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.

Wrestling And The So Called "'Realism".

  When was the last time you've heard a wrestling fan say, "wrestling is too unrealistic" or "wrestling is beyond believable"? If the answer is no, I wanna live in whatever dystopia you reside in because I envy your ignorance.  All wittiness aside, it is pretty common to hear pundits and fans say that the medium of their entertainment (pro wrestling, in this case) is too darn unrealistic.  Now, why is that? That depends on when professional wrestling or the specific style of pro wrestling came into their lives.  Some might have grown up in the "realistic sport" presentation that territories like the WWWF presented back in the 60s/70s. Others might have been brought up in the late 90s Attitude era Jerry springer/Vince Russo esque offering (uh, The Undertaker and Kane literally existed by then).  It's a weird discussion to have since I and the 3 people that read this, can put out the gazillion things in wrestling that are deemed "unrealistic...

Top 7 Best NXT Takeover Theme Songs.

Everbody likes to put on some good music. You like good music. Your friends and family like good music. However, what makes a song good is completely subjective but in my opinion, NXT are nailing it with their takeover theme songs and I'm ranking them on a glorified subjective form of content and that is list videos/articles or in my case a top seven list. Without further ado, Here are my top seven best NXT takeover theme songs.  7. Serpents by Neck Deep   The reason why I like this song so much is that   it gives me some early 2000s punk rock which by listening to this song, it feels like they're paying a homage to that era. overall a good listen that depending on how old you are will give a nostalgic feel like I did.  6. Ace Of Spades by  Motörhead Now, l like me some Motörhead. Triple H's current theme and the evolution theme song is some of my favourite theme music of all time and this is no exception. The only critique I have for this song ...

Wrestling With Whiteness | A Documentary Sorely Needed.

Here's the thing. My 2 viewers will know that I've been a wrestling fan for 15 plus years but what they do not know is that I've been a Somali (aka a Black Muslim person) my entire life so talking about this documentary is going to be a little more personal, to say the least.  And look, I know this is the part where I insert my usual wit and fart jokes but you're not gonna see less of that because this is a serious topic (and you know it's serious when I mentioned my ethnicity) about representation and the shared struggle across every single black performer featured in this documentary.  From the press release, Wrestling With Whiteness "focuses on sharing the stories of Black folx and their experience in the wrestling community. Using a combination of interviews with Black wrestlers and Black content creators, Wrestling With Whiteness uncovers the unique experiences of Black people in the industry and the rise of representation for performers and fans around th...
