Top 5 BEST THINGS About Monday Night RAW In 2021.

 "Monday Night RAW sucked this year," says someone with actual taste in anything really. 2021 may be the year of CM Punk's return to in-ring action but the red brand has some of those like………………………… Eva Marie anyone?

With that being said. Let's get into the good so here are the top 5 BEST things about Monday Night RAW In 2021.

Watching Podcasts Starring A White Dude That Rants. 

I love when a white dude takes a piece of entertainment way too seriously. It just proves that they love this business. 

So much in fact, that they would make sexist and racist comments towards performers that had nothing to do with the creative process. I also love how they call fellow pundits a shill for their opinions. 

The word "subjective" got nothing on the folks that routinely talk about how they've been a fan for longer than your dad's jacket I guess. They also love comparing WWE to AEW which makes sense considering the full abbreviation of AEW is All Elite Whites. 

Distraction Finishes. 

Every once in a while, we get the poison Ivy esque distraction. However, NOTHING comes close to the power of the distraction finish. 

The distraction finish is so powerful, in fact, it's probably the most protective move in professional wrestling right behind the roll-up. 

You gotta give that trope some credit. They did help create a great podcast called "The Distraction" where their skits make WWE's segments look like the Star Wars Christmas special. 

"Can They Co-Exist" Trope? 

Speaking of the most innovative storytelling device in the history of this industry because it has to be when it is used many, many times. 

It's like telling the story of you and your money hoarding, "hardworking" and "risk-taking" boss with this description. The outcome answers the question with a "fuck no". 

I know this section is extremely short but so is the ending to the "can they coexist" storyline. 

Rematches. 

Matches that you've seen a ton are the wrestling's equivalent of reruns but a lot better, CLEARLY! 

Why? Because it's a great way to script a series you just wrote minutes into the show. 

Rematches on RAW are like The Marine movies. They weren't good the first time so you might as well create a never-ending narrative. 

They could call their rematches as a "best of 7" or "best of 10" but that would've made too much sense. 

The Storylines Always Play It Out. 

The "let it play out" advice is the greatest advice of all time right below the "calm down" advice. You don't believe me? Just ask the Randy Orton and the Bray Wyatt storyline. 

It's the best thing to tell fans after watching a show with no clear direction. 

When Karrion Kross took a fat L on his Monday Night RAW debut, that was the best time to tell yourself "let it play out" and it did because, for the next several weeks, he came out (without Scarlett Bourdeaux by his side) looking like he has a fetish for torture. 

Nothing screams the sentence "I'm cucked" more than this scenario. 

To sum it up, "let it play out" is great advice for people with a patience level of 9000! 


(WARNING: This is a sarcastic piece so don’t get mad over oily people action). 

Thank you so much for reading this and if you like it, please share it around and let me know what are some of your favourite RAW moments of 2021 Anyways, stay safe smarks and have a happy new year.

WWE Smackdown 14/1/22 | A Coherent Review.

WOAH, WOOOOOAH *Insert drums* BURN IT DOWN *insert more drums* Don't know why I just quoted Seth Rollins' theme song. Probably because I'm bored and have nothing else better to do on a Saturday afternoon (which explains the Smackdown review).  Now, how was the show? It was aight.  The Viking Raiders vs Angel And Humberto Carrillo vs Jinder Mahal And Shank vs Mansoor And Cesaro. Winner Gets A Blue Tag Belt Opportunity.  The best part about all of this was The Usos introduction of all 4 members. Gotta say, they're pretty natural at this and wouldn't mind them doing ring announcing full time.  The only thing they should avoid is threatening somebody with WWE lawyers.  The Viking Raiders won the whole thing and all I can say is, finally! No more Viking Raiders vs Happy Corbin and Madcap Moss matches.  Why WWE Be Messing With Sami Like That!?  That "InZayn" stunt show is sad to watch. He should've been doing so much better than trying to do knockoff Jacka**...

WWE RAW 1/6/20 | A Coherent Review.

While the wrestling was, for the most part, the best thing about the show, the latest edition of Monday Night RAW lacked some storytelling aspect and instead relied too much on highlight videos which can be useful but in this instance, it was a bit excessive for me.  Seth Rollins Hosts Rey Mysterio's "Retirement Ceremony".  The self-proclaimed, "leader of Monday Night RAW" , appreciates Rey Mysterio for being the legend in the industry that sacrifices for the greater good of Monday Nights. The scene even aired a video highlighting the career of Rey Mysterio as well as the vicious attack he took from the Messiah himself.  Aleister Black ran to the ring and he immediately started to brawl with Seth and that led to a match between Black and Rollins.  I liked this segment mainly due to the fact that it showcases who The Messiah character is and how it's pretty much his Monday Night Rollins persona but with a heel twist. And for that reason, ...

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...
