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. 

Stephanie and Triple H say the match will only take place if Becky apologizes to both of them.
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 ropes to Tamina and Morgan. Minutes after that, Nia Jax delivered the Samoan drop to Bayley and won the match. So that means that Bayley and Sasha Banks will enter the match first (No shit, Omar). 

Elias Concert. 

Elias is furious that he keeps getting interrupted, and he can’t believe his album wasn’t up for a Grammy.
A backstage segment between Becky Lynch and Finn Balor, A Seth Rollins promo package and Lucha House Party entrance interrupted Elias’ concert which at this point feels repetitive and a great example of bad creative writing. After Elias wanted to do a duet between him and Kalisto, he hits him with the guitar. Predictable. 

Finn Balor vs Drew McIntyre.

First off, a handicap match between Rush and Lashley vs Finn Balor for the Intercontinental championship is rather dumb I mean why not a single match instead? Anyways, The match was okay. Match ended in a DQ because of Bobby Lashley. After that, Kurt Angle comes to the rescue and outta nowhere Baron Corbin beat Angle hard which led to Braun Strowman coming out to the ring. You know what that means…….

Braun Strowman, Finn Balor and Kurt Angle vs Baron Corbin, Bobby Lashley and Drew McIntyre.

Three commercial breaks should tell you how I feel about this match because this match was boring. The team of Braun Strowman, Finn Balor and Kurt Angle won the match with Balor delivered the Coup de grace to Bobby Lashley. 

After that, Kevin Owens in a smartphone recorded video, tells the world that he has one more month until he returns to in-ring action. Can't wait. 

Nikki Cross vs Ruby Riott.

The match was okay. Ruby won the match here. I know this is a nitpick but man if you want to make Ruby look good going into Elimination Chamber, don't you want to put somebody other than Nikki Cross? 

Seth Rollins Talks About His Beating From Brock A Couple Of Weeks Back. 

The Kingslayer recalls lasting 65 minutes in a Gauntlet Match and winning the Intercontinental Title at WrestleMania and defending it on six continents.
Seth Rollins came out to the ring and he said that he's on a roll for the past year and he's glad to share that with the fans. Rollins also said that he took 6 F5s and he's still standing and he can beat Brock Lesnar at Wrestlemania. 

Out came Paul Heyman and the advocate for Brock Lesnar said that the notion that all men are created equal is false. Heyman also that Seth is the architect of his own demise (great line by the way). 

Seth then said that Brock Lesnar held this show for too long and doesn't care about what he's going get at Wrestlemania. After that, Dean Ambrose told Seth Rollins to slay the beast. I thought this segment was decent and boy, that heel run from Dean was a waste. 

Dean Ambrose vs EC3.

Two things. One, Why I'm seeing this match and two, why can't EC3 win this match? 

Bobby Roode and Chad Gable vs The Revival for the RAW tag team championship. 

Dash drops an elbow into Gable's sternum.
This was a very good tag team match. Took WWE a long time to do this but The Revival are the new RAW tag team champions. How they did it? By a shatter machine of course to Chad Gable. I wonder why WWE gave The Revival the titles? 

Becky Lynch Makes Her Decision. 

WWE Photo
The Authority came out to the ring after Becky Lynch and advised her to say those two words. Becky Lynch then said “I'm sorry” and they made the match official. Ronda Rousey marched to the ring, Vince McMahon showed up, suspended Becky and replaced Lynch with Charlotte Flair. You know what, I don't mind a triple threat match because that's what this storyline is heading to. 

If I'm booking the SmackDown Live women's championship match at Wrestlemania, I would have booked an open challenge and the person that answers the challenge is none other than Shayna Baszler. If Baszler loses the NXT women's championship at the Takeover show. 

So, to recap for all of you slow mofos: 
.
Like: RAW Tag Team Title match. 

Didn’t like: EC3 vs Dean Ambrose, Nikki Cross vs Ruby Riott, Braun Strowman, Finn Balor and Kurt Angle vs Baron Corbin, Bobby Lashley and Drew McIntyre.

WWE Smackdown Live 30/10/18 | My Coherent Review.

Smackdown Live yesterday was a skippable show other than the opening segment and match in my opinion. Now usually on my RAW/Smackdown Live review, I break down what's good, what's ok and what's bad. For the first time, I'm only gonna tell you what's ok given that this show was again a skippable show and here we go.  WHAT'S OK The opening segment  This is the probably one of if not most noteworthy moment this week mainly because as you might know, there were reports going around that John Cena and Daniel Bryan were out of Crown Jewel and the reports are indeed true and it makes sense, especially for John Cena considering that he's an actor now and he needs to maintain his PR status. The segment itself was decent. Loved both guys' intensity and that segment leads to a WWE championship match and speaking of which............. Daniel Bryan vs AJ Styles  Decent match. Expected a better from these two but again, decent nevertheless but...

WWE Smackdown 24/4/20 | A Coherent Review.

This week's Smackdown show was decent but it wasn't as strong as the previous weeks and *hits his head a few times* here's why.  The New Day Celebrates Their Title Victory. The show kicked off with the now 8th time WWE tag team champions, The New Day and like the title above, they were celebrating their big title win last week (No sh*t, Omar).  During the segment, Kofi mentioned that there's nothing wrong with pointing out that they have more title reigns than The Hart Foundation, Edge and Christian, Demolition, The New Age Outlaws etc because it's them being proud of their accomplishments.  Out came Lucha House Party, The Miz and John Morrison and they pretty much said that they deserve a title shot. The Forgotten Sons showed up to tell The New Day, Lucha House Party and every other tag team watching that they will never be forgotten.  They lived up to that statement as the Forgotten Sons destroyed Lucha House Party and The New Day.  ...

WWE RAW 28/12/20 | A Bit Late Coherent Review.

Before I start this review, I wanna say rest in peace to Jon Huber better known as the person behind the character of Luke Harper and Brodie Lee.  It was a tough, painful 3 days for the pro wrestling industry and I certainly felt that.  If there's one thing I've learned from the number of great stories being told by the people he has worked with is that Jon is a charming, funny and overall a fantastic human being that loves his family.  After reading the countless amount of fantastic tribute posts (including from the likes of Molly Belle of Wrestle Inn and Andrew Thompson of Post Wrestling ), that bit about Jon as a family man made me think of my current relationship with my father and the ways I'm trying to improve from my standpoint.  I know this is a cheese pizza saying but tell the people you cared about that you love 'em because that line might make their day.  So. Thank you, Jon Huber, for being the light that brightens everybody's darkness.  Now, Ho...
