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.

AEW Dynamite Blood And Guts | A Coherent Review.

Another watchable episode of AEW Dynamite but this time, it features the first-ever Blood And Guts encounter. Kenny Omega And Michael Nakazawa vs Jon Moxley And Eddie Kingston.  Don Callis announced that Michael Nakazawa is going to face Mox and Kingston all by himself only for Kenny Omega to show up and compete in the match anyway.  A weird booking choice but I'm just nitpicking.  What wasn't weird was how the match ended with a double team dragon suplex into a clothesline from the duo of Mox and Kingston to Nakazawa.  Then, a beatdown ensued from Omega's Posse to Jonny Mox and Eddie Kingston. The Young Bucks vs Jon Moxley and Eddie Kingston? I'm down.  It was revealed later in the night that a number one contenders match for the AEW championship is set up for next week's show between Orange Cassidy and Pac. I'm assuming AEW is saving the Hangman Page and Kenny Omega encounter for All Out?  Either way, AEW has the potential to tell an interesting story of ...

WWE Wrestlemania 37 Night 2 | A Coherent Review.

The second and final night of Wrestlemania 37 was to quote a popular word, "mid".  A few good wrestling matches were the highlight of the night but even then, it didn't stand out as hard as some of the matches the previous night.  ( Check out the review of night 1 here ).  Images via WWE.com The hosts of this year's Wrestlemania made their presence once again and the Hulkster was booed out of the building. That is awesome to hear #F**kHulkHogan.  Randy Orton vs "The Fiend" Bray Wyatt. Randy Orton with white trunks just doesn't feel right to me but it is what it is, I guess.  The Fiend's entrance looked f'ing cool even though the dude has healing powers now like he's Katara from the Last Airbender or some sh*t.  Oh, and the stupid red lights are back! I'm so, so, so, so happy! Just when I thought that WWE got rid of the stupid red lights last year.   Alexa Bliss kinda looked like Senua From the Hell Blade game with the black liquid dripped...

WWE Wrestlemania: Backlash 2021 | A Coherent Review.

Wrestlemania: Backlash or as I like to call it, Backlashimania, gets an enthusiastic thumbs up for me. I enjoyed the hell out of this PPV overall.  Images via WWE.com The opening intro was narrated by the greatest of all time, Batista and it was straight badass despite the fact it was pretty much a promotion for Zack Snyder's new film, Army Of The Dead.  If you've read my about page, then you'll know that I ain't talking about Zack Snyder movies because his fans are…… never mind.  Rhea Ripley vs Charlotte Flair vs Asuka For The RAW Women's Championship.  Charlotte with the Cruella De Vil inspired ring gear was to quote Dolph Ziggler's old theme song, "perfection". The opening bout was fast-paced, high octane action that didn't have a slow/dull moment.  All of these women utilized quick grapples and strikes to their advantage.  Charlotte was this close to capturing the title but she was pushed to the outside, nailed the riptide to Asuka and that...
