WWE RAW 24/9/18 | My Coherent Review.

RAW was a mediocre show that had me entertained at few parts of the 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

The opening segment The Monster Among Men promises to take Reigns’ Universal Championship, and he claims The Shield will soon implode.

The reason why I liked the opening segment is that when Dolph Ziggler talked about how Dean became WWE champion all by himself, I knew where they were heading with this. There was a laugh out loud moment when The shield got a standing ovation and as soon as Roman opened his mouth, he got booed outta building.

So, I'm gonna assume that the revival are babyfaces now?  Anyways, this was a very good match. At one point, The revival did a tag team manoeuvre to Ziggler that almost got them the W but sadly they didn't because Dolph and Drew wins this match with the zig-zag, claymore finish to Dash Wilder. This is a great example as to why tag team wrestling on the main roster can be a must-see commodity.  

WHAT'S OK 

Finn Balor vs Jinder Mahal WWE Photo

This match was a way to promote their mixed tag match immediately after smackdown live and now thinking about it, 2018 is the year of mixed tag matches. The crowd, however, ate that match up. Balor wins with a roll up. After the match, Mahal was kinda beating Sunil Singh and then Mahal does his meditation thing. Whatever.

The first six-person tag match of the night and it was okay. The Riott Squad took a W in this with Ruby hitting the flipping axe kick to Natalya. 


 The Shield vs Baron Corbin and Two partners of his choosingTempers boil over as all six Superstars face off...
It turns out that Baron Corbin's tag partners were none other than the authors of pain with Dave Maverick by their side. This was a decent match that started out pretty slow. The Shield wins with Roman hitting a spear to Baron Corbin. 

Dean not turning heel on RAW last night actually makes sense considering that they have a six-man tag match coming up at super showdown in Melbourne, Australia. However, it is possible that he could turn heel on that same show. 

WHAT'S BAD

Chad Gable vs Connor of the Ascension WWE Photo

I don't care about this. This was a piss break match. Connor of the ascension wins with the dominator finish that Bobby Lashley used in his first run with the company. Just turn Bobby Roode heel already.

Look, I'm liking this Jak and Daxter type of relationship with Lio Rush and Bobby Lashley but that doesn't mean I like this match. This match was boring and it had the same DQ finish as last week's match. Lame. 

Nia Jax vs Alicia FoxWWE Photo
This match was not only longer than it needed to be but it was also a waste of time. Nia Jax wins with the Samoan drop.

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....
