WWE RAW 22/11/21 | A Coherent Review.

 Monday Night RAW was, like last night's Survivor Series PPV, pretty f'ing skippable.

The entire narrative of this episode revolves around Vince McMahon's egg which sounds so weird to say out of context. 

So, who stole that egg? Well, thanks to Sami Zayn's "sources", the person that took The Rock's golden egg (again, so odd to say it without context) from the Netflix film, Red Notice is Austin Theory and he got a WWE championship opportunity later in the episode. I do agree with Vince McMahon. No one likes a snitch. 

Looking at you, SEAN. ROSS. SAPP or any other wrestling journalist! 

Big E and Austin Theory did deliver a decent match and it ended with Big E retaining the championship due to the good old distraction finish from Seth Rollins and Kevin Owens arguing on the outside which sidelined Austin Theory. 

It led to a good old brawl between Seth and Big E while Kevin Owens somehow didn't get involved in all of that. Nothing to say other than meh.

Becky Lynch's "You People" Promo.  

The difference is that it was warranted given how the crowd was a little too much yesterday. As a whole, the promo was okay.  Lynch is going back to her portrayal as "I hate you a**holes" type of heel. 

Riddle vs Dolph Ziggler. 

An okay effort from these two guys. Riddal won with an RKO that looked like your friend's version of the move. 

Bianca Belair vs Tamina. 

A match that I couldn't care less about considering Belair's one-sided win over Tamina last week.

And that's exactly what happened this week other than an attack from Natalya and then Doudrop.  

Seth Rollins vs Finn Balor. 


The match didn't happen due to Seth's attack on the Irishman during Balor's entrance. This resulted in even more beating from "please don't say drip" Seth Rollins. 

The only thing I can add about the fan that ran towards Seth is that based on his physique, that dude ran so fast to Rollins, he got his cardio workout done. 

Also, Finn Balor feels like such an afterthought, it's honestly not surprising. 

The Street Profits vs AJ Styles And Omos. 


A solid tag team bout. The match ended via a DQ because of a fire extinguisher being sprayed on by Angela Dawkins to the team of AJ Styles And Omos. 

I guess they didn't want the smoke? (boooooooooooooooo!) 


These mofos are out here talking about "Veer coming soon" to RAW for months now. What is he? F**KING CYBERPUNK 2077!? The difference is that people were looking forward to that game. 


So, we got brand new tag team champions in Queen Zelina Vega and Carmella. That women's division is as worthless as Quibi. I got no emotion whatsoever after watching this. 

My man, Reginald lost the 24/7 championship to Cedric Alexander to which he lost to Dana Brooke. Cool. 

While Liv Morgan slapped the sh*t out of Becky Lynch. Stephanie McMahon would be proud. 

Bobby Lashley vs Rey And Dominik Mysterio. 

Aka the most predictable match since any Arsenal game circa a few months ago. 

Lashley wins with the hurt lock. 


And the final thing that happened on this episode of Monday Night Aight is a US championship match that saw its challenger, Sami Zayn, lose to Damian Priest. Now, what was the use of Apollo Crews in the segment before the match other than his promo? 

I don't know but either way, his heel run is disappointing and could've been a LOT better than the "foreign heel" persona. 

So, to recap for all of you slow mofos. 

Like: I guess Vince's line regarding snitches? 

Didn't like: The usual dullness of it all.

WWE Extreme Rules 2019 | My Coherent Review.

Man, I'm impressed with WWE in terms of PPVs as of late because overall, this was a fantastic show in my opinion with great matches but the crowd was dead for most of the show so that sucks.  I finally watched the pre-show match between Finn Balor and Shinsuke Nakamura before I went to bed because the show aired at 2 am where I live and it was okay.  By the way, how interesting is it when on last year’s Extreme Rules show, Shinsuke Nakamura won the United States championship and now this year’s show, he won the intercontinental title. Also, it's funny that the intercontinental championship was the main event on last's year show and on this year's Extreme Rules PPV, it's on the preshow.  Shane McMahon and Drew McIntyre vs Roman Reigns and The Undertaker.  Mike Rome did better in announcing "The Best In the world" this time than on RAW. Mike Rome's announcement a few weeks ago sounded like that one friend that thinks he/she knows how to ...

NXT Takeover: In Your House 2020 | A Coherent Review.

NXT Takeover: In Your House is like the rest of the Takeover shows, a fantastic 2 hours of professional wrestling.  What makes this show special is the additional nostalgia like how the show started with the NXT WWF inspired intro, the ice cream commercial narrated by William Regal doing his best Lord Alferd Hayes impression, icopro commercial and last but not least, Todd Pettengill.  This is a show that I'm definitely rewatching in years to come.  Mia Yim, Tegan Nox And Shotzi Blackheart vs Raquel Gonzalez, Candice LeRae And Dakota Kai.  A decent opening match. During the match, Nox did a Molly Holly top rope on to every competitor in the match.  Yim tried to give LeRae some Seoul Food but LeRae reversed that into a suplex. Several minutes later, Shotzi did a Salida Del Sol of some sort on Gonzalez to which Nox delivered the shiniest wizard on Kai and won the match.  Finn Balor vs Damian Priest. I actually thought that the closing mo...

The Coherent Wrestling Wednesdays: Holy Sh*t, The Revival Are All Elite, Matt Riddle vs Timothy Thatcher In A Unique Steel Cage Match.

Both shows had its weak points but overall, that was an enjoyable 4 hours of professional wrestling television. I personally liked AEW Dynamite this week.  From an awesome women's match with Shida and Christi Jaynes to The Revival showing up, AEW managed to give me a solid episode and successfully furthered their storylines to next week's exciting show.  NXT   Highlights (at least in my opinion because wrestling is subjective).  Kushida vs Drake Maverick vs Jake Atlas. Triple Threat Match Interim Cruiserweight Championship Tournament.  What a way to kick off this episode of NXT, am I right? Atlas delivered the rainbow DDT but Kushida broke Jake's pin.  Speaking of Kushida, he nailed the armbar submission, however, Drake pinned Atlas because Atlas' shoulders were on the mat and will meet El Hijo Del Fantasma for the finals next week.  I don't know if Drake is rehired or he's going to be rehired but Maverick has a big ta...
