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.

THE Coherent AEW Take: I Ain't Tellin' You No Lie, The Hook Brings You Back

PAGE AND BRYAN! HOOK! HOOK! HOOK! PAGE AND BRYAN! HOOK! HOOK! HOOK!  That's it. That's the intro.  Rampage.   Highlights.  HOOOOOOOOK!  I mean, I gotta support the man himself named Hook, DUHHH!  What can I say, I like a man that is built different, quick, agile and hard……..in professional wrestling, of course.  Suffice to say, Hook does something that Kalya Braxton doesn't and that is, making all biracials proud.  FTR vs Lucha Brothers for the AEW world tag team championship Two of the best tag teams I've ever witnessed as a wrestling fan (yes, they're THAT darn good) battling it out in an opening match so banging, not even your Beats headphone can replicate it, ya feel me?  The Lucha Brothers get to walk out of this episode of Rampage still as the reigning world tag champs.  Some Other Things That Happened.  Adam Cole defeated Wheeler Yuta - Adam Cole appreciation comment.  Dynamite.  Highlights.  Hangman Page...

Escape The Undertaker | A Short Coherent Review.

The internet. The only place where your YouTube recommended is filled with "I DON'T EVEN KNOW THAT'S PG".  It is also home to Netflix which released an interactive movie produced by future Raspberry award-winning movie studio, WWE films. Look, the idea of 3 black dudes being trapped inside a house by a white conservative dead hog, is offensive and by that description alone, you weren't sure for a sec whether you were watching Netflix or the Daily Wire.  Luckily, there wasn't a cameo from Tessa Blanchard so you should be fine.  As a fan of Mass Effect 2, I love some dialogue trees that alter the events of a movie/game.  And, from a functionality standpoint, it is a technical marvel how it gives the audience the illusion of choice (you know, like our current economic system).  I say "illusion" because therein lies the main problem I have with the film. Your choices don't matter here. Even in a WWE movie, they're still trying to avoid the fan...

WWE Smackdown Live 11/9/18 | My Coherent Review.

Smackdown live was overall a good show. Why you ask? Well, I'm gonna tell you what's good, what's ok and what's bad. Here we go.  WHAT'S GOOD Jeff Hardy vs Shinsuke Nakamura The promo before this was okay however that was a goooood match. Better than their in counter at SummerSlam. Jeff was about to beat Nakamura, however, randy outta nowhere pushes hardy on the outside hence Nakamura retains the championship and Jeff wins via DQ. They had a brawl that was better than the brawl last night on RAW I'll tell you that much.  Samoa Joe telling a bedtime story in a good not boring way.   I thought from the editing to the design of the book to the way Samoa Joe express the story was fantastic. The thing I LOVE about this is that it's a outside in the box type of promo package that worked. Man, I can't wait for this match. On Sunday night when the PPV airs, I think I'm gonna call my local "WENDYYYS" (My goodness that was awfu...
