WWE RAW Go Home Show 13/8/18 | My Coherent Review.

The go home show for RAW was surprisingly good that did it's job to make you or in this case make me excited for summerslam next week. Before i talk about this show, i what to give my thoughts to Nattie Neidhart aka Natalya and the entire hart family and friends who's been affected by the death of Jim The Anvil Neidhart. Now, i'm gonna give what's good, what's ok and what's bad. Let do this.

WHAT'S GOOD

The opening segment and the alexa bliss vs ember moon match.

The promo from ronda starts by giving thoughts to her friend natalya on Jim The Anvil Neidhart passing which was classy and great. For some reason the camera guy was zooming on ronda's face way too much and i don't get it why. The promo ends by saying that she's gonna beat alexa to become the RAW women's champion.

Outcomes alexa bliss with alicia fox by her side and basically saying that ronda's an "overhyped, overrated rookie" and she brought security guards to protect her from ronda which spoilers, that didn't go so well. The match with ember moon and alexa bliss was decent and the crowd were hot for most of this match. During the match, ember delivered a gutbuster to bliss which looked sick and devastating at the same time. Ember wins via DQ. A great way to start RAW.

Tag Team Title Match

Solid tag team title match. It was a bit short but sweet. One of the high points of this match was matt hardy delivering a superplex to scott dawson on the entire participants of this match. The B teams retains the championship by axel throwing dawson on the outside and pinning an unconscious bray wyatt. Now they just announced that the B team will defend the titles against the revival at the summerslam preshow which it should be a decent match.

The intercontinental championship contract signing

I thought this entire segment was great and not only because of dean amborse returning which by the way, welcome back dean but it's because of the promo which was cut by dolph ziggler. I love the fact that the intercontinental championship is given in a higher pedestal. Kudos to creative on that one.

WHAT'S OK

Baron corbin vs Tyler breeze and Braun and Finn vs Mahal and Owens

By the way, Baron cobin's theme song and entrance is great to watch. As far as the match itself, it was longer that it supposed to be. Baron wins with the great looking deep six. Now the tag match after this was surprisingly decent and one of the reasons why again, is because of the crowd. The team of braun strowman and finn balor wins with braun's running bodyslam to jinder mahal.

Elias's biggest fan does a favour for Elias

For like a few seconds, i thought that the local competitor looked like fandango for a split second. Then Elias comes out and basically promoted his concert on summerslam weekend and told him that if you are fan then face bobby lashley. Bobby Lashley came out and cut a tolerateable (if that's a real word) promo and the match hasn't started yet? Meh segment but better than the duet a couple of weeks ago.

Paul heyman's swerve

Now, the segment was decent surprisingly because it's Monday Night RAW for God sake.

Some people and understandably so, thought that the twist or the swerve didn't make sense and i somewhat disagree with that.

Paul heyman has been loyal to brock for years with the exception of paul's heel turn in survivor series 2002. The thing is, if WWE puts a turn on brock then WWE are getting rid of brock's one if not his greatest asset.

However, the backstage segment of brock and paul heyman a couple of weeks ago makes this sudden turn of events meaningless but that's just me.

WHAT'S BAD

Meaningless matches

Speaking of the word meaningless, those matches are examples of filler and i don't like filler and that's my thoughts on that. Ruby wins with a school boy roll up and The team of Titus worldwide and bobby roode wins with roode hitting the glorious DDT to Mojo rawley.

Sound off in the comments on what do you think about RAW this week and follow me on twitter @omar_playa. Anyways, stay safe smarks.

WWE RAW 11/2/19 | My Coherent Review.

This go home show makes me wanna go home if I was an attendance of this show. In other words, RAW wasn't good and here's why. Opening Segment. The show started off with The Authority. A stable that I actually don't mind but that a different topic. Anyways, they run down the Elimination Chamber PPV card. After that, The Man Becky Lynch came out and Triple H said that he will lift the suspension if Becky apologizes to both him and Stephanie. Becky then told Stephanie to shut her face and she refused to apologize. The segment ended with Hunter giving her two choices. Either Becky apologizes to them or Becky's WrestleMania match is off. Compared to the segments on RAW and Smackdown last week, this was underwhelming. Sasha and Bayley vs Liv Morgan and Sarah Logan vs Nia Jax and Tamina. Loser enters first in the Elimination Chamber match. The match was fine. During the match, Bayley delivered two stunners on the ...

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...
