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.

WWE Extreme Rules 2019 | My Coherent Review.

Man, I'm impressed with WWE in terms of PPVs as of late because overall, this was a fantastic show in my opinion with great matches but the crowd was dead for most of the show so that sucks.  I finally watched the pre-show match between Finn Balor and Shinsuke Nakamura before I went to bed because the show aired at 2 am where I live and it was okay.  By the way, how interesting is it when on last year’s Extreme Rules show, Shinsuke Nakamura won the United States championship and now this year’s show, he won the intercontinental title. Also, it's funny that the intercontinental championship was the main event on last's year show and on this year's Extreme Rules PPV, it's on the preshow.  Shane McMahon and Drew McIntyre vs Roman Reigns and The Undertaker.  Mike Rome did better in announcing "The Best In the world" this time than on RAW. Mike Rome's announcement a few weeks ago sounded like that one friend that thinks he/she knows how to ...

NXT Takeover: In Your House 2020 | A Coherent Review.

NXT Takeover: In Your House is like the rest of the Takeover shows, a fantastic 2 hours of professional wrestling.  What makes this show special is the additional nostalgia like how the show started with the NXT WWF inspired intro, the ice cream commercial narrated by William Regal doing his best Lord Alferd Hayes impression, icopro commercial and last but not least, Todd Pettengill.  This is a show that I'm definitely rewatching in years to come.  Mia Yim, Tegan Nox And Shotzi Blackheart vs Raquel Gonzalez, Candice LeRae And Dakota Kai.  A decent opening match. During the match, Nox did a Molly Holly top rope on to every competitor in the match.  Yim tried to give LeRae some Seoul Food but LeRae reversed that into a suplex. Several minutes later, Shotzi did a Salida Del Sol of some sort on Gonzalez to which Nox delivered the shiniest wizard on Kai and won the match.  Finn Balor vs Damian Priest. I actually thought that the closing mo...

The Coherent Wrestling Wednesdays: Holy Sh*t, The Revival Are All Elite, Matt Riddle vs Timothy Thatcher In A Unique Steel Cage Match.

Both shows had its weak points but overall, that was an enjoyable 4 hours of professional wrestling television. I personally liked AEW Dynamite this week.  From an awesome women's match with Shida and Christi Jaynes to The Revival showing up, AEW managed to give me a solid episode and successfully furthered their storylines to next week's exciting show.  NXT   Highlights (at least in my opinion because wrestling is subjective).  Kushida vs Drake Maverick vs Jake Atlas. Triple Threat Match Interim Cruiserweight Championship Tournament.  What a way to kick off this episode of NXT, am I right? Atlas delivered the rainbow DDT but Kushida broke Jake's pin.  Speaking of Kushida, he nailed the armbar submission, however, Drake pinned Atlas because Atlas' shoulders were on the mat and will meet El Hijo Del Fantasma for the finals next week.  I don't know if Drake is rehired or he's going to be rehired but Maverick has a big ta...
