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. 

Bobby Lashley vs EliasWWE Photo
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.

WWE Backlash 2020 | A Coherent Review.

Overall, a decent PPV that was highlighted by a few good matches and one greatest match (yea, yea, the pun is worn out already but I just had to).  As a tradition on this site, I've not seen the pre-show match, however, I've heard it was solid.  Bayley And Sasha Banks vs Alexa Bliss And Nikki Cross vs The IIconics For The Women's Tag Team Championship.  A decent opening match of the evening. Peyton Royce did a unique crossbody onto every participant in the match.  Moments later, Royce and Billie Kay did their double team move on Sasha Banks but you know who also did a double team move?  Nikki Cross and Alexa Bliss with a double team DDT on Peyton Royce.  As soon as Bliss hits the Twisted Bliss on Peyton Royce, Sasha Banks quickly rolled Alexa up for the victory and retained dos straps.  The tag team championship reign of the golden role models continues (No sh*t, Omar). Also, I wanna briefly speak on the Alexa Bliss situation....

The 5 News Week: An Interview With Musician John Kiernan.

  WE'RE BACK LADIES, GENTLEMEN AND NB! Now, what did I miss from the several week hiatus?  *Scrolls down at the news feed* a billionaire said something stupid. Monday Night RAW is still duh and uninspired. Mass release of talent by WWE.  So……. Same old sh*t? Figures.  For those unaware (pretty much everybody), The 5 News Week is where I showcase 5 major or minor news of the week that I don't have the time to do separately.  Without further ado, here are the 5 News Week.  An Interview With Musician John Kiernan.  I kick things off with an interview from a guy that I'm hoping (as a musician) appreciates Brie Bella's theme song because my music tastes suck, musician John Kiernan.  If the name sounds familiar to you, it’s probably because you’re listening to a podcast that loves shouting out the names John “loose cannon” Lopez and ‘Beast Mode” Brock Joseph at the beginning.  Kiernan has composed and straight-up killed it in the pro wrestling musi...

Jim Cornette's Opinion On WWE's Deal With FOX.

Jim Cornette recently appeared on Talk Is Jericho about the state of wrestling ( Click here to listen and download the whole thing, it's really good) and talked about a number of topics but the interesting thing about this discussion is his opinion on WWE's deal with FOX. Here's what he had to say (shout out to WrestleZone for the transcript):  " Vince just got $2 billion for a TV deal. People are looking at All In, the resurgence of New Japan, and all that, but that’s going to be the most important thing. Now people with platforms are interested in wrestling again.  There’s a lot of money in wrestling again. For a while ratings were meh, and they still are, but at the same point $2 billion, how can you argue with that? In 2011, when Sinclair Broadcasting bought Ring of Honor it instantly became the second most watched television program because it was on 60 local stations.  That was still a wide gap from WWE, and IMPACT has gone in the other direction becaus...
