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 7 Best NXT Takeover Theme Songs.

Everbody likes to put on some good music. You like good music. Your friends and family like good music. However, what makes a song good is completely subjective but in my opinion, NXT are nailing it with their takeover theme songs and I'm ranking them on a glorified subjective form of content and that is list videos/articles or in my case a top seven list. Without further ado, Here are my top seven best NXT takeover theme songs.  7. Serpents by Neck Deep   The reason why I like this song so much is that   it gives me some early 2000s punk rock which by listening to this song, it feels like they're paying a homage to that era. overall a good listen that depending on how old you are will give a nostalgic feel like I did.  6. Ace Of Spades by  Motörhead Now, l like me some Motörhead. Triple H's current theme and the evolution theme song is some of my favourite theme music of all time and this is no exception. The only critique I have for this song ...

Wrestling With Whiteness | A Documentary Sorely Needed.

Here's the thing. My 2 viewers will know that I've been a wrestling fan for 15 plus years but what they do not know is that I've been a Somali (aka a Black Muslim person) my entire life so talking about this documentary is going to be a little more personal, to say the least.  And look, I know this is the part where I insert my usual wit and fart jokes but you're not gonna see less of that because this is a serious topic (and you know it's serious when I mentioned my ethnicity) about representation and the shared struggle across every single black performer featured in this documentary.  From the press release, Wrestling With Whiteness "focuses on sharing the stories of Black folx and their experience in the wrestling community. Using a combination of interviews with Black wrestlers and Black content creators, Wrestling With Whiteness uncovers the unique experiences of Black people in the industry and the rise of representation for performers and fans around th...

A Guide On How To Improve Wrestling Criticism.

Now, before you all verbally eat me alive like a hippopotamus (yes hippos eat humans, look that up), understand that I’m just an average dude writing about pro wrestling and doesn’t claim to be an expert in anything and that includes professional wrestling (except cooking. I’m damn good at cooking).  However, what I’ve been discovering as a pro wrestling blogger for over a year is that there are some wrestling criticism out there that just make me wanna scratch my head to the point where my hands turn into an electric shaver if that makes sense. For instance, “Why is Ricochet’s trunks red instead of white?” or “Why’s Andrade wearing his Luchador mask for his entrance every week?”  In other words, they’re nitpicking and trust me I do that ALL THE TIME in my wrestling reviews. There’s nothing wrong with nitpicking certain things but the difference is that I acknowledge that I’m nitpicking and those guys clearly don’t.  There are fans out there on the interweb that b...
