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 RAW 7/1/19 | My Coherent Review

My first RAW review of 2019 and surprisingly, this show was decent. Now, would RAW put on decent shows in the coming weeks or months? Probably not but I hope that's the case. Now, usually on my RAW and Smackdown Live reviews, I give my thoughts on what's good, what's ok and what bad ( click here if you curious as to how the format looks like). However, since this is the new year, I'm gonna get rid of that and instead just put my in-depth thoughts just like my PPV reviews. Without further ado, on with the review.  Opening Segment The show itself started off with a brawl between Seth Rollins and Bobby Lashley that lasted for a very short period of time. After that’s done, the opening segment started with John Cena and cuts a promo on how he’s gonna earn his golden ticket to Wrestlemania by entering in this year’s Royal Rumble match.  Out came Drew McIntyre and he said that Cena’s accomplishments is what Drew cares about. He then went on how he’s b...

The 5 News Week: The Current Plan For Eva Marie According To Reports.

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.  What’s Going On With The ShowBuzz Daily Website!? Dave Meltzer on the Wrestling Observer has expressed concern regarding Showbuzz Daily not posting the daily TV rating due to technical issues stating (from Cagesideseats ) "all wrestling companies, TV companies, sports stations, etc. looked to that site for numbers.” The owner of the Showbuzz Daily entity, Mitch Metcalf, took to the blue hell that is Twitter and said that they can't add content to the site anymore over a shutdown that isn't clear as to what caused the shutdown itself.  Metcalf went on to highlight that due to operating the site without generating revenue, the cost and time to bring back the site has made him think about the future of ShowBuzz Daily.  Is...

WWE Super Showdown 2020 | My Coherent Review.

Super showdown 2020 was dull, boring and even frustrating at times. The two previous Saudi shows from last year were surprisingly okay but this was just a flavourless taste in my mouth and this is coming from the resident WWE shill. By far, the worst PPV of 2020 so far.  PRESHOW: The Viking Raiders vs The O.C. In Luke Gallows And Karl Anderson.  A skippable match that we've seen for the gazillionth time. Yay for unwanted repetition! The O.C wins. Cool.  MAIN-SHOW: AJ Styles vs. Andrade vs. Bobby Lashley vs. Erick Rowan vs. R-Truth vs. Rey Mysterio. Gauntlet Match for the Tuwaiq Trophy.  R Truth and Bobby Lashley started off this match and Truth wins via a roll-up. Lashley then attacks R Truth (like we've not seen that spot before) to which out came the second opponent of the night, the returning Andrade and the way that encounter ended was odd yet somehow not horrible.  Both men hit each other with their heads and Truth pins the guy to keep fight...
