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.

THE Coherent AEW Take: I Ain't Tellin' You No Lie, The Hook Brings You Back

PAGE AND BRYAN! HOOK! HOOK! HOOK! PAGE AND BRYAN! HOOK! HOOK! HOOK!  That's it. That's the intro.  Rampage.   Highlights.  HOOOOOOOOK!  I mean, I gotta support the man himself named Hook, DUHHH!  What can I say, I like a man that is built different, quick, agile and hard……..in professional wrestling, of course.  Suffice to say, Hook does something that Kalya Braxton doesn't and that is, making all biracials proud.  FTR vs Lucha Brothers for the AEW world tag team championship Two of the best tag teams I've ever witnessed as a wrestling fan (yes, they're THAT darn good) battling it out in an opening match so banging, not even your Beats headphone can replicate it, ya feel me?  The Lucha Brothers get to walk out of this episode of Rampage still as the reigning world tag champs.  Some Other Things That Happened.  Adam Cole defeated Wheeler Yuta - Adam Cole appreciation comment.  Dynamite.  Highlights.  Hangman Page...

Escape The Undertaker | A Short Coherent Review.

The internet. The only place where your YouTube recommended is filled with "I DON'T EVEN KNOW THAT'S PG".  It is also home to Netflix which released an interactive movie produced by future Raspberry award-winning movie studio, WWE films. Look, the idea of 3 black dudes being trapped inside a house by a white conservative dead hog, is offensive and by that description alone, you weren't sure for a sec whether you were watching Netflix or the Daily Wire.  Luckily, there wasn't a cameo from Tessa Blanchard so you should be fine.  As a fan of Mass Effect 2, I love some dialogue trees that alter the events of a movie/game.  And, from a functionality standpoint, it is a technical marvel how it gives the audience the illusion of choice (you know, like our current economic system).  I say "illusion" because therein lies the main problem I have with the film. Your choices don't matter here. Even in a WWE movie, they're still trying to avoid the fan...

WWE Smackdown Live 11/9/18 | My Coherent Review.

Smackdown live was overall a good show. Why you ask? Well, I'm gonna tell you what's good, what's ok and what's bad. Here we go.  WHAT'S GOOD Jeff Hardy vs Shinsuke Nakamura The promo before this was okay however that was a goooood match. Better than their in counter at SummerSlam. Jeff was about to beat Nakamura, however, randy outta nowhere pushes hardy on the outside hence Nakamura retains the championship and Jeff wins via DQ. They had a brawl that was better than the brawl last night on RAW I'll tell you that much.  Samoa Joe telling a bedtime story in a good not boring way.   I thought from the editing to the design of the book to the way Samoa Joe express the story was fantastic. The thing I LOVE about this is that it's a outside in the box type of promo package that worked. Man, I can't wait for this match. On Sunday night when the PPV airs, I think I'm gonna call my local "WENDYYYS" (My goodness that was awfu...
