WWE Hell In A Cell 2018 | My Coherent Review.

Hello my fellow wrestling fans and welcome to my coherent review for hell in a cell. Was this PPV straight hot garbage? (see what I just did there). The answer is no. This is the BEST main roster PPV of the year so far other than the ending and here's why.


Preshow Match: The New Day (c) vs Rusev Day

This was an entertaining match. One of my favourites moments of that match was when Kofi did a dive and rusev reversed it into an enziguri of some sort which looked amazing by the way. The match ends with Kofi hitting the trouble in paradise to Aiden English and wins this match and retain the titles. They're teasing a possible break up with rusev and Aiden English for weeks now I think and all I can say is insert sad emoji. 

Main Show: Jeff Hardy vs Randy Orton

First off, I've noticed that Jeff is rocking his old wrestling gear when he was part of the Hardy Boyz with Matt Hardy and I would like to thank Matt for giving us a career to remember. Especially when he was Broken Matt Hardy. 

Anyways, did Jeff Hardy almost kill himself in this match? Yes like when Jeff missed a Splash of some sort and instead hit himself on the table from the top of the cell. There was a cringeworthy moment where Randy grabbed a screwdriver and put it in Jeff's ear. Overall this wasn't the match of the year or anything like that but it was a good match and a good way to kick off the show.  


Charlotte Flair (c) vs Becky Lynch

The promo package for this match was FANTASTIC. Anyways, the match itself was great in my opinion. The entire match was pretty much Becky lynch aiming at Charlotte's arm. The match ends with Charlotte hitting the spear and immediately lynch reversed it into a roll-up pin of some sort and wins the match. 

Becky is your new smackdown live women's champion. After the match, Charlotte tried to shake Becky's hand but instead, Becky refused it and held her championship high. Good on her and congratulations to Becky Lynch. 


Dolph Ziggler and Drew McIntyre (c) vs Seth Rollins and Dean Ambrose

Another great match. That frog splash on Drew's back by Rollins was amazing to watch. The match ends with Seth hitting a suplex into a falcon arrow and then out of nowhere McIntyre hit the claymore kick to Seth Rollins only for Dolph to pin Seth and retain the titles. Kudos for all 4 men for giving us a great match. 


AJ Styles (c) vs Samoa Joe

This is when my Internet connection like to mess with me just like Samoa Joe messing with AJ styles psychologically. During the match, Joe hit a powerbomb to styles followed by a modified walls of Jericho aka the Boston crab and then did a STF submission. That was a great sequence. By the end of the match, Samoa Joe hit the kokina clutch and immediately styles reversed that and pins him. By the way, this match had the same finish when Seth Rollins faced Samoa Joe at the Payback PPV just a year ago. Overall a decent match. 


Daniel Bryan and Brie Bella vs The Miz and Maryse

For a mixed tag match, it was pretty decent. The match ends with Brie delivering a roll-up and then Maryse reversed into a roll-up of her own to win this match. Again, a decent match and most likely a rematch is going to happen. Maybe on Smackdown Live or at Smackdown 1000 we don't know but we shall see. 


Ronda Rousey (c) vs Alexa bliss

This was an okay match. Nothing really made this match stand out in my opinion. The match ends with Ronda delivering the armbar submission which made Alexa tap out. In other words, Ronda is still the raw women's champion. (No shit, Omar). 

Roman Reigns (c) vs Braun Strowman with Mick Foley as the guest referee.

During the match, Mick Foley unfortunately botched the count. In other words, Strowman is your uncrowned universal champion and all I can say to that is God bless him. I actually would prefer this match over the opening match if it wasn't for that terrible ending like What was that?  

Well, I hope you enjoyed this review and let me know what do you think about this PPV in the comments below. Make sure you follow the blog for honest pro wrestling opinions and stay safe smarks.

NXT Takeover: In Your House 2020 | A Coherent Review.

NXT Takeover: In Your House is like the rest of the Takeover shows, a fantastic 2 hours of professional wrestling.  What makes this show special is the additional nostalgia like how the show started with the NXT WWF inspired intro, the ice cream commercial narrated by William Regal doing his best Lord Alferd Hayes impression, icopro commercial and last but not least, Todd Pettengill.  This is a show that I'm definitely rewatching in years to come.  Mia Yim, Tegan Nox And Shotzi Blackheart vs Raquel Gonzalez, Candice LeRae And Dakota Kai.  A decent opening match. During the match, Nox did a Molly Holly top rope on to every competitor in the match.  Yim tried to give LeRae some Seoul Food but LeRae reversed that into a suplex. Several minutes later, Shotzi did a Salida Del Sol of some sort on Gonzalez to which Nox delivered the shiniest wizard on Kai and won the match.  Finn Balor vs Damian Priest. I actually thought that the closing mo...

WWE RAW Reunion Show | My Coherent Review.

I really enjoyed this episode of Monday Night RAW but it's also sad that WWE can't deliver a good show without the help of the legends. Not that they haven't delivered a good show with the current roster but take the legends out, the show was pretty much skippable but I understood why it was considering that it's really hard to put current storylines in a reunion themed show.  If you wanna get nostalgic for almost 3 hours then this show is for you but if you want storyline progression then this ain't it.  Opening segment.  The show kicked off with John Cena and it feels weirdly nostalgic when his music hits. John said that he's so excited to be here because so many legends of the past are showing up and also joked about how the fans are finally nice to him.  The Usos came out and they wanted the Doctor Of Thugnamocis. They got their wish and Cena did a rap about their arrest. The Usos brought up their father in Rikishi with Grand...

Jim Cornette's Opinion On WWE's Deal With FOX.

Jim Cornette recently appeared on Talk Is Jericho about the state of wrestling ( Click here to listen and download the whole thing, it's really good) and talked about a number of topics but the interesting thing about this discussion is his opinion on WWE's deal with FOX. Here's what he had to say (shout out to WrestleZone for the transcript):  " Vince just got $2 billion for a TV deal. People are looking at All In, the resurgence of New Japan, and all that, but that’s going to be the most important thing. Now people with platforms are interested in wrestling again.  There’s a lot of money in wrestling again. For a while ratings were meh, and they still are, but at the same point $2 billion, how can you argue with that? In 2011, when Sinclair Broadcasting bought Ring of Honor it instantly became the second most watched television program because it was on 60 local stations.  That was still a wide gap from WWE, and IMPACT has gone in the other direction becaus...
