WWE RAW 2/7/18 | My Coherent Review.



RAW was overall a skippable show that does offer me as a fan of professional wrestling, a piss poor build to extreme rules. Why you may ask? Well i'm gonna tell you what's good, what's ok and what's bad. Let's talk wrestling shall we? 



WHAT'S GOOD


Ember moon so far

Now the match was fine but the reason why i'm putting in what's good is because since her main roster debut, she hasn't been pinned at all in the ring. That's awesome and even though she isn't been in a major storyline yet, she has impressed me a lot and trust me she will challenge whomever the RAW women's champion is later down the road. 


The tag match between Roman Reigns and Seth Rollins vs Dolph Ziggler and Drew McIntyre

That match was surprising good. The match ends with the revival costing reigns the wins which i will get there by the way. Now they announced that seth rollins will indeed face dolph ziggler for the intercontinental championship in a 30 minute iron man which is the only match i'm looking forward to besides the WWE title match. The only nitpick i have for this announcement is that shouldn't this match be a 60 minute iron man match considering that every PPV going forward is 4 hours long? Like i said, i'm only nitpicking. 



WHAT'S OK

I thought this match would happen at extreme rules but i was wrong. The match ends with both men delivering the final chapter to apollo crews. Again, a TOTAL squash match.


Curtis axel vs woken matt hardy

The whole B team imitating their opponents thing is getting old but anyways the match was ok. Curtis wins with the Axehole and yes that's what's his finish called. You're welcome. 


Nia jax vs Mickie james 


Again this match ended with a Samoan drop. Now the offical stipulation for this match is a Extreme rules match. I'm personally not invested in this feud.

Is it just me or is it this final segment of the show feels like a parody of the roman reigns vs braun strowman feud last year? Anyways, if this is trying to making me feel some sympathy towards kevin owens then they did their job. Another match between those two will happen at extreme rules possibly in a gimmick match. 


WHAT'S BAD  


Bayley and sasha banks in counseling 


Why? Why? Why's this happening? You're taking this intense feud and decided to make it a comedy act? Do you see William regal tell Johnny gargano and tomasso ciampa to go to counseling? Again i ask, WHY!? And i forgot to mention that this segment sucked. 



Baron corbin demands an apology

Corbin believes everyone needs help reaching their full potential…

No baron. I and many others who watched this unfortunately, demand an apology for this awful segment. Watching batman and robin for a 5 time is more entertaining than whatever the hell this segment is and unfortunately this is leading up to a finn balor vs baron corbin match at extreme rules. Wow, what happened to finn balor really? 



Mojo rawley refuses to face no way jose

Now i mentioned in my review a couple of weeks ago that mojo looked good in this new intense persona but you're not gonna make me care if you're making mojo refusing to face no way jose AGAIN. 



This again

Now i respect roman for being in two matches but i ask, why i'm i seeing this for the third week in a row? Micheal cole mentioned that the reason why this match is happening is because the revival asked for it which doesn't make one tiny bit sense considering that they beat them last week. Roman is gonna face bobby lashley one on one at extreme rules and i once again with this terrible build to extreme rules , don't give a single crap about this feud. At least on the RAW side.

WWE NXT 2.0 14/9/21 | A Coherent Review.

NXT 2.0 or as I like to call it, NXT "I'M DIFFERENT" edition.  Let's get the positives out of the way. I like the set and the way it compliments NXT's new water multicolour look. In a world with main roster WWE and its giant screen, the presentation definitely stood out.  The entrance stage set also gave me a bit of a Wrestlemania 27 vibes and because of it, I'm always going to remind myself of that dogsh*t of a PPV so that's definitely a negative.  The main question is, Was the inaugural episode of NXT "third times the charm" edition any good?  Yes. The main thing NXT did right is how they showcase some of the newer faces on the brand.  There were a few head-scratching moments but as a whole, I enjoyed the episode.  Images via WWE.com Bron Breakker vs LA Knight.  We all know that Bron Breakker is an awful name (Bronson Rechsteiner was perfectly fine) but my God, that dude has the LOOK!   I mean, if I had to choose to rebrand myself in WWE, I...

WWE Clash Of Champions 2019 | My Coherent Review.

This Clash of Champions show was one enormous meh. Also, AJ Styles in the pre-show? That's a first but that match was pretty decent as well as the cruiserweight championship match.  Seth Rollins And Braun Strowman vs Dolph Ziggler And Robert Roode For The RAW Tag team Championship.  During this tag team title match, Ziggler hits a devastating looking DDT to Seth Rollins outside the ring. The odd couple then delivered quick tag team moves but moments later Rollins reversed Ziggler's sleeper hold into a falcon arrow to which Rollins tagged Braun Strowman and took out Ziggler and Roode for a bit.  This match has ended with a Glorious DDT from Robert Roode to Seth Rollins after Braun accidentally knocked out Rollins and Ziggler threw the monster among men over the top rope.  A decent opener with a predictable ending that I don't mind. Maybe a triple threat match between the odd couple, The Viking Raiders and The O.C in Gallows and Anderson for the tag ...

RUMOUR: Dolph Ziggler Done With WWE?

Holy crap, so many reports of wrestlers possibly leaving WWE. Anyways, according to Mike Johnson over at PWInsider , the show off is done with WWE. He, by the way, was given a producer role but turned down that offer and also wasn't at WWE's live events in recent weeks. Ziggler is expected to be on a comedy tour soon and his sources claim that Dolph's contract expires on 31/1.   What do I think of this? I feel like he's done pretty much everything with WWE and if this is official, I wouldn't be mad about it.  What do you guys think of this?
