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.

Will Hobbs. Professional Wrestling's Powerhouse

"What's the most powerful house you can think of? Perhaps a bungalow, something that's low, unshakable, that kinda thing? ” Hey Ew, 2022 Think of the greatest big men in the history of the business. Big Van Vader who represents pure unadulterated aggression that seamlessly benefits his ferocious in-ring style ( see his match with Mitsuharu Misawa for more information).  Bam Bam Bigelow who's unpredictability inside the ring like his flying headbutts and moonsaults has made him spectacular to watch.  The Undertaker who have built a sense of aura by masterfully marching down the ring, creating anticipation in the process as well as constructing an expression of a man who hates video games and wants “men to be like men” .  And then there's Powerhouse Will Hobbs. A man who I believe in years to come is the heir apparent to the throne of “greatest big men in wrestling” and for good reason. Mr “I Break Backs Like Bane” possesses a power that belies his exuberance.  Why ...

Wrestling Publications And Web Design.

The internet is home to over 50 billion websites and within the pro wrestling niche, there are 60+ established sites that fans click into on a daily basis for news, editorials, reviews, interviews and other exclusive content.  Those websites have four key critical tasks. One, the content obviously. Two, the design and functionality of said sites. Three, just copy what Dave Meltzer said. And four, just make sh*t up.  Creating a site is a different beast. Some use Blogger like this site while others use square-space, Wix, or even code a site from the ground up.  The problem with developing a web page from scratch is that it's time-consuming and you have to learn some mark-up languages like HTML and CSS.  It's essentially a great skill that isn't worth it if you want a site in minutes. Now, the main question is, why am I writing this article in the first place?  When you learn a skill, you tend to have a different view on a product that is connected with the skill ...

The 5 News Week: An Interview With Musician John Kiernan.

  WE'RE BACK LADIES, GENTLEMEN AND NB! Now, what did I miss from the several week hiatus?  *Scrolls down at the news feed* a billionaire said something stupid. Monday Night RAW is still duh and uninspired. Mass release of talent by WWE.  So……. Same old sh*t? Figures.  For those unaware (pretty much everybody), The 5 News Week is where I showcase 5 major or minor news of the week that I don't have the time to do separately.  Without further ado, here are the 5 News Week.  An Interview With Musician John Kiernan.  I kick things off with an interview from a guy that I'm hoping (as a musician) appreciates Brie Bella's theme song because my music tastes suck, musician John Kiernan.  If the name sounds familiar to you, it’s probably because you’re listening to a podcast that loves shouting out the names John “loose cannon” Lopez and ‘Beast Mode” Brock Joseph at the beginning.  Kiernan has composed and straight-up killed it in the pro wrestling musi...
