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.

WWE Wrestlemania 26 | A Coherent Review.

I've teased a mystery review on my Facebook page (which you can click here to follow us) and that mystery has now been unveiled. It's Wrestlemania 26. This review was delayed and was supposed to be up last Monday but at least is now up. Also, The first draft of this review was 7 pages long so strap in. By far, the longest review on this very website.  I thought it would be fitting to review a Wrestlemania from a decade back and how do I feel about it? It was a show that if you watched it, you're most likely going to have a good time. It was a mix of great things but terrible things at the same time as most shows.  The 26th edition of Wrestlemania took place in the University of Phoenix Stadium in the Phoenix suburb of Glendale, Arizona on March 28th, 2010.  The commentators were Micheal Cole, Jerry Lawler and Matt Striker. Honestly, Striker was pretty good and a far better colour commentator than Lawler was on this show (even today, Lawler is still bleh on commen...

WrestleFest DXB's Fahrenheit 971 | A Coherent W.

  Being a fan of pro wrestling (or any other medium of entertainment) does have its pros and cons when engaging with the industry as a whole.  On one hand, you've witnessed an Eddie Kingston promo that'll make you tear up more than the opening scene of Up.  On the other hand, going to the wrestling subreddit will definitely have you questioning humanity as a whole and the fact that living in an area where a wrestling presence pretty much doesn't exist like a Vince Russo-written storyline that is, you know, GOOD!?  Luckily, the latter retracted my con as a fan because I'm talking about Wrestlefest DXB and their latest joint, "971 Fahrenheit".  Martin Bushby of now Post Wrestling Alumni brought the event to my attention because like a wrestler on an episode of RAW I get distracted all the time.  So, I decided to take a short journey to a taxi then a bus then a train then a 30-minute walk to the show itself and I know I'm going to sound biased as f**k but I l...

Let's Talk About The State Of Wrestlemania 37.

I usually save those kinds of pieces for my weekly news series, The 5 News Week due to how modern this subject is and how my essays usually dwell on the past.  Usually, it is too early to talk about an upcoming Wrestlemania in October but not this time especially since we're still in a pandemic.  This is a topic I've been thinking about all month and I had to write my thoughts on it.  Let's answer this question right away whether Wrestlemania 37 will happen in SoFii stadium next year?  from CBS Los Angeles The answer is an obvious no. But, I want to try to dig deeper and see exactly where we stand today.  As of me writing this, Wrestlemania: Hollywood edition is still scheduled to take place in SoFi stadium despite an outlet that shall not be named, claiming otherwise.  This is either sheer blind optimism or downright idiotic from Dubya, Dubya E.  WrestleVotes did mention back in July that while the event is still going to take place in the stadium,...
