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 RAW 30/12/19 | My Coherent Review.

I'm back from a two-week review hiatus and honestly, it was refreshing but this ain't about me. You're here for my thoughts on the final RAW of the 2010s and it was decent until the ending.  I'm still in shock as to what did I just witness. I've not been this shocked from seeing an ending like that probably since watching the movie "Schindler's List".  Kevin Owens Wants To Take Seth Rollins And AOP Down.  Owens in a promo, says that the heel trio are disrespecting Rey Mysterio and shows footage of Mysterio losing the US title to Andrade in a house show even though the luchador wasn't 100%.  Seth Rollins and his friends came out and Kevin Owens immediately tried to attack AOP but that did not fail thanks to Samoa Joe and chaos has ensued to start off RAW.  Charly Caruso showed up to interview Samoa Joe about what AOP and Rollins did to him last week to which a bunch of security guards entered the locker room to get rid of Owens ...

WWE RAW 11/2/19 | My Coherent Review.

This go home show makes me wanna go home if I was an attendance of this show. In other words, RAW wasn't good and here's why.  Opening Segment.  The show started off with The Authority. A stable that I actually don't mind but that a different topic. Anyways, they run down the Elimination Chamber PPV card. After that, The Man Becky Lynch came out and Triple H said that he will lift the suspension if Becky apologizes to both him and Stephanie.    Becky then told Stephanie to shut her face and she refused to apologize. The segment ended with Hunter giving her two choices. Either Becky apologizes to them or Becky's WrestleMania match is off.  Compared to the segments on RAW and Smackdown last week, this was underwhelming.  Sasha and Bayley vs Liv Morgan and Sarah Logan vs Nia Jax and Tamina. Loser enters first in the Elimination Chamber match.  The match was fine. During the match, Bayley delivered two stunners on the ...

WWE NXT 25/5/21 | A Bit Late Coherent Review.

  NXT has once again, produced an engaging, well written, scripted and produced show. Why? Well *slaps his head multiple times* Here's why.  Images via WWE.com   Ember Moon And Shotzi Blackheart vs Raquel Gonzalez And Dakota Kai. The match ended with a win from the good guys to which they immediately got a BEATING from the NXT women's champion.  It is still so weird that Raquel made a u-turn to the good side and her babyface run didn't even last a week.  I will say, the opening contest was pretty good.  In a produced scene, Hit Row wants all of the championship gold. I'm hoping they fulfil the promise real quick because Hit Row is already one of my favourite groups in wrestling.  Speaking of promos, Tommaso Ciampa and Timothy Thatcher simply stated that they wanted to beat the holy hell out of the Grizzled Young Veterans.  Zack Gibson and British Seth Green, James Blake, wanted to move on from Ciampa and Thatcher but they do not want to move on fr...
