WWE RAW 1/11/21 | A Coherent Review.

The red brand delivered a solid episode this week just like the rest of the recent episodes as of late.

I don't know if the white ring ropes had something to do with the recent quality of episodes or not. Either way, I'll consume it, I guess.

Becky Lynch vs Bianca Belair For The RAW Women's Championship.

A match that should've main evented the show given the performers and even the championship itself.

To the surprise of no one, Becky Lynch retained the raw women's championship due to Lynch pushing Belair onto the top turnbuckle followed by a roll-up.

The finish was kinda bleh to me. Don't get me wrong, I like the match and I don't hate Belair taking a loss at some point because, in professional wrestling, a wrestler either wins or loses (unless your name is Shayna Baszler in that you lose pretty much all the damn time).

But, After all of the build-up and the intrigue surrounding the match, the finish felt so flat and underwhelming.

That backstage segment with Becky Lynch and Liv Morgan though? Now that's worthy of a two eyes emoji.

Austin Theory vs Rey Mysterio.

So, Austin went from fighting one old jumping man a few weeks back to another. Cool.

The referee saw Dominik Mysterio slap the sh*t out of Austin Theory and that is how Rey Mysterio got DQed, giving the young creep the good old W.

Seth Rollins Used The Word "You People" More Times Than An Average Bigot.

After Seth gave a "next time" for his WWE championship match against Big E, Kevin Owens called Big E out for a non-title match (which was really good, by the way).

The main event attraction of the episode, ended with a crucifix pin from Big E which was reversed from a pin cover from Owens after a cheap shot by Rollins to Big E.

Big E didn't like that so he gave the Quebecer a big ending (if that ending was going to the elite but that wasn't the case here).

I'm glad that WWE is finally doing something with Kevin Owens because the dude has been going through the motions ever since he feuded with Roman Reigns a year ago.

The match between Kevin Owens and Seth Rollins should be great.

I can't believe I'm saying this but I'm actually looking forward to something on RAW. That sentence should have not been uttered.

Another sentence that should have not been uttered is, "according to Ringsidenews".

I could add something regarding the 24/7 championship shenanigans that happened but the scene is so irrelevant, y'all wouldn't point out a missing piece of my review (y'all? You have 2 viewers bruh. You ain't Wrestling Inc, my guy).

Rhea Ripley And Nikki A.S.H vs Queen Zelina Vega And Carmella.

A passable match that didn't do much for me. The heels win with a sunset flip from Vega. They're actually doing a decent job with Zelina Vega's persona. That's nice.

Finn Balor vs Chad Gable.

A match so random yet so fun. If I had to critique, it's probably the fact that it's a little too short for my wrestling liking.

Balor won the match with an inside cradle.

The ending was kinda confusing seeing that a loss from Gable wouldn't hurt him all that much.

The Street Profits vs Robert Roode And Dolph Ziggler.

A match I've seen so many times, it honestly feels like groundhog day at times.

You wanna know something better? It ended with a distraction finish. Nice! Can't wait to see the wrestling version of "getting cucked" for the gazillionth time.

Omos distracted Montez Ford to which he destroyed Montez and Riddle wanted to fight back but Omos' threw one-half of the tag team champions like a paper waste.

Remember. Riddle isn't known for his wise choice of words or decisions, people!

The last thing to air about this match before the main event was the No DQ match between Damian Priest and T-Bar (WHY CAN'T Y'ALL GAVE THE GUY HIS CROATIAN A** NAME BACK!?).

After Priest defeated T-Bar, Apollo Crews was like, "I'm going to be the champion, you fool!"

Who wants to see Apollo being booked weak as champion again if he does win the US title? The answer is probably Ryan Satin.

So, to recap for all of you slow mofos.

Like: Finn Balor vs Chad Gable, Big E vs Kevin Owens, Bianca Belair vs Becky Lynch for the RAW women's championship.

Didn't like: The ending of the RAW WOMEN'S championship match felt disappointingly flat, some of the same old booking decisions like distraction finishes.

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...
