ALL IN 2018 | My Coherent Review.

Hello, my fellow wrestling fans and welcome to my first ever wrestling review outside of the WWE called ALL IN. One of the most anticipated PPV of this year. At least to me at any rate. Did it live up to the anticipation? I would say yes. Without further ado, here's my coherent, honest review of ALL IN. 


Matt Cross vs MJF 

I missed most of that match because I was in the bathroom but I did can the closing end of the match and it was fine for what it was.  Matt cross with this match and MJF looks and screams a prick, asshole type heel (No shit, omar). 


Christopher Daniels vs Stephen Amell


Good match. Early in the match, Amell delivered a dropkick which looked good. During the match, Amell hit a coast to coast that made Shane McMahon proud. Christopher Daniels then hit a moonsault but it barely connected. 

Stephen Amell then tried to hit the elbow drop on Daniels through the table but hit himself instead through the table. 

The match ends with Christopher Daniels delivering a moonsault to Amell to win this match. Again, good match and Amell looked good in this and I wanna see more of him, to be honest. 


Tessa Blanchard vs Chelsea Green vs Madison Rayne vs Britt Baker

That was an entertaining match. Tessa was the MVP of that match. During the match, Madison Rayne did a crossbody to the entire participants of that match. Then Britt baker went on a series of sling blades. 

Chelsea green hit the woo kick made famous by her boyfriend Zach Ryder. The match ends with Tessa hitting the hammerlock DDT to green to win the match. 

This match was so great that I'm watching that match on repeat. 
WWE would be clueless if they didn't sign Blanchard.  


Cody vs Nick Aldis for the NWA Heavyweight championship


Cody's entrance was a great thing to watch with the addition of his dog. The match itself was solid. 

At one point, Cody hit a beautiful suicide dive. Earl Hebner gave the X sign. After that, Sean Davari basically disrespected Cody with that shove and then DDP delivered the diamond cutter to Davari to even the odds. At this point, Cody was heavily bleeding. 

Cody Rhodes tried to hit the Alabama slam but was unsuccessful because of the injured back and then Cody was in the Alabama slam position and gave a quick spin to only then successfully hit the Alabama Slam.  

Aldis hit the elbow drop on Brandi to protect her beaten down husband to the chants of "asshole" which was funny. The match ends with Cody hitting the sunset flip to quickly pin and win the match and the NWA Heavyweight championship. Congrats to Cody on his win.  


Hangman Page vs Joey Janela 


One of the highlights of that was page hitting a moonsault to joey. Now thinking about it, almost every match at one point hit a moonsault. 

Page hit a fallaway slam to joey on the steel chair which looked brutal. Joey then rolls up the cracker barrel like that snes donkey Kong game. 

Joey then hit the death valley driver to page on the middle rope. 

After that page put joey on the ladder with that fireman's carry move that I don't know. Penelope was hammering on page and then joey hit the splash to page on the table. 

Then on the stage page hit a running powerbomb to joey through the table. The match ends with page hitting Joey with that landline phone and delivered the hidden passage on joey through the table to win this match. 

Chaotic match and is it me being obvious or is it that the people with the penis costumes carrying page remind me when the undertaker used to carry his opponents or something like that? 


Jay Lethal vs Flip Gordon for the ROH world championship. 

First off, nice to see black machismo. Second, the match was fine. Gordon at one point multiple suicide dives to Lethal. 

Lethal hit I believe it was three elbow drops and then Gordon channelling his inner Hulk Hogan to gain momentum of course. Lethal wins the match with the modified cutter. 

After the match, both competitors hug it out and then outta nowhere bully ray came out with clotheslining both men. Colt Cabana comes out to save them and then hit the triple powerbomb on bully ray on the table. 


Pentagon jr vs Kenny Omega  

A very, very, very good match. Kenny is so quick with his moves like the dragon suplex or the death valley driver he gave. At one match, Pentagon hit the package piledriver and Kenny sold it like a pro shout out to him. Kenny then hit the package piledriver of his own to a close near fall. 

The match ends with Kenny hitting the v trigger and the Omega hitting the one winged angel to win this match. After the match, he got his ass kicked by Pentagon jr, unmasks himself and it was revealed it was Chris Jericho which I was surprised. Shout out to Chris Jericho for that shocking reveal. When was the last I ever saw a moment like this? A long time is all I'll say. 


Mary Scrull vs kazuchika Okada 

Started out slow but it picked up very well because that was match of the night in my opinion. That DDT from Okada head first on the outside looked devastating. Okada wins with the double beautiful rainmakers. Again what a match. I'm definitely watching that match on repeat. 


Kota Ibushi and The young bucks vs Fenix, Bandido, Rey Mysterio. 


And your main event of a four-hour show. That interaction with Ibushi and Mysterio gave me some goosebumps. 

One of the highlights of that match was Matt Jackson of the young bucks hitting the cannonball to pretty much everybody in this match. The golden elite wins with the 5 star meltzer driver. Not the way I would've ended that show but it was a fun match nevertheless. 

Sounds off in the comments on what do you think about ALL IN and follow the blog for honest pro wrestling opinions. Anyways, stay safe smarks.

WWE RAW 30/12/19 | My Coherent Review.

I'm back from a two-week review hiatus and honestly, it was refreshing but this ain't about me. You're here for my thoughts on the final RAW of the 2010s and it was decent until the ending.  I'm still in shock as to what did I just witness. I've not been this shocked from seeing an ending like that probably since watching the movie "Schindler's List".  Kevin Owens Wants To Take Seth Rollins And AOP Down.  Owens in a promo, says that the heel trio are disrespecting Rey Mysterio and shows footage of Mysterio losing the US title to Andrade in a house show even though the luchador wasn't 100%.  Seth Rollins and his friends came out and Kevin Owens immediately tried to attack AOP but that did not fail thanks to Samoa Joe and chaos has ensued to start off RAW.  Charly Caruso showed up to interview Samoa Joe about what AOP and Rollins did to him last week to which a bunch of security guards entered the locker room to get rid of Owens ...

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 ...

WWE Smackdown Live 30/10/18 | My Coherent Review.

Smackdown Live yesterday was a skippable show other than the opening segment and match in my opinion. Now usually on my RAW/Smackdown Live review, I break down what's good, what's ok and what's bad. For the first time, I'm only gonna tell you what's ok given that this show was again a skippable show and here we go.  WHAT'S OK The opening segment  This is the probably one of if not most noteworthy moment this week mainly because as you might know, there were reports going around that John Cena and Daniel Bryan were out of Crown Jewel and the reports are indeed true and it makes sense, especially for John Cena considering that he's an actor now and he needs to maintain his PR status. The segment itself was decent. Loved both guys' intensity and that segment leads to a WWE championship match and speaking of which............. Daniel Bryan vs AJ Styles  Decent match. Expected a better from these two but again, decent nevertheless but...
