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 RAW 28/12/20 | A Bit Late Coherent Review.

Before I start this review, I wanna say rest in peace to Jon Huber better known as the person behind the character of Luke Harper and Brodie Lee. It was a tough, painful 3 days for the pro wrestling industry and I certainly felt that. If there's one thing I've learned from the number of great stories being told by the people he has worked with is that Jon is a charming, funny and overall a fantastic human being that loves his family. After reading the countless amount of fantastic tribute posts (including from the likes of Molly Belle of Wrestle Inn and Andrew Thompson of Post Wrestling ), that bit about Jon as a family man made me think of my current relationship with my father and the ways I'm trying to improve from my standpoint. I know this is a cheese pizza saying but tell the people you cared about that you love 'em because that line might make their day. So. Thank you, Jon Huber, for being the light that brightens everybody's darkness. Now, Ho...

WWE Smackdown Live 30/10/18 | My Coherent Review.

Smackdown Live yesterday was a skippable show other than the opening segment and match in my opinion. Now usually on my RAW/Smackdown Live review, I break down what's good, what's ok and what's bad. For the first time, I'm only gonna tell you what's ok given that this show was again a skippable show and here we go. WHAT'S OK The opening segment This is the probably one of if not most noteworthy moment this week mainly because as you might know, there were reports going around that John Cena and Daniel Bryan were out of Crown Jewel and the reports are indeed true and it makes sense, especially for John Cena considering that he's an actor now and he needs to maintain his PR status. The segment itself was decent. Loved both guys' intensity and that segment leads to a WWE championship match and speaking of which............. Daniel Bryan vs AJ Styles Decent match. Expected a better from these two but again, decent nevertheless but...

THE Coherent AEW Take: YOU KNOW IT'S ALL ABOUT THE BOOM!

I was about to talk about this week's AEW line of shows, were as mid as any Flo Rida song but then…………..YOU KNOW IT'S ALL ABOUT THE BOOM! The Elite brand's flagship show literally made the save like the "babyface shows up to rescue their partner from a brawl" cliche. Rampage. Highlights. Well, there is none as this week's show was pretty darn skippable. It was "multi-person matches with babyfaces making the save post-match". Some Other Things That Happened. Dan Lambert continues to be as annoying as an anti-smark on Reddit - This is the only time where I'm cheering for the white saviour, Cody Rhodes. Oh, and Sammy Guevara made the save for Rhodes against Lambert and his lackeys. The Elite guys lost to Orange Cassidy, Best Friends And Rocky Romero - That brainbuster into a double superkick from Cole and the Young Bucks was cool. Tay Conti defeated Penelope Ford - Could've lasted a tiny bit longer but it was a decent encounter....
