WWE RAW 23/8/21 | A Coherent Review.

Monday Night RAW yesterday didn't piss me off so that's nice, I guess. 

Images via WWE.com 

Bobby Lashley Confronted By Damian Priest. 


Damian Priest was like, "You're a coward for relentlessly damaging Goldberg's arm and I want to challenge you for a match" and a pissed off Bobby Lashley accepted the offer. 

My thoughts after watching the segment  was, "Damian's losing clean, right?" 

Well, I was wrong. The match ended via a DQ due to an attack from Sheamus aka the man that was once called "the great white". 

Priest got some help from Drew McIntyre. With McIntyre, Sheamus and Bobby Lashley being in the same segment, it's almost like a blast from the past if you're a zoomer that thinks 6 months ago is like 10 years ago (moi). 

Of course, a tag team match happened and the babyfaces won the encounter with the claymore to Sheamus. I wasn't offended watching all of this unfold and I feel like that's asking too much from WWE creative. 


Doudrop wanted to keep the name (sigh) and she took a beating from Eva Marie. Why WWE? Is the name "Piper Niven" too scary for you like f**king Beetlejuice? 

Karrion Kross vs Ricochet. 


Kross' new entrance gear is one big WTF. The dude looks like he has a fetish for being tortured.  

Kross wins with the sleeper hold. 


24/7 championship shenanigans happened near an ice cream truck between Reggie, Akira Tozawa and R Truth. Retire the belt, already! 

Moist TV. Special Guest, Logan Paul. 


Logan Paul got so much heel heat, MJF would be jealous. 

Mizzie interrupts Morrison's talk and is bothered with the way Johnny Drip Drip presented him. Further teasing the turn. 

Well, the teasing is no more! Miz's loss to Xavier Woods, led to a beating to Morrison and after the segment had aired, Johnny wanted that son of a gun out.

I had to make sure this isn't a 2011 episode of Monday Night RAW.

All jokes aside, It's nice to see a no BS side from John Morrison. I feel like the way his comedy was presented is a bit too much. 

In other words, I actually like the turn from Miz. It's almost as if both guys benefit from being apart than together, ya know what I'm saying? 

Mansoor vs Jinder Mahal. 


Jinder Mahal's constant stomp on Mansoor is what led to the match ending in a disqualification. 

Mustafa Ali told Mansoor that either Ali does it Mansoor's way or Ali's way! 

I've been liking this "tough love" character and the "hopeful" dynamic from this team for weeks now. This tag-team has excellent chemistry thanks to its mixing of both opposite character traits. 

Charlotte Flair Was Like, "I've Won More Major Titles Than The English Team, Arsenal". 

I know she didn't say that but that statement is pure facts, unfortunately. 

Charlotte Flair was glowing about herself because she's s heel. 

Until, she got a verbal message from "there'll be carnage but also smiley faces" Alexa Bliss alongside her doll, Lily. A doll so ugly, Connor from the TV show, Angel, finds it adorable. 

Get ready, people. The goofy voodoo sh*t is in the title picture and I couldn't care less about it. 


More vague vignettes from Elias have aired and I'm curious to see how "the new Elias" is being presented on TV. 

Rhea Ripley And Nikki A.S.H vs Nia Jax And Shayna Baszler. 


Am I insane or did I remember that Jax and Baszler split up as a duo? 

The good guys win here with the riptide on Shayna Baszler. 

Riddle vs AJ Styles.


Before this match took place, Riddal gave Randy a scooter. Meh. 

The match itself was decent. Riddle prevailed with the broderick. 

It's cool to see the tag team champions or the tag team championship being in the main event scene of the episode even though I'm not a fan of the whole "RKBRO" act. 

So, to recap for all of you slow mofos. 

Like: Miz's turn on John Morrison, the RAW tag team title scene main evented an episode.  

Didn't like: "Torture fetish" Karrion Kross.

WWE NXT 2.0 14/9/21 | A Coherent Review.

NXT 2.0 or as I like to call it, NXT "I'M DIFFERENT" edition.  Let's get the positives out of the way. I like the set and the way it compliments NXT's new water multicolour look. In a world with main roster WWE and its giant screen, the presentation definitely stood out.  The entrance stage set also gave me a bit of a Wrestlemania 27 vibes and because of it, I'm always going to remind myself of that dogsh*t of a PPV so that's definitely a negative.  The main question is, Was the inaugural episode of NXT "third times the charm" edition any good?  Yes. The main thing NXT did right is how they showcase some of the newer faces on the brand.  There were a few head-scratching moments but as a whole, I enjoyed the episode.  Images via WWE.com Bron Breakker vs LA Knight.  We all know that Bron Breakker is an awful name (Bronson Rechsteiner was perfectly fine) but my God, that dude has the LOOK!   I mean, if I had to choose to rebrand myself in WWE, I...

WWE Clash Of Champions 2019 | My Coherent Review.

This Clash of Champions show was one enormous meh. Also, AJ Styles in the pre-show? That's a first but that match was pretty decent as well as the cruiserweight championship match.  Seth Rollins And Braun Strowman vs Dolph Ziggler And Robert Roode For The RAW Tag team Championship.  During this tag team title match, Ziggler hits a devastating looking DDT to Seth Rollins outside the ring. The odd couple then delivered quick tag team moves but moments later Rollins reversed Ziggler's sleeper hold into a falcon arrow to which Rollins tagged Braun Strowman and took out Ziggler and Roode for a bit.  This match has ended with a Glorious DDT from Robert Roode to Seth Rollins after Braun accidentally knocked out Rollins and Ziggler threw the monster among men over the top rope.  A decent opener with a predictable ending that I don't mind. Maybe a triple threat match between the odd couple, The Viking Raiders and The O.C in Gallows and Anderson for the tag ...

RUMOUR: Dolph Ziggler Done With WWE?

Holy crap, so many reports of wrestlers possibly leaving WWE. Anyways, according to Mike Johnson over at PWInsider , the show off is done with WWE. He, by the way, was given a producer role but turned down that offer and also wasn't at WWE's live events in recent weeks. Ziggler is expected to be on a comedy tour soon and his sources claim that Dolph's contract expires on 31/1.   What do I think of this? I feel like he's done pretty much everything with WWE and if this is official, I wouldn't be mad about it.  What do you guys think of this?
