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.

THE Coherent AEW Take: I Ain't Tellin' You No Lie, The Hook Brings You Back

PAGE AND BRYAN! HOOK! HOOK! HOOK! PAGE AND BRYAN! HOOK! HOOK! HOOK!  That's it. That's the intro.  Rampage.   Highlights.  HOOOOOOOOK!  I mean, I gotta support the man himself named Hook, DUHHH!  What can I say, I like a man that is built different, quick, agile and hard……..in professional wrestling, of course.  Suffice to say, Hook does something that Kalya Braxton doesn't and that is, making all biracials proud.  FTR vs Lucha Brothers for the AEW world tag team championship Two of the best tag teams I've ever witnessed as a wrestling fan (yes, they're THAT darn good) battling it out in an opening match so banging, not even your Beats headphone can replicate it, ya feel me?  The Lucha Brothers get to walk out of this episode of Rampage still as the reigning world tag champs.  Some Other Things That Happened.  Adam Cole defeated Wheeler Yuta - Adam Cole appreciation comment.  Dynamite.  Highlights.  Hangman Page...

Escape The Undertaker | A Short Coherent Review.

The internet. The only place where your YouTube recommended is filled with "I DON'T EVEN KNOW THAT'S PG".  It is also home to Netflix which released an interactive movie produced by future Raspberry award-winning movie studio, WWE films. Look, the idea of 3 black dudes being trapped inside a house by a white conservative dead hog, is offensive and by that description alone, you weren't sure for a sec whether you were watching Netflix or the Daily Wire.  Luckily, there wasn't a cameo from Tessa Blanchard so you should be fine.  As a fan of Mass Effect 2, I love some dialogue trees that alter the events of a movie/game.  And, from a functionality standpoint, it is a technical marvel how it gives the audience the illusion of choice (you know, like our current economic system).  I say "illusion" because therein lies the main problem I have with the film. Your choices don't matter here. Even in a WWE movie, they're still trying to avoid the fan...

WWE Smackdown Live 11/9/18 | My Coherent Review.

Smackdown live was overall a good show. Why you ask? Well, I'm gonna tell you what's good, what's ok and what's bad. Here we go.  WHAT'S GOOD Jeff Hardy vs Shinsuke Nakamura The promo before this was okay however that was a goooood match. Better than their in counter at SummerSlam. Jeff was about to beat Nakamura, however, randy outta nowhere pushes hardy on the outside hence Nakamura retains the championship and Jeff wins via DQ. They had a brawl that was better than the brawl last night on RAW I'll tell you that much.  Samoa Joe telling a bedtime story in a good not boring way.   I thought from the editing to the design of the book to the way Samoa Joe express the story was fantastic. The thing I LOVE about this is that it's a outside in the box type of promo package that worked. Man, I can't wait for this match. On Sunday night when the PPV airs, I think I'm gonna call my local "WENDYYYS" (My goodness that was awfu...
