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 Eyeing On New Creative Writers.

Last week on RAW, The McMahon family announced that there will be new faces and fresh match ups. What better way to invoke change than to seek out new writers with different ideas right?  WWE are actively seeking for new writer's assistant positions with at least two years in writing television and or/ production experience and preferably but not necessary, a degree in Film/TV/Drama, Media Studies, Journalism, Communications, English, or related field of study.  For everyone who thinks they can do it better, here's your opportunity. Merry Christmas! https://t.co/FJch1rOXCM — Jimmy Korderas (@jimmykorderas) December 24, 2018 What do I think of this? As long as Vince is in charge, unfortunately, nothing is going to change for the better of the product but that's just me.  Let me know in the comments on how you would change the WWE product and follow the blog for honest pro wrestling opinions. Anyways, stay safe smarks. 

WWE RAW 13/9/21 | A Coherent Review.

Ya boy took a week off of talking about wrestling which is something I usually need after watching a single episode of Monday Night RAW but consistency is key, people!  In recent weeks, however, Monday Night RAW doesn't feel like mental torture and the latest episode is no exception.  Images via WWE.com Big E Was Like, "I'm Definitely Cashing In My Contract".  The lovable wholesome gyrating big man name Big E interacted with Randy Orton as well as Bobby Lashley ahead of the WWE title match between Bob and Randal.  The reason is obvious. Big E wants to cash in seeing Becky Lynch's mother again (that's not it?).  All lame jokes aside, the big man did cash in the contract to become the NEW WWE champion later in the episode after a successful title defence from Bobby Lashley against Randy Orton.  Words cannot describe how f**king happy I am seeing one of my favourite performers finally capture the gold which was long overdue if you ask me.  I will go as far as to

Top 3 BEST Distraction Finishes EVER!

Distraction endings to a wrestling match in WWE depend on one another if you think about it. It's like the peanut butter and jelly or the chicken and the basmati biryani rice or Dan Lambert and sexism.  "Why top 3", you may ask? Because one, I'm different and two, well, I'm different, so be gone to the mofos that think it's shorter than Brock Lesnar's bout with Kofi Kingston.  (WARNING: This piece is mostly sarcasm).  Daniel Bryan vs Sheamus. Wrestlemania 28.  I know this made your eyebrows raise as high as Rocky Maivia but think about this. The kiss from AJ Lee that led to a brogue kick from Sheamus, has in some way, led to the general audience seeing how Daniel Bryan should be WAY higher in the overall arc than where he was at that time.  Also, this was also the year where Bryan showed off his comedic chops with his "NO" catchphrase and his tag team run with the big red conservative, Kane.  If anything, this distraction finish was a great chara
