WWE RAW 8/11/21 | A Coherent Review.

I've enjoyed Monday Night RAW as of late and if I've read that sentence as recent as a few months ago, I would probably call it "blasphemous".

The question is, did this episode continue its process of good episodes? The answer is yes. This episode was actually good if not great.

Seth Rollins Was Like, "I Know Kevin Owens Is A POS"

The headline above pretty much described the entire in-ring promo segment from Drippy Jesus other than the backstage segment in which Kevin convinces Big Cocoa Butter Rubber E that he isn't the guy he used to be.

And Rollins ran as soon as Kevin Owens showed up. Before the main event match happened, Rollins "came clean" to Big E saying that what happened last week was a plan being set up by himself and Owens.

After a good back and forth between those two men, the accidental collision between Kevin Owens and Big E, led to a count-out loss for the prizefighter.

And then, Kevin followed Shotzi's footsteps by beating up a black person following a loss for a title opportunity.

And unlike Shotzi, I actually do not mind the heel turn if that's where they are going with this because it is a possibility that Owens was just angry at the heat of the moment, giving the guy a "tweener" edge in him but who knows?

Either way, I'm intrigued by the outcome of all of this next week.

RKBRO And The Street Profits vs AJ Styles, Omos, Dolph Ziggler And Robert Roode.

Miscommunications PARTAYYYYYY from both sides of the 8 man tag team match but an okay match for what it was. The heel team picked up the victory which followed with an immediate RKO to Dolph Ziggler.

Another vignette for Veer. Very nice! (Sarcasm of course).

Bobby Lashley vs Dominik Mysterio. Winner Added To The Survivor Series.

It's that time of the year where an entire PPV revolves around RAW and Smackdown wrestlers facing each other "for one night only".

You know what's also promised to be "one night only"? Impact Wrestling's PPV of the same name but we all know what happened.

Dominik Mysterio was part of the men's team for the red brand, however, Adam Pearce was like, "Nah, you gotta face Bobby Lashley In order to keep your spot"

And, of course, Bobby Lashley wins here. In a backstage segment, Rey Mysterio pulled a "DAMN YOU, SETH ROLLINS!" on Adam Pearce. Well, that made me chuckle for no reason.

Verbal chaos ensued amongst the entire RAW women's division on who deserves an opportunity to be part of the women's Survivor Series team.

You know it's bad when Chris Van Vliet's Emmy collection is bigger than the entire women's division.

Big E vs Chad Gable.

Oh, my. A different matchup? Impressive. It was also a solid match. Big E defeated Gable with the big ending.

Reggie vs Drake Maverick For The 24/7 Championship.

Drake Maverick, Akira Tozawa, Corey Graves, Bryon Saxton, Drake Maverick again and Reggie, all won the 24/7 championship.

It does make sense why Corey Graves was awarded the 24/7 title given that his colour commentating is equivalent to the 24/7 championship.

Bryon Saxton? Well, I'm hoping he has a good day.

Bianca Belair vs Liv Morgan vs Carmella vs Zelina Vega vs Rhea Ripley. Winner Faces Becky Lynch For The RAW Women's Championship.

Why's Becky Lynch dressed like a member of a 90s pop band that nobody remembers?

All lame banter aside, the match was fine and the outcome was unexpected considering that I couldn't see WWE making that decision as recently as a few weeks ago but I'm glad they did.

It's time for women outside of the typical main event picture to get some shine.

The woman I'm referring to is Liv Morgan because she won the whole thing and will go on to face Becky Lynch for the RAW women's championship.

So, to recap for all of you slow mofos.

Like: Liv Morgan's win, Big E vs Chad Gable, Kevin Owens vs Seth Rollins, Kevin's character edge is intriguing.

Didn't like: There's nothing I disliked about the show. Shocking, I know.

THE Coherent AEW Take: I Ain't Tellin' You No Lie, The Hook Brings You Back

PAGE AND BRYAN! HOOK! HOOK! HOOK! PAGE AND BRYAN! HOOK! HOOK! HOOK! That's it. That's the intro. Rampage. Highlights. HOOOOOOOOK! I mean, I gotta support the man himself named Hook, DUHHH! What can I say, I like a man that is built different, quick, agile and hard……..in professional wrestling, of course. Suffice to say, Hook does something that Kalya Braxton doesn't and that is, making all biracials proud. FTR vs Lucha Brothers for the AEW world tag team championship Two of the best tag teams I've ever witnessed as a wrestling fan (yes, they're THAT darn good) battling it out in an opening match so banging, not even your Beats headphone can replicate it, ya feel me? The Lucha Brothers get to walk out of this episode of Rampage still as the reigning world tag champs. Some Other Things That Happened. Adam Cole defeated Wheeler Yuta - Adam Cole appreciation comment. Dynamite. Highlights. Hangman Page...

Escape The Undertaker | A Short Coherent Review.

The internet. The only place where your YouTube recommended is filled with "I DON'T EVEN KNOW THAT'S PG". It is also home to Netflix which released an interactive movie produced by future Raspberry award-winning movie studio, WWE films. Look, the idea of 3 black dudes being trapped inside a house by a white conservative dead hog, is offensive and by that description alone, you weren't sure for a sec whether you were watching Netflix or the Daily Wire. Luckily, there wasn't a cameo from Tessa Blanchard so you should be fine. As a fan of Mass Effect 2, I love some dialogue trees that alter the events of a movie/game. And, from a functionality standpoint, it is a technical marvel how it gives the audience the illusion of choice (you know, like our current economic system). I say "illusion" because therein lies the main problem I have with the film. Your choices don't matter here. Even in a WWE movie, they're still trying to avoid the fan...

WWE Smackdown Live 11/9/18 | My Coherent Review.

Smackdown live was overall a good show. Why you ask? Well, I'm gonna tell you what's good, what's ok and what's bad. Here we go. WHAT'S GOOD Jeff Hardy vs Shinsuke Nakamura The promo before this was okay however that was a goooood match. Better than their in counter at SummerSlam. Jeff was about to beat Nakamura, however, randy outta nowhere pushes hardy on the outside hence Nakamura retains the championship and Jeff wins via DQ. They had a brawl that was better than the brawl last night on RAW I'll tell you that much. Samoa Joe telling a bedtime story in a good not boring way. I thought from the editing to the design of the book to the way Samoa Joe express the story was fantastic. The thing I LOVE about this is that it's a outside in the box type of promo package that worked. Man, I can't wait for this match. On Sunday night when the PPV airs, I think I'm gonna call my local "WENDYYYS" (My goodness that was awfu...
