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.

Should Dave Meltzer Get Rid Of His Rating System?

So a few weeks ago, good old Dave Meltzer of the wrestling observer newsletter gave the Kazuchika Okada vs Kenny omega match at dominion 2018 a 7-star rating. According to the interent wrestling database , this match is by far his HIGHEST match rating ever (i don't blame him because the match was amazing). So statistically, this is his favourite match of all time . Now, why I'm writing this now?  Well, his best match ratings have been a consistent 5 stars since 1983 with the exception of all the Omega vs Okada matches and the Mitsuharu Misawa vs Toshiaki Kawada match at AJPW's Budokan hall show in June of 1994.  There are fans that take his match ratings as an offence somehow like "Why he rates X match better than Y match?" or thinks that he "hates" WWE which is ridiculous considering that he gave three WWE matches a 5 star ratings just this past year. One was the ladder match to crown the first ever NXT North American champion, the Johnny Garga...

WWE Smackdown Live 10/7/18 | My Coherent Review.

Smackdown live was a bad show that did nothing as a wrestling fan to gain any excitement for extreme rules. Why you ask? Well i'm gonna give you what's good. No scratch that, i'm gonna give you what's ok and what's bad. Here we go. WHAT'S OK The opening segment and the brawl after that The opening segment was meh. And the brawl after that was fine. Didn't make me go "OHHHHHHHHHHH" or anything like along those lines. That brawl leads to a TEN MAN TAG TEAM match (Ummmmmm no shit omar). I will say this, the segment kinda teased the fact that maybe kane will turn on his best friend? I don't know. Should be interesting.  Andrade "cien" almas vs Sin cara The match was surprisingly decent. At one point andrade delivered a devastating stomp to sin cara on the ring apron. Andrade wins with a running knee to sin cara on the middle rope. Hoping andrade can move on to bigger and better things.  WHAT'S BAD ...

WWE Smackdown Live 19/2/19 | My Coherent Review.

This show was overall, a skippable show just like RAW yesterday and here's why.  Opening segment.  The show kicked off with Shane McMahon with his usual cheap pop. After that, Shane McMahon announced that Aleister Black, Johnny Gargano, Ricochet and Tommaso Ciampa will be on SmackDown Live just like RAW last night (click here to read my RAW review).  Out came The Miz and he said that he hasn't stop thinking about their match at Elimination Chamber. Miz also said he admitted that he used Shane because Miz wanted to make Shane McMahon understand where's Miz's coming from.  Miz then wanted a rematch between him, Shane McMahon and the Usos for the SmackDown Live tag team championship to which the Usos came out and insulted The Miz.  That led to Shane McMahon saying that the rematch is on but at Fastlane in two weeks. So we got the first official match scheduled for Fastlane and considering that Shane is a McMahon and has all the Authority, I do...
