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.

WWE Photo
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.

WWE RAW 16/8/21 | A Coherent Review.

Another week, another L for the red brand in terms of overall quality. And they do not need that L considering that it's the final show before this year's SummerSlam event.  Images via WWE.com   Randal Keith Orton And Riddal Are Back Together?  Randy explained his actions last week, stating that he simply doesn't owe anyone an explanation because he's Randy Orton (okay?).  Out came the most obnoxious person in Riddle and he wanted RKBRO to reunite. Styles showed up to hype up his big goof in Omos.  That RKO last week was as confusing as the thought of Jupiter Ascending being a "good movie".    The question is, did the band realigned themselves once again?  The answer was a soft no if you stopped watching the show after the Riddle and AJ Styles match (I don't blame ANYONE that stops watching Monday Night RAW).  However, that became a solid yes after Randy's bout with Omos. Am I the only one that feels kinda mid about this?  It's not terri...

WWE Smackdown Live 3/9/19 | My Coherent Review.

A pretty decent Smackdown Live episode considering that Smackdown Live has been RAW 2018: blue edition in recent weeks so I'm surprised that the episode was not terrible.  Bayley And Sasha Are Tired Of Being Humble. Well, Sasha Banks Is But Not Bayley Yet.  Bayley came out smiling as if nothing happened with some mixed reactions from the crowd. Bayley apparently doesn't get it because she's been humble with her best friend and she basically states that she's not the bad guy and never will be the bad guy (will see about that).  After Bayley talks about how Charlotte is selfish, out came the queen and she says that Charlotte is the queen of selfishness with no hugging but Sasha Banks came out before the queen was going to say about what she's going to do at Clash Of Champions.  Charlotte kicks the Smackdown women's champion and Sasha brawled with Charlotte which led to Bayley hitting Flair with a series of chair shots before Banks got her turn. ...

The 5 News Week: Everything YOU Need To Know About Adam Cole’s Status In WWE.

Hello, my fellow wrestling fans and welcome to the 5 news week. The post where I report 5 major or minor pro wrestling news, rumours and spoilers of the week that I don't have time to do it separately.  Without further ado, here are the 5 news week.  Some images via wwe.com Everything YOU Need To Know About Adam Cole’s Status In WWE.  By the time this article hits the interwebs, this piece of news will be outdated as f**k because SO many reports have been released left, right and centre regarding Adam Cole's status in world wrestling entertainment (yea, no sh*t, a**hole).  So, Let's summarize this bad boy. Adam Cole's contract expired after the 2021 edition of NXT's Great American Bash show this past July and agreed to extend his contract till Summerslam (from Wrestling Inc ).  Dave Meltzer of "I should think before I say something", has heard that Cole was offered a contract from "the best brand for white guys with wrestling podcasts", AEW while...
