WWE Elimination Chamber 2019 | My Coherent Review.

Overall, this is the best WWE main roster PPV of the year with some bad booking decisions and here's why. By the way, I can't talk about the preshow match because I haven't seen it. 

Sasha Banks and Bayley vs Nia Jax and Tamina vs The Riott Squad vs Naomi and Carmella vs Fire and Desire vs The IIconics. Elimination Chamber match for the WWE Women's Tag Team Championship.

 This was a good match. The IIconics eliminated the team of Naomi and Carmella with a double roll up pin by the IIconics to Naomi. 

 The Iconics then got eliminated by Nia Jax and Tamina with a double Samoan drop and eliminated The Riott Squad with a top rope Samoan Drop from Nia Jax to Liv Morgan and a Samoan Splash from Tamina to Sarah Logan. 

 Nia Jax and Tamina were eliminated by Sasha banks and Bayley with an elbow drop to Tamina. 

 The match ended with Sasha used her thigh instead of her arm to apply the bank statement to Sonya Deville and just like that, the boss n’ hug connection are the new WWE Women's Tag Team Championship. 

 This was much better than the last year's women's Elimination Chamber match I'll tell you that much. Again, a good match. After the match, Sasha Bank cut a promo that was pretty emotional and overall just a feel good moment. 

The Miz and Shane McMahon vs The Usos for the SmackDown Live Tag Team Championship.

 First thing first, congratulations to the it couple. Secondly, the match itself was decent actually. The Usos won the match here and are the new WWE Smackdown live tag team champions. This is where we’re going see some dissension between Shane and Miz. I didn't predict that Shane and Miz would lose the tag titles like that but we shall see what WWE has in store for this build. 

Bobby Lashley and Lio Rush vs Finn Balor. Two on one handicap match for the Intercontinental championship.

 For a handicap match, this was an okay match. Finn Balor won the match with the Coup de grace to Lio Rush. In other words, Finn is the new Intercontinental championship. After the match, Bobby assaulted his hype man, Lio Rush. Considering that Finn pinned Rush, a rematch between Bobby Lashley and Finn Balor is inevitable. 

Ronda Rousey vs Ruby Riott for the RAW Women's championship.

 Before the match, Charlotte Flair came out and cut a promo basically saying that she beat up the man, Becky Lynch. This match was a total squash. I mean, why can't Ruby deliver some offence at least? A booking decision I don't understand. After the match, Charlotte Flair and Ronda Rousey had a staredown to which Becky Lynch came out through the crowd. Becky then hits both Flair and Rousey with a crutch. That ending was great but the match should've gone a bit longer considering that Ruby Riott is a talented performer. 

Braun Strowman vs Baron Corbin in a No DQ match.

 By the end of the match, Braun Strowman slammed Corbin through a table. Out came Drew McIntyre with a steel chair in hand and out of nowhere Bobby Lashley came out also with a steel chair in hand. 

 Bobby Lashley, Drew McIntyre and Baron Corbin beat up Braun Strowman with steel chairs, then puts Braun through two tables on top of one another, pinned Strowman and won the watch. 

 One question, where's Kurt Angle in this? Why’s Angle not gonna help Braun Strowman? I mean he does have a history with both Baron Corbin and Drew McIntyre right? This was a Monday Night RAW like match with no commercial breaks in between. Oh, and the match was quite boring too. 

Daniel Bryan vs Samoa Joe vs Randy Orton vs Kofi Kingston vs Jeff Hardy vs AJ Styles. Elimination Chamber match for the WWE championship.

 This entire bout was fantastic. AJ eliminated Samoa Joe with the phenomenal forearm. Then, Daniel Bryan Eliminated Hardy with the running knee. After that, Styles was eliminated by Randy Orton with the RKO which led to Orton’s elimination from Kofi with the trouble in paradise. 

 After a great back and forth between Bryan and Kingston, Daniel Bryan delivered a second running knee to Kofi and retained his championship. 

 Minutes after the match ended, Xavier Woods and Big E came out in support of Kofi and the crowd chanted “Thank you Kofi”. Seriously, give this man a run for the championship because, with that performance, he certainly deserves it. 

 So, to recap for all of you slow mofos: 

 Like: Two Elimination Chamber matches.

 Didn't like: Braun Strowman vs Baron Corbin, the Ronda Rousey vs Ruby Riott match.

NXT Takeover: In Your House 2020 | A Coherent Review.

NXT Takeover: In Your House is like the rest of the Takeover shows, a fantastic 2 hours of professional wrestling.  What makes this show special is the additional nostalgia like how the show started with the NXT WWF inspired intro, the ice cream commercial narrated by William Regal doing his best Lord Alferd Hayes impression, icopro commercial and last but not least, Todd Pettengill.  This is a show that I'm definitely rewatching in years to come.  Mia Yim, Tegan Nox And Shotzi Blackheart vs Raquel Gonzalez, Candice LeRae And Dakota Kai.  A decent opening match. During the match, Nox did a Molly Holly top rope on to every competitor in the match.  Yim tried to give LeRae some Seoul Food but LeRae reversed that into a suplex. Several minutes later, Shotzi did a Salida Del Sol of some sort on Gonzalez to which Nox delivered the shiniest wizard on Kai and won the match.  Finn Balor vs Damian Priest. I actually thought that the closing mo...

WWE RAW 29/7/19 | My Coherent Review.

There were decisions being made on this show that I would've done it differently if I was on their spot but as a whole, this show was decent and unlike last week's episode, it actually made some progress going into Summerslam.  Drake Maverick and Renee Michelle vs R Truth and Carmella. 24/7 championship. Lumberjack Match.  First off, that intro about the 24/7 title was great. Shout out to the production guys for that. Also, mosh pit? Isn't this a lumberjack match? Anyways, the match ends quickly with a reverse suplex from Truth and then, The rest of the roster (yes, all of them) pinned R Truth to which Mike Kanellis of all people won the match.  He then went inside the WWE officials' room and Maria Kanellis knocked on that door. Maria Kanellis said that if he doesn't open that door then she'll kick him in his "vagina". That line was random yet funny. As far as the 24/7 championship shenanigans are concerned, it was not offensive but it...

WWE RAW 21/10/19 | My Coherent Review.

I like this episode of Monday Night RAW. Probably one of the best episodes of RAW all year and I will also say that 2019 has been a great year for Monday Night RAW. I can only count one hand on how many episodes of RAW I actually hated.  Ric Flair Reveals The Final Member of His Team. The nature boy started off this episode and I thought I've time jumped to 03 but I realized that he's the coach of his team at Crown Jewel and I said to myself "ohhhhhh".  Ric Flair reveals the final member and that person is none other than the returning Drew McIntyre. Drew tells his captain that he's going to give him a preview of what he's going to do at Crown Jewel. That preview is a match between the Scottish psychopath and Ricochet.  This was a nothing segment other than Drew coming back after several weeks.  Drew McIntyre vs Ricochet.   Ric Flair cut a passionate promo basically calling Hogan to show up on Smackdown this Friday. This was a very go...
