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.

My Coherent Wrestling Wednesdays: Chris Jericho Offers Moxley To Join Inner Circle, The Go-Home Show Before Dec 18th.

I thought the middle act of AEW Dynamite suffered some pacing issues even though it was overall a much stronger show than last week's episode.  The latest episode of NXT, however, has built a solid foundation on what's to come on December 18th. The main question is, which show do I like better? The answer is AEW.  NXT  Highlights. Angel Garza vs Lio Rush For The NXT Cruiserweight Championship.  Was this match better than their first encounter? Like Snoop Dogg's verse in Sasha Banks' theme song, "Hell yea". Garza slams Rush hard on the ring apron by pushing the champ. Moments later, Garza delivers the Spanish Fly and Rush kicked out of that.  As Rush hits the frog splash, the champ wanted to pull him back in the middle of the ring but instead, he ripped off Garza's pants (nice attention to detail).  Angel then hits the wind clipper but Lio kicked out which led to a wind clipper submission and the man of the hour tapped out which m...

The 5 News Week: An Interview With ROH's Eli Isom, Fans Singing Petitions For Charlotte Flair Not Winning Titles Anymore!?

Hello, my fellow wrestling fans and welcome to the 5 news week. The post where I report 5 major or minor news of the week that I don't have time to do it separately. Without further ado, here are the 5 news week. An Interview With ROH's Eli Isom.  Yes. After several and several and several of The 5 News Week articles that I've been putting out since late 2018, I finally got an interview for you guys.  The person in question is Ring Of Honour's Eli Isom. Since graduating from the ROH Dojo, Isom has worked and learned from the absolute best in the industry:  "I’m lucky that I got a chance to train from scratch with ROH, without that kind of training who knows where I’d be right now." So, without further ado, here is the conversation I had with Eli.  Omar: My first question is, how would you describe the persona of "Eli Isom" to resident WWE shills like myself? Eli Isom: For me, my wrestling persona isn’t too far off from who I real...

A Brief Guide To Pro Wrestling Websites.

So. You just become a fan of pro wrestling and have dabbled into the fandom for a bit (it's a mess ain't it?) You've just followed some news sites' social media platforms but aren't sure whether the articles they put out are accurate or not.  Well, you got the right guy to solve that problem if it's from a blog that barely gets any traction (that would be me in case you were confused).  The news we get from the medium that is pro wrestling is an integral part of the online space.  The reason being is that it's not only a great conversation starter but you could also learn something new today about the industry you love.  That doesn't mean that all of the news you see on the timeline is reliable.  I'm here to hopefully give you a guide to wrestling sites.  There are many wrestling websites out there but I wanna highlight some of the notable ones.  Okay? Here we go.  #1: Wrestling Observer Newsletter aka F4WOnline.  I can't talk about a guide t...
