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. 

WWE Photo
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.

AEW Dynamite Blood And Guts | A Coherent Review.

Another watchable episode of AEW Dynamite but this time, it features the first-ever Blood And Guts encounter. Kenny Omega And Michael Nakazawa vs Jon Moxley And Eddie Kingston.  Don Callis announced that Michael Nakazawa is going to face Mox and Kingston all by himself only for Kenny Omega to show up and compete in the match anyway.  A weird booking choice but I'm just nitpicking.  What wasn't weird was how the match ended with a double team dragon suplex into a clothesline from the duo of Mox and Kingston to Nakazawa.  Then, a beatdown ensued from Omega's Posse to Jonny Mox and Eddie Kingston. The Young Bucks vs Jon Moxley and Eddie Kingston? I'm down.  It was revealed later in the night that a number one contenders match for the AEW championship is set up for next week's show between Orange Cassidy and Pac. I'm assuming AEW is saving the Hangman Page and Kenny Omega encounter for All Out?  Either way, AEW has the potential to tell an interesting story of ...

WWE RAW 5/10/20 | A Coherent Review.

I have not said this in a RAW review in a very long time but the show as a whole was straight up dogsh*t awful.  It's so bad that I didn't like one ounce about this program.  pictures via wwe.com Randy Orton Remembers His Match At Clash Of Champions.  The show started off with Randy Orton recalling certain aspects about the WWE championship match at Clash Of Champions.  Orton goes on to say that Drew doesn't deserve the championship because the legends interfered in the ambulance match.  The promo ended with Orton bringing up the fact that he beat up four legends last week on RAW (again, explain the physics behind this?).  Drew showed up and he laid waste on the guy.  Randy has been quite exceptional in the dialogue department but this ain't it.  The promo actually put me to sleep and the show didn't even hit 10 minutes up until that point.  If they suddenly end the rivalry like nothing happened, while it doesn't make sense, I'm all for it be...

WWE NXT UK Takeover: Cardiff | My Coherent Review.

via WWE I don't watch or review the first NXT UK Takeover for some odd reason but I'm so glad I did because that was like the main NXT Takeovers, was absolutely great to watch. I'm just speechless and if you have watched the show then you'll know why (also, if you somehow didn't watch this show, what are you doing? Go and treat yourself with some wrestling goodness.) Noam Dar vs Travis Banks.  A very enjoyable opening match. Noam Dar proves that he's great at what he does with so many submission holes because if you don't know, I'm a technical wrestling connoisseur. Noam Dar won the match with a standing shining wizard.  Cesaro vs Ilja Dragunov. Always great to see Cesaro do what he does best and that's a fight inside the square circle. So, Ilja called out Cesaro because Cesaro's looking for an open challenge and Cesaro obviously picked his challenger.  The Swiss Cyborg started off this match by throwing Dragunov to the outside ...
