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

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.

Should Dave Meltzer Get Rid Of His Rating System?

So a few weeks ago, good old Dave Meltzer of the wrestling observer newsletter gave the Kazuchika Okada vs Kenny omega match at dominion 2018 a 7-star rating. According to the interent wrestling database , this match is by far his HIGHEST match rating ever (i don't blame him because the match was amazing). So statistically, this is his favourite match of all time . Now, why I'm writing this now?  Well, his best match ratings have been a consistent 5 stars since 1983 with the exception of all the Omega vs Okada matches and the Mitsuharu Misawa vs Toshiaki Kawada match at AJPW's Budokan hall show in June of 1994.  There are fans that take his match ratings as an offence somehow like "Why he rates X match better than Y match?" or thinks that he "hates" WWE which is ridiculous considering that he gave three WWE matches a 5 star ratings just this past year. One was the ladder match to crown the first ever NXT North American champion, the Johnny Garga...

WWE Smackdown Live 10/7/18 | My Coherent Review.

Smackdown live was a bad show that did nothing as a wrestling fan to gain any excitement for extreme rules. Why you ask? Well i'm gonna give you what's good. No scratch that, i'm gonna give you what's ok and what's bad. Here we go. WHAT'S OK The opening segment and the brawl after that The opening segment was meh. And the brawl after that was fine. Didn't make me go "OHHHHHHHHHHH" or anything like along those lines. That brawl leads to a TEN MAN TAG TEAM match (Ummmmmm no shit omar). I will say this, the segment kinda teased the fact that maybe kane will turn on his best friend? I don't know. Should be interesting.  Andrade "cien" almas vs Sin cara The match was surprisingly decent. At one point andrade delivered a devastating stomp to sin cara on the ring apron. Andrade wins with a running knee to sin cara on the middle rope. Hoping andrade can move on to bigger and better things.  WHAT'S BAD ...

WWE Smackdown Live 19/2/19 | My Coherent Review.

This show was overall, a skippable show just like RAW yesterday and here's why.  Opening segment.  The show kicked off with Shane McMahon with his usual cheap pop. After that, Shane McMahon announced that Aleister Black, Johnny Gargano, Ricochet and Tommaso Ciampa will be on SmackDown Live just like RAW last night (click here to read my RAW review).  Out came The Miz and he said that he hasn't stop thinking about their match at Elimination Chamber. Miz also said he admitted that he used Shane because Miz wanted to make Shane McMahon understand where's Miz's coming from.  Miz then wanted a rematch between him, Shane McMahon and the Usos for the SmackDown Live tag team championship to which the Usos came out and insulted The Miz.  That led to Shane McMahon saying that the rematch is on but at Fastlane in two weeks. So we got the first official match scheduled for Fastlane and considering that Shane is a McMahon and has all the Authority, I do...
