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.

Should Dave Meltzer Get Rid Of His Rating System?

So a few weeks ago, good old Dave Meltzer of the wrestling observer newsletter gave the Kazuchika Okada vs Kenny omega match at dominion 2018 a 7-star rating. According to the interent wrestling database , this match is by far his HIGHEST match rating ever (i don't blame him because the match was amazing). So statistically, this is his favourite match of all time . Now, why I'm writing this now?  Well, his best match ratings have been a consistent 5 stars since 1983 with the exception of all the Omega vs Okada matches and the Mitsuharu Misawa vs Toshiaki Kawada match at AJPW's Budokan hall show in June of 1994.  There are fans that take his match ratings as an offence somehow like "Why he rates X match better than Y match?" or thinks that he "hates" WWE which is ridiculous considering that he gave three WWE matches a 5 star ratings just this past year. One was the ladder match to crown the first ever NXT North American champion, the Johnny Garga...

WWE Smackdown Live 10/7/18 | My Coherent Review.

Smackdown live was a bad show that did nothing as a wrestling fan to gain any excitement for extreme rules. Why you ask? Well i'm gonna give you what's good. No scratch that, i'm gonna give you what's ok and what's bad. Here we go. WHAT'S OK The opening segment and the brawl after that The opening segment was meh. And the brawl after that was fine. Didn't make me go "OHHHHHHHHHHH" or anything like along those lines. That brawl leads to a TEN MAN TAG TEAM match (Ummmmmm no shit omar). I will say this, the segment kinda teased the fact that maybe kane will turn on his best friend? I don't know. Should be interesting.  Andrade "cien" almas vs Sin cara The match was surprisingly decent. At one point andrade delivered a devastating stomp to sin cara on the ring apron. Andrade wins with a running knee to sin cara on the middle rope. Hoping andrade can move on to bigger and better things.  WHAT'S BAD ...

WWE Smackdown Live 19/2/19 | My Coherent Review.

This show was overall, a skippable show just like RAW yesterday and here's why.  Opening segment.  The show kicked off with Shane McMahon with his usual cheap pop. After that, Shane McMahon announced that Aleister Black, Johnny Gargano, Ricochet and Tommaso Ciampa will be on SmackDown Live just like RAW last night (click here to read my RAW review).  Out came The Miz and he said that he hasn't stop thinking about their match at Elimination Chamber. Miz also said he admitted that he used Shane because Miz wanted to make Shane McMahon understand where's Miz's coming from.  Miz then wanted a rematch between him, Shane McMahon and the Usos for the SmackDown Live tag team championship to which the Usos came out and insulted The Miz.  That led to Shane McMahon saying that the rematch is on but at Fastlane in two weeks. So we got the first official match scheduled for Fastlane and considering that Shane is a McMahon and has all the Authority, I do...
