WWE Smackdown Live 26/2/19 | My Coherent Review.

This was overall an okay show that did a decent job at building some intrigued for what is a waste of a PPV in Fastlane. By the way, There's no women's match on this show which is rather odd. 

Opening segment. 

KO sits down at the table and signs the contract to challenge Bryan!

The show kicked off with Shane McMahon, Stephanie McMahon, Rowan and Daniel Bryan all in the ring for a contract signing which is rare that a contract signing actually starts a wrestling show. Shane McMahon then showed Kofi Kingston career highlights which led to Shane McMahon and Stephanie McMahon introducing Kofi Kingston. 

Kofi Kingston cut a promo saying that he finally got a one on one WWE championship match after 11 years and he's gonna beat Daniel Bryan for that title. After that, Daniel Bryan signed the contract and Kofi was about to sign the contract but Vince McMahon randomly showed up. 

Vince announced that he's replacing Kofi with the returning Kevin Owens. First, Vince screwed Becky Lynch and now he screwed Kofi Kingston. That's odd because a Daniel Bryan vs Kevin Owens match is a Wrestlemania worthy match. Interesting to see where this goes. 

The Bar vs The Hardy Boyz.

Man, Matt Hardy looks great in this match. Anyways, this is a rematch from Extreme Rules 2017 if I'm not mistaken and it was okay. The Hardy Boyz won the match with the Swanton bomb to Sheamus from Jeff Hardy. 

Minutes after that, there was a locker segment between Aleister Black, Ricochet and Lana. Lana said that she doesn't get the hype and the veterans in Rusev and Nakamura will crush both of them. Aleister Black replied by saying that Rusev and Nakamura will fade to Black.  

R Truth vs Andrade vs Rey Mysterio for the United States championship.

R Truth, I thought you went miss or something? Nevertheless, a decent match but Andrade should've won that championship considering that R Truth is not doing ANYTHING with the US title. After the match, Rey was going for the 619 but Andrade retreated. 

Charlotte Talks About Becky's Arrest And Ronda Rousey Putting The Belt On The Middle Of The Ring. 

The Queen says Mr. McMahon was right about how she stays in her lane and always delivers, unlike Becky Lynch.

Charlotte Flair cut a good promo in that ring as usual. The queen calls Becky Lynch a criminal and calls Ronda Rousey a quitter. She also said that both women are scared of Charlotte and she showed footage from RAW back in November when Ronda Rousey was cutting a promo saying that she's not gonna quit basically. She ends the promo by saying that Charlotte will be on RAW next week so that Vince McMahon will crown her as the new RAW women's champion. Really like this segment and Charlotte might be other than Tommaso Ciampa, the best heel in all of WWE. 

Aleister Black and Ricochet vs Rusev and Shinsuke Nakamura.

Another good showcase for both Aleister Black and Ricochet in what it was overall a decent match. The team of Aleister Black and Ricochet won the match with the black mass to Nakamura. 

Then, Kayla Braxton interviewed AJ Styles about how he's ready for another challenge in the house that AJ Styles built. After that, Randy Orton showed up and said: “The house that AJ Styles what?” Is that WWE’S attempt at comedy because I'm confused about what I just saw. 

Kofi Kingston and Kevin Owens vs Daniel Bryan and Rowan.

Started slow but picked up really nicely. The team of Kevin Owens and Kofi Kingston won the match with the stunner from Owens to Daniel Bryan. After the match, it seemed like Kofi is okay with Owens taking his spot which I don't get if that's the case but will see what happens. 

So, to recap for all of you slow mofos: 

Like: Charlotte segment. 

Didn't like: R Truth's win.

WWE RAW 4/3/19 | My Coherent Review.

This go home show episode of RAW was decent actually. It made me wanna watch a waste of a PPV called Fastlane with higher expectations.  Opening Segment.  The show kicked off with the Big Dog for the second week in a row. Roman Reigns cut a promo basically saying that this is the fan's yard now and calls out Seth Rollins to the ring. Seth Rollins said that he's gonna take Roman's fight with leukaemia and use it as motivation to beat Brock Lesnar for the Universal Championship.  Roman Reigns replied by telling Seth “good luck” and Roman's wants the band to get back together. Seth Rollins was conflicted at first but later accepted it. Dean Ambrose comes out and he was hit by Elias with a guitar. Decent segment and I was expecting for Drew, Lashley and Corbin to come out but I'm glad that didn't happen. Finn Balor, Braun Strowman and Kurt Angle vs Baron Corbin, Bobby Lashley and Drew McIntyre.  This match was boring three weeks ago and this ...

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...

THE Coherent AEW Take: YOU KNOW IT'S ALL ABOUT THE BOOM!

 I was about to talk about this week's AEW line of shows, were as mid as any Flo Rida song but then…………..YOU KNOW IT'S ALL ABOUT THE BOOM!  The Elite brand's flagship show literally made the save like the "babyface shows up to rescue their partner from a brawl" cliche.  Rampage.    Highlights.  Well, there is none as this week's show was pretty darn skippable. It was "multi-person matches with babyfaces making the save post-match".  Some Other Things That Happened.  Dan Lambert continues to be as annoying as an anti-smark on Reddit - This is the only time where I'm cheering for the white saviour, Cody Rhodes. Oh, and Sammy Guevara made the save for Rhodes against Lambert and his lackeys. The Elite guys lost to Orange Cassidy, Best Friends And Rocky Romero - That brainbuster into a double superkick from Cole and the Young Bucks was cool.  Tay Conti defeated Penelope Ford - Could've lasted a tiny bit longer but it was a decent encounter....
