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's input. 

I get that they’ll lead to more hours of shooting but the choices made didn't matter in the end. I will give the movie another positive though, the film had a solid score that blends in certain scenes. 

If you’re an international viewer and the English language isn't your native tongue, well good luck with watching the movie in confusion because there were a few translation errors via the subtitles that came off cringe to read even in Italian according to Last Minute Wrestling Podcast’s Frank Mandolini (Who says I don’t shout out POC creators?) Overall, the interactive Netflix is yet another mediocre produced WWE films project that is extremely dull in its narrative. 


Apologies for the very short review, It’s just that the movie’s mediocrity didn't entice me to write a 900 to a 1000 word.

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...

My Coherent Wrestling Wednesdays: Three Big Returns, A Great Inaugural Women's Championship Match.

If you have been a fan of this site since January, then you'll know that I've completely rebooted my review process and now, I'm doing that again.  Don't worry, the format for my RAW, Smackdown and PPV reviews will still be the same but not on Wednesdays. So, here it is, My Coherent Wrestling Wednesdays.  NXT The Highlights. Adam Cole vs Matt Riddle For The NXT Championship.  A match that opened this episode of the yellow brand, the original bro and the leader of The Undisputed Era tore the house down.  Whether it's Cole reversing the fireman's carry from Riddle into a backstabber, Cole hitting a Panama sunrise twice, a floating bro or the crowd chanting "Adam Cole, bro", it was a visual statement by NXT that the yellow brand is THE brand to watch.  Unfortunately,  Riddle felt short and ate the last shot but there was another highlight I wanna talk about….. Finn Balor Returns To N. X. T.  It's not a typo my friends, Finn ...
