WWE RAW 27/8/18 | My Coherent Review.


RAW was a decent show in my opinion. Not a great show but not an offensive episode to watch. Why you ask? Well, I'm gonna give you what's good, what's ok and what's bad. Here we go.  

WHAT'S GOOD. 

The opening segment

Mr. Monster in the Bank mocks Reigns for getting “his boys” to protect him last week.

I really like this segment. Roman Reigns has held up pretty well on the mic in my opinion. Braun Strowman announcing his cash in for the championship at a hell in a cell match.  Dolph and Drew coming out and baron announcing a tag match was generic RAW stale formula but it was a good way to start the show in my opinion. 

Seth Rollins vs Owens

First off, what a promo by Kevin Owens bro.  So good especially when he spoke French and pissed off the Toronto crowd. Absolute GOLD. The match was FREAKING FANTASTIC in my opinion. 

Seth delivering a triple suicide dives looks awesome, Kevin Owens doing a brutal looking crossface, Kevin Owens delivering a stunner to Seth.  So many near falls. 

The match ends with Owens missing a moonsault and Seth immediately delivered the curb stomp, puns Owens to the count of three and retains the championship. Again, what a match. After the match, Kevin took the microphone and declares that he quits. I don't what was that but it is interesting. 

Elias Concert

Elias was you know, doing his thing until Trish Stratus returns and their interaction was GOLD but that let to a Natalya and Alicia Fox match which I talked about it if you scroll down to my what's ok. 

WHAT'S OK

Baron Corbin vs Finn Balor

It makes sense that he made the match considering that he's been asking for Kurt Angle the match last week and him losing clean to the demon at SummerSlam. 

The match itself was decent but the Toronto crowd made me laugh with their chants like "Corbin sucks" and "you can't wrestle". The match ended in a DQ but Corbin restarted the match into a no DQ and wins the match quickly with an end of days. 

What if the match has a stipulation that if baron loses then he loses his active GM role or something like make it interesting in order to make this feud have a somewhat satisfying conclusion. 

Sasha Banks vs Dana Brooke

I thought Bayley looks ridiculous with that glasses but the match itself was quick. Sasha wins with the bank statement. 

The B team vs The Revival

Forgettable match. The revival wins the match but they did cut a good promo about the tag division. 

Natalya vs Alicia Fox

The match was quick. Natalya wins with the sharpshooter. A backstage segment happen between Trish, Ronda, Natalya and the Bella twins and they (the Bella twins)  are back for in-ring action next week against the riott squad and all I can say is meh. 

WHAT'S BAD

Dean Ambrose vs Jinder Mahal

Man this match of RAW is a great example of why the third hour is a straight ZZZZZZ. Dean wins with the dirty deeds. 

Bobby Lashley vs The Ascension

First off, how's facing the ascension in any way a "punishment" for Lashley. Anyways, Bobby Lashley wins with the dominator.

The match was meh but that ending was infuriating. One of the WORST Ending I've seen all year. Really, Braun Strowman turns heel? What a backwards thinking by creative. Why? Why? Why? Why? This was so damn stupid. You know you can build that match with both guys being babyfaces right? 

Sounds off in the comments below on what do you think about RAW last night and follow the blog for honest pro wrestling opinions. Anyways, stay safe smarks.

NXT Takeover: In Your House 2020 | A Coherent Review.

NXT Takeover: In Your House is like the rest of the Takeover shows, a fantastic 2 hours of professional wrestling.  What makes this show special is the additional nostalgia like how the show started with the NXT WWF inspired intro, the ice cream commercial narrated by William Regal doing his best Lord Alferd Hayes impression, icopro commercial and last but not least, Todd Pettengill.  This is a show that I'm definitely rewatching in years to come.  Mia Yim, Tegan Nox And Shotzi Blackheart vs Raquel Gonzalez, Candice LeRae And Dakota Kai.  A decent opening match. During the match, Nox did a Molly Holly top rope on to every competitor in the match.  Yim tried to give LeRae some Seoul Food but LeRae reversed that into a suplex. Several minutes later, Shotzi did a Salida Del Sol of some sort on Gonzalez to which Nox delivered the shiniest wizard on Kai and won the match.  Finn Balor vs Damian Priest. I actually thought that the closing mo...

WWE Smackdown Live 28/8/18 | My Coherent Review.

Overall, Smackdown Live was better than RAW in terms of having a somewhat good ending. Why you ask? Well, I'm gonna give you what's good, what's ok and the bad parts about this show were none in my opinion. Without further ado, this is my coherent, honest review of this week's Smackdown Live.  WHAT'S GOOD    New day's celebration  You have the new day celebration with their interaction with booker T and the addition of the spinaroonie or the spinaroonie, in this case, was entertaining and an odd but amusing opening segment.  Daniel Bryan vs Andrade "Cien" almas   Daniel Bryan's promo with Brie Bella by his side was like the Naomi vs Billie Kay match, it was there. However, the match itself was pretty good in my opinion. That chop by almas looked brutal bro like damn. Daniel Bryan wins Via DQ by miz beating him, almas hitting the hammerlock DDT, Maryse hitting a brutal looking DDT to brie bella and then miz hitting the skull cru...

WWE RAW 21/10/19 | My Coherent Review.

I like this episode of Monday Night RAW. Probably one of the best episodes of RAW all year and I will also say that 2019 has been a great year for Monday Night RAW. I can only count one hand on how many episodes of RAW I actually hated.  Ric Flair Reveals The Final Member of His Team. The nature boy started off this episode and I thought I've time jumped to 03 but I realized that he's the coach of his team at Crown Jewel and I said to myself "ohhhhhh".  Ric Flair reveals the final member and that person is none other than the returning Drew McIntyre. Drew tells his captain that he's going to give him a preview of what he's going to do at Crown Jewel. That preview is a match between the Scottish psychopath and Ricochet.  This was a nothing segment other than Drew coming back after several weeks.  Drew McIntyre vs Ricochet.   Ric Flair cut a passionate promo basically calling Hogan to show up on Smackdown this Friday. This was a very go...
