WWE RAW 18/2/19 | My Coherent Review.

The NXT calls up made this show a bit better but overall, this show was not only forgettable but as well as it was a visual Nyquil.  

Opening segment. 

Triple H threatens to have Becky Lynch arrested if she attacks again, but personally, he thought it was pretty damn cool.
This show started off with Triple H and cut a promo basically saying that history was made last night and also talked about DX being inducted into the WWE hall of fame (congrats to them). 

After that, Triple H announced two things. One, 5 NXT talents will be in action tonight and showed a great video package highlighting those men. They are Ricochet, Aleister Black, Johnny Gargano and Tommaso Ciampa. Two, a tables match between Braun Strowman and Baron Corbin (sigh). 

I don't know if that's an official call up but considering that WWE hasn't done pretty anything with the other NXT call ups, I'm not optimistic about how WWE creative books them in the near future. 

Braun Strowman vs Baron Corbin in a tables match.

Braun Strowman won the match with a running powerslam through a table. Seriously, end this rivalry already. 

After the match, Paul Heyman came out to the ring with a microphone on his hand and basically played a very good video package about Brock Lesnar's dominance in the WWE. 

Then, Paul Heyman reminded everyone that Brock Lesnar conquered The Undertaker's undefeated streak at Wrestlemania 30 which got no reaction from the crowd. After that, Finn Balor strangely came out which led to another in-ring promo segment. This segment is like a typical Monday Night RAW episode these days, forgettable.

Finn Balor In Ring Promo Time.

After Balor was talking about how he's going to defend the championship, Out came Lio Rush with a sad look on his face and he said that Finn doesn't deserve to be Intercontinental championship but Bobby Lashley does which led to a sneak attack from Bobby Lashley. Out came Ricochet to save Finn Balor from a beatdown. You know what that means……

Ricochet and Finn Balor vs Lio Rush and Bobby Lashley.

This was an okay match I guess. The team of Ricochet and Finn Balor won the match with Ricochet delivered the 430 splash to Lio Rush. 

Lucha House Party vs Zack Ryder and Curt Hawkins.

Before the match started, they played a video package about what happened by the end of the Ronda Rousey vs Ruby Riott match. That should tell you how WWE actually cares about the RAW tag team division. Anyways, Zack Ryder and Curt Hawkins lost again with a hurricanrana from Lince to Hawkins. 

After the match, there was an interaction between Lacey Evans and Heavy Machinery which overall was meh. 

Tommaso Ciampa and Johnny Gargano vs The Revival.

WWE Photo
A rematch from NXT Takeover Toronto two years ago but was it any good? No, but it was decent. This was a match that was hard to book on who's gonna win and the fact that WWE wants to make Gargano and Tommaso Ciampa look good so I don't mind The Revival. The Revival lost the match with a DIY kick. 

After that, Kevin Owens cut a promo with his smartphone camera in an I'm assuming a movie theatre? 

Bayley and Sasha Banks cut a promo about their win last night. 

WWE Photo
They basically said that they've been through a lot and the boss ‘n hug connection are gonna plan to defend those titles like every other champion ever. Nia Jax and Tamina came out and Nia said that every time Sasha wins a women's championship, she loses on her first defence which led to a short brawl between all those women. Well, that was a waste of my time. 

Drew McIntyre vs Dean Ambrose. 

WWE Photo
That match ended quickly. Drew McIntyre won the match with not one but two claymore kicks to Ambrose. 

Elias Concert With An Interruption Because Why Not? 

WWE Photo
After an awkward confrontation backstage between Seth Rollins and Dean Ambrose, Elias had a concert but he was interrupted by none other than Aleister Black which led to a match between those two guys. Aleister Black won the match with the black mass. 

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

WWE Photo
A rematch from the Elimination Chamber PPV last night and it was decent actually. Ronda Rousey retained with the armbar submission to Ruby Riott. After the match, Ronda laid waste on Liv Morgan and Sarah Logan and that's how the show ended. I was happy that this show was over because like I said earlier, this show was boring. 

So, to recap for all of you slow mofos: 

Like: Nothing, absolutely nothing. 

Didn’t like: Paul Heyman segment, Braun Strowman vs Baron Corbin, Bayley and Sasha Banks cut a promo about their win last night.

WWE Survivor Series 2018 | My Coherent Review.

Hello, my fellow wrestling fans reading this and welcome to my coherent review for Survivor Series 2018. Overall, it was a very entertaining show throughout with some minor issues and here's why.  (KICK OFF SHOW) Tag team Survivor Series match  This match was a great example of a skippable match until the last moments.  Xavier Woods did the springboard elbow drop and both members of The Revival countered that into a shatter machine which look amazing.  Minutes later, Scott Dawson hit a superplex to Jimmy Uso and an immediate frog splash from Dash Wilder to a near fall.  After that, Both Usos hit a superkick to Dash followed by a Uso splash and just like that, the Smackdown team took the W which WWE wants to forget about that (so stupid). A decent match but with a boring start in my opinion.  (MAIN SHOW) Women’s Survivor Series match  Before the match started when Nia Jax’s music hit, she got volcanic heat from the Los Ang...

Netflix's The Main Event | A Coherent Review.

Last spring, WWE had announced that they've partnered with Netflix to create content via their movie division on the streaming service. In other words, Netflix decided to feature even more badly marketed and awfully made movies. Luckily, WWE's latest joint isn't that bad at all. Don't get me wrong, it's no " Marriage Story " but, it does pull off a capable effort of telling a story about being yourself (warning, this   review contains a few minor spoilers).  The premise of this movie goes like this. An 11-year-old wrestling fan named Leo (played by Seth Carr) finds a luchador mask that gives him superhuman strength and agility. He then applied his new-found powers to in-ring action where he competes in a $50,000 WWE NXT tournament.  If it sounds familiar, that is because it's pretty much the premise of the film " Like Mike " with obvious differences like this movie is wrestling themed instead of basketball, it stars an 11-yea...

The 5 News Week: Florida Men In Government Talks About The Relationship Between WWE And The State.

Hello, my fellow wrestling fans and welcome to the 5 news week. The post where I report 5 .major or minor news of the week that I don't have time to do it separately. Without further ado, here are the 5 news week. Tony Khan Wrote All Recent Episodes Of Dynamite All By Himself?  I've talked about Tony's other position as a writer for AEW on the February 16th edition of this very series and it's always interesting to read the stories involving the creative process of AEW television.  AEW's Dynamite show had recently aired its last set of filming and for the most part, they were fantastic and it's all thanks to one man, Vince Russo * stutters * I mean, Tony Khan.  From PWInsider and Mikey Johnson , The owner of AEW wrote all of the Dynamite scripts that were eventually taped in Georgia after he realized that the show was going to have a small crew because of the shut down across the country of US of A. The American nightmare himself, Cody has als...
