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

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 Extreme Rules 2019 | My Coherent Review.

Man, I'm impressed with WWE in terms of PPVs as of late because overall, this was a fantastic show in my opinion with great matches but the crowd was dead for most of the show so that sucks.  I finally watched the pre-show match between Finn Balor and Shinsuke Nakamura before I went to bed because the show aired at 2 am where I live and it was okay.  By the way, how interesting is it when on last year’s Extreme Rules show, Shinsuke Nakamura won the United States championship and now this year’s show, he won the intercontinental title. Also, it's funny that the intercontinental championship was the main event on last's year show and on this year's Extreme Rules PPV, it's on the preshow.  Shane McMahon and Drew McIntyre vs Roman Reigns and The Undertaker.  Mike Rome did better in announcing "The Best In the world" this time than on RAW. Mike Rome's announcement a few weeks ago sounded like that one friend that thinks he/she knows how to ...

NXT Takeover: In Your House 2020 | A Coherent Review.

NXT Takeover: In Your House is like the rest of the Takeover shows, a fantastic 2 hours of professional wrestling.  What makes this show special is the additional nostalgia like how the show started with the NXT WWF inspired intro, the ice cream commercial narrated by William Regal doing his best Lord Alferd Hayes impression, icopro commercial and last but not least, Todd Pettengill.  This is a show that I'm definitely rewatching in years to come.  Mia Yim, Tegan Nox And Shotzi Blackheart vs Raquel Gonzalez, Candice LeRae And Dakota Kai.  A decent opening match. During the match, Nox did a Molly Holly top rope on to every competitor in the match.  Yim tried to give LeRae some Seoul Food but LeRae reversed that into a suplex. Several minutes later, Shotzi did a Salida Del Sol of some sort on Gonzalez to which Nox delivered the shiniest wizard on Kai and won the match.  Finn Balor vs Damian Priest. I actually thought that the closing mo...

The Coherent Wrestling Wednesdays: Holy Sh*t, The Revival Are All Elite, Matt Riddle vs Timothy Thatcher In A Unique Steel Cage Match.

Both shows had its weak points but overall, that was an enjoyable 4 hours of professional wrestling television. I personally liked AEW Dynamite this week.  From an awesome women's match with Shida and Christi Jaynes to The Revival showing up, AEW managed to give me a solid episode and successfully furthered their storylines to next week's exciting show.  NXT   Highlights (at least in my opinion because wrestling is subjective).  Kushida vs Drake Maverick vs Jake Atlas. Triple Threat Match Interim Cruiserweight Championship Tournament.  What a way to kick off this episode of NXT, am I right? Atlas delivered the rainbow DDT but Kushida broke Jake's pin.  Speaking of Kushida, he nailed the armbar submission, however, Drake pinned Atlas because Atlas' shoulders were on the mat and will meet El Hijo Del Fantasma for the finals next week.  I don't know if Drake is rehired or he's going to be rehired but Maverick has a big ta...
