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.

My Coherent Wrestling Wednesdays: Chris Jericho Offers Moxley To Join Inner Circle, The Go-Home Show Before Dec 18th.

I thought the middle act of AEW Dynamite suffered some pacing issues even though it was overall a much stronger show than last week's episode.  The latest episode of NXT, however, has built a solid foundation on what's to come on December 18th. The main question is, which show do I like better? The answer is AEW.  NXT  Highlights. Angel Garza vs Lio Rush For The NXT Cruiserweight Championship.  Was this match better than their first encounter? Like Snoop Dogg's verse in Sasha Banks' theme song, "Hell yea". Garza slams Rush hard on the ring apron by pushing the champ. Moments later, Garza delivers the Spanish Fly and Rush kicked out of that.  As Rush hits the frog splash, the champ wanted to pull him back in the middle of the ring but instead, he ripped off Garza's pants (nice attention to detail).  Angel then hits the wind clipper but Lio kicked out which led to a wind clipper submission and the man of the hour tapped out which m...

The 5 News Week: An Interview With ROH's Eli Isom, Fans Singing Petitions For Charlotte Flair Not Winning Titles Anymore!?

Hello, my fellow wrestling fans and welcome to the 5 news week. The post where I report 5 major or minor news of the week that I don't have time to do it separately. Without further ado, here are the 5 news week. An Interview With ROH's Eli Isom.  Yes. After several and several and several of The 5 News Week articles that I've been putting out since late 2018, I finally got an interview for you guys.  The person in question is Ring Of Honour's Eli Isom. Since graduating from the ROH Dojo, Isom has worked and learned from the absolute best in the industry:  "I’m lucky that I got a chance to train from scratch with ROH, without that kind of training who knows where I’d be right now." So, without further ado, here is the conversation I had with Eli.  Omar: My first question is, how would you describe the persona of "Eli Isom" to resident WWE shills like myself? Eli Isom: For me, my wrestling persona isn’t too far off from who I real...

A Brief Guide To Pro Wrestling Websites.

So. You just become a fan of pro wrestling and have dabbled into the fandom for a bit (it's a mess ain't it?) You've just followed some news sites' social media platforms but aren't sure whether the articles they put out are accurate or not.  Well, you got the right guy to solve that problem if it's from a blog that barely gets any traction (that would be me in case you were confused).  The news we get from the medium that is pro wrestling is an integral part of the online space.  The reason being is that it's not only a great conversation starter but you could also learn something new today about the industry you love.  That doesn't mean that all of the news you see on the timeline is reliable.  I'm here to hopefully give you a guide to wrestling sites.  There are many wrestling websites out there but I wanna highlight some of the notable ones.  Okay? Here we go.  #1: Wrestling Observer Newsletter aka F4WOnline.  I can't talk about a guide t...
