WWE RAW 10/9/18 | My Coherent Review.

RAW was once again bad, boring and frustrating to watch and also nothing really happened on this show. Why you ask? Well, here are my reasons as to why. Here we go. 

WHAT'S GOOD

Triple H's promo

 This was short but an affect promo. This build for the Undertaker and Triple H at the super showdown in Australia so far has been better than ANYTHING on RAW right now in my opinion. 


WHAT'S OK

Nikki Bella vs Ruby riott 


There was a point in this match where Nikki Bella did a beautiful looking spinebuster. Match overall was ok. Nikki Bella wins here with the rack attack 2.0 finish. 

Kevin Owens vs Tyler Breeze


The match hasn't started yet but the best part about this is that Owens is becoming more vicious. In other words, he's becoming more NXT Kevin Owens. He then cut a pretty good promo pretty much saying that he blames Bobby Lashley for his actions and injuring his best friend Sami Zayn. The promo ends with Owens proclaiming that RAW is the Kevin Owens show which I disagree because this is essentially the Roman Reigns show but whatever.

Alexa Bliss and Mickie James vs Ronda Rousey and Natalya


Eh match just like this feud but that face from Ronda though when Bliss slapped her in the face. Just by watching the highlights, Ronda wins with the armbar submission to Mickie James. 

WHAT'S BAD

The opening segment


This segment is not only similar to last week's segment but also the promo Braun cut where he said that he's not a coward like roman reigns who needs his shield brothers to take strowman down and does things himself yet he has a faction of his own in Dolph Ziggler and Drew McIntyre? It just doesn't make ANY SENSE whatsoever. This main event storyline right now on RAW is just terrible to watch as a fan. 


Another AOP squash match 


I mean what do you expect In this really? The authors of pain won with the final chapter and by the way, they're now called by their abbreviation. Huh?  

Raw tag titles match between Dolph and Drew vs The B Team 


I don't mind a rematch if the first match was good. The problem is, that match other than the win was meh. So why do I need to watch a match that was meh? 

Dolph and Drew retain their championship by the claymore zig-zag finish to Bo Dallas and later that night Corbin announced that they're defending those belts against Seth Rollins and Dean Ambrose. To that I ask, why's Seth not defending his Intercontinental title? 

Bobby Roode and Chad Gable vs The Ascension


This match was longer than it needed to be honestly speaking. Roode and gable wins with the modified German suplex which was the same finish as last week's match.

It sounds like I'm complaining for the sake of complaining, however, the show was awful. So awful that I slept the minute after the women's tag team match and woke up almost an hour later to write this review but that didn't stop WWE from announcing that Mick Foley will be the special guest referee for the universal championship match at Hell in a cell. So excited *sigh*. 

What do you think about this week's episode of RAW? Let me know in the comments below and follow the blog for honest pro wrestling.  opinions. Anyways stay safe smarks.

WWE Extreme Rules 2019 | My Coherent Review.

Man, I'm impressed with WWE in terms of PPVs as of late because overall, this was a fantastic show in my opinion with great matches but the crowd was dead for most of the show so that sucks.  I finally watched the pre-show match between Finn Balor and Shinsuke Nakamura before I went to bed because the show aired at 2 am where I live and it was okay.  By the way, how interesting is it when on last year’s Extreme Rules show, Shinsuke Nakamura won the United States championship and now this year’s show, he won the intercontinental title. Also, it's funny that the intercontinental championship was the main event on last's year show and on this year's Extreme Rules PPV, it's on the preshow.  Shane McMahon and Drew McIntyre vs Roman Reigns and The Undertaker.  Mike Rome did better in announcing "The Best In the world" this time than on RAW. Mike Rome's announcement a few weeks ago sounded like that one friend that thinks he/she knows how to ...

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...

The Coherent Wrestling Wednesdays: Holy Sh*t, The Revival Are All Elite, Matt Riddle vs Timothy Thatcher In A Unique Steel Cage Match.

Both shows had its weak points but overall, that was an enjoyable 4 hours of professional wrestling television. I personally liked AEW Dynamite this week.  From an awesome women's match with Shida and Christi Jaynes to The Revival showing up, AEW managed to give me a solid episode and successfully furthered their storylines to next week's exciting show.  NXT   Highlights (at least in my opinion because wrestling is subjective).  Kushida vs Drake Maverick vs Jake Atlas. Triple Threat Match Interim Cruiserweight Championship Tournament.  What a way to kick off this episode of NXT, am I right? Atlas delivered the rainbow DDT but Kushida broke Jake's pin.  Speaking of Kushida, he nailed the armbar submission, however, Drake pinned Atlas because Atlas' shoulders were on the mat and will meet El Hijo Del Fantasma for the finals next week.  I don't know if Drake is rehired or he's going to be rehired but Maverick has a big ta...
