WWE RAW 2/12/19 | My Coherent Review.

Am I the only one that likes this episode of RAW? Yes, it was filler but it was a good filler. What a way to return from a few days of not reviewing a wrestling show then to review a filler episode that I actually like. 

Seth Rollins Says That He's Sorry.

Why did the beast slayer say sorry? Well, if you haven't watched last week's show then basically, he trash-talked the RAW roster and he did it out of love for his colleagues and Rollins has apologized especially to Owens after Seth's attack on Owens last week on RAW. 

Out came Kevin Owens and he mentioned the beating he took last week from AOP and Owens does think that Seth and the big guys are working together.

The Authors Of Pain showed up and they wanted to challenge the two people standing in the ring and Rollins was all for it, however, Kevin says otherwise and he predicts that once the match was over, Seth will turn on him so Owens wanted to get this match over with.

Rollins wanted no part of it and he left but when Seth was on AOP's way, they kindly moved away for Seth to leave the stage. Kevin challenged anybody to a match to which Lana showed up and she had a verbal back and forth with Owens leading to Bobby Lashley coming out to the ring. 

I really liked the fact that Kevin Owens knows that Seth will turn on the guy. It makes the good guy not as dumb as how babyfaces are usually portrayed. Overall, a well-orchestrated segment.  

Bobby Lashley vs Kevin Owens. 

WWE Photo
AOP quickly walked to the ring and they stomped on Owens and drags Owens to the backstage area. 

Meanwhile, Rusev kicked Bobby Lashley from behind. After Lashley and Lana were yelling at the detectives, the police officers arrested both guys. What goes around comes around I guess. 

Drew McIntyre vs Akira Tozawa. 

WWE Photo
We've seen a lot of Tozawa as of late even though he took another L courtesy of the claymore kick. After that, Drew delivered an unnecessary dig at the performers that go to Twitter and air their problems. 

The Scottish psychopath calls out Randy and Randy answered the call. Orton says that if he and Drew have a problem then let's solve it right now. The O.C shows up and like Drew, Styles wants his hands on Randy Orton.

McIntyre walks out of the ring and what enters are The O.C but Ricochet, Humberto Carrillo and Rey Mysterio made sure that they get rid of the heel trio. This segment went way too long like way too long. It really suffered from pacing and by the way, did I mention that the segment was long? 

Aleister Black vs Tony Nese. 

WWE Photo
A very competitive match. Nese ate the black mass and the premier athlete lost the match. Charly Caruso asked Buddy Murphy why did he knock on Black's door? Murphy said that Black takes himself way too seriously and he will knock Black out. 

Andrade vs Erick Young. 

WWE Photo
The former leader of Sanity loses in his hometown, you know, something that we haven't seen before right? Right? Also, the match was surprisingly good. Oh, and there was a 24/7 championship change. R Truth lost his title to a NASCAR champion, Kyle Busch.  

Charly Caruso asked Seth why didn't he help Kevin Owens? Rollins goes on a rant saying that whatever he does, he always ends up being the bad guy. He ends the interview by saying that everyone's a critic but not everyone has the guts to be a leader. 

Erick Rowan vs No Way Jose. 

WWE Photo
No Way Jose got a full entrance on TV which was rare. The conga line wanted to look at the thing that Erick Rowan's carrying and Rowan destroyed everybody and especially No Way Jose with two iron claws. 

Charlotte Flair vs The Kabuki Warriors. 

WWE Photo
Asuka and Kairi Sane were attacking Charlotte before the match started but the match did start mere moments later. This handicap match was one-sided for the most part. 

Asuka hits a series of kicks on Charlotte's lower back but Charlotte did a crossbody on both women outside the ring from the top rope. Flair hits a moonsault and Kabuki Warriors reversed that by putting their knees on Charlotte. 

WWE Photo

The queen then plants on both women with a spear to which Flair locked in the figure eight on Asuka but Flair didn't see Asuka tag Kairi Sane and as soon as Charlotte transitions the bridge, Sane hits the insane elbow drop and the warriors takes the W. 

This match was awesome not gonna lie. Kabuki Warriors are probably the best women's tag team champions right now and blew all of the reigns before it. 

The Viking Raiders squashed some jobbers. Whatever. 

The O.C vs Rey Mysterio, Humberto Carrillo And Ricochet. 

WWE Photo
An okay main event match. During the closing moments of that match, Ricochet tried to hit the hurricanrana from the top rope to Styles but Styles caught him and instead turned it into the Styles Clash and the heels win this one. AJ celebrates his victory and Styles got an RKO from outta nowhere. 

So, to recap for all of you slow mofos. 

Like: Charlotte Flair vs Asuka and Kairi Sane, Erick Young vs Andrade (yes, I'm just as surprised as you are), the opening segment, Aleister Black vs Tony Nese. 

Didn't like: The Drew McIntyre, Randy Orton And The O.C segment.

WrestleFest DXB's Fahrenheit 971 | A Coherent W.

  Being a fan of pro wrestling (or any other medium of entertainment) does have its pros and cons when engaging with the industry as a whole.  On one hand, you've witnessed an Eddie Kingston promo that'll make you tear up more than the opening scene of Up.  On the other hand, going to the wrestling subreddit will definitely have you questioning humanity as a whole and the fact that living in an area where a wrestling presence pretty much doesn't exist like a Vince Russo-written storyline that is, you know, GOOD!?  Luckily, the latter retracted my con as a fan because I'm talking about Wrestlefest DXB and their latest joint, "971 Fahrenheit".  Martin Bushby of now Post Wrestling Alumni brought the event to my attention because like a wrestler on an episode of RAW I get distracted all the time.  So, I decided to take a short journey to a taxi then a bus then a train then a 30-minute walk to the show itself and I know I'm going to sound biased as f**k but I l...

Let's Talk About The White Rabbit In The Room.

I haven't reviewed last year's show mainly because it was so good and clearly as extreme as any ECW match and I'm happy to tell all 3 of y'all that this one is better by several inches or so. Why? *slaps my bald head* HERE'S WHY. The opening match between Sheamus and Gunther's crew ruled harder than the Mongolian empire.  It was basically an enhanced version of Sheamus' match with Gunther last night on Smackdown and I loved it.  The Brawling Brutes' victory means one thing that is clearly obvious, a rematch between Sheamus and Gunther for the intercontinental championship aka the only series of rematches I don't mind.  Ronda Rousey and Liv Morgan delivered in what was a wrestling match equivalent to the X-Men Dark Phoenix movie.  While Bianca Belair and Bayley had their equivalent to the first Iron Man movie in that it was decent.  Drew McIntyre and Karrion Kross had an okay edition of the "Meaty men slapping meat".  That spear from Edge to...

A Few Thoughts On RAW And Smackdown: RAW wasn't GREAT!?

  Since this blog will be less of a priority now considering I'm focusing on my podcast now (hit the 5 stars on Apple Podcast you sons of b*tches), I decided to share my few thoughts on RAW, Smackdown, I guess?  Smackdown.  The blue brand delivered yet another good episode this week and it's probably due to the fact that Braun Strowman taking out the Maximum Model is high-key funny as f**k.  The folks over at Titan Towers are bringing back the essence of their characters whether it's Kevin Owens, Shayna Baszler or in this case, Big Braun himself.   As a fan, you gotta love it, especially since in the case of Strowman, the dude hasn't been the same since he turned heel 4 years ago when feuding with Roman Reigns for the universal title.   Other noteworthy segments include Logan Paul challenging Roman Reigns for the big world universal multiverse galactic cinematic championship.  Imagine they pulled that match off 7 years ago back when Logan was on V...
