WWE RAW 16/11/21 | A Coherent Review.

The reign of good Monday Night RAWs has kinda come to an end? 

While it wasn't the most offensive thing I've seen since Randy Orton vomiting out badly burned hot choco, I thought this week's RAW was just there. Nothing really of substance happened here.

Kevin Owens Explains His Reasoning For Beating Up Big E. 

After Kevin Owens basically said that he's tired of being humble and lowkey, Big E took a beating from The Usos and Riddle came to the big man's rescue which led to a tag team match because that's what you do after seeing multiple people fighting apparently. 

During the tag team match, shenanigans happened with Big E and Sethy Rollings and Randal Keith showed up to help his tag team partner, Riddle which led to a 6 man tag team match because apparently somebody asked for a sequel? 


Finally, after several and several minutes of stretching something that should've lasted 15 minutes at the very least, we got a clean victory from the heel team with a roll-up from Rollins to Riddle. 

After the match, Riddle got caught in a 2 on 1 beating from the current Smackdown tag team champions but Big E prevented that and gave the big ending to not only this (metaphorically speaking) the closest thing to a segment stretching out like an elastic but to Jey Uso. 

Why did this entire thing last for half an hour? I don't know but either way, it was too long. In other words, don't give Tony Khan ideas because he might extend his segments to half an hour or more. 

Bianca Belair vs Tamina. 

Man, WWE legit cooled Bianca Belair's steam and it sucks she's in that position right now when in theory, she should be on top at all times. 

After Belair's win over Tamina, Doudrop hinted at a match with the EST. I mean, it should be a good match, to be honest. 

Becky Lynch Goes Over Her History With Charlotte Flair Until……….


Liv Morgan showed up to tell Becky that she'll take the red white belt from her. 

Out of all the matches taking place at Survivor Series, Becky's encounter with Charlotte is the only one that is interesting considering the major history between them and Lynch's promo did a good job of putting a little tiny bit of stakes. 

Riddle wanted the smoke with The Street Profits. Get it? Weed? Riddle? Smoke? Not gonna lie, that joke would've been funnier had Seth Rogen said it. 

The Street Profits vs Alpha Academy. 

A decent tag team exhibition. The team of Angelo Dawkins and Montez Ford won here. Aight. 

Nikki A.S.H vs Queen Zelina Vega. 


Zelina Vega's okay British accent was enough to win the match against a Scottish person which is a visual metaphor of how the Scotland independence is going on (YOU SAID NO POLITICS, OMAR!)

All lame outdated jokes aside, this match was followed by their partners facing each other in Rhea Ripley and Carmella. And Ripley wins with the riptide. Cool. 

Kevin Owens vs Finn Balor. 

A solid but quick bout. Owens defeated Balor with the stunner. 

Since Owens' a heel now, I think the pop-up powerbomb should make its return as his finisher since the stunner is the most babyface move ever. 

AJ Styles And Omos vs Dolph Ziggler And Robert Roode. 

Two heels facing each other? SKIP! For real though, this ain't that bad. Styles and Omos win with a phenomenal forearm to Ziggler. 

Rey Mysterio vs Bobby Lashley. 


My man, Bob picked up the victory here and Adam Pearce was like, "uh, Rey since you lost the match, I'm going to replace you with Austin Theory even though I wanted an all former WWE champions team". 

God damn, like Sonya Deville, Adam Pearce does not like POCs succeeding AT ALL! 

So, to recap for all of you slow mofos. 

Like: Becky Lynch promo. 

Didn't like: Adam Pearce just contradicted himself, the opening act was a little too much booking wise.

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...

WrestleFest DXB's Fahrenheit 971 | A Coherent W.

  Being a fan of pro wrestling (or any other medium of entertainment) does have its pros and cons when engaging with the industry as a whole.  On one hand, you've witnessed an Eddie Kingston promo that'll make you tear up more than the opening scene of Up.  On the other hand, going to the wrestling subreddit will definitely have you questioning humanity as a whole and the fact that living in an area where a wrestling presence pretty much doesn't exist like a Vince Russo-written storyline that is, you know, GOOD!?  Luckily, the latter retracted my con as a fan because I'm talking about Wrestlefest DXB and their latest joint, "971 Fahrenheit".  Martin Bushby of now Post Wrestling Alumni brought the event to my attention because like a wrestler on an episode of RAW I get distracted all the time.  So, I decided to take a short journey to a taxi then a bus then a train then a 30-minute walk to the show itself and I know I'm going to sound biased as f**k but I l...

Let's Talk About The State Of Wrestlemania 37.

I usually save those kinds of pieces for my weekly news series, The 5 News Week due to how modern this subject is and how my essays usually dwell on the past.  Usually, it is too early to talk about an upcoming Wrestlemania in October but not this time especially since we're still in a pandemic.  This is a topic I've been thinking about all month and I had to write my thoughts on it.  Let's answer this question right away whether Wrestlemania 37 will happen in SoFii stadium next year?  from CBS Los Angeles The answer is an obvious no. But, I want to try to dig deeper and see exactly where we stand today.  As of me writing this, Wrestlemania: Hollywood edition is still scheduled to take place in SoFi stadium despite an outlet that shall not be named, claiming otherwise.  This is either sheer blind optimism or downright idiotic from Dubya, Dubya E.  WrestleVotes did mention back in July that while the event is still going to take place in the stadium,...
