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 RAW 16/8/21 | A Coherent Review.

Another week, another L for the red brand in terms of overall quality. And they do not need that L considering that it's the final show before this year's SummerSlam event.  Images via WWE.com   Randal Keith Orton And Riddal Are Back Together?  Randy explained his actions last week, stating that he simply doesn't owe anyone an explanation because he's Randy Orton (okay?).  Out came the most obnoxious person in Riddle and he wanted RKBRO to reunite. Styles showed up to hype up his big goof in Omos.  That RKO last week was as confusing as the thought of Jupiter Ascending being a "good movie".    The question is, did the band realigned themselves once again?  The answer was a soft no if you stopped watching the show after the Riddle and AJ Styles match (I don't blame ANYONE that stops watching Monday Night RAW).  However, that became a solid yes after Randy's bout with Omos. Am I the only one that feels kinda mid about this?  It's not terri...

WWE Smackdown Live 3/9/19 | My Coherent Review.

A pretty decent Smackdown Live episode considering that Smackdown Live has been RAW 2018: blue edition in recent weeks so I'm surprised that the episode was not terrible.  Bayley And Sasha Are Tired Of Being Humble. Well, Sasha Banks Is But Not Bayley Yet.  Bayley came out smiling as if nothing happened with some mixed reactions from the crowd. Bayley apparently doesn't get it because she's been humble with her best friend and she basically states that she's not the bad guy and never will be the bad guy (will see about that).  After Bayley talks about how Charlotte is selfish, out came the queen and she says that Charlotte is the queen of selfishness with no hugging but Sasha Banks came out before the queen was going to say about what she's going to do at Clash Of Champions.  Charlotte kicks the Smackdown women's champion and Sasha brawled with Charlotte which led to Bayley hitting Flair with a series of chair shots before Banks got her turn. ...

The 5 News Week: Everything YOU Need To Know About Adam Cole’s Status In WWE.

Hello, my fellow wrestling fans and welcome to the 5 news week. The post where I report 5 major or minor pro wrestling news, rumours and spoilers of the week that I don't have time to do it separately.  Without further ado, here are the 5 news week.  Some images via wwe.com Everything YOU Need To Know About Adam Cole’s Status In WWE.  By the time this article hits the interwebs, this piece of news will be outdated as f**k because SO many reports have been released left, right and centre regarding Adam Cole's status in world wrestling entertainment (yea, no sh*t, a**hole).  So, Let's summarize this bad boy. Adam Cole's contract expired after the 2021 edition of NXT's Great American Bash show this past July and agreed to extend his contract till Summerslam (from Wrestling Inc ).  Dave Meltzer of "I should think before I say something", has heard that Cole was offered a contract from "the best brand for white guys with wrestling podcasts", AEW while...
