WWE RAW 24/1/22 | A Coherent Review.

Monday Night RAW had the "it's not bad" type of episode this week. That's it. That's my take on the red white ropes brand. 

Kid Brock Looking Like A Cowboy, Baby! 

Massive apologizes for that headline above that is referring to a man that appreciates his "southern heritage". 

This opening act was an actual weigh-in for both men. The WWE champion also weighs in on how Bob isn't walking out of the Royal as a 2-time champion because Bobby WHO!? 

I enjoyed the way Paul allows Brook Laser to embrace his antics by letting the big man talk. It's actually a fresh way to spice up Heyman and Lesnar's overall chemistry. 

Bianca Belair vs Queen Zelina Vega. 

Why has this match lasted for more than a minute? I have no idea since Belair could've easily defeated one half of the women's tag champion with ease. 

At least the EST won the match with the KOD so that does it, I guess? 

Kevin Owens vs Damian Priest For The United States Championship. 

Finally, some good f**king professional wrestling match! 

Despite some moments of struggle from Priest, the former North American championship managed to retain the championship…….. in a DQ finish.

WWE loves their DQs more than AJ Styles based on that damn commercial almost 2 years ago. 

Rhea Ripley, Dana Brooke And Liv Morgan vs Carmella, Tamina And Nikki A.S.H 

Corey Graves be slandering Bryon Saxton probably because he's happy with being "blacker than Bryon" (which is really the top 3 most nonsensical things I've ever heard in my 22 years of existence). 

The match was forgettable. Rhea Ripley led her team to victory which was followed by a sneak attack by Scottish Homelander? Cool, I guess. 

R K The Bee: Alpha Competition. 

If you can't tell already, this was a spelling bee. Disappointed that they didn't get to spell "iridocyclitis" just for the giggles but whatever. 

The segment was WWE's way of showcasing one of their signature tropes, their lame sense of humour because I thought this was pretty mediocre in my opinion.  

The scene led to a singles match between Randal and Chaddy which saw Pedro Pascal looking mofo hitting the RKO onto Chad Gable to win the match. 

Just when I thought I was done with the BS, we're getting a scooting race scene planned for next week. F**k yes, dude! So excited. 


The "if I can fix her" line was a segment" continues as Alexa Bliss talked about her history with Lily. Meh. 

Austin Theory vs AJ Styles. 

The match was aight. Styles hits the phenomenal forearm to prevail in this encounter. 

On one hand, losing to AJ Styles isn't a bad thing. After all, he is an OG in this business, right? 

On the other hand, once you found out that you lost to a flat earther, that is when your perception has lost into the deepest of the ocean. 

I mean, it is laughable to state that Theory had a perception in the first place but that's a different story. 


Doudrop, like me, is sick of the Beckys out there by trying to beat the hell out of the RAW women's champion that is named Becky Lynch. Now that's what you call a white ally! Keep it up. 

The Street Profits vs Rey And Dominik Mysterio. 

A decent tag team bout.  The win from the Mysterios led to everybody pretending that it's the Royal Rumble match. Cool. 


Seth Rollins is like, "imma show up this Friday on Smackdown". I mean, I too want to leave Monday Night RAW (out of my consciousness for most weeks). 

And the final segment of the evening goes to Edge and his wife, Beth Phoenix, tearing up Miz's celebration with Maryse. It's not bad but that's being said, I still don't care about any of this.

So, to recap for all of you slow mofos. 

Like: The opening segment, Kevin Owens vs Damian Priest 

Didn't like: SHUT THE F**K UP, COREY, The spelling bee segment.

WWE RAW 11/2/19 | My Coherent Review.

This go home show makes me wanna go home if I was an attendance of this show. In other words, RAW wasn't good and here's why.  Opening Segment.  The show started off with The Authority. A stable that I actually don't mind but that a different topic. Anyways, they run down the Elimination Chamber PPV card. After that, The Man Becky Lynch came out and Triple H said that he will lift the suspension if Becky apologizes to both him and Stephanie.    Becky then told Stephanie to shut her face and she refused to apologize. The segment ended with Hunter giving her two choices. Either Becky apologizes to them or Becky's WrestleMania match is off.  Compared to the segments on RAW and Smackdown last week, this was underwhelming.  Sasha and Bayley vs Liv Morgan and Sarah Logan vs Nia Jax and Tamina. Loser enters first in the Elimination Chamber match.  The match was fine. During the match, Bayley delivered two stunners on the ...

Wrestling With Whiteness | A Documentary Sorely Needed.

Here's the thing. My 2 viewers will know that I've been a wrestling fan for 15 plus years but what they do not know is that I've been a Somali (aka a Black Muslim person) my entire life so talking about this documentary is going to be a little more personal, to say the least.  And look, I know this is the part where I insert my usual wit and fart jokes but you're not gonna see less of that because this is a serious topic (and you know it's serious when I mentioned my ethnicity) about representation and the shared struggle across every single black performer featured in this documentary.  From the press release, Wrestling With Whiteness "focuses on sharing the stories of Black folx and their experience in the wrestling community. Using a combination of interviews with Black wrestlers and Black content creators, Wrestling With Whiteness uncovers the unique experiences of Black people in the industry and the rise of representation for performers and fans around th...

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...
