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

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

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.

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 NXT 2.0 14/9/21 | A Coherent Review.

NXT 2.0 or as I like to call it, NXT "I'M DIFFERENT" edition. Let's get the positives out of the way. I like the set and the way it compliments NXT's new water multicolour look. In a world with main roster WWE and its giant screen, the presentation definitely stood out. The entrance stage set also gave me a bit of a Wrestlemania 27 vibes and because of it, I'm always going to remind myself of that dogsh*t of a PPV so that's definitely a negative. The main question is, Was the inaugural episode of NXT "third times the charm" edition any good? Yes. The main thing NXT did right is how they showcase some of the newer faces on the brand. There were a few head-scratching moments but as a whole, I enjoyed the episode. Images via WWE.com Bron Breakker vs LA Knight. We all know that Bron Breakker is an awful name (Bronson Rechsteiner was perfectly fine) but my God, that dude has the LOOK! I mean, if I had to choose to rebrand myself in WWE, I...

WWE Clash Of Champions 2019 | My Coherent Review.

This Clash of Champions show was one enormous meh. Also, AJ Styles in the pre-show? That's a first but that match was pretty decent as well as the cruiserweight championship match. Seth Rollins And Braun Strowman vs Dolph Ziggler And Robert Roode For The RAW Tag team Championship. During this tag team title match, Ziggler hits a devastating looking DDT to Seth Rollins outside the ring. The odd couple then delivered quick tag team moves but moments later Rollins reversed Ziggler's sleeper hold into a falcon arrow to which Rollins tagged Braun Strowman and took out Ziggler and Roode for a bit. This match has ended with a Glorious DDT from Robert Roode to Seth Rollins after Braun accidentally knocked out Rollins and Ziggler threw the monster among men over the top rope. A decent opener with a predictable ending that I don't mind. Maybe a triple threat match between the odd couple, The Viking Raiders and The O.C in Gallows and Anderson for the tag ...

WWE RAW 16/12/19 | My Coherent Review.

This week's RAW was a whole lotta nothing and because of it, I'm not going to talk about everything that happened in this episode like I usually do but instead, I'm airing my positives for the show. Also, I'm not planning on posting my review for next week's RAW and the reason being is that I'm either replacing it with an essay or I'm leaving Tuesday afternoon (my time) blank depending on the day. Some Positives. Becky Lynch Sends Asuka An Important Message. We're starting this recap with a fantastic sit-down promo by the champ. Like some fans out there, Becky admits of being a bit off for the past few months as a singles competitor and lumped in a newer environment in the women's tag team division. She then later feels like the company is trying to protect her by putting her in corporate events because the overlords think that Lynch is their bankable asset right now (at least, that's how I look at it). This promo of ...
