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 Smackdown 24/4/20 | A Coherent Review.

This week's Smackdown show was decent but it wasn't as strong as the previous weeks and *hits his head a few times* here's why. The New Day Celebrates Their Title Victory. The show kicked off with the now 8th time WWE tag team champions, The New Day and like the title above, they were celebrating their big title win last week (No sh*t, Omar). During the segment, Kofi mentioned that there's nothing wrong with pointing out that they have more title reigns than The Hart Foundation, Edge and Christian, Demolition, The New Age Outlaws etc because it's them being proud of their accomplishments. Out came Lucha House Party, The Miz and John Morrison and they pretty much said that they deserve a title shot. The Forgotten Sons showed up to tell The New Day, Lucha House Party and every other tag team watching that they will never be forgotten. They lived up to that statement as the Forgotten Sons destroyed Lucha House Party and The New Day. ...

WWE RAW 28/12/20 | A Bit Late Coherent Review.

Before I start this review, I wanna say rest in peace to Jon Huber better known as the person behind the character of Luke Harper and Brodie Lee. It was a tough, painful 3 days for the pro wrestling industry and I certainly felt that. If there's one thing I've learned from the number of great stories being told by the people he has worked with is that Jon is a charming, funny and overall a fantastic human being that loves his family. After reading the countless amount of fantastic tribute posts (including from the likes of Molly Belle of Wrestle Inn and Andrew Thompson of Post Wrestling ), that bit about Jon as a family man made me think of my current relationship with my father and the ways I'm trying to improve from my standpoint. I know this is a cheese pizza saying but tell the people you cared about that you love 'em because that line might make their day. So. Thank you, Jon Huber, for being the light that brightens everybody's darkness. Now, Ho...

WWE Smackdown Live 30/10/18 | My Coherent Review.

Smackdown Live yesterday was a skippable show other than the opening segment and match in my opinion. Now usually on my RAW/Smackdown Live review, I break down what's good, what's ok and what's bad. For the first time, I'm only gonna tell you what's ok given that this show was again a skippable show and here we go. WHAT'S OK The opening segment This is the probably one of if not most noteworthy moment this week mainly because as you might know, there were reports going around that John Cena and Daniel Bryan were out of Crown Jewel and the reports are indeed true and it makes sense, especially for John Cena considering that he's an actor now and he needs to maintain his PR status. The segment itself was decent. Loved both guys' intensity and that segment leads to a WWE championship match and speaking of which............. Daniel Bryan vs AJ Styles Decent match. Expected a better from these two but again, decent nevertheless but...
