WWE RAW 9/7/18 | My Coherent Review.

Strowman has been unstoppable over the last one year.

The go home show for RAW was surprisingly ok considering that the past few RAWs has been terrible. Why you ask? Well, i'm gonna give you what's good, what's ok and what's bad. Let's talk wrestling shall we?

WHAT'S GOOD

The main event

This was a great match with countless near falls and it had an unpredictable finish. What do i mean by this? Well matches like "if X wrestler beats Y wrestler then he's banned from ringside at Wrestlemania" or something and the babyface using wins but not this match and i really appreciate that even though WWE hasn't impressed me that much overall. Drew wins with the claymore. Again, great stuff by both men.

Mojo rawley as of late

Yes i put his segments with no way jose on what's bad. However, he has showed intensity and seriousness to his character and if he keeps on winning matches and gaining some momentum like becky over on Smackdown Live then we might see a great side of mojo rawley. And mojo wins with a devastating Alabama slam.

WHAT'S OK

Nia jax and Natalya vs Alexa bliss and Micke james

The match was ok. Nia wins with a leg drop to mickie james. I honestly again, don't give a shit about this feud. Just ended it and have ronda face alexa bliss at summerslam please?

Woken matt hardy vs Bo dallas

Bo dallas and cutris axel's impression as their opponents this sunday is getting old and boring. The match was fine, nothing groundbreaking or anything like that. Bo wins with a swinging neckbreaker.

Baron corbin and elias vs Bobby roode and Finn Balor

By the way, what's going on with finn balor? Why is he smiling all the time? That's the questions i asked to myself ever single week for the past few months now. Anyways, the match was fine (that's WWE creative looking at the horrendous segment last week with finn balor and baron corbin. "Oh it's fine"). Baron corbins with with the end of days. Hoping finn balor moves on from this.

Kevin owens hiding from Braun strowman

This feud in my humble opinion, makes kevin owens sympathetic and makes braun look like a dick at that's the problem with this feud. The match itself should be interesting.

WHAT'S BAD

Ember moon vs Liv morgan

Why am i seeing this match AGAIN? WHY? WHY? WHY? Anyways, i'm loving ember moon so far but wouldn't be better if she faced sarah logan instead? That's what i called it a BOOKING HOLE similar to a plot hole in movies/television shows.

Roman reigns brawls with Bobby lashley

Instead, Reigns and Lashley start throwing haymakers!

Look, i'm not putting this on what's bad because "i hate roman therefore i shit whenever he's on a segment/match". It's because it feels like i've seen this before. It's feels so similar to his brawl with Triple H a couple of years ago and both brawls ended with roman delivering a suicide dive to half of the RAW roster including lashley himself. But hey, at least the video of the opening brawl got 1.5 million views as of writing this. Meaning that, at least somebody enjoys it but that doesn't mean that i have to enjoy this.

What do you think about RAW's go home show this week? And yes i'm working on a predictions blog post of extreme rules so subscribed to this blog to get honest pro wrestling opinions. Follow me on twitter @omar_playa and stay safe smarks.

Top 7 Best NXT Takeover Theme Songs.

Everbody likes to put on some good music. You like good music. Your friends and family like good music. However, what makes a song good is completely subjective but in my opinion, NXT are nailing it with their takeover theme songs and I'm ranking them on a glorified subjective form of content and that is list videos/articles or in my case a top seven list. Without further ado, Here are my top seven best NXT takeover theme songs. 7. Serpents by Neck Deep The reason why I like this song so much is that it gives me some early 2000s punk rock which by listening to this song, it feels like they're paying a homage to that era. overall a good listen that depending on how old you are will give a nostalgic feel like I did. 6. Ace Of Spades by Motörhead Now, l like me some Motörhead. Triple H's current theme and the evolution theme song is some of my favourite theme music of all time and this is no exception. The only critique I have for this song ...

The 5 News Week Look-Back: Batista's Match With Triple H At Wrestlemania 35 Supposed To Be A Hell In A Cell!?, A Look Back At Eric Bischoff's Role As Executive Director.

Hello, my fellow wrestling fans and welcome to the 5 News Week where I usually report on the 5 major or minor news of the week but I'm not doing that here if you can't tell from the graphic I made (you're welcome, by the way). But Rather, all throughout December, I'm going to look back at some of the news that came out in 2019. The start of a new decade is going to be upon us in the coming days and that can be exciting especially for the future of the wrestling business as a whole. I hope you guys celebrate the new year's day and of course, drink responsibly. Fans Frustration Over The Booking Of The Main Roster Women's Division. I wrote an article earlier this year about why women's wrestling in world wrestling entertainment of the year 2018 was great (which you can click here to read the whole thing). However, it seems like the year after (2019) was the exact opposite. Now, they did rebound the quality of storytelling in the women's div...

Wrestling With Whiteness | A Documentary Sorely Needed.

Here's the thing. My 2 viewers will know that I've been a wrestling fan for 15 plus years but what they do not know is that I've been a Somali (aka a Black Muslim person) my entire life so talking about this documentary is going to be a little more personal, to say the least. And look, I know this is the part where I insert my usual wit and fart jokes but you're not gonna see less of that because this is a serious topic (and you know it's serious when I mentioned my ethnicity) about representation and the shared struggle across every single black performer featured in this documentary. From the press release, Wrestling With Whiteness "focuses on sharing the stories of Black folx and their experience in the wrestling community. Using a combination of interviews with Black wrestlers and Black content creators, Wrestling With Whiteness uncovers the unique experiences of Black people in the industry and the rise of representation for performers and fans around th...
