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.

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 say that it's one of the best moments in Monday Night RAW's long history. 

I rarely look at Twitter before I review a show but seeing the overwhelming support this man got (so huge in fact that WWE's Twitter handle was changed to "BIG E IS WWE CHAMPION") shows me that Big E should be known as one thing, a f**king Chad. 

Charlotte Flair vs Shayna Baszler. 


WWE will not allow Shayna Baszler to just not catch Ws. This woman is if Arsenal was a person. 

After Charlotte Flair's victory, the RAW women's champion was given a gift by Alexa Bliss which was a Lily doll Charlotte Flair edition. 

The scene ended with a bit of a brawl between those two women.

Cool. 

Drew McIntyre And Viking Raiders vs Jinder Mahal, Veer And Shanky. 

The match was fine for what it was. The babyface team prevailed in the end. 


Drake Maverick told R Truth and Akira Tozawa that their plan on taking the 24/7 championship wasn't executed properly. 


For The first time in like 2 years, I'm actually intrigued by what they're going to do next as pertaining to the 24/7 title scene and the main factor being that the scenes with Drake Maverick were the highlight of the title's short history. 

Damian Priest vs Jeff Hardy For The United States Championship. 


The open invitational for the US champion continues from the former Punishment Martinez and I'm loving every second of it. 

Damian is really portrayed as something special which is sorely missing for a minute with the US and the IC title. 

Priest retained the title with the reckoning to which the guy got a reckoning of his own in relentless kicks and punches. 

Nikki A.S.H vs Tamina. 

The red brand loves the "odd tag team" arc and I think it especially fits in the case of Nikki A.S.H and Rhea Ripley. It's a cliche but it's a cliche that works. 

I can't tell whether the match ended in a DQ or not because Natalya delivered an Irish whip followed by a slam from Tamina onto Nikki A.S.H. 


Speaking of Rhea Ripley and Natalya, they had a decent match following that encounter. 

Ripley won the match with the cloverleaf which is the coolest submission move ever. 

Doudrop vs Eva Marie. 

I was hoping for disaster because I'm a troll but I didn't hate this match as much as I should given who's involved in the bout itself. 

Doudrop picked up the W with a splash. Can this woman get her name back, please? 

The New Day, Mansoor And Mustafa Ali vs AJ Styles, Omos, T-Bar and Mace. 


Omos led his team to victory with the double chokeslam so impactful that it made Great Khali jealous. 


And the final segment before the Big E-cash in, was a promo by Karrion Kross filmed in a dark backstage area. My man was like, "Aleister Black, this is for you". 

So, to recap for all of you slow mofos. 

Like: FEEL THE POWEEEEEEEEER! Damian Priest' US open challenge, Drake Maverick, is actually making the 24/7 championship scene a little interesting. 

Didn't like: Shayna taking pins like it's skittles.

WWE Wrestlemania 26 | A Coherent Review.

I've teased a mystery review on my Facebook page (which you can click here to follow us) and that mystery has now been unveiled. It's Wrestlemania 26. This review was delayed and was supposed to be up last Monday but at least is now up. Also, The first draft of this review was 7 pages long so strap in. By far, the longest review on this very website.  I thought it would be fitting to review a Wrestlemania from a decade back and how do I feel about it? It was a show that if you watched it, you're most likely going to have a good time. It was a mix of great things but terrible things at the same time as most shows.  The 26th edition of Wrestlemania took place in the University of Phoenix Stadium in the Phoenix suburb of Glendale, Arizona on March 28th, 2010.  The commentators were Micheal Cole, Jerry Lawler and Matt Striker. Honestly, Striker was pretty good and a far better colour commentator than Lawler was on this show (even today, Lawler is still bleh on commen...

WrestleFest DXB's Fahrenheit 971 | A Coherent W.

  Being a fan of pro wrestling (or any other medium of entertainment) does have its pros and cons when engaging with the industry as a whole.  On one hand, you've witnessed an Eddie Kingston promo that'll make you tear up more than the opening scene of Up.  On the other hand, going to the wrestling subreddit will definitely have you questioning humanity as a whole and the fact that living in an area where a wrestling presence pretty much doesn't exist like a Vince Russo-written storyline that is, you know, GOOD!?  Luckily, the latter retracted my con as a fan because I'm talking about Wrestlefest DXB and their latest joint, "971 Fahrenheit".  Martin Bushby of now Post Wrestling Alumni brought the event to my attention because like a wrestler on an episode of RAW I get distracted all the time.  So, I decided to take a short journey to a taxi then a bus then a train then a 30-minute walk to the show itself and I know I'm going to sound biased as f**k but I l...

The 5 News Week: WWE Backstage. Cancelled Or Nah?, Liv Morgan's Re-Debut Was Supposed To Be Different!?

I'm back on my BS because it's The 5 News Week where I report on the 5 major or minor news of the week hence the name "T he 5 News Week".  Sorry for the week of absence. I took a week off of social media (except YouTube) due to the sadness I felt when reading those brave women and men tell their stories about the awful, terrible experiences they've had after their interactions with notable people in the industry.  It made me question my fandom and whether I should be in the industry (wrestling media-wise) knowing that they are asshats that will take an advantage on people for no reason other than more power and control.  This week proves that the business needs to wash all the old tropes that make it harder for people to express what's really going on especially when it pertains  to serious issues like sexual assault, racism, sexism etc.  I'm hoping that those stories will lead to a sudden change in every aspect of this profession and other ...
