WWE Hell In A Cell 2021 | A Coherent Review.

It is an odd choice to move a PPV that is traditionally slated for October to June. 

It makes sense to me considering that one, the weather is too damn hot and two, our world's current economics relies on profit rather than need. 

Sh*t, this is damn near hell on earth, my guys. 

All random tangents aside, how was the 2021 edition of Hell In A Cell? It was a decent/enjoyable 2 and half hours of professional wrestling. 

I would be lying though if I said that y'all should go out of their way to see this show because nothing actually notable happened here. 

I've not seen the tag match at the pre-show but based on the participants, I'm going to assume that the match was okay because ain't nobody praising it.

Bianca Belair vs Bayley For The SmackDown Women's Championship In A Hell In A Cell Match. 


Like I've said in my previous reviews, Bayley's psychotic laugh is scarier than anything that WWE tried to pull off with Alexa Bliss. 

I thought the opening exhibition was quite average. It didn't do anything to re-invigorate the Hell In A Cell structure. The bout felt like a standard no DQ match inside a cage. 

Bayley may have a chair in hand for some devastating offence but Bianca got something that's even more brutal. Her hair (no sh*t, Omar). 


It would be cool if Bianca used her hair to carry a chair or a kendo stick and whip it on Bayley (sh*t, I should be a producer bruh. What a genius idea). 

The former Smackdown women's champion did some damage to Belair's arm.

And that wasn't enough to defeat Bianca as the EST of WWE walked out of the final PPV on the Thunderdome still the champ. 


Bianca Belair comments on her match. Meanwhile, Alexa Bliss cut a promo saying the usual weird sh*t. 

Seth Rollins vs Cesaro. 


Before the bell had rung, Cesaro was attacked by the so-called "your" resident drip expert named Sethy. 

Their matches were nothing but bangers and this was no exception. 

Seth Rollins outwrestled the Swiss cyborg with an inside cradle from Rollins to win the match. 

A weird decision to make that will definitely lead to yet another rematch (that I don't mind, by the way). 

Shayna Baszler vs Alexa Bliss. 


It's that type of match which means hide your kids, grab your wife and better get outta sight otherwise Alexa Bliss will definitely utter the phrase, "Who do you voodoo, B*TCH!" 

To say that the match was weird, is an understatement. 

The woman had Nia Jax control Jax's hand and with the help of Bliss' voodoo a** powers, Jax legit b*tch slapped Reginald which made me laugh uncontrollably like a f**king psychopath. 

The laugh stems from the fact that everything surrounding the feud and the match itself is so darn bad. Bliss wins with the twisted Bliss. 

Kevin Owens vs Sami Zayn. 


Sami Zayn channelled his inner Ric Flair of some sort by selling that throw from Kevin Owens that had Zayn land on the top apron. 

The thing I love about this match is that I always find some innovative things about the match. 

For instance, the way Owens kicked out of a pin by moving his shoulder is such a brilliant booking decision. 

The bout was simply a fun encounter. Sami won here with the helluva kick and he honestly needed that W given that he's been losing a LOT as of late. 

Rhea Ripley vs Charlotte Flair For The RAW Women's Championship. 


I wasn't a fan of how this feud was constructed. Throughout the rivalry, Flair has been taking loss after loss even though the rivalry involves the women's championship. 

Those two women have great in-ring chemistry though and it was shown here. I thought both women delivered a great old school slow-paced match but that ending gave me a bad bitter taste in my mouth. 

Rhea Ripley used the top announce table cover to end the match via a DQ. 

I get that this was a way to protect yet another L from Flair but it was just an uncreatively path to execute that milestone. 

Drew McIntyre vs Bobby Lashley For The WWE Championship. 


The match started off way too slow but it picked up well midway through the match. 

They literally (pun intended) beat the holy hell out of each other. 

The outcome was a predictable one but the way the match had ended was so Goddamn lame. 

Really? A f**king roll up? It's like playing/enjoying the video game Cyberpunk 2077 only to get the Araska ending. It's so frustratedly awful. 

So, to recap for all of you slow mofos. 

Like: Rhea Ripley vs Charlotte Flair, Drew McIntyre vs Bobby Lashley (the matches itself), Sami Zayn vs Kevin Owens, Seth Rollins vs Cesaro. 

Didn't: The ending of both the Drew McIntyre and Bobby Lashley match and the Rhea Ripley and Charlotte Flair match, Shayna Baszler vs Alexa Bliss.

WWE Smackdown 24/4/20 | A Coherent Review.

This week's Smackdown show was decent but it wasn't as strong as the previous weeks and *hits his head a few times* here's why.  The New Day Celebrates Their Title Victory. The show kicked off with the now 8th time WWE tag team champions, The New Day and like the title above, they were celebrating their big title win last week (No sh*t, Omar).  During the segment, Kofi mentioned that there's nothing wrong with pointing out that they have more title reigns than The Hart Foundation, Edge and Christian, Demolition, The New Age Outlaws etc because it's them being proud of their accomplishments.  Out came Lucha House Party, The Miz and John Morrison and they pretty much said that they deserve a title shot. The Forgotten Sons showed up to tell The New Day, Lucha House Party and every other tag team watching that they will never be forgotten.  They lived up to that statement as the Forgotten Sons destroyed Lucha House Party and The New Day.  ...

WWE RAW 28/12/20 | A Bit Late Coherent Review.

Before I start this review, I wanna say rest in peace to Jon Huber better known as the person behind the character of Luke Harper and Brodie Lee.  It was a tough, painful 3 days for the pro wrestling industry and I certainly felt that.  If there's one thing I've learned from the number of great stories being told by the people he has worked with is that Jon is a charming, funny and overall a fantastic human being that loves his family.  After reading the countless amount of fantastic tribute posts (including from the likes of Molly Belle of Wrestle Inn and Andrew Thompson of Post Wrestling ), that bit about Jon as a family man made me think of my current relationship with my father and the ways I'm trying to improve from my standpoint.  I know this is a cheese pizza saying but tell the people you cared about that you love 'em because that line might make their day.  So. Thank you, Jon Huber, for being the light that brightens everybody's darkness.  Now, Ho...

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...
