WWE RAW 31/5/21 | A Coherent Review.

I was recently reading my RAW reviews from 2019 and the thing that is common in all of those reviews was that while I had some issues with those episodes, the shows were decent as a whole. 

2021, however, is, of course, a different story. Ever since the fall of last year, I've been consistently getting terrible episode after terrible episode that is giving SNL a run for its money. 

At this point, criticizing Monday Night RAW is a God damn routine.

The Miz TV. Special Guest, Charlotte Flair. 

As told by the headline above, the show opened with Miz TV. A segment that literally nobody looks forward to.  

You had John Morrison legit wearing a necklace that is covered in garlic for protecting himself from any supernatural thing appearing which was PEAK CRINGE. 

Charlotte Flair stated that she'll send Rhea Ripley to hell in 3 weeks (by the way, this is still a weird decision to move the Hell In A Cell show in the summer but whatever). 

Out came Rhea Ripley and she delivered the greatest comeback ever quote, "you're gonna send me to hell? You can go to hell, that's for sure". 

WOAWWWWW! A comeback so vicious, it made B-Rabbit blush. 

Nikki Cross shows up and she challenged Charlotte Flair to a match that happened moments after this mediocre of a segment happened

And guess who won that match (which had a "beat the clock" stipulation)? Nikki Cross. Cross outlasted Charlotte Flair throughout the entire run time. 

Having Flair lose a series of matches going into a championship bout, to put it simply, is a F**KING IDIOTIC DECISION point-blank.

Xavier Woods vs Randy Orton. 

Shout out to Xavier Woods for the gold ranger attire from the Mighty Morphin Power Rangers. 

Randy Orton, however, is rocking a George Michael moustache. An okay match. Orton is victorious with Broderick. 

Reggie vs Shayna Baszler. 

This booking decision of Shayna Baszler losing this match so bad, I had to call Reggie Reginald because I ain't joking here. 

The joke is on me for watching a  f**king insufferable TV show. This is the closest thing to self-harm for me. 

Shayna stormed into Alexa Bliss' Playground because of the weird f**king sh*t that was responsible for Shayna Baszler's losing match efforts. 

Baszler wanted "a chat" with Bliss next week and boy, I couldn't care any less. 

Lucha House Party vs Mace And T-Bar.  

Yes, people. We're supposed to forget that Mace was Dio Madden (you know,  THE SAME F**KING GUY THAT DID COMMENTARY FOR THIS VERY SHOW 2 YEAR BACK?)

The bad guys win. Freaking awesome! (Sarcasm). 

Sheamus vs Ricochet. 

Before the match, Sheamus cut the most Irish a** promo I've ever witnessed (translation, I couldn't understand half of the things he said in that promo). 

The match was decent for what it was. The ending saw Sheamus losing via, of course, distraction. 

Sheamus then faced Humberto Carrillo UGHGAN and guess what? That white dude lost via a F**KING DISTRACTION FINISH. Who writes this sh*t, bruh? 


Based on the latest vignette from Eva Marie, it looks like she's going to be a manager of some sort based on that particular line, "And not only will I be a voice for myself. But, I'm here to be a voice for the superstars in WWE." 

The woman isn't a great talker but it's an improvement over here actually going to wrestle ya know. 

Naomi And Lana vs Mandy Rose And Dana Brooke. 

The blondes win. Cool. 

AJ Styles And Omos vs Elias And Jaxson Ryker. 

Why? Why? WHYEEEEEE? Elias betrayed his own partner in Jaxson Ryker  (great decision, by the way). 

Remember my wrestling comrades, this is a real TV that is written by real people. 

Cedric Alexander vs Shelton Benjamin. 

Yet another match between those two men. 

And unlike the previous matches, it lasted for a short amount of time as Cedric put his thumb on Shelton's eye which led to a quick pinfall victory (I hate being that guy but you know, Charlotte Flair could've done that in her match earlier). 


Mustafa Ali gave Mansoor a piece of advice in that Mansion shouldn't trust anyone. This was the only thing about the show that got me intrigued by a potential feud/partnership between Mansoor and Mustafa Ali. 

Bobby Lashley and MVP were celebrating in a private VIP room because winning cures everything I guess. 

Kofi Kingston vs Drew McIntyre. Winner Faces Bobby Lashley For The WWE Championship At Hell In A Cell. 

That finish with Drew hitting the claymore from mid-air to win the match, was freaking amazing. A definite highlight. 

So, to recap for all of you slow mofos. 

Like: I guess Xavier Woods' attire, the finish of the Drew McIntyre and Kofi Kingston match. 

Didn't like: Pretty much everything.

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 Smackdown Live 30/10/18 | My Coherent Review.

Smackdown Live yesterday was a skippable show other than the opening segment and match in my opinion. Now usually on my RAW/Smackdown Live review, I break down what's good, what's ok and what's bad. For the first time, I'm only gonna tell you what's ok given that this show was again a skippable show and here we go.  WHAT'S OK The opening segment  This is the probably one of if not most noteworthy moment this week mainly because as you might know, there were reports going around that John Cena and Daniel Bryan were out of Crown Jewel and the reports are indeed true and it makes sense, especially for John Cena considering that he's an actor now and he needs to maintain his PR status. The segment itself was decent. Loved both guys' intensity and that segment leads to a WWE championship match and speaking of which............. Daniel Bryan vs AJ Styles  Decent match. Expected a better from these two but again, decent nevertheless but...
