WWE RAW 6/8/18 | My Coherent Review.

Man, it feels like the RAW creative team for the most part, doesn't care about what they put on television. The show was once again skippable at best. 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

Ronda Rousey's RAW debut

For someone that's gonna face alexa bliss for the RAW women's championship at summerslam, i thought this was an impressive showcase for ronda and it makes her look good going into summerslam. Yes this was a glorified squash match but i understood the context of this but i could see why someone might not like this just because they've been cautious for this match only to be nothing but a squash.

Paul heyman interview

I am not a fan of this storyline mainly because creative's intend is to build sympathy toward roman reigns which in my opinion roman is more somebody that you either love or hate not to feel sorry for. However i thought this interview, the way he sold this was fantastic and if you told me that he was actually crying his eyes out then i would believe you. That how good paul heyman is.

WHAT'S OK

Roman Reigns vs Baron Corbin

Now the opening segment was a typical RAW opening segment but quicker which i appreciate. Anyways, the match was fine. At one point baron corbin hit a deep six and roman sold it pretty well in my opinion. The match ends when finn balor distracted corbin only for him to eat a spear 1 2 3, roman wins. Apparently, the feud between balor and corbin is still happening *sigh*.

Jinder Mahal vs Baron Strowman

The problem i had with this feud is that the way braun strowman treated kevin owens during the extreme rules build last month and the kevin owens show before this match kinda addressed that problem. Anyways, the matched ended on a DQ because braun hit jinder with his money in the bank briefcase.

Seth rollins vs Drew mcintyre and Dolph ziggler

This match was supposed to be a regular tag team match between seth and a mystery tag partner vs drew and dolph and everybody was like "OMG, is amborse coming back?" and he didn't unsurprisingly. Seth instead chose roman after seth refused a tag offer from tyler brezze but roman wasn't part of that match due to a request from Stephanie McMahon. The match itself last a short period of time nothing special really. Dolph and drew wins with dolph hitting the superkick.

The B team vs The Revival

Before i talk about this match. Let me addressed the B team's theme music. This theme, this theme. SUCKS! SUCKS! SUCKS! (Speaking of theme songs, I'm working on a top 5 best NXT takeover theme songs so follow the blog for updates) Anyways, the match ended after 45 seconds because outcomes bray wyatt and "WOKEN" Matt hardy taking the place of both bo dallas's partner and scott dawson's partner and then hit their respective finishers on them. This feud is dead to me just like their tag team division.

Rezar vs Titus O'Nell

I'm surprised it took him this long to beat titus o'nell. Rezar wins with a spinebuster via a distraction from akam which i wonder why?

WHAT'S BAD

Mojo losing this match

Let me get this straight. Why does mojo take a L in this match? You're trying to create/establish a new star and just squashed tyler brezze last week and now he loses a match to bobby roode who's been doing nothing since his move from Smackdown Live. Wouldn't make more sense if rawley wins this match gaining his momentum in the process?

Bobby Lashley interrupts Elias AGAIN!

I don't what are they feuding over. Say what you want about the finn balor vs baron corbin feud but at least they have a reason as to why they're feuding. Again, i need a reason as to why they're feuding because i don't have one clearly.

Riott Squad vs The hugger and Boss connection

First off, welcome back ruby riott. Second, why i'm seeing this match again? And the worst part about it is that 9 times out of 10 the rematch has a different winner. In other words, 50/50 lazy booking. With the return of ruby riott, this will probably end up being a 6 women tag between the riott squad and bayley, sasha and ember moon on RAW or possibly at summerslam.

WrestleFest DXB's Fahrenheit 971 | A Coherent W.

Being a fan of pro wrestling (or any other medium of entertainment) does have its pros and cons when engaging with the industry as a whole. On one hand, you've witnessed an Eddie Kingston promo that'll make you tear up more than the opening scene of Up. On the other hand, going to the wrestling subreddit will definitely have you questioning humanity as a whole and the fact that living in an area where a wrestling presence pretty much doesn't exist like a Vince Russo-written storyline that is, you know, GOOD!? Luckily, the latter retracted my con as a fan because I'm talking about Wrestlefest DXB and their latest joint, "971 Fahrenheit". Martin Bushby of now Post Wrestling Alumni brought the event to my attention because like a wrestler on an episode of RAW I get distracted all the time. So, I decided to take a short journey to a taxi then a bus then a train then a 30-minute walk to the show itself and I know I'm going to sound biased as f**k but I l...

Let's Talk About The White Rabbit In The Room.

I haven't reviewed last year's show mainly because it was so good and clearly as extreme as any ECW match and I'm happy to tell all 3 of y'all that this one is better by several inches or so. Why? *slaps my bald head* HERE'S WHY. The opening match between Sheamus and Gunther's crew ruled harder than the Mongolian empire. It was basically an enhanced version of Sheamus' match with Gunther last night on Smackdown and I loved it. The Brawling Brutes' victory means one thing that is clearly obvious, a rematch between Sheamus and Gunther for the intercontinental championship aka the only series of rematches I don't mind. Ronda Rousey and Liv Morgan delivered in what was a wrestling match equivalent to the X-Men Dark Phoenix movie. While Bianca Belair and Bayley had their equivalent to the first Iron Man movie in that it was decent. Drew McIntyre and Karrion Kross had an okay edition of the "Meaty men slapping meat". That spear from Edge to...

A Few Thoughts On RAW And Smackdown: RAW wasn't GREAT!?

Since this blog will be less of a priority now considering I'm focusing on my podcast now (hit the 5 stars on Apple Podcast you sons of b*tches), I decided to share my few thoughts on RAW, Smackdown, I guess? Smackdown. The blue brand delivered yet another good episode this week and it's probably due to the fact that Braun Strowman taking out the Maximum Model is high-key funny as f**k. The folks over at Titan Towers are bringing back the essence of their characters whether it's Kevin Owens, Shayna Baszler or in this case, Big Braun himself. As a fan, you gotta love it, especially since in the case of Strowman, the dude hasn't been the same since he turned heel 4 years ago when feuding with Roman Reigns for the universal title. Other noteworthy segments include Logan Paul challenging Roman Reigns for the big world universal multiverse galactic cinematic championship. Imagine they pulled that match off 7 years ago back when Logan was on V...
