WWE RAW 28/10/19 | My Coherent Review.

Not an enjoyable show like last week's show but it was okay for a typical RAW episode but for a PPV build up, it wasn't good at all. 

The Women's Tag Team Champions Opens The Show And…..

WWE Photo
Paige started off this episode of Monday Night RAW and introduces the Kabuki Warriors which Paige hasn't been on their side for weeks and I'll explain that last comment. 

Paige was putting over the warriors and Asuka grabbed her microphone immediately which led to Paige getting her mic back which led to Kairi Sane grabbing Paige's mic. Asuka splits that green mist to Paige to which Becky Lynch came out and brawls with Kairi Sane.

That betrayal from the Kabuki Warriors made a lot of sense considering that Paige didn't benefit them other than being their English spokesperson. Gotta give a big shout out to Paige for selling that green mist without taking a bump. That was great. 

Becky Lynch vs Kairi Sane. 

WWE Photo
That was a very good opener. Kairi Sane reversed that suplex from Becky Lynch and turns it into a DDT. The match ended with a disarmher to one-half of the tag champs and the man prevails once again. 

Kairi Sane looked great in defeat going into her tag match with her tag partner against team kick this Wednesday (which I can hopefully review).

Buddy Murphy vs R Truth. 

WWE Photo
Before this match happened, R Truth was asked by Caruso about his 24/7 title loss against one half of the Bollywood Boyz. Truth said that he knew that there's two of them and he now has glasses to get back his 7/11 24/7 European championship. 

The rest of the WWE roster ran around the ring chasing the Bollywood Boyz which distracted R Truth and thanks to that, the Australian kicks him hard with the knee and won his match. 

Akam and Razzar had their promo talking about intimidating the tag team division and then, The Street Profits cut an in-ring promo about how they want the smoke. Meh. 

Ricochet vs Drew McIntyre. 

WWE Photo
A rematch from a very good match last week and they nailed it once again. Drew delivers that crucifix bomb on the top turnbuckle which is slowly becoming one of my favourite moves in all of wrestling. 

Drew tried to do it again but Ricochet reversed into a hurricanrana. Ricochet was about to hit the 630 splash but he was stung by an RKO outta nowhere ending the match in a DQ. What an RKO. 

The Viking Raiders vs Local Jobbers. 

WWE Photo
I mean it's great that they're undefeated but that match obviously proves that the RAW tag team division is pretty much non-existent. 

Andrade vs Sin Cara. 

WWE Photo
Sin Cara brought up some backup of his own to even the odds and that person is Carolina who have signed with WWE this past summer. 

Unfortunately, Carolina did not lead Sin Cara to victory because Andrade won the match with a roll-up. Not as good as their match last week but this wasn't bad either. 

Charlotte Flair and Natalya vs The IIconics. 

WWE Photo
The Australian duo are back after the 2019 WWE draft was over and done with and they took an L with a sharpshooter from Natalya to Billie Kay. 

Seth Rollins vs Erick Rowan In A Fall Count Anywhere Match. 

WWE Photo
This thing of "putting the same stipulation match as the PPV match they're competing in" is uninspired and generic af.  

If you've seen a falls count anywhere match, you've pretty much seen this match you know, brawling outside the ring and then into the backstage area. 

The finish of this match saw Seth Rollins pinning Erick Rowan with that type of vehicle that carries heavy objects that I don't know the exact name of. The match was dull. 

AJ Styles vs Humberto Carrillo. 

AJ Styles challenged Humberto Carrillo to a match in a backstage earlier in the night so that's how the match came about. Humberto at one point, hits a beautiful moonsault, however, AJ locks in the calf crusher to win the match.

WWE Photo
AJ left Humberto hanging because Styles swerved him to a handshake. Carrillo was about to take the magic killer from Anderson and Gallows but The Street Profits came out to save Humberto Carrillo from an additional beating. 

I wouldn't be surprised if the challenger for the United States championship is none other than Humberto Carrillo. 

The "Divorce" King's Court. Special Guest, Rusev And Lana. 

