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 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...

Top 7 Best NXT Takeover Theme Songs.

Everbody likes to put on some good music. You like good music. Your friends and family like good music. However, what makes a song good is completely subjective but in my opinion, NXT are nailing it with their takeover theme songs and I'm ranking them on a glorified subjective form of content and that is list videos/articles or in my case a top seven list. Without further ado, Here are my top seven best NXT takeover theme songs.  7. Serpents by Neck Deep   The reason why I like this song so much is that   it gives me some early 2000s punk rock which by listening to this song, it feels like they're paying a homage to that era. overall a good listen that depending on how old you are will give a nostalgic feel like I did.  6. Ace Of Spades by  Motörhead Now, l like me some Motörhead. Triple H's current theme and the evolution theme song is some of my favourite theme music of all time and this is no exception. The only critique I have for this song ...
