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*.

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...
