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?

 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.

Should Dave Meltzer Get Rid Of His Rating System?

So a few weeks ago, good old Dave Meltzer of the wrestling observer newsletter gave the Kazuchika Okada vs Kenny omega match at dominion 2018 a 7-star rating. According to the interent wrestling database , this match is by far his HIGHEST match rating ever (i don't blame him because the match was amazing). So statistically, this is his favourite match of all time . Now, why I'm writing this now?  Well, his best match ratings have been a consistent 5 stars since 1983 with the exception of all the Omega vs Okada matches and the Mitsuharu Misawa vs Toshiaki Kawada match at AJPW's Budokan hall show in June of 1994.  There are fans that take his match ratings as an offence somehow like "Why he rates X match better than Y match?" or thinks that he "hates" WWE which is ridiculous considering that he gave three WWE matches a 5 star ratings just this past year. One was the ladder match to crown the first ever NXT North American champion, the Johnny Garga...

WWE Smackdown Live 10/7/18 | My Coherent Review.

Smackdown live was a bad show that did nothing as a wrestling fan to gain any excitement for extreme rules. Why you ask? Well i'm gonna give you what's good. No scratch that, i'm gonna give you what's ok and what's bad. Here we go. WHAT'S OK The opening segment and the brawl after that The opening segment was meh. And the brawl after that was fine. Didn't make me go "OHHHHHHHHHHH" or anything like along those lines. That brawl leads to a TEN MAN TAG TEAM match (Ummmmmm no shit omar). I will say this, the segment kinda teased the fact that maybe kane will turn on his best friend? I don't know. Should be interesting.  Andrade "cien" almas vs Sin cara The match was surprisingly decent. At one point andrade delivered a devastating stomp to sin cara on the ring apron. Andrade wins with a running knee to sin cara on the middle rope. Hoping andrade can move on to bigger and better things.  WHAT'S BAD ...

WWE Smackdown Live 19/2/19 | My Coherent Review.

This show was overall, a skippable show just like RAW yesterday and here's why.  Opening segment.  The show kicked off with Shane McMahon with his usual cheap pop. After that, Shane McMahon announced that Aleister Black, Johnny Gargano, Ricochet and Tommaso Ciampa will be on SmackDown Live just like RAW last night (click here to read my RAW review).  Out came The Miz and he said that he hasn't stop thinking about their match at Elimination Chamber. Miz also said he admitted that he used Shane because Miz wanted to make Shane McMahon understand where's Miz's coming from.  Miz then wanted a rematch between him, Shane McMahon and the Usos for the SmackDown Live tag team championship to which the Usos came out and insulted The Miz.  That led to Shane McMahon saying that the rematch is on but at Fastlane in two weeks. So we got the first official match scheduled for Fastlane and considering that Shane is a McMahon and has all the Authority, I do...
