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.

Should Dave Meltzer Get Rid Of His Rating System?

So a few weeks ago, good old Dave Meltzer of the wrestling observer newsletter gave the Kazuchika Okada vs Kenny omega match at dominion 2018 a 7-star rating. According to the interent wrestling database , this match is by far his HIGHEST match rating ever (i don't blame him because the match was amazing). So statistically, this is his favourite match of all time . Now, why I'm writing this now?  Well, his best match ratings have been a consistent 5 stars since 1983 with the exception of all the Omega vs Okada matches and the Mitsuharu Misawa vs Toshiaki Kawada match at AJPW's Budokan hall show in June of 1994.  There are fans that take his match ratings as an offence somehow like "Why he rates X match better than Y match?" or thinks that he "hates" WWE which is ridiculous considering that he gave three WWE matches a 5 star ratings just this past year. One was the ladder match to crown the first ever NXT North American champion, the Johnny Garga...

WWE Smackdown Live 10/7/18 | My Coherent Review.

Smackdown live was a bad show that did nothing as a wrestling fan to gain any excitement for extreme rules. Why you ask? Well i'm gonna give you what's good. No scratch that, i'm gonna give you what's ok and what's bad. Here we go. WHAT'S OK The opening segment and the brawl after that The opening segment was meh. And the brawl after that was fine. Didn't make me go "OHHHHHHHHHHH" or anything like along those lines. That brawl leads to a TEN MAN TAG TEAM match (Ummmmmm no shit omar). I will say this, the segment kinda teased the fact that maybe kane will turn on his best friend? I don't know. Should be interesting.  Andrade "cien" almas vs Sin cara The match was surprisingly decent. At one point andrade delivered a devastating stomp to sin cara on the ring apron. Andrade wins with a running knee to sin cara on the middle rope. Hoping andrade can move on to bigger and better things.  WHAT'S BAD ...

WWE Smackdown Live 19/2/19 | My Coherent Review.

This show was overall, a skippable show just like RAW yesterday and here's why.  Opening segment.  The show kicked off with Shane McMahon with his usual cheap pop. After that, Shane McMahon announced that Aleister Black, Johnny Gargano, Ricochet and Tommaso Ciampa will be on SmackDown Live just like RAW last night (click here to read my RAW review).  Out came The Miz and he said that he hasn't stop thinking about their match at Elimination Chamber. Miz also said he admitted that he used Shane because Miz wanted to make Shane McMahon understand where's Miz's coming from.  Miz then wanted a rematch between him, Shane McMahon and the Usos for the SmackDown Live tag team championship to which the Usos came out and insulted The Miz.  That led to Shane McMahon saying that the rematch is on but at Fastlane in two weeks. So we got the first official match scheduled for Fastlane and considering that Shane is a McMahon and has all the Authority, I do...
