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.

Let's Talk About The State Of Wrestlemania 37.

I usually save those kinds of pieces for my weekly news series, The 5 News Week due to how modern this subject is and how my essays usually dwell on the past.  Usually, it is too early to talk about an upcoming Wrestlemania in October but not this time especially since we're still in a pandemic.  This is a topic I've been thinking about all month and I had to write my thoughts on it.  Let's answer this question right away whether Wrestlemania 37 will happen in SoFii stadium next year?  from CBS Los Angeles The answer is an obvious no. But, I want to try to dig deeper and see exactly where we stand today.  As of me writing this, Wrestlemania: Hollywood edition is still scheduled to take place in SoFi stadium despite an outlet that shall not be named, claiming otherwise.  This is either sheer blind optimism or downright idiotic from Dubya, Dubya E.  WrestleVotes did mention back in July that while the event is still going to take place in the stadium,...

WWE Wrestlemania 26 | A Coherent Review.

I've teased a mystery review on my Facebook page (which you can click here to follow us) and that mystery has now been unveiled. It's Wrestlemania 26. This review was delayed and was supposed to be up last Monday but at least is now up. Also, The first draft of this review was 7 pages long so strap in. By far, the longest review on this very website.  I thought it would be fitting to review a Wrestlemania from a decade back and how do I feel about it? It was a show that if you watched it, you're most likely going to have a good time. It was a mix of great things but terrible things at the same time as most shows.  The 26th edition of Wrestlemania took place in the University of Phoenix Stadium in the Phoenix suburb of Glendale, Arizona on March 28th, 2010.  The commentators were Micheal Cole, Jerry Lawler and Matt Striker. Honestly, Striker was pretty good and a far better colour commentator than Lawler was on this show (even today, Lawler is still bleh on commen...

WWE RAW 17/8/20 | A Bit Late Coherent Review.

This episode was A. S. S. Probably one of the most boring episodes I've seen all year.  The show was basically the Christmas episode/ the new year episode that came 4 months early.  And yes, I did post the Monday Night RAW review last Wednesday just like today (which is Wednesday) but it isn't going to be permanent though.  The reason why I posted the review a day late is that, life. Just life.  pictures via  WWE.com Drew Talks About What Randy Did To The Nature Boy Last Week.  McIntyre's reaction to what Randy did to Ric Flair was a feeling of disgust saying that Orton without question, heinously attacked a friend, a mentor and a father figure. As Drew continues to talk about how he'll beat the sh*t out of the legend killer, there were some technical issues that plagued the entire segment.  And who was responsible for that? Well, it was none other than Retribution.  Drew saw the verbal chaos going on f...
