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 Angeles crowd and it did continue during the match at certain moments which made me laugh Ted Dibasie style. 

This ain’t a Survivor Series match without quick eliminations. Naomi got eliminated via a superkick from Tamina and then outta nowhere, Carmella eliminated Tamina via a school boy roll up. 

By the end of the match, Asuka eliminated Sasha Banks via the Asuka lock. Immediately after that, Nia delivered two leg drops followed by a Samoan drop and won the match. 

Not surprised by the finish considering that she has a title match coming up but it was disappointing that Asuka got eliminated like that with no offense given to Nia Jax. Overall an okay opener in my opinion. 

Seth Rollins (Intercontinental Champion) vs Shinsuke Nakamura (United States Champion) 


Started out slow but picked up pretty nicely in my opinion. At one point, Shinsuke was on the top rope then Seth grabbed him and delivered a superplex into a falcon’s arrow to a near fall.  By the end of the match, Shinsuke tried to hit the Kinshasa but Seth countered it into the stomp and won the match. 

Two things that bothered me was one, the Los Angeles crowd didn’t do it justice beacuse the match was very good and two, Nakamura losing was a mistake considering that he’s been doing nothing on Smackdown Live besides facing Rusev, hence losing a lot of momentum. Shinsuke Nakamura is the US champion and he needs to treated as a champion instead of being underutilised.  

The Bar (Smackdown Tag Team Champion ) vs AOP (RAW Tag Team champion) 


This was a quick match. Nothing really in this match in my opinion. AOP won that match with the double team powerbomb. 

Mustafa Ali vs Buddy Murphy for the Cruiserweight Championship 


That moment where Murphy pushed Ali outside of the ring looked absolutely brutal. This was my match of the night I mean that Spanish fly Mustafa Ali delivered to Murphy on the outside like DAMN! Buddy Murphy retained the championship via Murphy's Law which is a pumphandle lift into Whale Hunt.

Men’s Survivor Series match

This match was all over the place in a good way. Samoa Joe was out of the via an elimination by Drew McIntyre which I wished that Jeff Hardy took that spot instead of Joe considering that Jeff has nothing going on storyline wise in my opinion. RAW won the match which wasn’t surprising given that the arena that will host this year’s TLC PPV promoted a match between Braun Strowman and Baron Corbin. 

Ronda Rousey (RAW Women’s Champion) vs Charlotte Flair

I can’t do it justice by me just talking about how great this match was. It’s a FANTASTIC match with a FANTASTIC ending and I’ll explain what happened in the ending. Ronda was running to Charlotte until Charlotte grabbed a kendo stick and from there on, she destroyed the holy hell outta Ronda. 

The best part about this is that Charlotte was bland as a babyface and her turning heel like that out of nowhere was great. Props to Charlotte and Ronda for giving us a great match. 

Daniel Bryan (WWE Champion) vs Brock Lesnar (Universal Champion) 


This was uncomfortable to watch for the sake of Bryan’s health and well being until the last parts of the match. Bryan Lowblowed Lesnar and delivered the running knee to a near fall. Moments later, Daniel did the yes lock to Brock which almost made him tap until Bryan himself reversed that into a triangle lock which Brock Lesnar then reversed it into an F5 and won the match. That was a great match with a slow start.

WWE RAW 11/2/19 | My Coherent Review.

This go home show makes me wanna go home if I was an attendance of this show. In other words, RAW wasn't good and here's why.  Opening Segment.  The show started off with The Authority. A stable that I actually don't mind but that a different topic. Anyways, they run down the Elimination Chamber PPV card. After that, The Man Becky Lynch came out and Triple H said that he will lift the suspension if Becky apologizes to both him and Stephanie.    Becky then told Stephanie to shut her face and she refused to apologize. The segment ended with Hunter giving her two choices. Either Becky apologizes to them or Becky's WrestleMania match is off.  Compared to the segments on RAW and Smackdown last week, this was underwhelming.  Sasha and Bayley vs Liv Morgan and Sarah Logan vs Nia Jax and Tamina. Loser enters first in the Elimination Chamber match.  The match was fine. During the match, Bayley delivered two stunners on the ...

AEW Full Gear 2020 | A Coherent Review.

While Full Gear was a big improvement compared to All Out, the pacing in their PPVs still needs a LOT of work.  I was yawning way too much in the 2nd hour even though I had a 9-hour sleep yesterday.   With a card like this, it doesn't need to be 4 hours.  Oh, and that Serena Deeb and Allysin Kay match on the pre-show was decent.  Kenny Omega vs Hangman Page. AEW World Championship Number One Contender's Tournament Finals.  Hangman Page doesn't have time to play "sportsmanship" as he's nailing Omega with some brutal elbow strikes throughout the first 10 or so minutes.  Speaking of brutal, Page delivered a devastating powerbomb on the stage ramp to Omega and then a sitout powerbomb in the ring to a near fall.  Unfortunately for Hangman, he was taken out with the one-winged angel from Kenny to win the entire tournament.  An enjoyable opener although it could've been just a tiny bit better but I'm nitpicking.  The elite brand will have an an...

AEW Double Or Nothing | My Coherent Review.

I was supposed to post this review two hours after the show aired but my internet connection went down for several hours and I got extremely frustrated and if you’re addicted to the interwebs, that is probably the scariest thing ever other than your worst fear of course. Anyways, I, unfortunately, haven't watched the two pre-show matches because I was out working. So, the million dollar question, was AEW's Double Or Nothing a great show? I'm happy to announce that it was an outstanding PPV overall. One of the problems I had with ALL IN is the match card placements and they fixed it in this PPV.  Oh, and I'm warning you guys that this PPV review is longer than my Wrestlemania 35 review (which you can click here ) just because a lot of things happened on this show. Unfortunately, I couldn’t find pictures for each match so y’all are only going to see the writing.  Double Or Nothing started off with the Hamilton stars sang the American National anthem (omg, can Ja...
