WWE RAW 15/3/21 | A Coherent Review.


Another mediocre episode of Monday Night RAW that provided nothing that would at least intrigue me going into Wrestlemania.

Drew McIntyre Has Some Words For The Almighty. 

Before Drew McIntyre squares off with The Miz, McIntyre congratulates Bobby Lashley for the WWE title victory and is sympathetic with Bobby Lashley's journey to get to the top. 

However, the Scotsmen warned Lashley that he'll take that championship come Wrestlemania. 

Lashley then attacked McIntyre to which The Miz attacked McIntyre. 


It wasn't noteworthy or anything but this segment was aight. 

Now. You thought that Drew is actually going to lose to The Miz? WWE will never have their challenger lose (if you can't tell, I'm being sarcastic). 

Drew won with the Full Nelson submission which is obviously sending a message to Bob Lashley. 

Braun Strowman Challenged Shane McMahon To A Match Later In The Episode. 

Strowman told Shane O that he's been bullied by people like Shane (that has to be a lie) but Shane's upbringing doesn't make Shane smarter than him (Wow, so inspirational). 

McMahon replied basically calling Braun stupid in ways that would only make himself laugh. 

Strowman then challenged Shane O to a match and Shane accepted. 

Hours later, the match happened and pretty much, Shane produced some simple exercises that Braun obviously can't follow because HE'S AN IDIOT! 

After Shane put Braun through an announce table with his signature elbow drop, he poured the guy with green slime. 

This entire feud is basically,

"you're dumb".

"I'm not dumb! Let's have a match."

This is engaging storytelling according to Titan Towers. 

R Truth with his Stone Cold impression, is celebrating 3/16 day even though it's tomorrow. Meh. 

Naomi And Lana vs Mandy Rose And Dana Brooke. 

This match was known for one thing, Asuka's return and she kicked Shayna's head off. 

Asuka's getting more vicious and I like it. It is a change of pace that is needed for the Asuka character. 

Meanwhile, Dana Brooke and Mandy Rose picked up the victory. Cool. 


Damian Priest and Bad Bunny had a tense verbal interaction with The Miz and John Morrison. 

Moments later, Bad Bunny actually gave R Truth the 24/7 championship. What a gentleman. 

Damian Priest vs Jaxson Ryker. 

After Damian Priest had defeated Jaxson Ryker, Elias tried to hit Priest with the guitar but it was prevented by Bad Bunny. 

John Morrison distracted both guys that led to The Miz hitting Bad Bunny with the guitar. 


Alexa Bliss challenged Randall Keith Orton at Fastlane for a match. 

The Fiend is coming back. Please, credit the site for this scoop. 

Riddle vs Mustafa Ali For The United States Championship. 

This match was decent. 

Ali's Retribution stale unfortunately and unintentionally helped Riddle retain the championship via a distraction followed by the Broderick. 

Asuka vs Shayna Baszler. 

Asuka wanted to shatter Shayna Baszler's teeth and the ref wasn't having it. 

So, the match abruptly ended but as I said earlier, this "not giving a sh*t" side of Asuka is needed. 

This is the first time I've seen WWE giving character's some development on the women's division on RAW since probably Alexa Bliss several months back. 

The New Day vs The Hurt Business For The RAW Tag Team Championship. 

Look, this match was good. However, the outcome was so predictable yet disappointing at the same time. 

I wish that Shelton and Cedric would hold the championship for a while but it is what it is. 

The New Day captured the tag belts for the 11th time. AJ Styles showed up and he challenged The New Day for the belts at Wrestlemania. I guess that match with Triple H ain't happening. 

Should be a fun encounter. 

Bobby Lashley vs Sheamus. 


The WWE champion defeated Sheamus with the spear that had me praying for Sheamus' hips. 

Drew McIntyre showed up and Claymore kicked Bob Lashley to end this week's episode of Meh Night RAW. 

So, to recap for all of you slow mofos. 

Like: Asuka's vicious side, The New Day vs The Hurt Business. 

Didn't like: Shane McMahon and Braun Strowman bit.

A Guide On How To Improve Wrestling Criticism.

Now, before you all verbally eat me alive like a hippopotamus (yes hippos eat humans, look that up), understand that I’m just an average dude writing about pro wrestling and doesn’t claim to be an expert in anything and that includes professional wrestling (except cooking. I’m damn good at cooking).  However, what I’ve been discovering as a pro wrestling blogger for over a year is that there are some wrestling criticism out there that just make me wanna scratch my head to the point where my hands turn into an electric shaver if that makes sense. For instance, “Why is Ricochet’s trunks red instead of white?” or “Why’s Andrade wearing his Luchador mask for his entrance every week?”  In other words, they’re nitpicking and trust me I do that ALL THE TIME in my wrestling reviews. There’s nothing wrong with nitpicking certain things but the difference is that I acknowledge that I’m nitpicking and those guys clearly don’t.  There are fans out there on the interweb that b...

WWE RAW 30/12/19 | My Coherent Review.

I'm back from a two-week review hiatus and honestly, it was refreshing but this ain't about me. You're here for my thoughts on the final RAW of the 2010s and it was decent until the ending.  I'm still in shock as to what did I just witness. I've not been this shocked from seeing an ending like that probably since watching the movie "Schindler's List".  Kevin Owens Wants To Take Seth Rollins And AOP Down.  Owens in a promo, says that the heel trio are disrespecting Rey Mysterio and shows footage of Mysterio losing the US title to Andrade in a house show even though the luchador wasn't 100%.  Seth Rollins and his friends came out and Kevin Owens immediately tried to attack AOP but that did not fail thanks to Samoa Joe and chaos has ensued to start off RAW.  Charly Caruso showed up to interview Samoa Joe about what AOP and Rollins did to him last week to which a bunch of security guards entered the locker room to get rid of Owens ...

AEW Double Or Nothing | My Coherent Review.

I was supposed to post this review two hours after the show aired but my internet connection went down for several hours and I got extremely frustrated and if you’re addicted to the interwebs, that is probably the scariest thing ever other than your worst fear of course. Anyways, I, unfortunately, haven't watched the two pre-show matches because I was out working. So, the million dollar question, was AEW's Double Or Nothing a great show? I'm happy to announce that it was an outstanding PPV overall. One of the problems I had with ALL IN is the match card placements and they fixed it in this PPV.  Oh, and I'm warning you guys that this PPV review is longer than my Wrestlemania 35 review (which you can click here ) just because a lot of things happened on this show. Unfortunately, I couldn’t find pictures for each match so y’all are only going to see the writing.  Double Or Nothing started off with the Hamilton stars sang the American National anthem (omg, can Ja...
