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 Smackdown 14/2/20 | My Coherent Review.

Last night was my 2nd anniversary of pumping out written content on this site and I thought since this show has delivered 6 or sometimes 3 out of 10s for 4 months now, I've written some lyrics about my thoughts on Smackdown in the style of the current song opening for the blue brand.  If you wanna put the instrumental version of ACDC's Are You Ready while reading this then that's cool too.  *Cue the intro* Are you Ready?  Are you ready for mediocrity! Then, get ready for disappointment.  No one needs it.  No one needs it.  No one needs it.   Even Bischoff.  Are you ready for mediocrity! *ends with some guitar solos*.  The lyrics may suck but it is at least better than whatever the hell Justin Bieber meant when he sang his current single "Yummy".  Now, on with the review. The Return Of A Moment Of Bliss (Unlike The Return Of The Dirt Sheets, Nobody Really Cares).  Both Bliss...

The 5 News Week: A Ric Flair Biopic In The Works!?, AEW Has A "Back-up" Plan Unless They Can't Film Shows.

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. A Ric Flair Biopic In The Works!?   Movies about notable figures are interesting because the actor is essentially portraying a real-life character and depending on the subject matter, it is surreal to think that moment actually happened in real life.  It's no secret that biopics do get some award buzz and in most cases, they win major categories particularly in the acting side. A biopic that could be interesting is based on a person who goes by the name of Ric Flair.  The nature boy spoke with SiriusXM Busted Open and he specifically mentioned that WWE along with The Rock (assuming it's his production team that's involved) are working a movie about him (from The Score ): "I talked to Dwayne and Dany Garcia ... and Hiram Garcia and they'r...

Let's Talk About The State Of Wrestlemania 37.

I usually save those kinds of pieces for my weekly news series, The 5 News Week due to how modern this subject is and how my essays usually dwell on the past.  Usually, it is too early to talk about an upcoming Wrestlemania in October but not this time especially since we're still in a pandemic.  This is a topic I've been thinking about all month and I had to write my thoughts on it.  Let's answer this question right away whether Wrestlemania 37 will happen in SoFii stadium next year?  from CBS Los Angeles The answer is an obvious no. But, I want to try to dig deeper and see exactly where we stand today.  As of me writing this, Wrestlemania: Hollywood edition is still scheduled to take place in SoFi stadium despite an outlet that shall not be named, claiming otherwise.  This is either sheer blind optimism or downright idiotic from Dubya, Dubya E.  WrestleVotes did mention back in July that while the event is still going to take place in the stadium,...
