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.

WWE Survivor Series 2018 | My Coherent Review.

Hello, my fellow wrestling fans reading this and welcome to my coherent review for Survivor Series 2018. Overall, it was a very entertaining show throughout with some minor issues and here's why.  (KICK OFF SHOW) Tag team Survivor Series match  This match was a great example of a skippable match until the last moments.  Xavier Woods did the springboard elbow drop and both members of The Revival countered that into a shatter machine which look amazing.  Minutes later, Scott Dawson hit a superplex to Jimmy Uso and an immediate frog splash from Dash Wilder to a near fall.  After that, Both Usos hit a superkick to Dash followed by a Uso splash and just like that, the Smackdown team took the W which WWE wants to forget about that (so stupid). A decent match but with a boring start in my opinion.  (MAIN SHOW) Women’s Survivor Series match  Before the match started when Nia Jax’s music hit, she got volcanic heat from the Los Ang...

WWE Wrestlemania: Backlash 2021 | A Coherent Review.

Wrestlemania: Backlash or as I like to call it, Backlashimania, gets an enthusiastic thumbs up for me. I enjoyed the hell out of this PPV overall.  Images via WWE.com The opening intro was narrated by the greatest of all time, Batista and it was straight badass despite the fact it was pretty much a promotion for Zack Snyder's new film, Army Of The Dead.  If you've read my about page, then you'll know that I ain't talking about Zack Snyder movies because his fans are…… never mind.  Rhea Ripley vs Charlotte Flair vs Asuka For The RAW Women's Championship.  Charlotte with the Cruella De Vil inspired ring gear was to quote Dolph Ziggler's old theme song, "perfection". The opening bout was fast-paced, high octane action that didn't have a slow/dull moment.  All of these women utilized quick grapples and strikes to their advantage.  Charlotte was this close to capturing the title but she was pushed to the outside, nailed the riptide to Asuka and that...

WWE NXT 2.0 16/11/21 | A Coherent Review.

I haven't reviewed NXT in two weeks and holy crap, I didn't miss much at all.  This week's show was BO. RING and I'm trying to make this interesting by adding my lame a** humour and you know you f'd up when I have to rely on my jokes to make this week's NXT discussion somewhat engaging.  Images via WWE.com   Tony D'Angelo vs Dexter Lumis.  The scary white man vs The spicy white man. WHO WILL SURVIVE!?  The answer is my favourite POC wrestler currently, Tony D'Angelo (that joke will never get old).  Johnny Gargano came to check on Dexter Lumis after Camelo Hayes and Trick Williams destroyed Lumis' hand.  Minutes later, all three guys in Dunne, Gargano and Hayes announced a triple threat match for the North American championship.  Should be a good match, is all I'm going to say about that.  Odyssey Jones And Jacket Time vs The Diamond Mine.  First off, Jacket time isn't a good tag team name. It sounds like me as a 5-year-old after wearing ...
