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. 

WWE Photo

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.

WWE RAW 11/2/19 | My Coherent Review.

This go home show makes me wanna go home if I was an attendance of this show. In other words, RAW wasn't good and here's why.  Opening Segment.  The show started off with The Authority. A stable that I actually don't mind but that a different topic. Anyways, they run down the Elimination Chamber PPV card. After that, The Man Becky Lynch came out and Triple H said that he will lift the suspension if Becky apologizes to both him and Stephanie.    Becky then told Stephanie to shut her face and she refused to apologize. The segment ended with Hunter giving her two choices. Either Becky apologizes to them or Becky's WrestleMania match is off.  Compared to the segments on RAW and Smackdown last week, this was underwhelming.  Sasha and Bayley vs Liv Morgan and Sarah Logan vs Nia Jax and Tamina. Loser enters first in the Elimination Chamber match.  The match was fine. During the match, Bayley delivered two stunners on the ...

AEW Full Gear 2020 | A Coherent Review.

While Full Gear was a big improvement compared to All Out, the pacing in their PPVs still needs a LOT of work.  I was yawning way too much in the 2nd hour even though I had a 9-hour sleep yesterday.   With a card like this, it doesn't need to be 4 hours.  Oh, and that Serena Deeb and Allysin Kay match on the pre-show was decent.  Kenny Omega vs Hangman Page. AEW World Championship Number One Contender's Tournament Finals.  Hangman Page doesn't have time to play "sportsmanship" as he's nailing Omega with some brutal elbow strikes throughout the first 10 or so minutes.  Speaking of brutal, Page delivered a devastating powerbomb on the stage ramp to Omega and then a sitout powerbomb in the ring to a near fall.  Unfortunately for Hangman, he was taken out with the one-winged angel from Kenny to win the entire tournament.  An enjoyable opener although it could've been just a tiny bit better but I'm nitpicking.  The elite brand will have an an...

A Guide On How To Improve Wrestling Criticism Vol.2

Last spring, I wrote an article about how to critique pro wrestling better aka "a guide on how to improve wrestling criticism" . I got some positive takes on it but the question is, why did I produce the second edition?  Well, you have to thank the awful videos and articles that I, unfortunately, consumed but at least, I wrote down some notes that contained the number of bad critiques that I was passionately blasted down on.  Like I mentioned in last year's piece, I am just an average fan that doesn't claim to be an expert in any form of criticism because YouTube will definitely give you the "I'm right, you're wrong" type of content.  This is just a learning process for not only the viewers reading this but myself as we all are trying to get better.  Without further explanation, let's guide you  to a better critique in wrestling (at least I hope so) numbra dos.  #1. Focusing Too Much On Logic (and no, I'm not talking abou...
