WWE RAW 3/1/22 | A Coherent Review

It's the first RAW review of 2022 and my 4th year continuing the war in professional wrestling bullsh*t which also kicked off my sad and miserable adulthood.

With that being said, this week's episode was not terrible.

Brocky Brock Reunited With His Well-suited Funky Bunch.

The best part? Lesnar wanted us to acknowledge his Viking roots with his beard and hair.

Paul Heyman went over the challengers for the fatal 4 way number one contender's match (aka the OG OG OG match at last night's day 1 show) in the most Paul Heyman way possible in that he praises you then proceeds to sh*t talk about you kinda like Tony Khan.

Later that night, Bob Lashley was crowned as the winner thanks to the almighty spear.

While I would've preferred a Bobby Lashley and Brock Lesnar match to happen at Wrestlemania, I don't mind seeing it a few months before just because it's been a dream match of mine throughout most of my wrestling fandom.

Paul Heyman's promos are legit a masterclass in improvisational dialogue and his latest promo is no exception.

Oh, and I like babyface Brock. It's like old Brock but without the mariachi band.

RKBRO vs Alpha Academy.

This ain't Monday Night RAW without a rematch. A rematch I do not mind, I guess?

Alpha Academy pinned the tag champs which means a title match because that's how you build your number one contender.

Reggie And Dana Brooke vs Akira Tozawa And Tamina.

That flip pin from Reggie was cool but that's all I can say about this. The champion and the former sommelier wins here.

Becky Lynch Encounters Two Of Her Former Challengers.

Bianca Belair and Liv Morgan wanted a title opportunity which led to a brawl between all 3 women that ended with Becky Lynch standing tall.

Not a fan of Morgan's theme change but I am a fan of a possible triple threat match between all 3 competitors.

And I spoke too soon because Doudrop demanded a RAW women's championship opportunity so the white man, Adam Pearce and his Karen, Sonya Deville made a 3-way match to determine the number one contender for the red women's belt at the Royal Rumble.

Now that sounds like a banger of an encounter.

Rhea Ripley And Nikki A.S.H vs Carmella And Queen Zelina Vega.

Speaking of Monday Night RAW and their rematches. The heels retained the championship. Cool.

As announced days ago, Johnny Knoxville is going to be in the Royal Rumble. Ah, WHO!?

Damian Priest vs Dolph Ziggler For The United States Championship.

Here's a guy I haven't seen in quite some time, Damian Priest. This bout was decent with an ending that we all saw coming because let's face it, Dolph Ziggler continues to be portrayed as the "Halo grunt" of WWE in that he's easily beatable.

A Mixed Tag Team Match Announced Between Edge, Beth Phoenix, The Miz And Maryse.

Ah. Nice. I'm so excited about this (sarcasm of course).

AJ Styles vs Omos.

A one-sided match because Omos' big and strong. You know who's also big and strong. Giant Gonzalez and guess what? he f**king sucks.

So, to recap for all of you slow mofos.

Like: The opening segment, the fatal 4-way match

Didn't like: I guess the announcement of the Edge and Beth Phoenix vs The Miz And Maryse.

WWE NXT Takeover: XXV | My Coherent Review.

Look guys, I don't need to tell you this. This was a great show. Now, you're probably be asking "if you don't need to tell me this then why are you to quote yourself, TELLING ME THIS!?" Good question but the reason why is because I like to talk about great pro wrestling. Matt Riddle vs Roderick Strong. An absolute must rewatch match for me and a must watch for you guys if you haven't seen it. Match started off with some amateur wrestling style takedown from both guys. Then, Roderick Strong hit a modified back suplex on the ring apron. By then, Riddle hits Strong with a brainbuster. Riddle had the highlight of that match by hitting Strong with a go to sleep (yes, that go to sleep) into a German suplex with a bridge. Roderick hits a powerbomb pin into a Boston crab then the match ends with Riddle delivered with a move that I wish I knew what the name of it was. Street Profits vs The Forgotten Sons (in Steve Cutler and Wesley Blake) vs The Undi...

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...

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...
