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 Smackdown Live 3/9/19 | My Coherent Review.

A pretty decent Smackdown Live episode considering that Smackdown Live has been RAW 2018: blue edition in recent weeks so I'm surprised that the episode was not terrible.  Bayley And Sasha Are Tired Of Being Humble. Well, Sasha Banks Is But Not Bayley Yet.  Bayley came out smiling as if nothing happened with some mixed reactions from the crowd. Bayley apparently doesn't get it because she's been humble with her best friend and she basically states that she's not the bad guy and never will be the bad guy (will see about that).  After Bayley talks about how Charlotte is selfish, out came the queen and she says that Charlotte is the queen of selfishness with no hugging but Sasha Banks came out before the queen was going to say about what she's going to do at Clash Of Champions.  Charlotte kicks the Smackdown women's champion and Sasha brawled with Charlotte which led to Bayley hitting Flair with a series of chair shots before Banks got her turn. ...

WWE RAW 16/8/21 | A Coherent Review.

Another week, another L for the red brand in terms of overall quality. And they do not need that L considering that it's the final show before this year's SummerSlam event.  Images via WWE.com   Randal Keith Orton And Riddal Are Back Together?  Randy explained his actions last week, stating that he simply doesn't owe anyone an explanation because he's Randy Orton (okay?).  Out came the most obnoxious person in Riddle and he wanted RKBRO to reunite. Styles showed up to hype up his big goof in Omos.  That RKO last week was as confusing as the thought of Jupiter Ascending being a "good movie".    The question is, did the band realigned themselves once again?  The answer was a soft no if you stopped watching the show after the Riddle and AJ Styles match (I don't blame ANYONE that stops watching Monday Night RAW).  However, that became a solid yes after Randy's bout with Omos. Am I the only one that feels kinda mid about this?  It's not terri...

The 5 News Week: Everything YOU Need To Know About Adam Cole’s Status In WWE.

Hello, my fellow wrestling fans and welcome to the 5 news week. The post where I report 5 major or minor pro wrestling news, rumours and spoilers of the week that I don't have time to do it separately.  Without further ado, here are the 5 news week.  Some images via wwe.com Everything YOU Need To Know About Adam Cole’s Status In WWE.  By the time this article hits the interwebs, this piece of news will be outdated as f**k because SO many reports have been released left, right and centre regarding Adam Cole's status in world wrestling entertainment (yea, no sh*t, a**hole).  So, Let's summarize this bad boy. Adam Cole's contract expired after the 2021 edition of NXT's Great American Bash show this past July and agreed to extend his contract till Summerslam (from Wrestling Inc ).  Dave Meltzer of "I should think before I say something", has heard that Cole was offered a contract from "the best brand for white guys with wrestling podcasts", AEW while...
