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 21/1/22 | A Coherent Review.

  Another week, another time Pat McAfee shows me why he's better than Corey Graves. Both in the ring AND on the commentary table.  As far as how I feel about this week's episode, it ain't good, people. It ain't good.  An Image via WWE.com   Sethy Mane Wanted A Tag Partner So….………. That he faces The Usos later in the show and if drippy Jesus wins, 2 out of 3 members of the Bloodline are barred off ringside in the blue title encounter (in case you were wondering, Kevin Owens was Seth's tag partner).  BUTTTTTTTTTTTT! The tribal chief had other ideas. He proposed a pitch where if the "burn it down" man loses the tag match, the Rumble match is gone, FINITO!  Bully Ray probably saw Seth Rollins' uttering Jox Moxley's name and reacted, "HOW DARE YOU!! BLASPHEMY!"  Fortunately for SR The Drip Mane, he got what he wanted via a DQ finish thanks to a superman punch from Roman Reigns. While the ending did protect the tag champs, the consequences of i...

A Few Thoughts On RAW And Smackdown: RAW wasn't GREAT!?

  Since this blog will be less of a priority now considering I'm focusing on my podcast now (hit the 5 stars on Apple Podcast you sons of b*tches), I decided to share my few thoughts on RAW, Smackdown, I guess?  Smackdown.  The blue brand delivered yet another good episode this week and it's probably due to the fact that Braun Strowman taking out the Maximum Model is high-key funny as f**k.  The folks over at Titan Towers are bringing back the essence of their characters whether it's Kevin Owens, Shayna Baszler or in this case, Big Braun himself.   As a fan, you gotta love it, especially since in the case of Strowman, the dude hasn't been the same since he turned heel 4 years ago when feuding with Roman Reigns for the universal title.   Other noteworthy segments include Logan Paul challenging Roman Reigns for the big world universal multiverse galactic cinematic championship.  Imagine they pulled that match off 7 years ago back when Logan was on V...

WWE Smackdown 17/7/20 | A Coherent Review.

This recent instalment of Smackdown was decent.  The women, for the most part, was the standout in this program and it honestly carried the show from a meh to a decent watch.  The show started off with Jeff Hardy and Sheamus talking about the upcoming bar fight which you can scroll down to read my thoughts on it.  Sasha Banks and Bayley Gives Us A New Perspective Of The Word "Greatness".  The so-called "golden role models" were praising their greatness to which Nikki Cross was furious about the way she lost at Extreme Rules.  So, Nikki wanted a rematch for the SmackDown women's championship and Bayley accepted that bout if Nikki faces her best friend, Alexa Bliss to determine the number one contender.  That match started immediately after this segment and it was a good opener.  Bayley and Sasha Banks were entertaining in the commentary as per usual.  When Corey Graves brought the fact that Bayley didn't want t...
