love you" was worst than anything with roman and brock at wrestlemania season earlier this year. The dialog was fine but the execution was awful. Someone on twitter mention that this a lesbian storyline which i highly doubt it because you can love someone without being a couple if that makes sense. 



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

A Guide On How To Improve Wrestling Criticism Vol.2

Last spring, I wrote an article about how to critique pro wrestling better aka "a guide on how to improve wrestling criticism" . I got some positive takes on it but the question is, why did I produce the second edition?  Well, you have to thank the awful videos and articles that I, unfortunately, consumed but at least, I wrote down some notes that contained the number of bad critiques that I was passionately blasted down on.  Like I mentioned in last year's piece, I am just an average fan that doesn't claim to be an expert in any form of criticism because YouTube will definitely give you the "I'm right, you're wrong" type of content.  This is just a learning process for not only the viewers reading this but myself as we all are trying to get better.  Without further explanation, let's guide you  to a better critique in wrestling (at least I hope so) numbra dos.  #1. Focusing Too Much On Logic (and no, I'm not talking abou...

WWE Smackdown Live 24/9/18 | My Coherent Review.

Smackdown live was once again, a good show that did its job to build some hype for WWE super showdown. Now usually on my reviews, I give my thoughts on what's good, what's ok and what bad. However, I'm only gonna tell you what's good and what's ok for this review because I didn't find anything bad about this episode. Now let's talk wrestling, shall we?  WHAT'S GOOD The opening segment   Man, this opening segment was entertaining and I believe this is the first time since 2011 that R Truth has been featured a lot on WWE television. Look, I know some people who find the five-second dance break cringeworthy but I thought that was funny. That segment led to a match between The Miz and R Truth and if want to know my thoughts on the match itself then look below.  Rusev calls out Aiden English   Basically, this segment goes like this. Rusev calls out Aiden to explain himself for his actions last week. Aiden then comes out to the ring and...

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 ...
