WWE RAW 7/9/20 | A Coherent Review.

WWE Monday Night RAW: Cobertura y resultados del 7 de septiembre de 2020

Last week, I was looking forward to this week's edition of Monday Night RAW 9

because they were trying some different things.

The latest episode really disappointed me for one reason.

It just felt uneventful.

Overall, not the best effort for the red brand.

Because of how skippable this program was, I am not going to talk about everything that happened but rather mention two interesting aspects.

Cedric Alexander Is Part Of The Hurt Business.

Yes, you read that right.

Cedric Alexander basically turned heel by aligning himself with the Hurt Business.

Despite being in the opposite team with Ricochet and Apollo Crews, he helped the trio of Bobby Lashley, Shelton Benjamin and MVP to win a tag team match.

Alexander explained his actions later in the night saying that he shouldn't sacrifice his body for Apollo Crews.

This is by far, the most interesting thing coming out of this show.

They have teased a turn to the dark side from Cedric going back earlier in the summer.

His promo was fine. The motivation made sense but I do think the delivery was a bit off.

I hope he can work on that because I've not seen this side of Alexander ever. Should be interesting.

Also, during the 8 man tag team match between The Viking Raiders, Ricochet, Apollo Crews and the Hurt Business, Ivar got no pun intended, hurt.

Here's the update from WWE (by WrestlingInc):

"During the Eight-Man Tag Team Match on Monday Night Raw, Ivar suffered a cervical injury on a Viking Dive to the floor.

As a precaution, Ivar was transported to a local hospital and is expected to make a full recovery."

Wishing him nothing but a fast recovery.

Drew Is Back Hitting Claymore Kicks On Randy Orton.

The show started off with a return of an angry, vengeful WWE champion, Drew McIntyre.

McIntyre kicked Orton's head off not once but twice.

During the Keith Lee and Randy Orton match, Drew interfered in the encounter ending the match with a disqualification.

This was an example of lazy writing because the booking of this finish was the exact same as the Keith Lee vs Randy Orton bout on the RAW after SummerSlam.

Unless they're writing a narrative where Keith Lee doesn't like the fact that McIntyre is interfering in his matches with the viper.

Some other things that happened on this show like:

The arrival of the Smackdown tag team champions because remember, the brand to brand invitation is still a thing apparently.

Street Profits vs Angel Garza and Andrade…………. AGAIN!

A meh RAW Underground.

A women's tag match that I don't really care for.

Billie Kay facing her now-former teammate, Peyton Royce to a match in the most monotonous of ways.

A Retribution promo as well as a 24/7 championship segment that I ABSOLUTELY do not care about.

Rey and his family nailed a series of kendo stick shots on Murphy after Dominik had a good match with the disciple.

So, here's the recap for all of you slow mofos:

Like: Cedric's heel turn, Dominik vs Murphy.

Didn't like: the booking for the Keith Lee vs Randy Orton match, overall an uneventful show.

WrestleFest DXB's Fahrenheit 971 | A Coherent W.

Being a fan of pro wrestling (or any other medium of entertainment) does have its pros and cons when engaging with the industry as a whole. On one hand, you've witnessed an Eddie Kingston promo that'll make you tear up more than the opening scene of Up. On the other hand, going to the wrestling subreddit will definitely have you questioning humanity as a whole and the fact that living in an area where a wrestling presence pretty much doesn't exist like a Vince Russo-written storyline that is, you know, GOOD!? Luckily, the latter retracted my con as a fan because I'm talking about Wrestlefest DXB and their latest joint, "971 Fahrenheit". Martin Bushby of now Post Wrestling Alumni brought the event to my attention because like a wrestler on an episode of RAW I get distracted all the time. So, I decided to take a short journey to a taxi then a bus then a train then a 30-minute walk to the show itself and I know I'm going to sound biased as f**k but I l...

WWE Wrestlemania 26 | A Coherent Review.

I've teased a mystery review on my Facebook page (which you can click here to follow us) and that mystery has now been unveiled. It's Wrestlemania 26. This review was delayed and was supposed to be up last Monday but at least is now up. Also, The first draft of this review was 7 pages long so strap in. By far, the longest review on this very website. I thought it would be fitting to review a Wrestlemania from a decade back and how do I feel about it? It was a show that if you watched it, you're most likely going to have a good time. It was a mix of great things but terrible things at the same time as most shows. The 26th edition of Wrestlemania took place in the University of Phoenix Stadium in the Phoenix suburb of Glendale, Arizona on March 28th, 2010. The commentators were Micheal Cole, Jerry Lawler and Matt Striker. Honestly, Striker was pretty good and a far better colour commentator than Lawler was on this show (even today, Lawler is still bleh on commen...

Let's Talk About The State Of Wrestlemania 37.

I usually save those kinds of pieces for my weekly news series, The 5 News Week due to how modern this subject is and how my essays usually dwell on the past. Usually, it is too early to talk about an upcoming Wrestlemania in October but not this time especially since we're still in a pandemic. This is a topic I've been thinking about all month and I had to write my thoughts on it. Let's answer this question right away whether Wrestlemania 37 will happen in SoFii stadium next year? from CBS Los Angeles The answer is an obvious no. But, I want to try to dig deeper and see exactly where we stand today. As of me writing this, Wrestlemania: Hollywood edition is still scheduled to take place in SoFi stadium despite an outlet that shall not be named, claiming otherwise. This is either sheer blind optimism or downright idiotic from Dubya, Dubya E. WrestleVotes did mention back in July that while the event is still going to take place in the stadium,...
