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.

WWE RAW 5/8/19 | My Coherent Review.

This episode of RAW didn't prepare the biggest party of the summer very well and detailed but if I was a party planner, I'll give this a pass.  After the entire WWE paid tribute to the horrific mass shooting in El Paso, Texas and Dayton, Ohio with a ten bell salute, an opening intro has been played for the first time in a year and then, Samoa Joe cut a promo on the announce table shouting loud and clear that he had nothing to do with the end segment last week on SmackDown Live.  That was a different way to open the show and I absolutely love it. Short, quick and to the point.  Becky Lynch and Charlotte Flair vs Natalya and Trish Stratus.  During the match, Natalya locked Lynch in the sharpshooter and not letting go of that hold after Becky caught the middle to break the hold which caused the match to end in a DQ. Trish tried to separate Nattie to which Nattie herself purposely pushed Trish.  Rey Mysterio vs Andrade.  Completely un...

The 5 New Week's 2nd Anniversary And What I've Learned From Writing About News.

WHAT? A second 5 News Week article of the week? Preposterous.  The reason why I'm writing this is that 2 years ago to this day, October 28th 2018 was the inaugural 5 News Week piece.  I thought to celebrate this day, I want to share to all of the young, aspiring news writers what I've learned from the 2 years I've been writing pro wrestling news  (which has mostly been WWE news because let's be real, I am the resident WWE shill).  Here we go.  Stock images via pexels.com #1: Research And Fact-Checking.  When approaching a piece of news that comes to your news feed, it is important to research the news piece itself so that you're giving the viewer/reader a context as to what's happening.  Which is why your favourite talk show programs like Last Week Tonight, values their research team to analyze the world around them and what can be done through history.  Another reason as to why research is valuable for information is, of course, fact-checking....

The 5 News Week: What's With The Story Of WWE Will Possibly Put Their Content On A Different OTT?

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.  This past week was filled with news so  fasten your virtual seat belts because this is gonna be a long one. Without further ado, here are The 5 News Week.  What's With The Story That WWE Will Possibly Put Their Content On A Different OTT?  This confusion all started when some fans (including myself) saw the headline from a well-respected publication "WWE In Talks Talks to Sell PPV Rights to Another ‘Major’ Streaming Service." That publication is The Wrap and the article pretty much talked about what Vinne Mac said in the Q4 2019 earnings report about the possibility of putting their content to a major streaming service or enhance the prize point to a tiered payment but the deal to quote The Wrap " if made — would be announced by next month.". Did the old man say this? Let...
