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 Wrestlemania: Backlash 2021 | A Coherent Review.

Wrestlemania: Backlash or as I like to call it, Backlashimania, gets an enthusiastic thumbs up for me. I enjoyed the hell out of this PPV overall. Images via WWE.com The opening intro was narrated by the greatest of all time, Batista and it was straight badass despite the fact it was pretty much a promotion for Zack Snyder's new film, Army Of The Dead. If you've read my about page, then you'll know that I ain't talking about Zack Snyder movies because his fans are…… never mind. Rhea Ripley vs Charlotte Flair vs Asuka For The RAW Women's Championship. Charlotte with the Cruella De Vil inspired ring gear was to quote Dolph Ziggler's old theme song, "perfection". The opening bout was fast-paced, high octane action that didn't have a slow/dull moment. All of these women utilized quick grapples and strikes to their advantage. Charlotte was this close to capturing the title but she was pushed to the outside, nailed the riptide to Asuka and that...

WWE NXT 2.0 16/11/21 | A Coherent Review.

I haven't reviewed NXT in two weeks and holy crap, I didn't miss much at all. This week's show was BO. RING and I'm trying to make this interesting by adding my lame a** humour and you know you f'd up when I have to rely on my jokes to make this week's NXT discussion somewhat engaging. Images via WWE.com Tony D'Angelo vs Dexter Lumis. The scary white man vs The spicy white man. WHO WILL SURVIVE!? The answer is my favourite POC wrestler currently, Tony D'Angelo (that joke will never get old). Johnny Gargano came to check on Dexter Lumis after Camelo Hayes and Trick Williams destroyed Lumis' hand. Minutes later, all three guys in Dunne, Gargano and Hayes announced a triple threat match for the North American championship. Should be a good match, is all I'm going to say about that. Odyssey Jones And Jacket Time vs The Diamond Mine. First off, Jacket time isn't a good tag team name. It sounds like me as a 5-year-old after wearing ...

WWE Smackdown 11/9/20 | A Coherent Review.

Smackdown is decent this week. But, I will say, they (Smackdown) have been by far the interesting show going into Clash Of Champions, unlike Monday Night RAW. pictures via WWE.com Roman Reigns' Wrecking Everyone Is Paul Heyman's Spoiler (no sh*t, Omar). Heyman started the show saying that Roman Reigns accomplished his goal to not only beat up people but as well as taking the championship that Reigns never lost. Heyman called out Jey Uso and Uso brought up the history between Jey's family and Paul Heyman. The history he was referring to was the fact that Paul Heyman managed The Usos' father, Rikishi back when Rikishi was part of the Head Skrinkers aka The Samoan Swat Team. King Corbin and Sheamus came out pretty much talking smack (see what just I did there?) about Jey Uso as number one contender. Uce then challenged the bad guys to a tag team match against himself and the big dog later in the night. T...
