WWE RAW 13/12/21 | A Coherent Review.

Another week, another watered down and downright mid-episode of Monday Night RAW. The show once again, did bring the yawn. A LOT of it, in fact.

Bobby Lashley Wants A Title Opportunity.

The Bob of all Lashleys is added into the WWE championship title picture if he defeats Kevin Owens, Seth Rollins and my man, Big Eoooo Wangston which he eventually did.

Like pretty much all of the white dudes with podcast reviews of Monday Night RAW longer than an AEW Rampage episode, I'm not a fan of the champion taking a pin for the sake of adding someone into a title match.

The word that comes to mind with that booking decision is "uninspiring".

Otis vs Riddle.

In a backstage segment before this match took place, Randall wasn't a fan of Riddle's idea of wearing a light brown blazer with the WWE logo but he did tell Riddle that if he defeats Otis then Randall wouldn't mind Riddle wearing that blazer in the near future.

I'm not gonna lie, I did agree with the first 6 words of that entire description.

Did Riddle defeat the closest thing to a villain from a 90s family movie, Otis? Hell Nah. The big man stood tall at the end by knocking out Riddle and Randy Orton. Cool.

Bianca Belair vs Doudrop.

By far, the best thing about this episode because I really like this match. Those two women had excellent chemistry and I wouldn't mind a rematch based on what happened post-match.

The definition of the word Black Excellence, Bianca Belair, defeated Doudrop with the 450 splash.

After a verbal back and forth, Becky Lynch gave Liv Morgan some damage on one of her arms by stomping her multiple times on the darn steel steps. Why did this segment feel so underwhelming and downright boring?

With both talented women featured, you would think they'll carry this into a somewhat decent segment, right?

Dana Brooke avoided the likes of Tamina, Reggie, R Truth and so on, from taking the 24/7 championship. WHO IN THE RED CHILI POWDER F**KING CARES!?

Finn Balor And Damian Priest vs Dolph Ziggler And Robert Roode.

If you love Distraction finishes then this match is for you. Thanks to Austin Theory, Ziggler and Roode walked out of the arena as the winner. Cool.

Oh, and Vince McMahon gave Austin Theory the most dangerous weapon. No, it's not the ability to come up with incest storylines but rather a pencil.

Rhea Ripley vs Queen Zelina Vega.

A match that should've been one-sided but as the saying goes, nothing is immune to the distraction finish as that's how Ripley lost the match. Cooool.

Yay, Another Miz TV Segment.

Edge ruined Miz's egocentric celebration which led to a skull-crushing finale to Edge after the Rated R superstar stopped the moment Maryse was in front of Miz.

Maryse wasn't a fan of how Miz blindsided her so she simply just slapped the guy.

Who's asking for a feud based on a match you've seen many times on a 2009 episode of Smackdown?

And finally, the last thing that happened in this episode was…………... AJ Styles and Omos are cool now as if they weren't cool in the first place.

So, to recap for all of you slow mofos.

Like: Bianca Belair vs Doudrop.

Didn't like: Another dull, yawn-inducing episode of RAW.

WWE NXT Takeover: XXV | My Coherent Review.

Look guys, I don't need to tell you this. This was a great show. Now, you're probably be asking "if you don't need to tell me this then why are you to quote yourself, TELLING ME THIS!?" Good question but the reason why is because I like to talk about great pro wrestling. Matt Riddle vs Roderick Strong. An absolute must rewatch match for me and a must watch for you guys if you haven't seen it. Match started off with some amateur wrestling style takedown from both guys. Then, Roderick Strong hit a modified back suplex on the ring apron. By then, Riddle hits Strong with a brainbuster. Riddle had the highlight of that match by hitting Strong with a go to sleep (yes, that go to sleep) into a German suplex with a bridge. Roderick hits a powerbomb pin into a Boston crab then the match ends with Riddle delivered with a move that I wish I knew what the name of it was. Street Profits vs The Forgotten Sons (in Steve Cutler and Wesley Blake) vs The Undi...

A Guide On How To Improve Wrestling Criticism.

Now, before you all verbally eat me alive like a hippopotamus (yes hippos eat humans, look that up), understand that I’m just an average dude writing about pro wrestling and doesn’t claim to be an expert in anything and that includes professional wrestling (except cooking. I’m damn good at cooking). However, what I’ve been discovering as a pro wrestling blogger for over a year is that there are some wrestling criticism out there that just make me wanna scratch my head to the point where my hands turn into an electric shaver if that makes sense. For instance, “Why is Ricochet’s trunks red instead of white?” or “Why’s Andrade wearing his Luchador mask for his entrance every week?” In other words, they’re nitpicking and trust me I do that ALL THE TIME in my wrestling reviews. There’s nothing wrong with nitpicking certain things but the difference is that I acknowledge that I’m nitpicking and those guys clearly don’t. There are fans out there on the interweb that b...

WWE Wrestlemania 26 | A Coherent Review.

I've teased a mystery review on my Facebook page (which you can click here to follow us) and that mystery has now been unveiled. It's Wrestlemania 26. This review was delayed and was supposed to be up last Monday but at least is now up. Also, The first draft of this review was 7 pages long so strap in. By far, the longest review on this very website. I thought it would be fitting to review a Wrestlemania from a decade back and how do I feel about it? It was a show that if you watched it, you're most likely going to have a good time. It was a mix of great things but terrible things at the same time as most shows. The 26th edition of Wrestlemania took place in the University of Phoenix Stadium in the Phoenix suburb of Glendale, Arizona on March 28th, 2010. The commentators were Micheal Cole, Jerry Lawler and Matt Striker. Honestly, Striker was pretty good and a far better colour commentator than Lawler was on this show (even today, Lawler is still bleh on commen...
