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 Survivor Series 2018 | My Coherent Review.

Hello, my fellow wrestling fans reading this and welcome to my coherent review for Survivor Series 2018. Overall, it was a very entertaining show throughout with some minor issues and here's why.  (KICK OFF SHOW) Tag team Survivor Series match  This match was a great example of a skippable match until the last moments.  Xavier Woods did the springboard elbow drop and both members of The Revival countered that into a shatter machine which look amazing.  Minutes later, Scott Dawson hit a superplex to Jimmy Uso and an immediate frog splash from Dash Wilder to a near fall.  After that, Both Usos hit a superkick to Dash followed by a Uso splash and just like that, the Smackdown team took the W which WWE wants to forget about that (so stupid). A decent match but with a boring start in my opinion.  (MAIN SHOW) Women’s Survivor Series match  Before the match started when Nia Jax’s music hit, she got volcanic heat from the Los Ang...

WWE Wrestlemania: Backlash 2021 | A Coherent Review.

Wrestlemania: Backlash or as I like to call it, Backlashimania, gets an enthusiastic thumbs up for me. I enjoyed the hell out of this PPV overall.  Images via WWE.com The opening intro was narrated by the greatest of all time, Batista and it was straight badass despite the fact it was pretty much a promotion for Zack Snyder's new film, Army Of The Dead.  If you've read my about page, then you'll know that I ain't talking about Zack Snyder movies because his fans are…… never mind.  Rhea Ripley vs Charlotte Flair vs Asuka For The RAW Women's Championship.  Charlotte with the Cruella De Vil inspired ring gear was to quote Dolph Ziggler's old theme song, "perfection". The opening bout was fast-paced, high octane action that didn't have a slow/dull moment.  All of these women utilized quick grapples and strikes to their advantage.  Charlotte was this close to capturing the title but she was pushed to the outside, nailed the riptide to Asuka and that...

WWE NXT 2.0 16/11/21 | A Coherent Review.

I haven't reviewed NXT in two weeks and holy crap, I didn't miss much at all.  This week's show was BO. RING and I'm trying to make this interesting by adding my lame a** humour and you know you f'd up when I have to rely on my jokes to make this week's NXT discussion somewhat engaging.  Images via WWE.com   Tony D'Angelo vs Dexter Lumis.  The scary white man vs The spicy white man. WHO WILL SURVIVE!?  The answer is my favourite POC wrestler currently, Tony D'Angelo (that joke will never get old).  Johnny Gargano came to check on Dexter Lumis after Camelo Hayes and Trick Williams destroyed Lumis' hand.  Minutes later, all three guys in Dunne, Gargano and Hayes announced a triple threat match for the North American championship.  Should be a good match, is all I'm going to say about that.  Odyssey Jones And Jacket Time vs The Diamond Mine.  First off, Jacket time isn't a good tag team name. It sounds like me as a 5-year-old after wearing ...
