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.

THE Coherent AEW Take: I Ain't Tellin' You No Lie, The Hook Brings You Back

PAGE AND BRYAN! HOOK! HOOK! HOOK! PAGE AND BRYAN! HOOK! HOOK! HOOK!  That's it.

Escape The Undertaker | A Short Coherent Review.

The internet. The only place where your YouTube recommended is filled with "I DON'T EVEN KNOW THAT'S PG".  It is also home to Netflix which released an interactive movie produced by future Raspberry award-winning movie studio, WWE films. Look, the idea of 3 black dudes being trapped inside a house by a white conservative dead hog, is offensive and by that description alone, you weren't sure for a sec whether you were watching Netflix or the Daily Wire.  Luckily, there wasn't a cameo from Tessa Blanchard so you should be fine.  As a fan of Mass Effect 2, I love some dialogue trees that alter the events of a movie/game.  And, from a functionality standpoint, it is a technical marvel how it gives the audience the illusion of choice (you know, like our current economic system).  I say "illusion" because therein lies the main problem I have with the film. Your choices don't matter here. Even in a WWE movie, they're still trying to avoid the fan...

WWE Smackdown Live 11/9/18 | My Coherent Review.

Smackdown live was overall a good show. Why you ask? Well, I'm gonna tell you what's good, what's ok and what's bad. Here we go.  WHAT'S GOOD Jeff Hardy vs Shinsuke Nakamura The promo before this was okay however that was a goooood match. Better than their in counter at SummerSlam. Jeff was about to beat Nakamura, however, randy outta nowhere pushes hardy on the outside hence Nakamura retains the championship and Jeff wins via DQ. They had a brawl that was better than the brawl last night on RAW I'll tell you that much.  Samoa Joe telling a bedtime story in a good not boring way.   I thought from the editing to the design of the book to the way Samoa Joe express the story was fantastic. The thing I LOVE about this is that it's a outside in the box type of promo package that worked. Man, I can't wait for this match. On Sunday night when the PPV airs, I think I'm gonna call my local "WENDYYYS" (My goodness that was awfu...
