WWE RAW 1/10/18 | My Coherent Review.

Yesterday was October 1st and guess what? RAW aired that day and it was HELLA BORING. Now usually on my reviews, I give my thoughts on what's good, what's ok and what bad. However, I'm only gonna tell you what's ok and what's bad for this review because like I said earlier, this show was boring.

WHAT'S OK

Dean Ambrose vs Braun Strowman

This match was pretty much Braun Strowman manhandling Dean Ambrose with a couple of offence by Ambrose of course. By the end of the match, Braun hit two bodyslams to Ambrose until Roman Reigns and Seth Rollins comes out and threw him outta the ring. In other words, Braun wins via DQ.

Baron Corbin immediately comes out and he made a match between Seth Rollins vs Drew McIntyre and Roman Reigns vs Dolph Ziggler.

Roman Reigns vs Dolph Ziggler.

Decent match. At one point, Dolph Ziggler put his fingers on Roman's eyes and delivered a zig-zag to a near fall. Roman Reigns wins with the all-powerful, the all dominant, the all mighty spear.

Ronda Rousey vs Ruby Riott

Looks like Liv Morgan is fine which I'm happy to see. Anyways, the match was okay. Ronda wins with the armbar submission.

Bobby Roode vs Connor of the Ascension

Meh match. By the end of the match, Bobby was preparing for the glorious DDT until Victor pushed Chad gable which distracted Roode and then Connor Delivered the dominator finish to Bobby Roode and wins.

This is the first time The Ascension looked dominant since their main roster debut 3 years ago.

The B team vs The Revival

The B team wins this match in what was a forgettable tag team match until out of nowhere the authors of pain were beating the crap outta both Axel and Dallas. Not bad. Not bad at all.

Seth Rollins vs Drew McIntyre

Not as good as their first in counter but nevertheless a decent match. Claymore kick got Drew the win via a distraction from Seth. After the match, Seth got beat up by Dolph and Drew until Roman Reigns comes out to save him.

Then Braun comes out to beat both Reigns and Rollins until Dean Ambrose comes out to save them and he got his ass kicked by Braun Strowman.

Bobby Lashley vs Kevin Owens

Before the match, both Owens and Elias got booed like as if Roman was there until Lio Rush shows up and pretty much introduces Bobby Lashley. The match itself was fine. Kevin Owens wins via a distraction from Bobby Lashley. By the end of the match, Lashley tried to beat Elias, however, Kevin Owens hit Lashley from behind and it was a 2 on 1 beat down.

Bayley vs Alicia Fox

Bayley wins with the Bayley to belly finish. That's it. You haven't missed much.

Shawn Michaels on RAW

You know you guys feel old when Shawn Michaels is now bold which doesn't really fits him but whatever. The segment was a decent way to end in what was a boring Monday night RAW.

WHAT'S BAD

The Opening Segment

The show starts with Charly Caruso asking Dean Ambrose did you believe in what Dolph Ziggler and Drew McIntyre said last week and have you thought about leaving the shield to which Dean Ambrose basically answered with a yes in the sense that he won the WWE championship all by himself.

He also said that he's waiting for the right moment to turn his back on his "brothers" if that's what people are thinking about it. Caruso then played a footage of last week where Dean thought of turning his back on Reigns and Rollins but he didn't.

Caruso asked him "What was going through your mind there?" Dean answered with pretty saying that he's should've gone to Smackdown but he stayed on RAW to be with his "brothers".

He then told Caruso that she should judge him based on his actions last week. His promo ends with him saying that the shield is a brotherhood and that's it.

Baron Corbin came out to the ring and gave Dean three options. One, face Seth Rollins for the intercontinental championship. Two, face Roman Reigns for the universal championship and three, face Braun Strowman in singles action.

I enjoyed that segment and would've put it in what's good up in till Baron Corbin forced him the third option which doesn't make any sense as usual with RAW. He could've just gave him two options and if he disobeys him then he goes one on one with Strowman but that's just me.

A moment of Bliss

Why? Because not only the segment itself was boring but the math in this made no sense and shout out to Italo Santana on twitter for pointing that out.

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...
