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 5/8/19 | My Coherent Review.

This episode of RAW didn't prepare the biggest party of the summer very well and detailed but if I was a party planner, I'll give this a pass.  After the entire WWE paid tribute to the horrific mass shooting in El Paso, Texas and Dayton, Ohio with a ten bell salute, an opening intro has been played for the first time in a year and then, Samoa Joe cut a promo on the announce table shouting loud and clear that he had nothing to do with the end segment last week on SmackDown Live.  That was a different way to open the show and I absolutely love it. Short, quick and to the point.  Becky Lynch and Charlotte Flair vs Natalya and Trish Stratus.  During the match, Natalya locked Lynch in the sharpshooter and not letting go of that hold after Becky caught the middle to break the hold which caused the match to end in a DQ. Trish tried to separate Nattie to which Nattie herself purposely pushed Trish.  Rey Mysterio vs Andrade.  Completely un...

The 5 New Week's 2nd Anniversary And What I've Learned From Writing About News.

WHAT? A second 5 News Week article of the week? Preposterous.  The reason why I'm writing this is that 2 years ago to this day, October 28th 2018 was the inaugural 5 News Week piece.  I thought to celebrate this day, I want to share to all of the young, aspiring news writers what I've learned from the 2 years I've been writing pro wrestling news  (which has mostly been WWE news because let's be real, I am the resident WWE shill).  Here we go.  Stock images via pexels.com #1: Research And Fact-Checking.  When approaching a piece of news that comes to your news feed, it is important to research the news piece itself so that you're giving the viewer/reader a context as to what's happening.  Which is why your favourite talk show programs like Last Week Tonight, values their research team to analyze the world around them and what can be done through history.  Another reason as to why research is valuable for information is, of course, fact-checking....

The 5 News Week: What's With The Story Of WWE Will Possibly Put Their Content On A Different OTT?

Hello, my fellow wrestling fans and welcome to the 5 news week. The post where I report 5 major or minor news of the week that I don't have time to do it separately.  This past week was filled with news so  fasten your virtual seat belts because this is gonna be a long one. Without further ado, here are The 5 News Week.  What's With The Story That WWE Will Possibly Put Their Content On A Different OTT?  This confusion all started when some fans (including myself) saw the headline from a well-respected publication "WWE In Talks Talks to Sell PPV Rights to Another ‘Major’ Streaming Service." That publication is The Wrap and the article pretty much talked about what Vinne Mac said in the Q4 2019 earnings report about the possibility of putting their content to a major streaming service or enhance the prize point to a tiered payment but the deal to quote The Wrap " if made — would be announced by next month.". Did the old man say this? Let...
