WWE RAW 23/7/18 | My Coherent Review.


RAW was once again, a skippable show that did nothing to gain excitement for summerslam. Why you ask? Well i'm gonna give you what's good. Scratch that, I'm gonna give you what's ok and what's bad. Without further a do, on with the review. 



WHAT'S OK

My Opinions on WWE Evolution PPV Announcement 

Triple H asks the women to step forward...
I'm i excited? No. However, do i completely hate the idea of a all women's PPV? Not at all. What do i mean by this? Well i said on twitter (*cough* follow me on twitter @omar_playa) basically is that this show could be a success or a failure.  Now the women's royal rumble match and the women's elimination chamber earlier this year have been very good so the in ring aspect of that show will do wonders. However, the evolution show will unfortunately be a glorified house show and again i don't mind it but i would like to see a certain storyline progress or add into the evolution show to give me a reason as to why i'm watching this show. 


The tag team title rematch

Match was fine. Exactly similar as extreme rules last week in terms of quality. The match ends with cutris pinning matt hardy with a crucifix pin to retain the tag titles. After the match, matt claps his hands to both cutris axel and bo dallas only to get beat up by matt and bray wyatt. I don't care and i hope this feud could get it over with. 

Bayley and Sasha are on the same page

This storyline is a roller coaster of emotions in the worst possible ways. One week i was intrigued with the beat down from bayley to sasha, the next week they were in counseling with doctor shellby and i hated it because they turned it into a comedy act. I'm glad they're friends again so that they can rebuild this storyline and hopefully creative does it the right way. 

Mickie james vs Natalya

Okay match. The match surprisingly ended with a win by mickie james and i like her armour looking attire. 

Bobby lashley vs Roman Reigns

Another decent match. Lashley hitting the spear got me to be honest. The match ends with roman hitting a spear of his own to win the number one contendership to face brock lesnar art summerslam and also repeat the same storyline that they gave us during wrestlemania season *sigh*. 

Seth rollins and Finn balor vs Drew Mcintyre and Dolph Ziggler

Decent match. Drew hitting the reverse Alabama slam to finn looked brutal. The match ends with the stomp delivered by seth to dolph to win the tag match. The match before this was a one on one match between drew and finn. The match ended in a DQ because dolph hit a lowblow to finn balor and then seth came to the rescue only for kurt to set up a tag match and i hate this formula. Now the reason why it isn't on what's bad is because both matches were decent but that doesn't mean i should let that aspect go. 


WHAT'S BAD


This segment

Now, i was enjoying this segment based on kevin owens's promo and hid reasoning as to why he's befriending with braun strowman but it went downhill from there. Out comes baron corbin assuming that he's announcing something that has to do with this feud and then jinder comes out and teaches braun his inner peace only to get his crap beat out strowman. This made jinder look stupid considering that he has to know what braun is capable of. Now a rematch between braun and owens is announced but if owens beats braun then he hold the money in the bank briefcase and it makes sense considering that he technically beat braun at extreme rules lat week.  Is it a ladder match or a one on one match? Will find out in the coming weeks. 

Titus worldwide confronts with the authors of pain

Why is this match happening? I get it creative are giving something for them to do however this is lazy writing at it's best. The match is probably gonna end up on the pre show. 


Mojo rawley vs Tyler breeze

If creative is building up mojo rawley as a serious competitor then why is he facing the same opponents over, over, again. He faced no way jose in what it feels like forever and now he faces breeze for the second time in a row. Do you see braun strowman in mid to late 2016 squash the same opponents over and over again? No. So why can mojo squash jobbers like a braun strowman in 2016. Again, i just don't get it even though i like this mojo rawley recenty. 

Ember moon vs liv morgan

Just like my opinion on mojo vs tyler breeze, why i'm i seeing this match again? Absolute LAZINESS by wwe creative. 

 Elias's concert gets interrupted so many times

Elias suddenly decides that he's too repulsed by those in attendance, and he makes his exit.
I get it they're promoting his album but the interruption feels completely unnecessary and doesn't add anything to the overall show. Either have him sing or don't do the whole thing.

WWE Eyeing On New Creative Writers.

Last week on RAW, The McMahon family announced that there will be new faces and fresh match ups. What better way to invoke change than to seek out new writers with different ideas right?  WWE are actively seeking for new writer's assistant positions with at least two years in writing television and or/ production experience and preferably but not necessary, a degree in Film/TV/Drama, Media Studies, Journalism, Communications, English, or related field of study.  For everyone who thinks they can do it better, here's your opportunity. Merry Christmas! https://t.co/FJch1rOXCM — Jimmy Korderas (@jimmykorderas) December 24, 2018 What do I think of this? As long as Vince is in charge, unfortunately, nothing is going to change for the better of the product but that's just me.  Let me know in the comments on how you would change the WWE product and follow the blog for honest pro wrestling opinions. Anyways, stay safe smarks. 

WWE RAW 13/9/21 | A Coherent Review.

Ya boy took a week off of talking about wrestling which is something I usually need after watching a single episode of Monday Night RAW but consistency is key, people!  In recent weeks, however, Monday Night RAW doesn't feel like mental torture and the latest episode is no exception.  Images via WWE.com Big E Was Like, "I'm Definitely Cashing In My Contract".  The lovable wholesome gyrating big man name Big E interacted with Randy Orton as well as Bobby Lashley ahead of the WWE title match between Bob and Randal.  The reason is obvious. Big E wants to cash in seeing Becky Lynch's mother again (that's not it?).  All lame jokes aside, the big man did cash in the contract to become the NEW WWE champion later in the episode after a successful title defence from Bobby Lashley against Randy Orton.  Words cannot describe how f**king happy I am seeing one of my favourite performers finally capture the gold which was long overdue if you ask me.  I will go as far as to

Top 3 BEST Distraction Finishes EVER!

Distraction endings to a wrestling match in WWE depend on one another if you think about it. It's like the peanut butter and jelly or the chicken and the basmati biryani rice or Dan Lambert and sexism.  "Why top 3", you may ask? Because one, I'm different and two, well, I'm different, so be gone to the mofos that think it's shorter than Brock Lesnar's bout with Kofi Kingston.  (WARNING: This piece is mostly sarcasm).  Daniel Bryan vs Sheamus. Wrestlemania 28.  I know this made your eyebrows raise as high as Rocky Maivia but think about this. The kiss from AJ Lee that led to a brogue kick from Sheamus, has in some way, led to the general audience seeing how Daniel Bryan should be WAY higher in the overall arc than where he was at that time.  Also, this was also the year where Bryan showed off his comedic chops with his "NO" catchphrase and his tag team run with the big red conservative, Kane.  If anything, this distraction finish was a great chara
