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.

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.

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...
