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.

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...

Escape The Undertaker | A Short Coherent Review.

The internet. The only place where your YouTube recommended is filled with "I DON'T EVEN KNOW THAT'S PG".  It is also home to Netflix which released an interactive movie produced by future Raspberry award-winning movie studio, WWE films. Look, the idea of 3 black dudes being trapped inside a house by a white conservative dead hog, is offensive and by that description alone, you weren't sure for a sec whether you were watching Netflix or the Daily Wire.  Luckily, there wasn't a cameo from Tessa Blanchard so you should be fine.  As a fan of Mass Effect 2, I love some dialogue trees that alter the events of a movie/game.  And, from a functionality standpoint, it is a technical marvel how it gives the audience the illusion of choice (you know, like our current economic system).  I say "illusion" because therein lies the main problem I have with the film. Your choices don't matter here. Even in a WWE movie, they're still trying to avoid the fan...

WWE Smackdown Live 11/9/18 | My Coherent Review.

Smackdown live was overall a good show. Why you ask? Well, I'm gonna tell you what's good, what's ok and what's bad. Here we go.  WHAT'S GOOD Jeff Hardy vs Shinsuke Nakamura The promo before this was okay however that was a goooood match. Better than their in counter at SummerSlam. Jeff was about to beat Nakamura, however, randy outta nowhere pushes hardy on the outside hence Nakamura retains the championship and Jeff wins via DQ. They had a brawl that was better than the brawl last night on RAW I'll tell you that much.  Samoa Joe telling a bedtime story in a good not boring way.   I thought from the editing to the design of the book to the way Samoa Joe express the story was fantastic. The thing I LOVE about this is that it's a outside in the box type of promo package that worked. Man, I can't wait for this match. On Sunday night when the PPV airs, I think I'm gonna call my local "WENDYYYS" (My goodness that was awfu...