WWE Photo
Aka a very bad Jerry Springer episode, Rusev was accused of being a sex addict, Rusev wanted a baby and Lana refused because she can't be a model with a baby in her belly (clearly not a fan of Maryse) but that wasn't the main reason. 

The reason why Lana cheated on her husband is that she was told by Bob Lashley that Rusev cheated on her with no evidence backing that up. 

WWE Photo
Out came Bob Lashley and they brawled but with the help of a low blow from Lashley, He speared the Bulgarian Brute and the odd couple kissed with a passion to end RAW. 

WWE Photo
I had to think about what I just saw for hours and here are my thoughts. In an era of women's wrestling, Lana blindly believes Lashley that Rusev cheated on her wife is so 19 something. I don’t mind love stories in wrestling but this storyline especially this segment was poorly executed. 

I thought that her motivation was that Rusev didn't give her whatever she likes based on that restaurant segment last week but I was completely wrong. 

So, to recap for all of you slow mofos. 

Like: Opening segment, Becky Lynch vs Kairi Sane, Ricochet vs Drew McIntyre.

Didn't like: Seth Rollins vs Erick Rowan, That ending.

WWE Smackdown Live 28/8/18 | My Coherent Review.

Overall, Smackdown Live was better than RAW in terms of having a somewhat good ending. Why you ask? Well, I'm gonna give you what's good, what's ok and the bad parts about this show were none in my opinion. Without further ado, this is my coherent, honest review of this week's Smackdown Live.  WHAT'S GOOD    New day's celebration  You have the new day celebration with their interaction with booker T and the addition of the spinaroonie or the spinaroonie, in this case, was entertaining and an odd but amusing opening segment.  Daniel Bryan vs Andrade "Cien" almas   Daniel Bryan's promo with Brie Bella by his side was like the Naomi vs Billie Kay match, it was there. However, the match itself was pretty good in my opinion. That chop by almas looked brutal bro like damn. Daniel Bryan wins Via DQ by miz beating him, almas hitting the hammerlock DDT, Maryse hitting a brutal looking DDT to brie bella and then miz hitting the skull cru

WWE Smackdown 14/2/20 | My Coherent Review.

Last night was my 2nd anniversary of pumping out written content on this site and I thought since this show has delivered 6 or sometimes 3 out of 10s for 4 months now, I've written some lyrics about my thoughts on Smackdown in the style of the current song opening for the blue brand.  If you wanna put the instrumental version of ACDC's Are You Ready while reading this then that's cool too.  *Cue the intro* Are you Ready?  Are you ready for mediocrity! Then, get ready for disappointment.  No one needs it.  No one needs it.  No one needs it.   Even Bischoff.  Are you ready for mediocrity! *ends with some guitar solos*.  The lyrics may suck but it is at least better than whatever the hell Justin Bieber meant when he sang his current single "Yummy".  Now, on with the review. The Return Of A Moment Of Bliss (Unlike The Return Of The Dirt Sheets, Nobody Really Cares).  Both Bliss and Nikki Cross talked about their c

WWE RAW 6/7/20 | A Coherent Review.

This episode of RAW actually made me look forward to Extreme Rules and that's something WWE doesn't do all that well in recent years. It was a great effort by the powers that be.  Dolph Ziggler Picks The Stipulation For The WWE Championship At Extreme Rules: The Horror Show.  McIntyre is waiting for Dolph Ziggler to pick the stipulation for their championship match at Extreme Rules.  Drew got his wish as Dolph Ziggler said that Drew has been stabbing people in the back and that includes the person that Ziggler brought up but not verbally, Heath Slater.  In a very emotional promo, Slater told his former 3MB mate that he was there for Drew McIntyre when Drew was fired from WWE in 2014 but the Scotsmen wasn't there for Slater when he was fired this year.  So, the one-man-band challenged him to a match and the WWE champion accepted. How was the match?  It was a squash bout. Drew wins with the claymore to which Ziggler was picking on Heath and Mc
