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.

WWE NXT 24/4/19 | My Coherent Review.

This was a meh episode of NXT. If this is the first time that somebody watches NXT with this episode then you'll have a hard time convincing that particular person to watch another episode you know what I mean?  The Forgotten Sons’ Jaxson Ryker vs Humberto Carrillo.  I don't watch 205 live but I'm loving every time Humberto wrestles. The match ended in a double count out because Ryker was beating the crap out of Carrillo until Danny Burch and Oney Lorcan showed up to save the young luchador. Not a fan of the Forgotten Sons but this feud for some reason made me wanna watch those two teams fight and I don't know why exactly.  After that, Adam Cole was asked backstage in a photo shoot about the Roderick Strong vs Johnny Gargano match until Matt Riddle showed up and said that it's his turn which led to Adam Cole leaving the shoot.  Aliyah and Vanessa Bourne vs Candice LeRae and Kacy Catanzaro.  This was okay. The team of Candice LeRae and Kacy Cat...

The 5 News Week Look-Back: Batista's Match With Triple H At Wrestlemania 35 Supposed To Be A Hell In A Cell!?, A Look Back At Eric Bischoff's Role As Executive Director.

Hello, my fellow wrestling fans and welcome to the 5 News Week where I usually report on the 5 major or minor news of the week but I'm not doing that here if you can't tell from the graphic I made (you're welcome, by the way).  But Rather, all throughout December, I'm going to look back at some of the news that came out in 2019. The start of a new decade is going to be upon us in the coming days and that can be exciting especially for the future of the wrestling business as a whole. I hope you guys celebrate the new year's day and of course, drink responsibly.  Fans Frustration Over The Booking Of The Main Roster Women's Division.  I wrote an article earlier this year about why women's wrestling in world wrestling entertainment of the year 2018 was great (which you can click here to read the whole thing).  However, it seems like the year after (2019) was the exact opposite. Now, they did rebound the quality of storytelling in the women's div...

RUMOUR: The Rock Offered 20 Million Dollars By Saudi Arabia To Become Champion?

Now you are probably reading this headline like "what?" but it is a speculation after all. From the dirty sheets , they've been told that Saudi Arabia  offered Dwyane 'The Rock" Johnson 20 million dollars to become WWE champion in an event on April of 2019.  A rumoured match for him is against Roman Reigns for the Universal Title at Wrestlemania which Dwayne was offered 4 million dollars for that match. If he accepts those offers, he would be the first wrestler to make that amount of money.  What do I think of this? I think this is nonsense in my opinion and the reason being is because if you go to his IMDB page, he has 11 I repeat 11 movies to appear on. Four of them are coming in 2019. and two of them are rumoured as of writing this so It's highly unlikely but never say never as they say.   What do you think of this?
