WWE RAW 10/1/22 | A Coherent Review.

You would think because I posted a RAW review early, the episode is actually good, right? 

I yawned twice instead of 4 or 5 times so that's nice, I guess.

Brock and Brocker Walked Near A Tree. At The Rumble, We're Going To See The One Two Three. 


What I was trying to say is that both Lesnar and Lashley interacted with each other for the very first time. And the WWE champion wasted no time to roast Bob (kinda like the Distraction podcast every week). 

Side note, Bobby said before all of this that the Hurt Business is no more to which my question is, why did they reunite the stable several months ago? Just like the Kevin Owens pie incident, we'll never know the answer to that question. 

To confirm that the Hurt Business is DELETED off of their narrative hard drive, Lashley took out both Shelton Benjamin and Cedric Alexander. 

All I can say about it is, utilize your f**king talented performers, world wrestling entertainment! 

RKBRO vs Alpha Academy For The RAW Tag Team Championship. 

The alpha dudes won the RAW tag team championship for the very first time aka the only time in history where the so-called "alphas" actually won something in life. 

Cool. 

The Street Profits And Damian Priest vs Apollo Crews, Dolph Ziggler And Robert Roode. 

The match was aight. The heels win with a zigzag on Angelo Dawkins. 

"Death, taxes and Seth Rollins beats Roman Reigns every single time". 

I mean, true but Big E doesn't believe that, at least when it comes to defeating the man that lost the WWE title last week.  

So, a match happened between the meaty and the drippy (in a good match might I add) and in this case, the swagger prevailed with the stomp.  

WWE knows how to cool the steam off of the performers that recently lost a championship and it's frustrating especially since the creative folks could've done so much better with their reigns as champions. 


Nikki A.S.H said to Rhea Ripley, *Scottish accent* "well f**k off, ya vegemite munching shank" 

If you can't tell with this terrible line of dialogue for a Scottish person, the team of Ripley and Nikki are no more. As a matter of fact, this also signals a heel turn for Nikki A.S.H which I don't know how to feel about yet. 

If they are heading towards a "superhero but very much egotistical" then I'm actually quite interested since I haven't seen that side of Nikki before so it should be a decent way to experiment with a character that is one-dimensional. 


Another 24/7 championship shenanigans between Reggie, Dana Brooke, Tamina, R Truth and Akira Tozawa. Nice! Great! Mumtaz! Fantastico! 


Speaking of the jumping Reg man, after he was choked out by Omos because he stood out of the big man's way, Omos squashed a local competitor aka a nicer way of calling someone a jobber (wow! great analysis, Omar). 

This means we're probably going to see the former 24/7 champion and Omos wrestle next week and I couldn't be happier :) 

Edge And Beth Phoenix Presents, "Roasting The Miz". 

That was pretty much the gist of the entire segment other than Maryse walking away from Miz. 

From a feud based on a 2010 match on Smackdown to a mixed tag team match at the end of that year because nothing happens in December. 

Cooool. 


So, Grayson Waller ended AJ Styles' match with Austin Theory via a DQ to promote their match at NXT tomorrow. A show I'm not reviewing anymore so I'll just pretend that I am reviewing NXT and just say the good old sentence, "will see what happens".  

By the way, how come Grayson Waller calls himself a social media guru and yet his social media presence is a lot of "L + ratio + white"? 


Alexa Bliss goes to therapy to heal the traumas of her destroyed ugly a** haunted doll. If "I can fix her" was an entire wrestling segment. 

Bianca Belair vs Doudrop vs Liv Morgan. Winner Faces Becky Lynch For The RAW Women's Championship At The Royal Rumble. 


Becky Lynch got involved in the match which is always a dumb thing for a champion to do. Like, why can't they let the scenario play out? 

It only leads to a multiple person match which decreases the odds of the champion retaining the belt. 

At least the match was good. 

All of that led to Doudrop winning the match and she'll go on to face her fellow Celtic competitor for the RAW women's championship at the Rumble of Royal. 

There's no way in hell it's going to stay as a one on one match between Doudrop and Becky Lynch.

So, to recap for all of you slow mofos. 

Like: Bianca Belair vs Doudrop vs Liv Morgan, Brock doing Brock things, Seth Rollins vs Big E. 

Didn't like: The continuity error regarding the Hurt Business, Becky Lynch doing the "champion interferes in a number one contender's match" cliche.

WrestleFest DXB's Fahrenheit 971 | A Coherent W.

  Being a fan of pro wrestling (or any other medium of entertainment) does have its pros and cons when engaging with the industry as a whole.  On one hand, you've witnessed an Eddie Kingston promo that'll make you tear up more than the opening scene of Up.  On the other hand, going to the wrestling subreddit will definitely have you questioning humanity as a whole and the fact that living in an area where a wrestling presence pretty much doesn't exist like a Vince Russo-written storyline that is, you know, GOOD!?  Luckily, the latter retracted my con as a fan because I'm talking about Wrestlefest DXB and their latest joint, "971 Fahrenheit".  Martin Bushby of now Post Wrestling Alumni brought the event to my attention because like a wrestler on an episode of RAW I get distracted all the time.  So, I decided to take a short journey to a taxi then a bus then a train then a 30-minute walk to the show itself and I know I'm going to sound biased as f**k but I l...

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**...

The 5 News Week: Bret Hart. The Next Guest On Stone Cold's Broken Skull Sessions?, WWE Made How Much From YouTube!?

We're back. Well, I'm back given that I do this all by myself but in any case, The 5 News Week has returned to your feeds wherever ever it may be. In case you're new here, basically, in one article I share the 5 major or minor news of the week. Now, there were a lot of news that I've missed in 3 weeks including a story of a WWE shareholder suing WWE and Vince McMahon (how the hell didn't I report about this?).  I'm rambling on so without further useless explanations, here are the 5 News Week.  Bret Hart. The Next Guest On Stone Cold's Broken Skull Sessions? Steve Austin has interviewed some of the wrestlers he has faced over the years on his Broken Skull Sessions show with the exception of Goldberg other than a few stare downs in a feud that everyone wishes to forget.  Another person that is no stranger to the rattlesnake is the hitman himself Bret Hart and he's reportedly the next guest. From PWInsider and Mike Johnson, Bret was in the City ...
