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. 

Sound off in the comments on what do you think about RAW last week and follow the blog for honest pro wrestling opinions. Anyways, stay safe smarks.

WWE Extreme Rules 2019 | My Coherent Review.

Man, I'm impressed with WWE in terms of PPVs as of late because overall, this was a fantastic show in my opinion with great matches but the crowd was dead for most of the show so that sucks.  I finally watched the pre-show match between Finn Balor and Shinsuke Nakamura before I went to bed because the show aired at 2 am where I live and it was okay.  By the way, how interesting is it when on last year’s Extreme Rules show, Shinsuke Nakamura won the United States championship and now this year’s show, he won the intercontinental title. Also, it's funny that the intercontinental championship was the main event on last's year show and on this year's Extreme Rules PPV, it's on the preshow.  Shane McMahon and Drew McIntyre vs Roman Reigns and The Undertaker.  Mike Rome did better in announcing "The Best In the world" this time than on RAW. Mike Rome's announcement a few weeks ago sounded like that one friend that thinks he/she knows how to ...

NXT Takeover: In Your House 2020 | A Coherent Review.

NXT Takeover: In Your House is like the rest of the Takeover shows, a fantastic 2 hours of professional wrestling.  What makes this show special is the additional nostalgia like how the show started with the NXT WWF inspired intro, the ice cream commercial narrated by William Regal doing his best Lord Alferd Hayes impression, icopro commercial and last but not least, Todd Pettengill.  This is a show that I'm definitely rewatching in years to come.  Mia Yim, Tegan Nox And Shotzi Blackheart vs Raquel Gonzalez, Candice LeRae And Dakota Kai.  A decent opening match. During the match, Nox did a Molly Holly top rope on to every competitor in the match.  Yim tried to give LeRae some Seoul Food but LeRae reversed that into a suplex. Several minutes later, Shotzi did a Salida Del Sol of some sort on Gonzalez to which Nox delivered the shiniest wizard on Kai and won the match.  Finn Balor vs Damian Priest. I actually thought that the closing mo...

The Coherent Wrestling Wednesdays: Holy Sh*t, The Revival Are All Elite, Matt Riddle vs Timothy Thatcher In A Unique Steel Cage Match.

Both shows had its weak points but overall, that was an enjoyable 4 hours of professional wrestling television. I personally liked AEW Dynamite this week.  From an awesome women's match with Shida and Christi Jaynes to The Revival showing up, AEW managed to give me a solid episode and successfully furthered their storylines to next week's exciting show.  NXT   Highlights (at least in my opinion because wrestling is subjective).  Kushida vs Drake Maverick vs Jake Atlas. Triple Threat Match Interim Cruiserweight Championship Tournament.  What a way to kick off this episode of NXT, am I right? Atlas delivered the rainbow DDT but Kushida broke Jake's pin.  Speaking of Kushida, he nailed the armbar submission, however, Drake pinned Atlas because Atlas' shoulders were on the mat and will meet El Hijo Del Fantasma for the finals next week.  I don't know if Drake is rehired or he's going to be rehired but Maverick has a big ta...
