WWE RAW 3/9/18 | My Coherent Review.

RAW last night was bad, boring and for the most part unbearable to watch. 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

Shawn Michaels gives his prediction between Triple H and the Undertaker

Shawn Michaels comes out with a standing ovation because he's Shawn freaking Michaels. He predicts that his boy triple h wins that match and the reason being is because he has a lot left in the tank compared to the undertaker which sadly I agree with him. After that the Undertaker's music hit and comes out to the ring and that's when the segment got a lot better mainly because their match at WrestleMania 26 was fantastic. If you're telling me that two legends of that industry had the segment of the night then WWE needs to really get their priorities straight. 

WHAT'S OK

The opening segment

The promo starts with him replaying the events of that awful ending last week via a promo via a promo package. The reason for his beat down was because he wanted to give him the taste of his own medicine pretty much and with Drew and Dolph by his side, they're unstoppable. The shield then comes out and wasted no time to attack them and all the male wrestlers on RAW were trying to separate all 6 men. This feels like I've seen this before but I didn't really hate it all that much unlike the ending last week. 

The Bella twins vs the riott squad

Their first match as a team in three but was it decent? I would say yes. At one point in commentary, when brie was hitting the yes kicks to Sarah Logan, Corey Graves said that it's nice of her for shouting out the miz with her yes kicks which made me laugh. The match was fine, the Bella twins win with Nikki delivering the rack attack 2.0 to Liv Morgan. 

Bobby Roode and Chad Gable vs The Ascension

Meh match. The team of Chad Gable and Bobby Roode wins with Chad's modified German suplex. 


Elias Concert but with an interruption AGAIN!

Elias was you know, doing his thing but then Alexa Bliss of all people comes out and does a face/heel promo swerve cliché and then she's flirting with him. That segment leads to a Natalya vs Alexa bliss match and it was like RAW last night was meh. Bliss wins with the armbar finish to Natalya that normally Ronda uses with her finish. Whatever. 


The B team vs the revival

Before the match, the revival got their ass kicked by Dolph and Drew. So now the match is the B team vs Dolph and Drew for the RAW tag team championship. Match was decent. The match ends with Dolph hitting the superkick and then did their double team manoeuvre to axel and wins the match and the championship and all I can say is FINALLY!


WHAT'S BAD

Authors of pain vs local jobbers 
A picture is worth a thousand words and this one is no exception. Anyways with jobbers involved, this is an obvious squash match. They win with the last chapter.

Sasha and Bayley vs Dana Brooke and Ember Moon.

If most of the match the commentary were talking about the Undertaker/ Shawn Michaels segment then you can pretty much tell that this match was a waste. A short waste because the team of Sasha and Bayley wins the match. 


Why Would You Put Me To This WWE? 

Image result for WWE Raw
 This segment was laughably AWFUL. What a waste of time. It's so bad that I don't wanna go over with this segment and what a lame way to bring back Owens like all this intrigue for nothing. 

At this point, the show was so frustratingly boring that I didn't watch the entire Braun Strowman vs Finn Balor match. I watched it on YouTube and what happened after the match and what I’ve seen, It was pretty much similar to last week's beatdown.

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 White Rabbit In The Room.

I haven't reviewed last year's show mainly because it was so good and clearly as extreme as any ECW match and I'm happy to tell all 3 of y'all that this one is better by several inches or so. Why? *slaps my bald head* HERE'S WHY. The opening match between Sheamus and Gunther's crew ruled harder than the Mongolian empire.  It was basically an enhanced version of Sheamus' match with Gunther last night on Smackdown and I loved it.  The Brawling Brutes' victory means one thing that is clearly obvious, a rematch between Sheamus and Gunther for the intercontinental championship aka the only series of rematches I don't mind.  Ronda Rousey and Liv Morgan delivered in what was a wrestling match equivalent to the X-Men Dark Phoenix movie.  While Bianca Belair and Bayley had their equivalent to the first Iron Man movie in that it was decent.  Drew McIntyre and Karrion Kross had an okay edition of the "Meaty men slapping meat".  That spear from Edge to...

A Few Thoughts On RAW And Smackdown: RAW wasn't GREAT!?

  Since this blog will be less of a priority now considering I'm focusing on my podcast now (hit the 5 stars on Apple Podcast you sons of b*tches), I decided to share my few thoughts on RAW, Smackdown, I guess?  Smackdown.  The blue brand delivered yet another good episode this week and it's probably due to the fact that Braun Strowman taking out the Maximum Model is high-key funny as f**k.  The folks over at Titan Towers are bringing back the essence of their characters whether it's Kevin Owens, Shayna Baszler or in this case, Big Braun himself.   As a fan, you gotta love it, especially since in the case of Strowman, the dude hasn't been the same since he turned heel 4 years ago when feuding with Roman Reigns for the universal title.   Other noteworthy segments include Logan Paul challenging Roman Reigns for the big world universal multiverse galactic cinematic championship.  Imagine they pulled that match off 7 years ago back when Logan was on V...
