WWE RAW 16/3/20 | A Coherent Review.

Last week was the promo packages edition, this week was the empty arena with additional promo packages. A skippable yet okay show for what it was. I never thought that a Monday Night RAW review would be shorter than the old hour NXT show reviews.

Edge On His Actions Last Week.

The WWE Hall of Famer stated that he saw something great in Bob Orton's kid he met in 1999. Edge also said that while both men owe Mick Foley for their success, Randy is nothing more than an entitled brat because he was handled this opportunity while Edge worked hard to be successful in the business.

The Rated R Superstar ended his dialogue saying that the match between him and Randy at Wrestlemania is the last man standing match.

That match is going to be awkward with an empty crowd just like the entire show which if your internet was out for a day or so due to not paying this month's bill (I feel ya), Wrestlemania 36 will take place inside the performance centre. Oh, and that was a superb promo.

WWE then aired the full 2020 men's Royal Rumble match and I'm not going to be angry over it given that I get it. Is it lame? Yes, but having to fill a 3-hour show in a show like this is extremely difficult.

The Undertaker vs AJ Styles Match At Wrestlemania Contract Signing.

The Undertaker had the quickest ring entrance I've ever seen and flipped the contract signing table and two chairs. AJ Styles' music hits and did not show up near the stage but rather the titantron.

Styles says that he's the one to make this match at the grandest stage of them all and continues to trash Taker's wife Michelle McCool who Styles should be mad at for stealing his finisher (shout out to Solomonster for that insight). Apparently, the performance centre is the grandest stage of them all. Who knew?

The phenomenal one signed the contract and told the rest of The O.C to hand to the deadman. They eventually did if you count Taker beating the crap outta them only to grab it and sign the contract. I wish that Undertaker would say something but nevertheless, a decent segment.

Andrade vs Rey Mysterio.

By the way, Asuka on the commentary desk was entertaining. An aight match. Mysterio wins with the 619. Like I said before on this site, I wouldn't be surprised if all the Latinos in Andrade, Humberto Carrillo, Angel Garza and Rey Mysterio will face each other in a ladder match for the US title.

However, considering that Wrestlemania 36 is now in the performance centre, I can't see WWE adding another match in a 4-hour show with an empty area which is crucial for a show, especially like Wrestlemania.

"I Am The Prey That Killed Its Predator Shayna", Says Becky Lynch.

Lynch stated simply like the title above that she'll take down the lie that is Shayna Baszler. A good promo as usual from Becky Lynch.

I'm glad that WWE wrote the narrative that Becky is taking Shayna Baszler seriously which was by fear the way she was acting going into Elimination Chamber.

In a backstage interview with Charly Caruso, Kevin Owens answered Rollins' challenge at Wrestlemania also mentioned that he was doubted regarding his try out at the performance centre including the person he's accepted the challenge from, Seth Rollins.

He'll be happy to win his match in the same place he got his WWE contract. Great promo from Kevin Owens. Loved how he mentioned his days at the PC and how he was doubted by the peers he respected.

Stone Cold 3:16 Day Promo.

The ending for this show wasn't the main event match but rather a promo courtesy of the Texas Rattlesnake. Steve Austin declared that 3:16 Day is a national holiday and wanted the fans at home to shout "Hell yeah" to which Bryon Saxton shouted with passion, "Hell yea".

Austin stated the rules for 3:16 Day and wanted to join Bryon for a toast which was an obvious set up for the stunner to the fellow colour commentator and Becky Lynch showed up to join the beer-drinking fun. This was one big promotion for Steve's IPA. It was not offensive to watch so there's that.

So, to recap for all of you slow mofos.

Like: Becky Lynch promo, Kevin Owens backstage promo, Asuka on commentary.

Didn't like: A whole lotta nothing which to be fair was expected.

WWE Survivor Series 2018 | My Coherent Review.

Hello, my fellow wrestling fans reading this and welcome to my coherent review for Survivor Series 2018. Overall, it was a very entertaining show throughout with some minor issues and here's why. (KICK OFF SHOW) Tag team Survivor Series match This match was a great example of a skippable match until the last moments. Xavier Woods did the springboard elbow drop and both members of The Revival countered that into a shatter machine which look amazing. Minutes later, Scott Dawson hit a superplex to Jimmy Uso and an immediate frog splash from Dash Wilder to a near fall. After that, Both Usos hit a superkick to Dash followed by a Uso splash and just like that, the Smackdown team took the W which WWE wants to forget about that (so stupid). A decent match but with a boring start in my opinion. (MAIN SHOW) Women’s Survivor Series match Before the match started when Nia Jax’s music hit, she got volcanic heat from the Los Ang...

WWE Smackdown 20/8/21 | A Coherent Review.

That CM Punk return was so noteworthy, it blew this entire episode out of the water. That’s it. That’s the opening statement. Images via WWE.com Edge Wasn't Playing When He Said That He'll Put Seth Into Darkness. The show started off with the Rated R superstar saying that Rollins has made the guy find his heart when the blood runs black. In other words, he'll beat the shit out of Rollins at slamming of summer. Speaking of "the blood runs black", after Seth Rollins gave a speech on how he can't be on Sethy's level, the man that says "drip" more times than a white dude that streams on Twitch, was covered in black liquid following Gangrel's theme song playing in the background. Edge ain't f**king around. I appreciated the uniqueness of the segment and how it was a tribute to WWE's continuity (which if you've been watching WWE for a longer period of time then you'll know that WWE acknowledging their storytelling cohesion ...

Netflix's The Main Event | A Coherent Review.

Last spring, WWE had announced that they've partnered with Netflix to create content via their movie division on the streaming service. In other words, Netflix decided to feature even more badly marketed and awfully made movies. Luckily, WWE's latest joint isn't that bad at all. Don't get me wrong, it's no " Marriage Story " but, it does pull off a capable effort of telling a story about being yourself (warning, this review contains a few minor spoilers). The premise of this movie goes like this. An 11-year-old wrestling fan named Leo (played by Seth Carr) finds a luchador mask that gives him superhuman strength and agility. He then applied his new-found powers to in-ring action where he competes in a $50,000 WWE NXT tournament. If it sounds familiar, that is because it's pretty much the premise of the film " Like Mike " with obvious differences like this movie is wrestling themed instead of basketball, it stars an 11-yea...
