WWE RAW 3/12/18 | My Coherent Review

It's December everyone and RAW is still awful. Now usually on my reviews, I tell you what's good, what's okay and what's bad. For the first time since I started reviewing Monday Night RAW back in June, I'm going to put every segment and every match on what's bad for obvious reasons. Here we go. 

WHAT'S BAD 

The opening match of the night

The purpose of an opening match is to build excitement for the rest of the show but this did the opposite. I appreciate WWE for going straight to a match instead of a boring, generic and downright formulaic (in a bad way) opening segment but the execution was pretty bad. 

This was supposed to be a tag match between Ronda and Natalya vs Nia Jax and Tamina but instead, the Riott Squad came out and they put Natalya through a table on the outside. 

Sasha Banks and Bayley vs Mickie James and Alicia Fox

What can I say? This was a skippable match. Mickie was going for her DDT finish but instead, Sasha tagged Bayley and Sasha delivered the backstabber followed by Bayley to belly from Bayley and won the match. 

Lucha House Party vs The Revival

For what it feels like the billionth time in a row, Lucha House Party faced The Revival in a subpar match with the same finish. Lucha House Party won the match with Gran Metalik delivered a springboard senton to Scott Dawson.

Dolph Ziggler vs Drew Mcintyre

Well hey, at least Dolph Ziggler turned babyface *major sigh*. The segment before this was boring and so was the match itself. The match ended with Finn Balor outta nowhere, hit a shotgun kick to Drew and he was knocked out on the outside. 

This then led to superkick by Dolph Ziggler to Drew and Dolph won the match. After the match, Charly Caruso asked Drew McIntyre backstage on why he targeted his "friend" Dolph Ziggler and Finn Balor to which McIntyre said that he vows retribution against Finn and Dolph. 

Elias wants to beat Bobby Lashley

Elias basically wants to hit Bobby with a guitar on his head until Bobby Lashley and Lio rush came out. Lio Rush said that the spotlight belongs to Lashley and not Elias. Bobby then started to pose for some reason as if this is the WBF all over again (if you got the reference) and Elias ran to the stage area. Elias threw Bobby on the LED wall and hit Lio Rush with a guitar Jeff Garret style. In other words, this was a waste of time. 

Bobby Roode and Chad Gable vs AOP and Drake Maverick

WWE Photo
This was like the Sasha Banks and Bayley vs Mickie James and Alicia Fox match was skippable. AOP and Drake Maverick won the match with AOP delivered an on sync powerbomb to Bobby and Chad Gable. 

Dean Ambrose and his personal "SWAT" team beaten down by Seth Rollins

WWE Photo
Well, that was rather odd. Is it just me or is it, Dean tried to imitate Bane from the dark night rises? Anyways after a subpar promo cut by Ambrose, Seth's music hit and he beat all the mask men that surrounded Dean Ambrose. Then a brawl happened between Seth and Dean but Dean got the advantage and delivered the dirty deeds to Rollins. 

Heath Stater vs Rhyno. Loser gets fired. 

WWE Photo
This doesn't make any sense for reasons such as RAW doesn' have enough teams in my opinion. Heath won the match but after that, he was awarded a referee shirt. In other words, he's no longer an active wrestler on the roster. 

Finn Balor vs Jinder Mahal

Finn Balor won the match and then got his bottom kicked by Drew McIntyre backstage. Awesome (sarcasm of course). 

Ronda Rousey and Ember Moon vs Nia Jax and Tamina

I honestly had most of the match playing in the background while I was doing the dishes. The team of Ronda and Ember won the match with Ember delivered the eclipse followed by an armbar submission by Ronda to Tamina. 

My question is, what do you think about RAW last night? Let me know in the comments below and make sure to follow the blog for honest pro wrestling opinions. Anyways, stay safe smarks.

WWE Smackdown Live 30/10/18 | My Coherent Review.

Smackdown Live yesterday was a skippable show other than the opening segment and match in my opinion. Now usually on my RAW/Smackdown Live review, I break down what's good, what's ok and what's bad. For the first time, I'm only gonna tell you what's ok given that this show was again a skippable show and here we go.  WHAT'S OK The opening segment  This is the probably one of if not most noteworthy moment this week mainly because as you might know, there were reports going around that John Cena and Daniel Bryan were out of Crown Jewel and the reports are indeed true and it makes sense, especially for John Cena considering that he's an actor now and he needs to maintain his PR status. The segment itself was decent. Loved both guys' intensity and that segment leads to a WWE championship match and speaking of which............. Daniel Bryan vs AJ Styles  Decent match. Expected a better from these two but again, decent nevertheless but...

WWE RAW 9/5/22 | A Coherent Review.

 Yes, I didn't review Wrestlemania Backlash because one, I knocked out after a long day and two, why not? I did watch the show and it's like an episode of a Telltale game in that it's short and sweet.  How was the red brand this week?  Even though Wrestlemania Backlash is over, it still feels like I'm watching a build toward that show. It's like eating yesterday's leftovers with some fresh salad on the side, ya know. I'm hoping Hell In A Cell concludes everything.  The Street Profits vs RKBRO For The RAW Tag Team Championship.  Hey, look. A good tag team match, playas! Yes, they've fought each other more times than Call Of Duty sequels but like I said, I enjoyed it. RKBRO retained the championship with an RKO from Riddle to Montez Ford.  Rhea Ripley Is Now An Evil Goth Girl.  She said, "f**k them, kids". Also, why's Edge rocking the "I believe in white genocide" look? Ripley had a match with Liv Morgan and of course, she won the w...

WWE Smackdown Season Premiere | A Coherent Review.

  It is the season premiere of Friday night Smackdown even though WWE doesn't have an offseason.  Nevertheless, it was a decent program and had a WAY better ending than whatever the hell of an ending last year's premiere of Friday night Smackdown showed.  There isn't a women's match this week and all of the AEW fanboys are looking at this like, "sEe, WWE dOeSn't feATuRe wOmeN'S mAtChEs aLsO."  pictures via WWE.com The Season Premiere Of Smackdown 2020.  The show started off with Triple H and Stephanie McMahon highlighting the scheduled matches for Smackdown as well as the superstars.  Chaos then ensued thanks to a huge brawl. Then, the "super freak" Lars Sullivan came out and delivered the freak accident to Shorty G.  Somehow, Jeff Hardy attacked him and that led to the opening match of the night between Lars and Jeff.  You know, I'm kind of surprised that two white people in McMahon and Hemsley knew who Rick James is.  Maybe I'm igno...
