WWE RAW 17/9/18 | My Coherent Review.

RAW was a mediocre show that had some redeeming qualities but for the most part again, it was a mediocre 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


Dean Ambrose vs Drew McIntyre

Good match. It was surprisingly hard hitting in my opinion but there was a dumb babyface moment where dean jumped from a ring post and Drew reversed it and instead Dean hit himself on the barricade. After that, Drew hit the claymore kick and wins the match. 

The opening segment

Overall, the segment was pretty good but the most interesting thing I've noticed in this segment was Roman Reigns' promo before Strowman showed up. In my opinion, he has come a LONG way in terms of mic skills. Don't get me wrong he's not "the best talker in WWE right now" but he has improved a lot. But that didn't stop me from thinking that the main event of that show was boring as hell.


Lio rush. That is all.

My goodness, him reversing and dodging moves from Elias and Kevin Owens like I'm playing the spiderman ps4 game all over again was entertaining to watch. By far, the best thing on that show. Kudos to Lio Rush. 


WHAT'S OK 


Chad Gable vs Victor of the Ascension

This match was one big meh. Chad wins with his modified German suplex with a bridge. After the match, Connor of the Ascension beats both gable and Roode and walks out of the ring. Whatever.  

Undertaker shows up on RAW

The promo he cut was okay but the noteworthy moment in that promo was that Shawn Michaels will be on Triple H's corner while the mayor of Knoxville, Tennessee Kane will be on Undertaker's corner because it is a possibility that Michaels will interfere in that match and Kane being there to even the odds actually makes a lot of sense and for that I'm fine with it. 

However, I hope to God that Michaels will not come out of retirement just so he could be in a tag team match with Hunter as his partner vs the brothers of destruction at the crown jewel event on November 2. 


Seth Rollins vs Dolph Ziggler for the Intercontinental championship 

The Kingslayer is still Intercontinental Champion!
Honestly speaking, they had better matches. It's an Okay match in my opinion. Seth Rollins wins here and retains the championship with the stomp. 


WHAT'S BAD


Bayley vs Dana Brooke

Why? Because it is a waste of my time that's why. Bayley wins with the Bayley to belly finish. 


Another AOP squash match.

The title above says it all. They win with that double powerbomb signature move. I mean I get the tag team division is very thin in terms of credibility and the fact that they got little to no teams but come on. Have them at least face against teams like the B team but what can you do?  


Ronda Rousey's "open challenge"

The reason why I use air quotes in the word "open challenge" is because Natalya's music hits and instead it was the riott squad dragging her and Ruby accepted Rousey's challenge until Sarah Logan and Liv Morgan got involved. To my surprise (sarcasm of course) the Bella twins came out to ring and saved Ronda. Can WWE just do something creative with their women's division on RAW right now because at this point, I'm beyond uninterested.


Roman Reigns vs Baron Corbin for the universal championship 

Spear for the win!
Like I said earlier, the main event was boring. It was so boring that I actually almost fall asleep during this match. Roman Reigns wins with the almighty, the all-powerful spear.  


What do think about RAW last night? Let me know in the comments below and follow the blog for honest pro wrestling opinions. Anyways, stay safe smarks.

My Coherent Wrestling Wednesdays: Three Big Returns, A Great Inaugural Women's Championship Match.

If you have been a fan of this site since January, then you'll know that I've completely rebooted my review process and now, I'm doing that again.  Don't worry, the format for my RAW, Smackdown and PPV reviews will still be the same but not on Wednesdays. So, here it is, My Coherent Wrestling Wednesdays.  NXT The Highlights. Adam Cole vs Matt Riddle For The NXT Championship.  A match that opened this episode of the yellow brand, the original bro and the leader of The Undisputed Era tore the house down.  Whether it's Cole reversing the fireman's carry from Riddle into a backstabber, Cole hitting a Panama sunrise twice, a floating bro or the crowd chanting "Adam Cole, bro", it was a visual statement by NXT that the yellow brand is THE brand to watch.  Unfortunately,  Riddle felt short and ate the last shot but there was another highlight I wanna talk about….. Finn Balor Returns To N. X. T.  It's not a typo my friends, Finn ...

WWE Wrestlemania 26 | A Coherent Review.

I've teased a mystery review on my Facebook page (which you can click here to follow us) and that mystery has now been unveiled. It's Wrestlemania 26. This review was delayed and was supposed to be up last Monday but at least is now up. Also, The first draft of this review was 7 pages long so strap in. By far, the longest review on this very website.  I thought it would be fitting to review a Wrestlemania from a decade back and how do I feel about it? It was a show that if you watched it, you're most likely going to have a good time. It was a mix of great things but terrible things at the same time as most shows.  The 26th edition of Wrestlemania took place in the University of Phoenix Stadium in the Phoenix suburb of Glendale, Arizona on March 28th, 2010.  The commentators were Micheal Cole, Jerry Lawler and Matt Striker. Honestly, Striker was pretty good and a far better colour commentator than Lawler was on this show (even today, Lawler is still bleh on commen...
