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.

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...

WWE RAW 18/1/21 | A Coherent Review.

Was this episode terrible? No, but that doesn't mean it was great either.  It was in the "meh" side of things.  Images via WWE.com Randy Orton WITH A LUCHADOR MASK!?  The episode started off with Randy Orton wearing a luchador mask because Bliss burned the dude's face last week.  Orton cut a promo about fire and the Royal Rumble match.  "Somebody give this man an Oscar", said Vince McMahon probably after seeing that segment. It was an okay segment.  Lacey Evans was defending her alliance with Ric Flair in an interview with Charly Caruso (Thank God, I didn't say "relationship" instead of alliance).  Charlotte Flair vs Peyton Royce.  Despite some shenanigans between Charlotte Flair, her father Ric and Lacey Evans, the queen won the match with the figure eight and didn't let go of the hold after the match ended.  This entire angle is a no for me, guys.  Bobby Lashley stomped on Riddle's leg.   If I'm not mistaken, I've never seen ...

WWE Hell In A Cell 2020 | A Coherent Review.

WWE is continuing the streak of shorter PPVs and as a guy that lives overseas, I don't mind WWE doing this even if the fans come back to arenas.   Also, The 2020 edition of Hell In A Cell had a decisive and conclusive ending. Yayyyyyy!  The show itself was okay but it did have its moments, to say the least.  pictures via WWE.com Roman Reigns vs Jey Uso. Hell In A Cell I Quit Match.  I gotta say.  It is so weird to hear boos that WWE adds in the background for Roman Reigns given the history they've had in altering actual boos from the crowd many years ago.  It is also weird for WWE to open this show with a match that main evented the previous PPV. The question is, was it worth it? Heck yeah, dude.  Both men hit each other's finishers not once but twice and it wasn't enough for Reigns and Jey Uso to quit.  At one point, the match was turned into a strap match of some sort because Roman and Jey tied themselves with that strap. Jey used the strap...
