WWE RAW 19/11/18 | My Coherent Review.

As usual, RAW was terrible. Why you ask? Well, I’m gonna tell you what’s good, what’s ok and what’s bad. However, this time it’s only what’s bad and what's okay because you know why. Here we go. 

WHAT'S BAD

The opening segment

RAW starting off with a bland, boring, formulaic (in a bad way) and generic opening segment and the unfortunate thing is that this formula ain’t ending anytime soon. Now, they announced officially a match between Braun Strowman and Baron Corbin in a Tables, Ladders and Chairs match but with one condition given to both participants of that match. 

If Baron Corbin wins then he’s permanently the RAW general manager. If Braun Strowman wins then he’s facing Brock Lesnar for the Universal Championship at the Royal Rumble. Corbin then made a six-man tag match and Stephanie McMahon made it the opening match of this show and speaking of which……  

WHAT’S OK

Braun Strowman, Finn Balor and Elias vs Baron Corbin, Bobby Lashley and Drew McIntyre

A six-man elimination tag match and it was decent. Drew eliminated Finn Balor with the Claymore kick. Bobby Lashley speared Elias on the outside which eliminated Elias via a count out. The entire match ended in a DQ by Drew McIntyre with a chair and then a 3 on 1 beatdown happened between Drew, Lashley, Corbin and Strowman. 

This is probably the weakest I've seen Braun Strowman look. Don't know yet if that’s a good thing or a bad thing given that Drew looked like a legit badass in this and that could help him in the long run but will see. 

Sasha Banks and Bayley vs Nia Jax and Tamina

An okay match in my opinion. Nia Jax got heat but it wasn’t as loud as last night’s. Since Nia Jax now known as the face breaker, is she going to use a knockout punch as her finish? The answer is, god I hope not. The team of Nia Jax and Tamina won the match with Nia Jax delivered a Samoan drop to Bayley. 

Seth Rollins looks for Dean Ambrose

Wow, Dean Ambrose channelling his inner Samoa Joe with his manipulations. The Roman Reigns line was not only disgusting but it was extremely lazy like the writers can’t come up with ways to get heat from Dean? 

For that, I had to put it on what’s ok even though this is the best thing going on right now on RAW. By the way, 2018 is the year of low blows don’t cha agree? 

Ronda Rousey promo and match

Basically, this segment goes like this. Ronda was furious on the DQ finish from Charlotte and demanded to defend her championship against anyone hence, an open challenge. Baron Corbin showed up and denied her request. 

Then Ronda said that she hasn’t postponed a fight and she can take on anybody. Baron Corbin changed his mind and accepted her request. That led to a match between Mickie James and Ronda which was rather quick. Ronda retained her title with the armbar. After the match, Nia Jax warned Rousey with a fist pose. 

Bobby Roode and Chad Gable vs AOP

The team of Bobby Roode and Chad Gable won the match with a roll up from Chad Gable. Whatever. 

Lucha House Party vs The Revival

Lucha House Party won. I don’t like throwing that word around but let’s just say that the revival are buried.


Natalya vs Ruby Riott

A skippable match in my opinion. Natalya did a sharpshooter to Ruby but Sarah Logan and Liv Morgan helped Ruby from tapping out. Then, Ruby did a school boy roll up but Natalya countered that into a modified small package and That's how Natalya won the match.

THE Coherent AEW Take: I Ain't Tellin' You No Lie, The Hook Brings You Back

PAGE AND BRYAN! HOOK! HOOK! HOOK! PAGE AND BRYAN! HOOK! HOOK! HOOK!  That's it. That's the intro.  Rampage.   Highlights.  HOOOOOOOOK!  I mean, I gotta support the man himself named Hook, DUHHH!  What can I say, I like a man that is built different, quick, agile and hard……..in professional wrestling, of course.  Suffice to say, Hook does something that Kalya Braxton doesn't and that is, making all biracials proud.  FTR vs Lucha Brothers for the AEW world tag team championship Two of the best tag teams I've ever witnessed as a wrestling fan (yes, they're THAT darn good) battling it out in an opening match so banging, not even your Beats headphone can replicate it, ya feel me?  The Lucha Brothers get to walk out of this episode of Rampage still as the reigning world tag champs.  Some Other Things That Happened.  Adam Cole defeated Wheeler Yuta - Adam Cole appreciation comment.  Dynamite.  Highlights.  Hangman Page...

Escape The Undertaker | A Short Coherent Review.

The internet. The only place where your YouTube recommended is filled with "I DON'T EVEN KNOW THAT'S PG".  It is also home to Netflix which released an interactive movie produced by future Raspberry award-winning movie studio, WWE films. Look, the idea of 3 black dudes being trapped inside a house by a white conservative dead hog, is offensive and by that description alone, you weren't sure for a sec whether you were watching Netflix or the Daily Wire.  Luckily, there wasn't a cameo from Tessa Blanchard so you should be fine.  As a fan of Mass Effect 2, I love some dialogue trees that alter the events of a movie/game.  And, from a functionality standpoint, it is a technical marvel how it gives the audience the illusion of choice (you know, like our current economic system).  I say "illusion" because therein lies the main problem I have with the film. Your choices don't matter here. Even in a WWE movie, they're still trying to avoid the fan...

WWE Smackdown Live 11/9/18 | My Coherent Review.

Smackdown live was overall a good show. Why you ask? Well, I'm gonna tell you what's good, what's ok and what's bad. Here we go.  WHAT'S GOOD Jeff Hardy vs Shinsuke Nakamura The promo before this was okay however that was a goooood match. Better than their in counter at SummerSlam. Jeff was about to beat Nakamura, however, randy outta nowhere pushes hardy on the outside hence Nakamura retains the championship and Jeff wins via DQ. They had a brawl that was better than the brawl last night on RAW I'll tell you that much.  Samoa Joe telling a bedtime story in a good not boring way.   I thought from the editing to the design of the book to the way Samoa Joe express the story was fantastic. The thing I LOVE about this is that it's a outside in the box type of promo package that worked. Man, I can't wait for this match. On Sunday night when the PPV airs, I think I'm gonna call my local "WENDYYYS" (My goodness that was awfu...
