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.

The 5 News Week: An Interview With Musician John Kiernan.

  WE'RE BACK LADIES, GENTLEMEN AND NB! Now, what did I miss from the several week hiatus?  *Scrolls down at the news feed* a billionaire said something stupid. Monday Night RAW is still duh and uninspired. Mass release of talent by WWE.  So……. Same old sh*t? Figures.  For those unaware (pretty much everybody), The 5 News Week is where I showcase 5 major or minor news of the week that I don't have the time to do separately.  Without further ado, here are the 5 News Week.  An Interview With Musician John Kiernan.  I kick things off with an interview from a guy that I'm hoping (as a musician) appreciates Brie Bella's theme song because my music tastes suck, musician John Kiernan.  If the name sounds familiar to you, it’s probably because you’re listening to a podcast that loves shouting out the names John “loose cannon” Lopez and ‘Beast Mode” Brock Joseph at the beginning.  Kiernan has composed and straight-up killed it in the pro wrestling musi...

WWE Backlash 2020 | A Coherent Review.

Overall, a decent PPV that was highlighted by a few good matches and one greatest match (yea, yea, the pun is worn out already but I just had to).  As a tradition on this site, I've not seen the pre-show match, however, I've heard it was solid.  Bayley And Sasha Banks vs Alexa Bliss And Nikki Cross vs The IIconics For The Women's Tag Team Championship.  A decent opening match of the evening. Peyton Royce did a unique crossbody onto every participant in the match.  Moments later, Royce and Billie Kay did their double team move on Sasha Banks but you know who also did a double team move?  Nikki Cross and Alexa Bliss with a double team DDT on Peyton Royce.  As soon as Bliss hits the Twisted Bliss on Peyton Royce, Sasha Banks quickly rolled Alexa up for the victory and retained dos straps.  The tag team championship reign of the golden role models continues (No sh*t, Omar). Also, I wanna briefly speak on the Alexa Bliss situation....

Will Hobbs. Professional Wrestling's Powerhouse

"What's the most powerful house you can think of? Perhaps a bungalow, something that's low, unshakable, that kinda thing? ” Hey Ew, 2022 Think of the greatest big men in the history of the business. Big Van Vader who represents pure unadulterated aggression that seamlessly benefits his ferocious in-ring style ( see his match with Mitsuharu Misawa for more information).  Bam Bam Bigelow who's unpredictability inside the ring like his flying headbutts and moonsaults has made him spectacular to watch.  The Undertaker who have built a sense of aura by masterfully marching down the ring, creating anticipation in the process as well as constructing an expression of a man who hates video games and wants “men to be like men” .  And then there's Powerhouse Will Hobbs. A man who I believe in years to come is the heir apparent to the throne of “greatest big men in wrestling” and for good reason. Mr “I Break Backs Like Bane” possesses a power that belies his exuberance.  Why ...
