WWE RAW 9/3/20 | My Coherent Review.

This is the promo package edition of Monday Night RAW. All lame jokes aside, at least this episode wasn't offensive to watch so there's that but that doesn't mean that it's decent either (so many that's in a sequence of sentences). 

Becky Lynch Addresses Her Challenger.

Lynch tells the world that the time for joking around is over (there you go, fans who hated her confidence for the past weeks) and proceeded to show what happened last night at Elimination Chamber (which you can click here to read the entire review). 

The champ then praised Shayna Baszler for her accomplishments but then told the former NXT champion that she's a "black hole of charisma". 

Lynch mentioned that she has beaten someone clean that has the same MMA experience as Shayna Baszler at Wrestlemania and it's going to happen again 3 weeks from Sunday. 

Great promo as usual from the man. Yes, her confidence is not for everyone but that's how her character was built. 

Angel Garza vs Rey Mysterio.

A rematch from a month ago and while it was a 50/50 booking, the match was actually good. Mysterio wins with the 619. 

After that, Kevin Owens got a 4 on 1 beatdown. That was not a smart move but okay. 

Charlotte Flair Confronts The NXT Women's Champion.

Flair started her promo saying "Did you see that package?" (I'm sure people are going to take that line out of context). The queen calls the current NXT women's champion, Rhea Ripley a shining new toy. 

That shinning new toy, Rhea Ripley showed up and Flair told her that this isn't NXT but rather Monday Night RAW (oh, so worst right?) and Ripley is in her kingdom. 

Ripley responded with a punch on Charlotte's face. That "kingdom line" was cringeworthy but nevertheless, a decent segment. 

Bobby Lashley vs Zack Ryder.

"Down goes Ryder" is a line that should be expected to be said every time Zack loses. Lashley won with the dominator. Let's just say that love triangle story is dead.  

Seth Rollins *coughed once* I mean, The Monday Night Messiah asked Aleister Black in Black's darkroom to join his group but the striking man from Amsterdam said no. 

Rollins then pulled out a Nexus from 2010 saying that he's either with him or against him. Black replied by telling him that it sounds like fighting words. Black's having back to back dream matches like facing Styles and now, Seth Rollins so that's cool. 

Drew McIntyre vs Erick Rowan.

McIntyre at one point, squashed the cage with the steel steps and that led to a Claymore kick from the Scotsmen. 

Inside the cage, by the way, was a big ass spider. All that tease for nothing. 

The Kabuki Warriors vs Natalya And Liv Morgan.

The women's tag team champions cut a weird yet amusing promo. The match was aight. 

Ruby Riott and Sarah Logan showed up to obviously distract Liv Morgan duh but instead, Morgan delivers a crossbody on both Riott and Morgan. 

That didn't help Natalya because Kabuki Warriors won the bout with a roundhouse kick. 

AJ Styles Livid About What Happened Last Night. 

Styles wasn't happy about the loss he took saying that The Undertaker stuck his nose in Styles' business where it doesn't belong. AJ Styles challenges him to a match and calls him a broken old man named Mark Callaway. 

The phenomenal one has a reason why Undertaker keeps on coming back and that's his wife. Anything she wants, the phenom gets but that's exactly what Styles wants. 

At Wrestlemania, Styles loves to see the deadman actually dead. This is the first time The Undertaker's real name was mentioned on television if I'm not mistaken. But, this was okay. 

Riddick Moss vs Cedric Alexander For The 24/7 Championship. 

Moss continues his undefeated streak with that W. Moss' win led to MVP cutting a promo immediately after the commercial break. Montel says that he can make Edge a champion again.

Out came Edge and after MVP asked him how's his wife, Edge speared the guy to which Randy Orton entered the ring from outta nowhere and both guys brawled. 

Edge hits the RKO on Orton but Edge absolutely, viciously destroys MVP with a series of chair shots with chants of "one more time"

The Rated R Superstar saw Randy running and Edge proceeded to chase him. Damn, that was great. Who's with me in that this match should main event WrestleMania? 

Aleister Black vs Seth Rollins. 

WWE Photo

Thanks to Murphy, this match ended in a DQ and Seth's gang were beating up Aleister but he got some help in The Viking Raiders and The Street Profits. You know what that means? 

A 5 out of 10 worthy 6 man tag team match. The heel team captured the W with a stomp from Seth Rollins to Montez Ford. Oh, and Kevin Owens showed up to then get his ass kicked once again by the Monday Night Messiah and his followers. 

I went from being curious as to how this plays out to now not giving a single crap about this feud. This is basically a WWE 2K universe mode type of tag team rivalry in the sense that random wrestlers interject themselves for no reason. That segment with Edge, MVP and Randy should've been the ending not this. 

So, to recap for all of you slow mofos. 

Like: Edge, MVP and Randy segment, Becky Lynch promo, Rey vs Garza. 

Didn't like: The ending was underwhelming (that surprisingly rhymed).

My Coherent Wrestling Wednesdays: Chris Jericho Offers Moxley To Join Inner Circle, The Go-Home Show Before Dec 18th.

I thought the middle act of AEW Dynamite suffered some pacing issues even though it was overall a much stronger show than last week's episode.  The latest episode of NXT, however, has built a solid foundation on what's to come on December 18th. The main question is, which show do I like better? The answer is AEW.  NXT  Highlights. Angel Garza vs Lio Rush For The NXT Cruiserweight Championship.  Was this match better than their first encounter? Like Snoop Dogg's verse in Sasha Banks' theme song, "Hell yea". Garza slams Rush hard on the ring apron by pushing the champ. Moments later, Garza delivers the Spanish Fly and Rush kicked out of that.  As Rush hits the frog splash, the champ wanted to pull him back in the middle of the ring but instead, he ripped off Garza's pants (nice attention to detail).  Angel then hits the wind clipper but Lio kicked out which led to a wind clipper submission and the man of the hour tapped out which m...

The 5 News Week: An Interview With ROH's Eli Isom, Fans Singing Petitions For Charlotte Flair Not Winning Titles Anymore!?

Hello, my fellow wrestling fans and welcome to the 5 news week. The post where I report 5 major or minor news of the week that I don't have time to do it separately. Without further ado, here are the 5 news week. An Interview With ROH's Eli Isom.  Yes. After several and several and several of The 5 News Week articles that I've been putting out since late 2018, I finally got an interview for you guys.  The person in question is Ring Of Honour's Eli Isom. Since graduating from the ROH Dojo, Isom has worked and learned from the absolute best in the industry:  "I’m lucky that I got a chance to train from scratch with ROH, without that kind of training who knows where I’d be right now." So, without further ado, here is the conversation I had with Eli.  Omar: My first question is, how would you describe the persona of "Eli Isom" to resident WWE shills like myself? Eli Isom: For me, my wrestling persona isn’t too far off from who I real...

A Brief Guide To Pro Wrestling Websites.

So. You just become a fan of pro wrestling and have dabbled into the fandom for a bit (it's a mess ain't it?) You've just followed some news sites' social media platforms but aren't sure whether the articles they put out are accurate or not.  Well, you got the right guy to solve that problem if it's from a blog that barely gets any traction (that would be me in case you were confused).  The news we get from the medium that is pro wrestling is an integral part of the online space.  The reason being is that it's not only a great conversation starter but you could also learn something new today about the industry you love.  That doesn't mean that all of the news you see on the timeline is reliable.  I'm here to hopefully give you a guide to wrestling sites.  There are many wrestling websites out there but I wanna highlight some of the notable ones.  Okay? Here we go.  #1: Wrestling Observer Newsletter aka F4WOnline.  I can't talk about a guide t...
