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.

WWE Smackdown Live 28/8/18 | My Coherent Review.

Overall, Smackdown Live was better than RAW in terms of having a somewhat good ending. Why you ask? Well, I'm gonna give you what's good, what's ok and the bad parts about this show were none in my opinion. Without further ado, this is my coherent, honest review of this week's Smackdown Live.  WHAT'S GOOD    New day's celebration  You have the new day celebration with their interaction with booker T and the addition of the spinaroonie or the spinaroonie, in this case, was entertaining and an odd but amusing opening segment.  Daniel Bryan vs Andrade "Cien" almas   Daniel Bryan's promo with Brie Bella by his side was like the Naomi vs Billie Kay match, it was there. However, the match itself was pretty good in my opinion. That chop by almas looked brutal bro like damn. Daniel Bryan wins Via DQ by miz beating him, almas hitting the hammerlock DDT, Maryse hitting a brutal looking DDT to brie bella and then miz hitting the skull cru

WWE Smackdown 14/2/20 | My Coherent Review.

Last night was my 2nd anniversary of pumping out written content on this site and I thought since this show has delivered 6 or sometimes 3 out of 10s for 4 months now, I've written some lyrics about my thoughts on Smackdown in the style of the current song opening for the blue brand.  If you wanna put the instrumental version of ACDC's Are You Ready while reading this then that's cool too.  *Cue the intro* Are you Ready?  Are you ready for mediocrity! Then, get ready for disappointment.  No one needs it.  No one needs it.  No one needs it.   Even Bischoff.  Are you ready for mediocrity! *ends with some guitar solos*.  The lyrics may suck but it is at least better than whatever the hell Justin Bieber meant when he sang his current single "Yummy".  Now, on with the review. The Return Of A Moment Of Bliss (Unlike The Return Of The Dirt Sheets, Nobody Really Cares).  Both Bliss and Nikki Cross talked about their c

WWE RAW 6/7/20 | A Coherent Review.

This episode of RAW actually made me look forward to Extreme Rules and that's something WWE doesn't do all that well in recent years. It was a great effort by the powers that be.  Dolph Ziggler Picks The Stipulation For The WWE Championship At Extreme Rules: The Horror Show.  McIntyre is waiting for Dolph Ziggler to pick the stipulation for their championship match at Extreme Rules.  Drew got his wish as Dolph Ziggler said that Drew has been stabbing people in the back and that includes the person that Ziggler brought up but not verbally, Heath Slater.  In a very emotional promo, Slater told his former 3MB mate that he was there for Drew McIntyre when Drew was fired from WWE in 2014 but the Scotsmen wasn't there for Slater when he was fired this year.  So, the one-man-band challenged him to a match and the WWE champion accepted. How was the match?  It was a squash bout. Drew wins with the claymore to which Ziggler was picking on Heath and Mc
