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.

My Coherent Wrestling Wednesdays: Chris Jericho Offers Moxley To Join Inner Circle, The Go-Home Show Before Dec 18th.

I thought the middle act of AEW Dynamite suffered some pacing issues even though it was overall a much stronger show than last week's episode.  The latest episode of NXT, however, has built a solid foundation on what's to come on December 18th. The main question is, which show do I like better? The answer is AEW.  NXT  Highlights. Angel Garza vs Lio Rush For The NXT Cruiserweight Championship.  Was this match better than their first encounter? Like Snoop Dogg's verse in Sasha Banks' theme song, "Hell yea". Garza slams Rush hard on the ring apron by pushing the champ. Moments later, Garza delivers the Spanish Fly and Rush kicked out of that.  As Rush hits the frog splash, the champ wanted to pull him back in the middle of the ring but instead, he ripped off Garza's pants (nice attention to detail).  Angel then hits the wind clipper but Lio kicked out which led to a wind clipper submission and the man of the hour tapped out which m...

The 5 News Week: An Interview With ROH's Eli Isom, Fans Singing Petitions For Charlotte Flair Not Winning Titles Anymore!?

Hello, my fellow wrestling fans and welcome to the 5 news week. The post where I report 5 major or minor news of the week that I don't have time to do it separately. Without further ado, here are the 5 news week. An Interview With ROH's Eli Isom.  Yes. After several and several and several of The 5 News Week articles that I've been putting out since late 2018, I finally got an interview for you guys.  The person in question is Ring Of Honour's Eli Isom. Since graduating from the ROH Dojo, Isom has worked and learned from the absolute best in the industry:  "I’m lucky that I got a chance to train from scratch with ROH, without that kind of training who knows where I’d be right now." So, without further ado, here is the conversation I had with Eli.  Omar: My first question is, how would you describe the persona of "Eli Isom" to resident WWE shills like myself? Eli Isom: For me, my wrestling persona isn’t too far off from who I real...

A Brief Guide To Pro Wrestling Websites.

So. You just become a fan of pro wrestling and have dabbled into the fandom for a bit (it's a mess ain't it?) You've just followed some news sites' social media platforms but aren't sure whether the articles they put out are accurate or not.  Well, you got the right guy to solve that problem if it's from a blog that barely gets any traction (that would be me in case you were confused).  The news we get from the medium that is pro wrestling is an integral part of the online space.  The reason being is that it's not only a great conversation starter but you could also learn something new today about the industry you love.  That doesn't mean that all of the news you see on the timeline is reliable.  I'm here to hopefully give you a guide to wrestling sites.  There are many wrestling websites out there but I wanna highlight some of the notable ones.  Okay? Here we go.  #1: Wrestling Observer Newsletter aka F4WOnline.  I can't talk about a guide t...
