WWE RAW 5/11/18 | My Coherent Review.

The first RAW of November 2018 and as usual, it sucked. Why you ask? Well, I’m gonna tell you what’s good, what’s ok and what’s bad. Here we go.

WHAT’S BAD

Sasha Banks, Bayley and Natalya vs The Riott Squad

Sasha and Bayley comfort Natalya as The Riott Squad make their exit.

Look, I just wanna get this out of the way. Not only the match itself felt very similar to last week's match but the ending made NO SENSE whatsoever. If you don’t know what I’m talking about pretty much by the end of the match, Natalya did the sharpshooter to Sarah Logan and then Ruby Riott grabbed Jim NeidHart’s glasses and broke it which made Natalya cry. I mean, who won this match? Was it the Riott Squad or the team of Sasha Banks, Bayley and Natalya? Sadly, just like the whole “Who threw the pie at Kevin Owens’ face?” We will never know.

Nia Jax vs Ember Moon and Finn Balor vs Bobby Lashley

Why do those matches exist again? I put those matches in one post because just like the 6 women tag match, the matches felt way too similar to the previous matches in the sense that they’re average at best and I get that this is a 3 hour show and you need to do something in that timeframe but it is frustrating as a viewer to see the same matches with a similar outcome over and over again. I like the new turn of character that Bobby Lashley is portraying but you’re not gonna make me care about him as a character if you have him face the same person for the past weeks.

WHAT’S OK

The opening segment

... and chases Corbin out of the squared circle and up the ramp!

This was an okay segment to start off RAW. Baron Corbin announced that he is team captain for RAW men's team even though he’s not going to compete in the actual match. He then picked three members of team RAW so far and they are Dolph Ziggler, Drew McIntyre and Braun Strowman.

Baron Corbin chose Alexa Bliss to be captain for RAW women’s team and she announced a six women tag match between Sasha Banks, Bayley and Natalya which you already know my opinions on it.

She declared the match to start now and she was interrupted by the former GM of RAW Kurt Angle. Kurt said that he lead his RAW team to victory last year and he wants to be part of Team RAW and Baron refused.

Kurt then wanted to face Baron and if he wins then he’s team RAW captain to which Corbin accepted. Corbin wanted Bliss to finish what she said and she was interrupted again. This time it was Braun Strowman and he wasted no time to brawl with the acting GM. Again, it was okay.

Apollo Crews vs Jinder Mahal

I can’t believe Jinder Mahal was the same person who won the WWE title and now a year later he’s misused on TV but at least Apollo got a somewhat big won. He won with the standing moonsault.

Ronda Rousey promo

I thought the promo was okay. Short and to the point. After that, Nia Jax came out to the ring and pretty much stated that she’s waiting for Ronda after Survivor Series. Whatever.

Elias vs Dolph Ziggler

Decent match. During the match, Elias did the knee strike that Kenny Omega does called the V trigger which doesn’t look as brutal compared to Kenny Omega. Elias then pushed Ziggler to the middle rope and delivered the drift away which gave him the W in this match.

WHAT’S GOOD

Drew McIntyre vs Kurt Angle

Now, this was supposed to be Kurt vs Baron but the reason why that match didn’t happen is that Baron took the limo and left to stay away from Braun Strowman. Now, the main reason why I liked this match was the finish and it fits considering that Drew is a heel (No shit, Omar). Drew won with the ankle lock.

AOP vs Seth Rollins for the RAW Tag Team Championship

The match was pretty much AOP man handling Seth Rollins for most of the match but it was surprisingly entertaining. AOP won the match with a double team manoeuvre. In other words, they are the new RAW tag team champions. After that, Dean was lurking around the outside, came into the ring, said this “Do you wanna know why I did what I did?”, stared at Seth with Seth asking why and immediately hit the dirty deeds. This is the storyline that keeps me from watching this poorly booked show and I'm hoping that it gets better in the coming weeks.

WWE Survivor Series 2018 | My Coherent Review.

Hello, my fellow wrestling fans reading this and welcome to my coherent review for Survivor Series 2018. Overall, it was a very entertaining show throughout with some minor issues and here's why. (KICK OFF SHOW) Tag team Survivor Series match This match was a great example of a skippable match until the last moments. Xavier Woods did the springboard elbow drop and both members of The Revival countered that into a shatter machine which look amazing. Minutes later, Scott Dawson hit a superplex to Jimmy Uso and an immediate frog splash from Dash Wilder to a near fall. After that, Both Usos hit a superkick to Dash followed by a Uso splash and just like that, the Smackdown team took the W which WWE wants to forget about that (so stupid). A decent match but with a boring start in my opinion. (MAIN SHOW) Women’s Survivor Series match Before the match started when Nia Jax’s music hit, she got volcanic heat from the Los Ang...

WWE Wrestlemania: Backlash 2021 | A Coherent Review.

Wrestlemania: Backlash or as I like to call it, Backlashimania, gets an enthusiastic thumbs up for me. I enjoyed the hell out of this PPV overall. Images via WWE.com The opening intro was narrated by the greatest of all time, Batista and it was straight badass despite the fact it was pretty much a promotion for Zack Snyder's new film, Army Of The Dead. If you've read my about page, then you'll know that I ain't talking about Zack Snyder movies because his fans are…… never mind. Rhea Ripley vs Charlotte Flair vs Asuka For The RAW Women's Championship. Charlotte with the Cruella De Vil inspired ring gear was to quote Dolph Ziggler's old theme song, "perfection". The opening bout was fast-paced, high octane action that didn't have a slow/dull moment. All of these women utilized quick grapples and strikes to their advantage. Charlotte was this close to capturing the title but she was pushed to the outside, nailed the riptide to Asuka and that...

WWE NXT 2.0 16/11/21 | A Coherent Review.

I haven't reviewed NXT in two weeks and holy crap, I didn't miss much at all. This week's show was BO. RING and I'm trying to make this interesting by adding my lame a** humour and you know you f'd up when I have to rely on my jokes to make this week's NXT discussion somewhat engaging. Images via WWE.com Tony D'Angelo vs Dexter Lumis. The scary white man vs The spicy white man. WHO WILL SURVIVE!? The answer is my favourite POC wrestler currently, Tony D'Angelo (that joke will never get old). Johnny Gargano came to check on Dexter Lumis after Camelo Hayes and Trick Williams destroyed Lumis' hand. Minutes later, all three guys in Dunne, Gargano and Hayes announced a triple threat match for the North American championship. Should be a good match, is all I'm going to say about that. Odyssey Jones And Jacket Time vs The Diamond Mine. First off, Jacket time isn't a good tag team name. It sounds like me as a 5-year-old after wearing ...
