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 â€œhis boysâ€ 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.

This thing

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.

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 ...

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...

A Guide On How To Improve Wrestling Criticism.

Now, before you all verbally eat me alive like a hippopotamus (yes hippos eat humans, look that up), understand that I’m just an average dude writing about pro wrestling and doesn’t claim to be an expert in anything and that includes professional wrestling (except cooking. I’m damn good at cooking). However, what I’ve been discovering as a pro wrestling blogger for over a year is that there are some wrestling criticism out there that just make me wanna scratch my head to the point where my hands turn into an electric shaver if that makes sense. For instance, “Why is Ricochet’s trunks red instead of white?” or “Why’s Andrade wearing his Luchador mask for his entrance every week?” In other words, they’re nitpicking and trust me I do that ALL THE TIME in my wrestling reviews. There’s nothing wrong with nitpicking certain things but the difference is that I acknowledge that I’m nitpicking and those guys clearly don’t. There are fans out there on the interweb that b...
