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 RAW 19/11/18 | My Coherent Review.

As usual, RAW was terrible. Why you ask? Well, I’m gonna tell you what’s good, what’s ok and what’s bad. However, this time it’s only what’s bad and what's okay because you know why. Here we go.  WHAT'S BAD The opening segment RAW starting off with a bland, boring, formulaic (in a bad way) and generic opening segment and the unfortunate thing is that this formula ain’t ending anytime soon. Now, they announced officially a match between Braun Strowman and Baron Corbin in a Tables, Ladders and Chairs match but with one condition given to both participants of that match.  If Baron Corbin wins then he’s permanently the RAW general manager. If Braun Strowman wins then he’s facing Brock Lesnar for the Universal Championship at the Royal Rumble. Corbin then made a six-man tag match and Stephanie McMahon made it the opening match of this show and speaking of which……   WHAT’S OK Braun Strowman, Finn Balor and Elias vs Baron Corbin, Bobby Lashley and ...

How Naomi's Royal Rumble 2020 Return SHOOK Black Twitter.

If you haven't been watching WWE for 10+ years, well first off, why are you here and secondly, can I be like you because I'm jealous?  Let me recap who Naomi is. She is a wrestler, actor, dancer, singer and a former women's champion who's been with WWE for 10 years.  In other words, Naomi is a future EGOT winner and you cannot tell me otherwise.  Thanks to her persona that resonated with the audience whether as a heel or a babyface, she has built up a following that is "ride or die" for the former funkadactyl aka stans which I am a part of.  Why? Because if there's one thing I have in common with Stan Twitter is that we love to call white people "ageing at the speed of crack".  She may be throwing glow sticks like an early 2010s Ellie Goulding music video, but she's a capable talent that can hang with the best of the best.  But, you read the title. This ain't about a career retrospect about Naomi (although I don't mind doing so), but ...

The 5 News Week: Is Rey Mysterio RETIRING!?

Hello, my fellow wrestling fans and welcome to the 5 news week. The post where I report 5 major or minor pro wrestling news, rumours and spoilers of the week that I don't have time to do it separately. Without further ado, here are the 5 news week.  The IIconics SUPPOSED to APPEAR at The Women's Royal Rumble!?  Admittedly, this piece of news is a week and a half old but you may think it isn't all that bad.  Well, because of how the wrestling news cycle moves faster than an MCU Disney Plus show, this story might as well be 5,000 years old.  From Fightful Selectrinos , the current Impact knockouts tag team champions were offered to be part of this year's stinker that was the Royal Rumble show, more specifically the women's Royal Rumble match but they refused.  Mustafa Ali Has A YEAR LEFT In His CONTRACT!?  My man Mustafa Ali be begging for his WWE release like Oliver Twist (can't blame the guy, I guess).  And kinda bad news I guess for the talented ...
