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.

NXT Takeover: 30 | A Coherent Review.

NXT Takeovers have delivered greatly throughout the "30 years" of Takeover shows.  This one, in my opinion, wasn't it. For a Takeover program, this was disappointing.  All of the Takeovers are A's or B's and Takeover 30 was a C at best.  At least, I like the stage production set.  pictures via WWE.com PRESHOW: Breezango vs Legado De La Fantasma vs Oney Lorcan And Danny Burch. Winner Faces Imperium For The NXT Tag Team Championship.  It was a fine match. Joaquin Wilde's ring gear was really cool even though it took a bit out of the seriousness from the Legado De La Fantasma stable. I'm just nitpicking though.  Breezango actually won the match and will go on to face Imperium for the tag belts.  MAIN SHOW: Finn Balor vs Timothy Thatcher.  Timothy Thatcher started off this match with a series of punches which he then later transitioned into various submission moves.  Pretty much, Finn has no choice but to adapt to...

WWE RAW 28/2/22 | A Coherent Review.

Another week, another episode of Monday Night RAW aka a 2 hour podcast for an angry bearded white guy.  Kevin Owens and Seth Rollins spoke with Alpha Academy and………..  It led to a stunner from Kevin Owens to Chad Gable  I can't criticize the way Gable says thank you because after all, he's a chad.  The segment followed with a decent tag team match between two former rivals and the Academics.  And like their dating life, the Alphas took an L here.  This is the part where I would be mad at the tag champs getting pinned but those titles, as well as the entire tag division, are so meaningless, I don't have the energy to do so.  T-Bar vs Omos.  T-Bar lost a match and Omos can't wrestle for sh*ts. In other news, the colour of blood is red.  Bianca Belair, Rhea Ripley And Liv Morgan vs Becky Lynch, Doudrop And Nikki A.S.H.  Bianca once again proves that she owns all of the EST by leading her team to victory with the KOD on Nikki Ash Ketchum....

Top 3 BEST Distraction Finishes EVER!

Distraction endings to a wrestling match in WWE depend on one another if you think about it. It's like the peanut butter and jelly or the chicken and the basmati biryani rice or Dan Lambert and sexism.  "Why top 3", you may ask? Because one, I'm different and two, well, I'm different, so be gone to the mofos that think it's shorter than Brock Lesnar's bout with Kofi Kingston.  (WARNING: This piece is mostly sarcasm).  Daniel Bryan vs Sheamus. Wrestlemania 28.  I know this made your eyebrows raise as high as Rocky Maivia but think about this. The kiss from AJ Lee that led to a brogue kick from Sheamus, has in some way, led to the general audience seeing how Daniel Bryan should be WAY higher in the overall arc than where he was at that time.  Also, this was also the year where Bryan showed off his comedic chops with his "NO" catchphrase and his tag team run with the big red conservative, Kane.  If anything, this distraction finish was a great chara...
