WWE Royal Rumble 2019 | My Coherent Review.

Royal Rumble 2019. Was it all that good? The answer is nope. Wasn't awful, it just made some booking mistakes or as I like it to call it, They've made some booking holes (this joke is as clever as WWE's booking these days). Without further ado, on with the review.

PRESHOW: Rusev vs Shinsuke Nakamura for the United States Championship.

The match itself was decent but Nakamura’s win made Rusev’s title reign a complete waste of air time at this point. Like why Rusev capture the US title only for a month later for Nakamura to get the championship right back? Makes no sense to me.

Speaking of a complete waste of time. The creative team decided to pair Scott Dawson and Rezar (because Akam got injured and recently had knee surgery) to face Bobby Roode and Chad Gable for the RAW tag team championship only for Dawson and Rezar to lose the match. Gotta love WWE's “creativity”.

Buddy Murphy vs Hideo Itami vs Kalisto vs Akira Tozawa for the Cruiserweight championship.

That was a fun match. Buddy Murphy retained his Cruiserweight championship with Murphy's law to Itami.

MAIN SHOW: Asuka vs Becky Lynch for the Smackdown Live Women’s Championship.

Decent opener. During the match, both of those women did their finishers between the ropes. The match ended with Asuka delivered the Asuka lock to Lynch with a bridge and just like that, Asuka is still the champion. I don’t mind the way Becky lost, it’s just the match could’ve gone a bit longer.

The Bar vs Shane McMahon and The Miz for the Smackdown Live Tag Team Championship.

A very good tag team match. Shane McMahon and The Miz won the match with a shooting star press from Shane to Cesaro and you know what? I ain’t even mad about it considering that the Smackdown Live roster are lacking good quality tag teams and putting Shane McMahon in the tag team division gives the division much more attention and hopefully, to have them put over some other teams with the exception of The Bar.

Ronda Rousey vs Sasha Banks for the RAW Women’s Championship.

Good match with an underwhelming ending. look, I know that Ronda was gonna retain the championship anyway, it’s just the way she won it with was again underwhelming. Ronda won the match with the piper’s pit. After the match, Ronda gave her respect to Sasha but instead Sasha gave Rousey the four sign. Intriguing.

The Women’s Royal Rumble Match.

This match reminds me of the 2009 Royal Rumble match. It wasn’t terrible but it was so boring. The right woman won in Becky Lynch. I’m really interested as to where this goes from here. Hoping for a triple threat match between Becky, Ronda and Charlotte at Wrestlemania.

AJ Styles vs Daniel Bryan For the WWE Championship.

The match was very good. Daniel Bryan retained his Championship with the help from Erick Rowan which didn’t he, Luke Harper, Daniel Bryan and Kane fought for the Tag Team Championship a couple of months ago? This pairing feels rather odd but I will give this a chance.

Finn Balor vs Brock Lesnar for the Universal Championship

This was MATCH OF THE NIGHT right there. The match ended with Brock delivered the kamura Lock and that made Finn Balor Tap out (man, this show is full of unusual finishes). Brock is still Universal Champion. After the match, Brock put the mugging out of Balor for some reason. Will Brock defend his Universal Championship inside Elimination Chamber next month? Will have to wait and see.

The Men’s Royal Rumble Match.

Was I the only thing one that didn’t mind Nia Jax being in this match? Anyways, Seth Rollins is the 2019 Royal Rumble winner which I’m happy with. Overall a decent Royal Rumble match and that's all I gotta say about that.

So, to recap for all of you slow mofos:

Like: Buddy Murphy vs Akira Tozawa vs Kalisto vs Hideo Itami for the Cruiserweight championship, The Bar vs Shane McMahon and The Miz for the Smackdown Live Tag Team Championship, Ronda Rousey vs Sasha Banks for the RAW Women’s Championship, Finn Balor vs Brock Lesnar for the Universal Championship.

Didn’t like: The Women’s Royal Rumble Match. The ending to Rusev vs Shinsuke Nakamura for the United States Championship, the entire Rezar and Dawson vs Bobby Roode and Chad Gable match.

WWE Eyeing On New Creative Writers.

Last week on RAW, The McMahon family announced that there will be new faces and fresh match ups. What better way to invoke change than to seek out new writers with different ideas right? WWE are actively seeking for new writer's assistant positions with at least two years in writing television and or/ production experience and preferably but not necessary, a degree in Film/TV/Drama, Media Studies, Journalism, Communications, English, or related field of study. For everyone who thinks they can do it better, here's your opportunity. Merry Christmas! https://t.co/FJch1rOXCM — Jimmy Korderas (@jimmykorderas) December 24, 2018 What do I think of this? As long as Vince is in charge, unfortunately, nothing is going to change for the better of the product but that's just me. Let me know in the comments on how you would change the WWE product and follow the blog for honest pro wrestling opinions. Anyways, stay safe smarks.

WWE RAW 13/9/21 | A Coherent Review.

Ya boy took a week off of talking about wrestling which is something I usually need after watching a single episode of Monday Night RAW but consistency is key, people! In recent weeks, however, Monday Night RAW doesn't feel like mental torture and the latest episode is no exception. Images via WWE.com Big E Was Like, "I'm Definitely Cashing In My Contract". The lovable wholesome gyrating big man name Big E interacted with Randy Orton as well as Bobby Lashley ahead of the WWE title match between Bob and Randal. The reason is obvious. Big E wants to cash in seeing Becky Lynch's mother again (that's not it?). All lame jokes aside, the big man did cash in the contract to become the NEW WWE champion later in the episode after a successful title defence from Bobby Lashley against Randy Orton. Words cannot describe how f**king happy I am seeing one of my favourite performers finally capture the gold which was long overdue if you ask me. I will go as far as to

Top 3 BEST Distraction Finishes EVER!

Distraction endings to a wrestling match in WWE depend on one another if you think about it. It's like the peanut butter and jelly or the chicken and the basmati biryani rice or Dan Lambert and sexism. "Why top 3", you may ask? Because one, I'm different and two, well, I'm different, so be gone to the mofos that think it's shorter than Brock Lesnar's bout with Kofi Kingston. (WARNING: This piece is mostly sarcasm). Daniel Bryan vs Sheamus. Wrestlemania 28. I know this made your eyebrows raise as high as Rocky Maivia but think about this. The kiss from AJ Lee that led to a brogue kick from Sheamus, has in some way, led to the general audience seeing how Daniel Bryan should be WAY higher in the overall arc than where he was at that time. Also, this was also the year where Bryan showed off his comedic chops with his "NO" catchphrase and his tag team run with the big red conservative, Kane. If anything, this distraction finish was a great chara
