WWE RAW 24/8/20 | A Bit Late Coherent Review.

Monday Night RAW is going back. By that, I mean, back to back dull episodes.

By the way, I'm not going to write about everything that happened on this show but rather the things that were eye-opening.

The reason being is that the show wasn't engaging as a whole.

Drew McIntyre Opens The Show.

He indeed did and in it, a promo was cut pretty much saying that he's ready for new challenges but if he encounters Randy Orton again, unlike SummerSlam, he will kick his head off.

Speaking of the viper, Orton attacked McIntyre from THE behind as the champion was in the entrance stage area.

The beating continued in the gorilla position and the segment ended with a punt kick from Randy Orton.

By far, the best thing about this show. Started off hot and it stayed that way until the very next segment.

Keith Lee Debuts On RAW But With A Twist??

Keith Lee interrupted a Randy Orton in-ring promo.

Lee came out with a terrible theme song as well as a skirt and a vest ring gear.

Keith's debut is an example of "if it ain't broke, don't fix" because they really tried to add something that didn't need adding.

Keith Lee faced Randy Orton later in the night but it ended via a DQ due to interference by Drew McIntyre.

Because of the way Drew was attacked backstage moments later, Keith Lee is scheduled to face the legend killer himself at Payback this Sunday.

The fact that Lee is in the main event program is cool.

Just bring back the theme music and some decent ring attire but I'm just nitpicking at the end of the day.

However, it should be noted whether his position in that main event scene lasts for a while or not.

Apollo Crews' Final Confrontation With Bobby Lashley Before Their Match At Payback.

Mark Henry moderated an arm-wrestling contest between Lashley and Apollo Crews.

That is interesting because back in 2007, Bobby Lashley took part in an arm-wrestling contest from the moderator himself, Mark Henry.

By far, THE best thing about this segment or even this show is when Henry mistakenly called Cedric Alexander, "Cedric the entertainer".

A laugh out loud moment right there.

I don't know how the match between Lashley and Crews at Payback will be booked or how Lashley loses the match (which is my prediction).

Considering that Bobby has been written like a destroyer for the past 5 or so months.

Retribution Strikes Again!?

The masked group interrupted a fun tag match between Dominik and Rey Mysterio vs Seth Rollins and Murphy.

They beat the living hell out of Rey and Dominik. Seth Rollins and Murphy?

Well, they escaped as soon as they showed up.

The ending was surprisingly okay but as I said earlier, at least the match itself was fun.

Aleister Black Turns Heel!?

Aleister Black was the recent guest on the Kevin Owens show and the discussion centred around one man, the Monday Night Messiah, Seth Rollins.

Black took his frustrations that he had for Rollins and Murphy on to Kevin Owens with the black mass.

While I didn't completely hate his "white knight" phase for Rey Mysterio earlier in the summer, I do believe that his momentum as a top player slowed down quite a bit.

This is something different for Black to play with aka a heel run so I'm interested.

Some things that happened on this show that wasn't really memorable like:

The Natalya/Lana and Mickie James segment.

A decent rematch between Asuka and Sasha Banks but in a lumberjack match for the RAW women's title.

RAW Underground that saw Lashley, MVP and Shelton putting the hurt in Hurt Business.

Montez Ford vs Angel Garza. It was meh.

Akira Tozawa won back the 24/7 championship. Cool.

Another meh match in the Riott Squad (except for Sarah Logan) and Bianca Belair vs The IIconics and Zelina Vega.

Shayna Baszler and Nia Jax are a unit? Huh?

So, to recap for all of you slow mofos.

Like: The opening segment, Dominik and Rey Mysterio vs Seth Rollins and Murphy.

Didn't like: The confusing alliance between Shayna Baszler and Nia Jax, a boring second half.

WWE Eyeing On New Creative Writers.

Last week on RAW, The McMahon family announced that there will be new faces and fresh match ups. What better way to invoke change than to seek out new writers with different ideas right? WWE are actively seeking for new writer's assistant positions with at least two years in writing television and or/ production experience and preferably but not necessary, a degree in Film/TV/Drama, Media Studies, Journalism, Communications, English, or related field of study. For everyone who thinks they can do it better, here's your opportunity. Merry Christmas! https://t.co/FJch1rOXCM — Jimmy Korderas (@jimmykorderas) December 24, 2018 What do I think of this? As long as Vince is in charge, unfortunately, nothing is going to change for the better of the product but that's just me. Let me know in the comments on how you would change the WWE product and follow the blog for honest pro wrestling opinions. Anyways, stay safe smarks.

WWE RAW 13/9/21 | A Coherent Review.

Ya boy took a week off of talking about wrestling which is something I usually need after watching a single episode of Monday Night RAW but consistency is key, people! In recent weeks, however, Monday Night RAW doesn't feel like mental torture and the latest episode is no exception. Images via WWE.com Big E Was Like, "I'm Definitely Cashing In My Contract". The lovable wholesome gyrating big man name Big E interacted with Randy Orton as well as Bobby Lashley ahead of the WWE title match between Bob and Randal. The reason is obvious. Big E wants to cash in seeing Becky Lynch's mother again (that's not it?). All lame jokes aside, the big man did cash in the contract to become the NEW WWE champion later in the episode after a successful title defence from Bobby Lashley against Randy Orton. Words cannot describe how f**king happy I am seeing one of my favourite performers finally capture the gold which was long overdue if you ask me. I will go as far as to

Top 3 BEST Distraction Finishes EVER!

Distraction endings to a wrestling match in WWE depend on one another if you think about it. It's like the peanut butter and jelly or the chicken and the basmati biryani rice or Dan Lambert and sexism. "Why top 3", you may ask? Because one, I'm different and two, well, I'm different, so be gone to the mofos that think it's shorter than Brock Lesnar's bout with Kofi Kingston. (WARNING: This piece is mostly sarcasm). Daniel Bryan vs Sheamus. Wrestlemania 28. I know this made your eyebrows raise as high as Rocky Maivia but think about this. The kiss from AJ Lee that led to a brogue kick from Sheamus, has in some way, led to the general audience seeing how Daniel Bryan should be WAY higher in the overall arc than where he was at that time. Also, this was also the year where Bryan showed off his comedic chops with his "NO" catchphrase and his tag team run with the big red conservative, Kane. If anything, this distraction finish was a great chara
