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.

AEW Dynamite Blood And Guts | A Coherent Review.

Another watchable episode of AEW Dynamite but this time, it features the first-ever Blood And Guts encounter. Kenny Omega And Michael Nakazawa vs Jon Moxley And Eddie Kingston.  Don Callis announced that Michael Nakazawa is going to face Mox and Kingston all by himself only for Kenny Omega to show up and compete in the match anyway.  A weird booking choice but I'm just nitpicking.  What wasn't weird was how the match ended with a double team dragon suplex into a clothesline from the duo of Mox and Kingston to Nakazawa.  Then, a beatdown ensued from Omega's Posse to Jonny Mox and Eddie Kingston. The Young Bucks vs Jon Moxley and Eddie Kingston? I'm down.  It was revealed later in the night that a number one contenders match for the AEW championship is set up for next week's show between Orange Cassidy and Pac. I'm assuming AEW is saving the Hangman Page and Kenny Omega encounter for All Out?  Either way, AEW has the potential to tell an interesting story of ...

WWE RAW 5/10/20 | A Coherent Review.

I have not said this in a RAW review in a very long time but the show as a whole was straight up dogsh*t awful.  It's so bad that I didn't like one ounce about this program.  pictures via wwe.com Randy Orton Remembers His Match At Clash Of Champions.  The show started off with Randy Orton recalling certain aspects about the WWE championship match at Clash Of Champions.  Orton goes on to say that Drew doesn't deserve the championship because the legends interfered in the ambulance match.  The promo ended with Orton bringing up the fact that he beat up four legends last week on RAW (again, explain the physics behind this?).  Drew showed up and he laid waste on the guy.  Randy has been quite exceptional in the dialogue department but this ain't it.  The promo actually put me to sleep and the show didn't even hit 10 minutes up until that point.  If they suddenly end the rivalry like nothing happened, while it doesn't make sense, I'm all for it be...

WWE NXT UK Takeover: Cardiff | My Coherent Review.

via WWE I don't watch or review the first NXT UK Takeover for some odd reason but I'm so glad I did because that was like the main NXT Takeovers, was absolutely great to watch. I'm just speechless and if you have watched the show then you'll know why (also, if you somehow didn't watch this show, what are you doing? Go and treat yourself with some wrestling goodness.) Noam Dar vs Travis Banks.  A very enjoyable opening match. Noam Dar proves that he's great at what he does with so many submission holes because if you don't know, I'm a technical wrestling connoisseur. Noam Dar won the match with a standing shining wizard.  Cesaro vs Ilja Dragunov. Always great to see Cesaro do what he does best and that's a fight inside the square circle. So, Ilja called out Cesaro because Cesaro's looking for an open challenge and Cesaro obviously picked his challenger.  The Swiss Cyborg started off this match by throwing Dragunov to the outside ...
