WWE RAW 29/10/18 | My Coherent Review.

I haven't reviewed RAW in 2 weeks so was this show worth me reviewing it in the sense that it is any good? No, it's boring as usual with RAW. Why you ask? Well, I'm gonna tell you what's good, what's ok and what's bad.  

WHAT'S GOOD 

Seth Rollins Calls Out Dean Ambrose 

“You know what man? You really are a cold-hearted bastard,” Rollins says. “You spat on everything The Shield ever stood for.”
This is the best Seth Rollin promo I've ever heard. It's even better than his heel promos back in late 2014/ early to late 2015. He spoke with such intensity and passion that it just made it so much better and Dean being silent was just plain awesome. Me saying how good this is doesn't do it justice so click here if you haven't seen it. 

Bobby Lashley Is Finally Not Cringe-Inducing

Look, I don't give a crap about the match itself because it's literally a repeat of last week's match but I'm liking this new, serious Bobby Lashley and it's something that he should've gotten when he came back to the company several months ago and top with a funny, charismatic Lio Rush and you got a great duo.

WHAT'S OK

The Opening Segment

Strowman drops Corbin with three Running Powerslams...
The segment is pretty much Baron Corbin cuts a promo about crown jewel taking place in God knows where according to WWE, Brock comes out with Paul Heyman and Paul cuts a promo about Brock winning the title at Crown Jewel, Braun Strowman comes out and he cuts a promo on beating Brock and winning the title, delivered a bodyslam three times to Corbin and then eats an F5 from Brock. In other words, this was a very basic segment that I don't hate but it was forgettable in my opinion.  

Sasha Banks, Bayley, Lita and Trish Stratus vs Alicia Fox, Mickie James and The Riott Squad.

I mean what do you expect? It's both matches from Evolution yesterday combined into one (Click here for my Evolution review) but I will say this, Lita did look good in the ring. The team of Sasha Banks, Bayley, Lita and Trish Stratus won that match win Natalya hitting a sharpshooter to Alicia Fox. 

Elias vs Jinder Mayhal (Kurt Angle Voice)


By the way, I can't be the only one who forgot that Elias turned babyface. Anyways, the match was rather quick so it's good for not wasting my time. Elias won with the drift away. 

Chad Gable and Bobby Roode vs AOP vs The Ascension

The match itself was fine. Bobby Roode and Chad Gable won that match with a double team neckbreaker finish. I honestly am sick and tired of this whole Chad Gable and Bobby Roode thing and I understand that turning Roode heel would've made no sense considering that there are so many heels right now on the main roster but I feel like it's too little, too late for that to happen. 

Dolph Ziggler vs Apollo Crews

I'm actually debating on whether I should watch and review Crown Jewel or not considering A, It's a WWE show and B it has two matches that I'm looking forward to. One is AJ Styles vs Daniel Bryan and Two, Kurt Angle vs Dolph Ziggler not to mention an in-ring return after 8 years but anyways this was a decent match. Dolph won here obviously with a superkick. 


Lucha House Party vs The Revival

An okay match in my opinion. Nothing special happened really. Lucha House Party won with Kalisto delivered a Salida Del Sol to Scott Dawson. 

The Brothers Of Destruction Confronts DX One Last Time Before Crown Jewel 

As Kane heads up the ramp to confront Triple H, Shawn Michaels sneaks into the ring and drills Undertaker with Sweet Chin Music.
The show ended with a decent segment and by the way, this match actually would've fitted a lot better if it was at Survivor Series but that's just me.  

WHAT'S BAD

Nia Jax vs Ember Moon

I actually would've not put in on what's bad if they added that Nia Jax's number one contendership will be on the line but nope, this ain't Monday night RAW without a series of the same matches over and over again like this one. Nia wins with a leg drop via a distraction from Ember and yes, Nia Jax turn heel I guess like as if I give a shit. 

Well, that's all folks I hope you enjoyed my coherent review and if you did then follow the blog for honest pro wrestling opinions and comment below on what do you think about RAW last night? Anyways, stay safe smarks.

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...

WWE Smackdown 14/1/22 | A Coherent Review.

WOAH, WOOOOOAH *Insert drums* BURN IT DOWN *insert more drums* Don't know why I just quoted Seth Rollins' theme song. Probably because I'm bored and have nothing else better to do on a Saturday afternoon (which explains the Smackdown review).  Now, how was the show? It was aight.  The Viking Raiders vs Angel And Humberto Carrillo vs Jinder Mahal And Shank vs Mansoor And Cesaro. Winner Gets A Blue Tag Belt Opportunity.  The best part about all of this was The Usos introduction of all 4 members. Gotta say, they're pretty natural at this and wouldn't mind them doing ring announcing full time.  The only thing they should avoid is threatening somebody with WWE lawyers.  The Viking Raiders won the whole thing and all I can say is, finally! No more Viking Raiders vs Happy Corbin and Madcap Moss matches.  Why WWE Be Messing With Sami Like That!?  That "InZayn" stunt show is sad to watch. He should've been doing so much better than trying to do knockoff Jacka**...

The 5 News Week: Bret Hart. The Next Guest On Stone Cold's Broken Skull Sessions?, WWE Made How Much From YouTube!?

We're back. Well, I'm back given that I do this all by myself but in any case, The 5 News Week has returned to your feeds wherever ever it may be. In case you're new here, basically, in one article I share the 5 major or minor news of the week. Now, there were a lot of news that I've missed in 3 weeks including a story of a WWE shareholder suing WWE and Vince McMahon (how the hell didn't I report about this?).  I'm rambling on so without further useless explanations, here are the 5 News Week.  Bret Hart. The Next Guest On Stone Cold's Broken Skull Sessions? Steve Austin has interviewed some of the wrestlers he has faced over the years on his Broken Skull Sessions show with the exception of Goldberg other than a few stare downs in a feud that everyone wishes to forget.  Another person that is no stranger to the rattlesnake is the hitman himself Bret Hart and he's reportedly the next guest. From PWInsider and Mike Johnson, Bret was in the City ...
