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. 

WWE Photo

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).

WWE Clash Of Champions 2019 | My Coherent Review.

This Clash of Champions show was one enormous meh. Also, AJ Styles in the pre-show? That's a first but that match was pretty decent as well as the cruiserweight championship match.  Seth Rollins And Braun Strowman vs Dolph Ziggler And Robert Roode For The RAW Tag team Championship.  During this tag team title match, Ziggler hits a devastating looking DDT to Seth Rollins outside the ring. The odd couple then delivered quick tag team moves but moments later Rollins reversed Ziggler's sleeper hold into a falcon arrow to which Rollins tagged Braun Strowman and took out Ziggler and Roode for a bit.  This match has ended with a Glorious DDT from Robert Roode to Seth Rollins after Braun accidentally knocked out Rollins and Ziggler threw the monster among men over the top rope.  A decent opener with a predictable ending that I don't mind. Maybe a triple threat match between the odd couple, The Viking Raiders and The O.C in Gallows and Anderson for the tag ...

WWE RAW 28/10/19 | My Coherent Review.

Not an enjoyable show like last week's show but it was okay for a typical RAW episode but for a PPV build up, it wasn't good at all.  The Women's Tag Team Champions Opens The Show And….. Paige started off this episode of Monday Night RAW and introduces the Kabuki Warriors which Paige hasn't been on their side for weeks and I'll explain that last comment.  Paige was putting over the warriors and Asuka grabbed her microphone immediately which led to Paige getting her mic back which led to Kairi Sane grabbing Paige's mic. Asuka splits that green mist to Paige to which Becky Lynch came out and brawls with Kairi Sane.  That betrayal from the Kabuki Warriors made a lot of sense considering that Paige didn't benefit them other than being their English spokesperson. Gotta give a big shout out to Paige for selling that green mist without taking a bump. That was great.  Becky Lynch vs Kairi Sane.  That was a very good opener. Kairi Sane reve...

THE Coherent AEW Take: I Ain't Tellin' You No Lie, The Hook Brings You Back

PAGE AND BRYAN! HOOK! HOOK! HOOK! PAGE AND BRYAN! HOOK! HOOK! HOOK!  That's it. That's the intro.  Rampage.   Highlights.  HOOOOOOOOK!  I mean, I gotta support the man himself named Hook, DUHHH!  What can I say, I like a man that is built different, quick, agile and hard……..in professional wrestling, of course.  Suffice to say, Hook does something that Kalya Braxton doesn't and that is, making all biracials proud.  FTR vs Lucha Brothers for the AEW world tag team championship Two of the best tag teams I've ever witnessed as a wrestling fan (yes, they're THAT darn good) battling it out in an opening match so banging, not even your Beats headphone can replicate it, ya feel me?  The Lucha Brothers get to walk out of this episode of Rampage still as the reigning world tag champs.  Some Other Things That Happened.  Adam Cole defeated Wheeler Yuta - Adam Cole appreciation comment.  Dynamite.  Highlights.  Hangman Page...
