WWE RAW 4/2/19 | My Coherent Review.

This episode of Monday Night RAW like the past few weeks, was decent with some redeemable qualities and here's why. 

Opening segment.

The show started off with Both Stephaine McMahon and Becky Lynch (loved the fact that she's still selling her injured left leg). Becky with a smile on her face then cut a promo basically saying that she's going to beat Ronda at Wrestlemania. McMahon asked her if Becky's okay and Becky said: "I'm fine". 

After that, Stephanie showed what happened to Becky at the Royal Rumble last week and said that she understands why Becky refuses medical treatment but she needs to get checked out otherwise Stephanie wouldn't let her compete. 

Becky replied by saying that she worked so hard to get this opportunity and Stephanie doesn't understand what it's like to struggle. Stephanie said that this is the biggest match in WWE today and she's not gonna let that go otherwise Stephanie will suspend Becky Lynch. All Becky needs to do is to see a doctor. 

Becky said "Do it" and then McMahon did suspend her which made Becky Lynch angry and took her frustrations on Stephanie by beating her along with some WWE officials. After that, Ronda cut a promo on Lynch backstage basically angry that Becky robbed a Wrestlemania main event. 

I absolutely love this segment and yes suspending Becky Lynch was a bit odd but I understand where WWE is going with this. I'm interested as to how this storyline concludes. 

Ronda Rousey vs Liv Morgan.

This was a quick one. Ronda won the match with the armbar submission. Ronda was furious that fans were booing her and she decided to challenge one of the members of the Riott Squad to which Sarah Logan accepted and she lost the match with the armbar. This was a waste to be honest and I get that they're building up Ronda but this at least could've gone a bit longer.

Heavy Machinery vs Lucha House Party vs The B Team. 

WWE Photo
This surprisingly was a decent match. The right team in The Revival won the match with the shatter machine. 

After that, there was a backstage segment between Zack Ryder and Curt Hawkin basically frustrated about how they're handled as of late and Zack promised him that will not happen again. 

Kurt Angle Talks about His Future With The WWE. 

WWE Photo
Kurt Angle cut a promo basically describing his accomplishments in WWE. Then he went on how he lately he's living with three Ds and that's doubt, defeat and depression. After that, Baron Corbin came out and he said that why do Kurt what to make the people feel sorry for himself? 

He also said that Kurt is a former shell of himself. Kurt replied with that he can break Corbin's ankle in 2 and invited Corbin to the ring. Out came Drew Mcintyre and Drew said that he saw fear rather than a warrior from Kurt. 

Drew and Corbin walked around the ring to beat Kurt Angle. Braun Strowman rushed to the ring and beat Drew while Angle threw Baron outta the ring. That led to a match between Drew and Corbin vs Strowman and Angle. This segment was fine. 

Sasha Banks and Bayley vs Nikki Cross and Alicia Fox.

Before the match, both Cross and Fox were beating Sasha and Bayley. Giving Nikki Cross and Alicia Fox a bit of an advantage in this match. Match itself was okay. The team of Bayley and Sasha Banks won the match with a roll up to Alicia Fox from Bayley. 

Elias vs Jeff Jarrett. 

WWE Photo
Was this terrible? Not the match just the ending. Elias won the match with the Drift Away to Jarrett and then both Dogg and Jarrett decided to beat up Elias and that's exactly what happened. Don't know why they treated Elias like that but that was bad. This is one of the reasons why Elias doesn't have gold on his waist and that's unfortunately not gonna change. 

Finn Balor vs Lio Rush. 

WWE Photo
The match itself was okay. Balor won the match with the coup de grace to Lio Rush. 

A Moment of Bliss.

Suddenly, Dean Ambrose interrupts “A Moment of Bliss.”
Alexa Bliss introduces EC3 to the stage and Bliss was kinda flirting with the dude which led to her asking him if you wanna go RAW or Smackdown? Out came Nia Jax and she said that this is Nia's moment. Nia also said that she could fill in for Becky Lynch at Wrestlemania. 

Dean Ambrose came out and basically talked crap about EC3 which made EC3 pissed. That led to a match between EC3 and Dean Ambrose. The match was rather quick. EC3 won the match with the jackknife pin. Really liked this segment but I wished that EC3 actually said something. 

Braun Strowman and Kurt Angle vs Drew McIntyre and Baron Corbin.

WWE Photo
This was a boring main event in my opinion. There was a moment in the match where Baron Corbin botched the selling of the suplex and looked like he sold a neckbreaker instead. The match ended in a DQ because of Braun not being the legal man for his team in this match. After the match, both teams destroyed each other however Braun Strowman and Kurt Angle stood tall in this. Whatever. 

So, to recap for all of you slow mofos: 
.
Like: opening segment, The moment of Bliss segment overall.

Didn’t like: Braun Strowman and Kurt Angle vs Drew McIntyre and Baron Corbin, the ending for the Elias vs Jeff Jarrett match.

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...

WWE Wrestlemania: Backlash 2021 | A Coherent Review.

Wrestlemania: Backlash or as I like to call it, Backlashimania, gets an enthusiastic thumbs up for me. I enjoyed the hell out of this PPV overall.  Images via WWE.com The opening intro was narrated by the greatest of all time, Batista and it was straight badass despite the fact it was pretty much a promotion for Zack Snyder's new film, Army Of The Dead.  If you've read my about page, then you'll know that I ain't talking about Zack Snyder movies because his fans are…… never mind.  Rhea Ripley vs Charlotte Flair vs Asuka For The RAW Women's Championship.  Charlotte with the Cruella De Vil inspired ring gear was to quote Dolph Ziggler's old theme song, "perfection". The opening bout was fast-paced, high octane action that didn't have a slow/dull moment.  All of these women utilized quick grapples and strikes to their advantage.  Charlotte was this close to capturing the title but she was pushed to the outside, nailed the riptide to Asuka and that...

WWE NXT 2.0 16/11/21 | A Coherent Review.

I haven't reviewed NXT in two weeks and holy crap, I didn't miss much at all.  This week's show was BO. RING and I'm trying to make this interesting by adding my lame a** humour and you know you f'd up when I have to rely on my jokes to make this week's NXT discussion somewhat engaging.  Images via WWE.com   Tony D'Angelo vs Dexter Lumis.  The scary white man vs The spicy white man. WHO WILL SURVIVE!?  The answer is my favourite POC wrestler currently, Tony D'Angelo (that joke will never get old).  Johnny Gargano came to check on Dexter Lumis after Camelo Hayes and Trick Williams destroyed Lumis' hand.  Minutes later, all three guys in Dunne, Gargano and Hayes announced a triple threat match for the North American championship.  Should be a good match, is all I'm going to say about that.  Odyssey Jones And Jacket Time vs The Diamond Mine.  First off, Jacket time isn't a good tag team name. It sounds like me as a 5-year-old after wearing ...
