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 5 News Week: An Interview With ROH's Eli Isom, Fans Singing Petitions For Charlotte Flair Not Winning Titles Anymore!?

Hello, my fellow wrestling fans and welcome to the 5 news week. The post where I report 5 major or minor news of the week that I don't have time to do it separately. Without further ado, here are the 5 news week. An Interview With ROH's Eli Isom.  Yes. After several and several and several of The 5 News Week articles that I've been putting out since late 2018, I finally got an interview for you guys.  The person in question is Ring Of Honour's Eli Isom. Since graduating from the ROH Dojo, Isom has worked and learned from the absolute best in the industry:  "I’m lucky that I got a chance to train from scratch with ROH, without that kind of training who knows where I’d be right now." So, without further ado, here is the conversation I had with Eli.  Omar: My first question is, how would you describe the persona of "Eli Isom" to resident WWE shills like myself? Eli Isom: For me, my wrestling persona isn’t too far off from who I real...

The 5 News Week: Master P Buying House Of Glory!?, NXT TV To Air In Different Arenas!?

Hello, my fellow wrestling fans and welcome to the 5 news week. The post where I report 5 major or minor news of the week that I don't have time to do it separately. Without further ado, here are the 5 news week . Sorry for not posting in two days. Just some personal stuff I gotta deal with and my Coherent Wednesdays review was a bit rushed and I want to nail it in a no pun intended, coherent matter if that makes any sense? Hopefully, my reviews will get better in the coming weeks.  Master P Buying House Of Glory!?  A great example of human beings having an unpredictable nature to them (ask Vince McMahon), Master P was interviewed somewhere in Manhattan and he announced that he has brought an independent wrestling promotion based in New York called House Of Glory or HOG which was founded by Brian XL and Impact Alumni Amazing Red in 2014.  PWInsider and Mike Johnson gave an update to this story stating that Master P will deliver the "muscle and production team" goi...

WWE NXT 17/7/19 | My Coherent Review.

I didn't feel anything about this show overall besides one very good match and an impactful debut. Here's why.  Matt Riddle vs Arturo Ruas.  Those two guys have a background in MMA so it was really interesting as to how the match turned out. Started out with some technical wrestling which if you've been a follower of this blog then you'll know how much I LOVE technical submission wrestling.   The match ended with Matt Riddle delivering a series of rights and the ref stopped it which means that Matt won the match. After that, a masked man revealed as Killan Dan was beating the crap out of him and it was so bad that Mauro Ranallo screamed "Mamma Mia" on top of his lungs which is pretty rare. I actually really liked this. It's a different way to debut somebody and insert that person quickly in a feud instead of having that superstar wrestle in so many squash matches which I don't mind if they went in that route.  The Street Profits ...
