WWE RAW 11/3/19 | My Coherent Review.

This fallout show after Fastlane was quite poor and it's a great example of why RAW needs to get rid of the third hour. Don't know why the RAW after a PPV is usually not a good show but that's WWE for you. 

Opening Segment.

Rollins thinks Lesnar has a problem with guys who are Rollins̢۪ size and style, and he believes he̢۪s the one who̢۪s uniquely suited to beat Lesnar.
The show started with The Shield and Michael Cole at one point actually mentioned Dean Ambrose's contract expiration which is VERY rare. Anyways, Roman Reigns wanted a singles match tonight and told Rollins to stay the beast. After that, Reigns and Ambrose left the arena to give Seth some space. Out came Paul Heyman and he gave his usual stick. 
Seth Rollins replied by saying that guys like Balor, Styles and Daniel Bryan took Brock Lesnar’s limit and respects those guys but Seth is the only one that can slay the beast. 

Heyman then made excuses as to why Styles, Balor and Daniel took the Beast’s limit which led to Shelton Benjamin outta nowhere suplexes Seth and a match was made between those two. Speaking of which…..

Seth Rollins v Shelton Benjamin.

This is a very competitive yet decent match. Seth Rollins won the match with the stomp. The opening segment was also decent. Did its job to build off the universal championship at Wrestlemania. 

Finn Balor vs Bobby Lashley for the Intercontinental championship.

An okay match. The match ended with Lio Rush distracted Finn Balor which led to Finn trying to do a springboard manoeuvre but Lashley countered that into a spear and just like that, Bobby Lashley is the two-time Intercontinental champion. I don't mind it because that win will only lead to Balor winning back the championship at Wrestlemania in a rematch. Possibly with a stipulation match of some kind.   

Ronda Rousey Addresses Her Actions At Fastlane Last Night. 

Raw Women’s Champion Ronda Rousey doesn’t care about what the “bandwagon fans” think.
First things first, shout out to the people that made memes about what Ronda Rousey said about professional wrestling. Basically what she said in that segment was that she will beat Charlotte and Becky Lynch because they're a joke. 

This would've been a great segment until Dana Brooke came out and cut a very generic and just plain awful promo which led to Ronda beating the crap outta Dana Brooke. 

Aleister Black and Ricochet vs Roode and Gable. 

WWE Photo
After the team of Aleister Black and Ricochet won the match with the black mass to Bobby Roode, The Revival from behind beat up Ricochet and Aleister Black. I don't know man, I hope this team of Aleister Black and Ricochet is a short term thing considering that they're better off alone. 

A moment of Bliss. 

Five Feet of Fury claims to be in total shock…
Alexa Bliss came out to present the host for Wrestlemania 35 and that person is herself. Alexa Bliss ends the segment by saying that this has been a moment of Bliss. Whatever. 

Braun Strowman was interrupted by a production assistant and he was gifted by the guys over at Saturday Night Live with a car. And you know what he does with the car? Strowman absolutely destroyed it. What the hell was that? I don't hate it but rather I'm really, really confused like where is WWE going with this? 

Elias Concert. 

WWE Photo
Elias was crapping on his hometown until No Way Jose interrupted the drifter. Elias then beat up the conga liners and No Way Jose. Meh. 

Nia Jax vs Natalya. 

WWE Photo
Holy crap Natalya, you got so many best friends like pick one. Anyways, the match hasn't started yet because of a brawl between Natalya, Beth Phoenix and Nia Jax. 

Batista and Triple H. Face To Face confrontation. 

“Your biggest mistake was always underestimating me, and we’re going to do this on my terms,” Batista says.
Triple H came out with his battle gear, wasting no time to call out Batista. Out came Batista with security guards. After Triple H called Batista a “model”, Batista cut a promo basically saying that Hunter should give Batista what he wants. Obviously, Hunter refused it and Batista again wanted to give Batista what he wants and that's a Wrestlemania match between those two. Triple H accepted it and made that match a no holds barred match. 

This was rather a disappointing segment man but I'm hopeful that the build for the next three week will be as good as this dull segment.

Kurt Angle Addresses His Future. 

He thanks WWE, every Superstar he ever shared the locker room with and the WWE Universe.
Kurt Angle was on the ring to announce that he's completing a farewell match at Wrestlemania and he made his last match in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania against Apollo Crews. The match was okay. Kurt Angle won the match with the Angle Slam. 

Roman Reigns vs Baron Corbin. 

WWE Photo
This match hasn't started yet because Drew McIntyre came out and deliver a series of Claymore kicks to Reigns. That led to Dean Ambrose telling Triple H that he wants a Fall Count Anywhere match between him and Mcintyre. Triple H accepted it and made the match official. 

Dean Ambrose vs Drew McIntyre. 

WWE Photo
Don't know why WWE would air a Fall Count Anywhere match on free TV filled with commercial breaks but nevertheless, this was a boring match if I'm being honest. Drew McIntyre won the match with the Claymore kick while Dean was hanging his head with a steel object of some kind. At this point, I was like “Finally, this show has ended”.

So, to recap for all of you slow mofos: 

Like: Ronda Rousey promo before Dana Brooke came out.

Didn’t like: Dana Brooke's promo, Batista and Triple H. Face To Face confrontation.

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...

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.  ...
