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 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...

WWE Smackdown 24/4/20 | A Coherent Review.

This week's Smackdown show was decent but it wasn't as strong as the previous weeks and *hits his head a few times* here's why.  The New Day Celebrates Their Title Victory. The show kicked off with the now 8th time WWE tag team champions, The New Day and like the title above, they were celebrating their big title win last week (No sh*t, Omar).  During the segment, Kofi mentioned that there's nothing wrong with pointing out that they have more title reigns than The Hart Foundation, Edge and Christian, Demolition, The New Age Outlaws etc because it's them being proud of their accomplishments.  Out came Lucha House Party, The Miz and John Morrison and they pretty much said that they deserve a title shot. The Forgotten Sons showed up to tell The New Day, Lucha House Party and every other tag team watching that they will never be forgotten.  They lived up to that statement as the Forgotten Sons destroyed Lucha House Party and The New Day.  ...
