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 

WWE Photo
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 

WWE Photo
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.

WWE Smackdown 21/1/22 | A Coherent Review.

  Another week, another time Pat McAfee shows me why he's better than Corey Graves. Both in the ring AND on the commentary table.  As far as how I feel about this week's episode, it ain't good, people. It ain't good.  An Image via WWE.com   Sethy Mane Wanted A Tag Partner So….………. That he faces The Usos later in the show and if drippy Jesus wins, 2 out of 3 members of the Bloodline are barred off ringside in the blue title encounter (in case you were wondering, Kevin Owens was Seth's tag partner).  BUTTTTTTTTTTTT! The tribal chief had other ideas. He proposed a pitch where if the "burn it down" man loses the tag match, the Rumble match is gone, FINITO!  Bully Ray probably saw Seth Rollins' uttering Jox Moxley's name and reacted, "HOW DARE YOU!! BLASPHEMY!"  Fortunately for SR The Drip Mane, he got what he wanted via a DQ finish thanks to a superman punch from Roman Reigns. While the ending did protect the tag champs, the consequences of i...

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...

WWE Smackdown 17/7/20 | A Coherent Review.

This recent instalment of Smackdown was decent.  The women, for the most part, was the standout in this program and it honestly carried the show from a meh to a decent watch.  The show started off with Jeff Hardy and Sheamus talking about the upcoming bar fight which you can scroll down to read my thoughts on it.  Sasha Banks and Bayley Gives Us A New Perspective Of The Word "Greatness".  The so-called "golden role models" were praising their greatness to which Nikki Cross was furious about the way she lost at Extreme Rules.  So, Nikki wanted a rematch for the SmackDown women's championship and Bayley accepted that bout if Nikki faces her best friend, Alexa Bliss to determine the number one contender.  That match started immediately after this segment and it was a good opener.  Bayley and Sasha Banks were entertaining in the commentary as per usual.  When Corey Graves brought the fact that Bayley didn't want t...
