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 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...

The 5 News Week: Master P Buying House Of Glory!?, NXT TV To Air In Different Arenas!?

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 . Sorry for not posting in two days. Just some personal stuff I gotta deal with and my Coherent Wednesdays review was a bit rushed and I want to nail it in a no pun intended, coherent matter if that makes any sense? Hopefully, my reviews will get better in the coming weeks.  Master P Buying House Of Glory!?  A great example of human beings having an unpredictable nature to them (ask Vince McMahon), Master P was interviewed somewhere in Manhattan and he announced that he has brought an independent wrestling promotion based in New York called House Of Glory or HOG which was founded by Brian XL and Impact Alumni Amazing Red in 2014.  PWInsider and Mike Johnson gave an update to this story stating that Master P will deliver the "muscle and production team" goi...

WWE NXT 17/7/19 | My Coherent Review.

I didn't feel anything about this show overall besides one very good match and an impactful debut. Here's why.  Matt Riddle vs Arturo Ruas.  Those two guys have a background in MMA so it was really interesting as to how the match turned out. Started out with some technical wrestling which if you've been a follower of this blog then you'll know how much I LOVE technical submission wrestling.   The match ended with Matt Riddle delivering a series of rights and the ref stopped it which means that Matt won the match. After that, a masked man revealed as Killan Dan was beating the crap out of him and it was so bad that Mauro Ranallo screamed "Mamma Mia" on top of his lungs which is pretty rare. I actually really liked this. It's a different way to debut somebody and insert that person quickly in a feud instead of having that superstar wrestle in so many squash matches which I don't mind if they went in that route.  The Street Profits ...
