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 NXT Takeover: XXV | My Coherent Review.

Look guys, I don't need to tell you this. This was a great show. Now, you're probably be asking "if you don't need to tell me this then why are you to quote yourself, TELLING ME THIS!?" Good question but the reason why is because I like to talk about great pro wrestling.  Matt Riddle vs Roderick Strong.  An absolute must rewatch match for me and a must watch for you guys if you haven't seen it. Match started off with some amateur wrestling style takedown from both guys.  Then, Roderick Strong hit a modified back suplex on the ring apron. By then, Riddle hits Strong with a brainbuster. Riddle had the highlight of that match by hitting Strong with a go to sleep (yes, that go to sleep) into a German suplex with a bridge.  Roderick hits a powerbomb pin into a Boston crab then the match ends with Riddle delivered with a move that I wish I knew what the name of it was.  Street Profits vs The Forgotten Sons (in Steve Cutler and Wesley Blake) vs The Undi...

A Guide On How To Improve Wrestling Criticism.

Now, before you all verbally eat me alive like a hippopotamus (yes hippos eat humans, look that up), understand that I’m just an average dude writing about pro wrestling and doesn’t claim to be an expert in anything and that includes professional wrestling (except cooking. I’m damn good at cooking).  However, what I’ve been discovering as a pro wrestling blogger for over a year is that there are some wrestling criticism out there that just make me wanna scratch my head to the point where my hands turn into an electric shaver if that makes sense. For instance, “Why is Ricochet’s trunks red instead of white?” or “Why’s Andrade wearing his Luchador mask for his entrance every week?”  In other words, they’re nitpicking and trust me I do that ALL THE TIME in my wrestling reviews. There’s nothing wrong with nitpicking certain things but the difference is that I acknowledge that I’m nitpicking and those guys clearly don’t.  There are fans out there on the interweb that b...

WWE Wrestlemania 26 | A Coherent Review.

I've teased a mystery review on my Facebook page (which you can click here to follow us) and that mystery has now been unveiled. It's Wrestlemania 26. This review was delayed and was supposed to be up last Monday but at least is now up. Also, The first draft of this review was 7 pages long so strap in. By far, the longest review on this very website.  I thought it would be fitting to review a Wrestlemania from a decade back and how do I feel about it? It was a show that if you watched it, you're most likely going to have a good time. It was a mix of great things but terrible things at the same time as most shows.  The 26th edition of Wrestlemania took place in the University of Phoenix Stadium in the Phoenix suburb of Glendale, Arizona on March 28th, 2010.  The commentators were Micheal Cole, Jerry Lawler and Matt Striker. Honestly, Striker was pretty good and a far better colour commentator than Lawler was on this show (even today, Lawler is still bleh on commen...
