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

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

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 Smackdown Live 28/8/18 | My Coherent Review.

Overall, Smackdown Live was better than RAW in terms of having a somewhat good ending. Why you ask? Well, I'm gonna give you what's good, what's ok and the bad parts about this show were none in my opinion. Without further ado, this is my coherent, honest review of this week's Smackdown Live.  WHAT'S GOOD    New day's celebration  You have the new day celebration with their interaction with booker T and the addition of the spinaroonie or the spinaroonie, in this case, was entertaining and an odd but amusing opening segment.  Daniel Bryan vs Andrade "Cien" almas   Daniel Bryan's promo with Brie Bella by his side was like the Naomi vs Billie Kay match, it was there. However, the match itself was pretty good in my opinion. That chop by almas looked brutal bro like damn. Daniel Bryan wins Via DQ by miz beating him, almas hitting the hammerlock DDT, Maryse hitting a brutal looking DDT to brie bella and then miz hitting the skull cru

WWE Smackdown 14/2/20 | My Coherent Review.

Last night was my 2nd anniversary of pumping out written content on this site and I thought since this show has delivered 6 or sometimes 3 out of 10s for 4 months now, I've written some lyrics about my thoughts on Smackdown in the style of the current song opening for the blue brand.  If you wanna put the instrumental version of ACDC's Are You Ready while reading this then that's cool too.  *Cue the intro* Are you Ready?  Are you ready for mediocrity! Then, get ready for disappointment.  No one needs it.  No one needs it.  No one needs it.   Even Bischoff.  Are you ready for mediocrity! *ends with some guitar solos*.  The lyrics may suck but it is at least better than whatever the hell Justin Bieber meant when he sang his current single "Yummy".  Now, on with the review. The Return Of A Moment Of Bliss (Unlike The Return Of The Dirt Sheets, Nobody Really Cares).  Both Bliss and Nikki Cross talked about their c

WWE RAW 6/7/20 | A Coherent Review.

This episode of RAW actually made me look forward to Extreme Rules and that's something WWE doesn't do all that well in recent years. It was a great effort by the powers that be.  Dolph Ziggler Picks The Stipulation For The WWE Championship At Extreme Rules: The Horror Show.  McIntyre is waiting for Dolph Ziggler to pick the stipulation for their championship match at Extreme Rules.  Drew got his wish as Dolph Ziggler said that Drew has been stabbing people in the back and that includes the person that Ziggler brought up but not verbally, Heath Slater.  In a very emotional promo, Slater told his former 3MB mate that he was there for Drew McIntyre when Drew was fired from WWE in 2014 but the Scotsmen wasn't there for Slater when he was fired this year.  So, the one-man-band challenged him to a match and the WWE champion accepted. How was the match?  It was a squash bout. Drew wins with the claymore to which Ziggler was picking on Heath and Mc
