WWE RAW 30/8/21 | A Coherent Review.

Monday Night RAW this week didn't hurt my brain cells (except Nia Jax's wrestling skills which are as consistent as any Rob Schneider comedy).

Damian Priest Was Like, "I'll Have An Open Challenge, Please?" 


And then, it turned out to be a "wrestlers stated their case as to why they should be a contender" cliche starring Sheamus, Drew McIntyre, Bobby Lashley and the team of RKBro. 

To which Adam Pearce and Sonya Deville were like, "how about Damian Priest defending his belt against Drew McIntyre and Sheamus while RKBRO faces the team of MVP and Bobby Lashley". 

Cliche aside, the opening scene did a great job of showing a huge importance to the United States Championship which is something that I've been wanting for quite some time. 

Rhea Ripley vs Shayna Baszler. 


Remember when both of these competitors main evented an episode of NXT? Good times. 

Ripley wins with an inside cradle which led to Nia Jax attacking the winner of the match. 

Me saying "attacking" when describing the post-match beatdown isn't doing the scene justice. 

Side note, Shayna isn't allowed to just win a match with ease. 

The Viking Raiders vs Jinder Mahal And Veer. 

The Viking Raiders won with the Viking Experience. Cool. 

Damian Priest vs Drew McIntyre vs Sheamus For The United States Championship. 


Aka the exact opposite of Viking Raiders vs Jinder and Veer. 

This match ruled like Doctor Doom Latveria. Priest retained the title with the reckoning to Drew McIntyre. 


R Truth and Akira Tozawa have failed in capturing the 24/7 championship from Reggie. The funniest part about all of this is when Reggie jumped through the fence, Truth was like, "why are you jumping over gates bruh? It got a handle on it." 

I still think that the belt should be retired though. 

Doudrop vs Eva Marie. 

The match hasn't started because Doudrop attacked Marie during her entrance. 

More of this? No, please. 

Karrion Kross vs Humberto Carrillo. 

Kross may look like a $1 tier Spartacus but he's at least winning matches, right? 

Charlotte Flair vs Nia Jax. 


The "Vinnie Ross shoot, shoot cowboy" esque feel, lacked a sense of direction which is what makes the entire encounter an uncomfortable mess to witness as a fan. 

Jax defeated Flair with a powerbomb of some sort. 


Johnny lost to Omos in a match (in other words, Flo Rida's song "whistle" was about blowjobs) while his partner in crime, AJ Styles also picked up the victory against Xavier Woods. 

Bobby Lashley And MVP vs RKBRO. 


The shenanigans from AJ Styles And Omos on the outside, did not stop Riddle from pinning MVP to win this tag team exhibition.

Riddle ate a spear from Bobby Lashley however, Lashley took an RKO from outta nowhere (never gets old seeing bold Pedro Pas…. I mean, Randy Orton executing an RKO from out of nowhere). 

Overall, I thought the match was good besides Styles and Omos' role in the match.

So, to recap for all of you slow mofos. 

Like: The opening segment, Damian Priest vs Sheamus vs Drew McIntyre, Randy Orton And Riddle vs Bobby Lashley and MVP.  

Didn't like: Whatever the hell happened in the Charlotte Flair and Nia Jax bout.

WWE Eyeing On New Creative Writers.

Last week on RAW, The McMahon family announced that there will be new faces and fresh match ups. What better way to invoke change than to seek out new writers with different ideas right?  WWE are actively seeking for new writer's assistant positions with at least two years in writing television and or/ production experience and preferably but not necessary, a degree in Film/TV/Drama, Media Studies, Journalism, Communications, English, or related field of study.  For everyone who thinks they can do it better, here's your opportunity. Merry Christmas! https://t.co/FJch1rOXCM — Jimmy Korderas (@jimmykorderas) December 24, 2018 What do I think of this? As long as Vince is in charge, unfortunately, nothing is going to change for the better of the product but that's just me.  Let me know in the comments on how you would change the WWE product and follow the blog for honest pro wrestling opinions. Anyways, stay safe smarks. 

NXT Takeover: Vengeance Day | A Coherent Review.

I've been really disappointed with recent Takeovers as of late but their latest one wowed me. I thought this show brought back the spark of the old Takeovers shows that I love.  Vengeance Day, in my opinion, is in the top 5 best Takeovers ever produced.  That's how much I enjoyed it.   Images via WWE.com Shotzi Blackheart And Ember Moon vs Dakota Kai And Raquel Gonzalez. Dusty Rhodes Tag Team Classic Tournament Finals.  Throughout the match, the babyface team were aiming at Dakota Kai's knee which is smart because one, Kai's kicks are her greatest strength and two, she suffered a torn ACL.  Shotzi took some nasty offensives like the powerbomb from Raquel that had Shotzi land onto the barricade.  Speaking of Raquel Gonzalez, she was the star of the match.  She legit showed some impressive grapples and strikes.  Because of her, she and Dakota Kai won the entire tournament and will go on to face Shayna Baszler and Nia Jax for the women's tag team championship.  Can Dak

WWE RAW 13/9/21 | A Coherent Review.

Ya boy took a week off of talking about wrestling which is something I usually need after watching a single episode of Monday Night RAW but consistency is key, people!  In recent weeks, however, Monday Night RAW doesn't feel like mental torture and the latest episode is no exception.  Images via WWE.com Big E Was Like, "I'm Definitely Cashing In My Contract".  The lovable wholesome gyrating big man name Big E interacted with Randy Orton as well as Bobby Lashley ahead of the WWE title match between Bob and Randal.  The reason is obvious. Big E wants to cash in seeing Becky Lynch's mother again (that's not it?).  All lame jokes aside, the big man did cash in the contract to become the NEW WWE champion later in the episode after a successful title defence from Bobby Lashley against Randy Orton.  Words cannot describe how f**king happy I am seeing one of my favourite performers finally capture the gold which was long overdue if you ask me.  I will go as far as to
