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

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.

Top 3 BEST Distraction Finishes EVER!

Distraction endings to a wrestling match in WWE depend on one another if you think about it. It's like the peanut butter and jelly or the chicken and the basmati biryani rice or Dan Lambert and sexism. "Why top 3", you may ask? Because one, I'm different and two, well, I'm different, so be gone to the mofos that think it's shorter than Brock Lesnar's bout with Kofi Kingston. (WARNING: This piece is mostly sarcasm). Daniel Bryan vs Sheamus. Wrestlemania 28. I know this made your eyebrows raise as high as Rocky Maivia but think about this. The kiss from AJ Lee that led to a brogue kick from Sheamus, has in some way, led to the general audience seeing how Daniel Bryan should be WAY higher in the overall arc than where he was at that time. Also, this was also the year where Bryan showed off his comedic chops with his "NO" catchphrase and his tag team run with the big red conservative, Kane. If anything, this distraction finish was a great chara...

NXT Takeover: 30 | A Coherent Review.

NXT Takeovers have delivered greatly throughout the "30 years" of Takeover shows. This one, in my opinion, wasn't it. For a Takeover program, this was disappointing. All of the Takeovers are A's or B's and Takeover 30 was a C at best. At least, I like the stage production set. pictures via WWE.com PRESHOW: Breezango vs Legado De La Fantasma vs Oney Lorcan And Danny Burch. Winner Faces Imperium For The NXT Tag Team Championship. It was a fine match. Joaquin Wilde's ring gear was really cool even though it took a bit out of the seriousness from the Legado De La Fantasma stable. I'm just nitpicking though. Breezango actually won the match and will go on to face Imperium for the tag belts. MAIN SHOW: Finn Balor vs Timothy Thatcher. Timothy Thatcher started off this match with a series of punches which he then later transitioned into various submission moves. Pretty much, Finn has no choice but to adapt to...

WWE RAW 28/2/22 | A Coherent Review.

Another week, another episode of Monday Night RAW aka a 2 hour podcast for an angry bearded white guy. Kevin Owens and Seth Rollins spoke with Alpha Academy and……….. It led to a stunner from Kevin Owens to Chad Gable I can't criticize the way Gable says thank you because after all, he's a chad. The segment followed with a decent tag team match between two former rivals and the Academics. And like their dating life, the Alphas took an L here. This is the part where I would be mad at the tag champs getting pinned but those titles, as well as the entire tag division, are so meaningless, I don't have the energy to do so. T-Bar vs Omos. T-Bar lost a match and Omos can't wrestle for sh*ts. In other news, the colour of blood is red. Bianca Belair, Rhea Ripley And Liv Morgan vs Becky Lynch, Doudrop And Nikki A.S.H. Bianca once again proves that she owns all of the EST by leading her team to victory with the KOD on Nikki Ash Ketchum....
