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.

My Coherent Predictions On: Money In The Bank 2018

Money in the bank has THE WORST buildup of 2018 so far (at least on the RAW side). Is it going to be worst than RAW this past few weeks or possibly backlash?  Will find out this Sunday but anyways on with the predictions Sami Zayn vs Bobby Lashley What can I say about this feud? ● No meaning behind it. ● No meaning behind it. ● And why's Bobby Lashley promo last night sounds like bubbles from powerpuff  or something? Nevertheless, It's a shame that both lashley and zayn are given a shitstorm of a storyline considering that their better than this. WINNER : Bobby Lashley. Bludgeon Brothers vs Luke Gallows And Karl Anderson WOW! Another match I don't give two fucks about. However if they want to make the show intriguing and unpredictable then I'll put the belts on....   WINNER: Gallows and Anderson. Big Cass vs Daniel Bryan. WWE made the right call in my opinion on moving big Cass to smackdown because he...

The 5 News Week: An Interview With ROH's Eli Isom, Fans Singing Petitions For Charlotte Flair Not Winning Titles Anymore!?

Hello, my fellow wrestling fans and welcome to the 5 news week. The post where I report 5 major or minor news of the week that I don't have time to do it separately. Without further ado, here are the 5 news week. An Interview With ROH's Eli Isom.  Yes. After several and several and several of The 5 News Week articles that I've been putting out since late 2018, I finally got an interview for you guys.  The person in question is Ring Of Honour's Eli Isom. Since graduating from the ROH Dojo, Isom has worked and learned from the absolute best in the industry:  "I’m lucky that I got a chance to train from scratch with ROH, without that kind of training who knows where I’d be right now." So, without further ado, here is the conversation I had with Eli.  Omar: My first question is, how would you describe the persona of "Eli Isom" to resident WWE shills like myself? Eli Isom: For me, my wrestling persona isn’t too far off from who I real...

WWE Elimination Chamber 2019 | My Coherent Review.

Overall, this is the best WWE main roster PPV of the year with some bad booking decisions and here's why. By the way, I can't talk about the preshow match because I haven't seen it.  Sasha Banks and Bayley vs Nia Jax and Tamina vs The Riott Squad vs Naomi and Carmella vs Fire and Desire vs The IIconics. Elimination Chamber match for the WWE Women's Tag Team Championship.  This was a good match. The IIconics eliminated the team of Naomi and Carmella with a double roll up pin by the IIconics to Naomi.  The Iconics then got eliminated by Nia Jax and Tamina with a double Samoan drop and eliminated The Riott Squad with a top rope Samoan Drop from Nia Jax to Liv Morgan and a Samoan Splash from Tamina to Sarah Logan.  Nia Jax and Tamina were eliminated by Sasha banks and Bayley with an elbow drop to Tamina.  The match ended with Sasha used her thigh instead of her arm to apply the bank statement to Sonya Deville and just like that, the boss n’ hug connect...
