WWE RAW 17/12/18 | My Coherent Review.

While it was overall a mediocre show, it was at least a bit better than the previous RAWs but that's not saying much in my opinion. Why you ask? Well, usually on my reviews, I give my thoughts on what's good, what's ok and what bad. However, I'm only gonna tell you what's ok and what's bad for this review because like I said earlier, this show was mediocre. Without further ado, on with the review. 

WHAT’S BAD

Well. Vince McMahon Returned And……..

The Chairman reminds everyone that Raw has been on the air for 25 years and that they change with the times.
This segment was worth a YouTube video and not on prime time television. They brought Vince McMahon and this is the best they got? 

This led to a Kurt Angle facing Baron Corbin and after the commercial break, Triple H announced that this match is a handicap match which led to Bobby Roode, Chad Gable and Apollo Crews come out. Shane came out and announced that this match has no DQ rules. The babyfaces won the match and then they put Corbin through a table. 

This pissed me off for reasons such as it’s the same thing as the Baron Corbin and Braun Strowman match at TLC. Seriously, F this whole thing. 

And to all those people who are bothered by me and everybody else being critical with this show, understand that it’s all opinions and you don’t need to make excuses as to why people don’t like this show. 

Bobby Lashley Flexes for what it feels like the trillionth time

After Bobby shows off his butt, Elias hit Lashley with the guitar and exited the ring while Elias’s music was playing. My question is, WHEN IS THIS FEUD GONNA END!? 

WHAT’S OK

Finn Balor vs Dolph Ziggler

Decent match. The match ended in a DQ because Drew McIntyre came out and assaulted both Finn and Ziggler. 

The New Intercontinental Champion Dean Ambrose Speaks 

“I took the most important thing in Seth Rollins’ life, and I’m just getting started. When I’m done, Seth Rollins will have nothing left!”
Dean Ambrose with his SWAT team came out and Dean cut a promo on how he predicted his win at TLC and how he’s doesn’t care what people think because he’s the new champ. He then called out Seth Rollins and Seth didn’t show up. 

After that, Dean called for an open challenge to which Tyler Breeze answered the challenge just like when Tyler Breeze answered the open challenge for Ricochet’s North American Championship and speaking of the Intercontinental Championship match.

The match ended faster than the speed of light (not literally of course). After Dean retained the title with the dirty deeds, Seth’s music hit and Seth dressed as one of the SWAT team beat all the SWAT team while Ambrose exited the ring quickly. Whatever. 

Fatal Four Way Match Number One Contender Match For The Tag Team Championship

Another decent match. The Revival won the match and are facing the tag champs with the shatter machine. Not bad and I’m hoping that this is a step in the right direction for the RAW tag team division but unfortunately, I highly doubt that. 

Gauntlet match. Winner Faces The RAW Women's Champion 

WWE Photo
This match went over 53 minutes and honestly, I’m not shocked by that number considering that it was a snooze fest. Natalya won the whole thing and she’s facing the RAW women’s champion, Ronda Rousey. I honestly don’t mind the win considering that Natalya is a solid wrestler and Ronda is improving week by week so it should be a decent match hopefully. 

My question is, what do you think about RAW last night? Let me know in the comments below and click here to read my TLC review. Make sure to follow the blog for honest pro wrestling opinions and stay safe smarks.

WWE NXT Takeover: Toronto | My Coherent Review.

Another month or so, another great NXT Takeover event courtesy of the NXT creative team filled with top-notch in-ring action and storytelling. I know it feels tiresome when you heard people praise highly talk about the Takeover shows but trust me they are that good.  The Street Profits vs The Undisputed Era for the NXT Tag Team Championship. During the match, Montez Ford delivered the people's elbow after hitting a spinebuster on Bobby Fish. The match ended with a frog splash from Montez Ford and The Street Profits continues to celebrate as tag team champions.  I'm very conflicted with this decision mainly because I don't want to see more okay matches between The Forgotten Sons and Danny Burch and Oney Lorcan but I'm going to be optimistic hoping that it's not the case.  Io Shirai vs Candice Lerae.  Io's theme song is simple yet badass at the same time (no shit, Omar). The match started off with Candice rushing to the ring and brawled on the outs...

WWE RAW 17/9/18 | My Coherent Review.

RAW was a mediocre show that had some redeeming qualities but for the most part again, it was a mediocre 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 Dean Ambrose vs Drew McIntyre   Good match. It was surprisingly hard hitting in my opinion but there was a dumb babyface moment where dean jumped from a ring post and Drew reversed it and instead Dean hit himself on the barricade. After that, Drew hit the claymore kick and wins the match.  The opening segment  Overall, the segment was pretty good but the most interesting thing I've noticed in this segment was Roman Reigns' promo before Strowman showed up. In my opinion, he has come a LONG way in terms of mic skills. Don't get me wrong he's not "the best talker in WWE right now" but he has improved a lot. But that didn't stop me from thinking that the main event of that show was boring as hell. Lio rush....

The 5 News Week: Florida Men In Government Talks About The Relationship Between WWE And The State.

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. Tony Khan Wrote All Recent Episodes Of Dynamite All By Himself?  I've talked about Tony's other position as a writer for AEW on the February 16th edition of this very series and it's always interesting to read the stories involving the creative process of AEW television.  AEW's Dynamite show had recently aired its last set of filming and for the most part, they were fantastic and it's all thanks to one man, Vince Russo * stutters * I mean, Tony Khan.  From PWInsider and Mikey Johnson , The owner of AEW wrote all of the Dynamite scripts that were eventually taped in Georgia after he realized that the show was going to have a small crew because of the shut down across the country of US of A. The American nightmare himself, Cody has als...
