WWE Royal Rumble 2022 | A Coherent Review.

Royal Rumble 2022. Sponsored by a Logic song from 9 years ago, you know, before his corny arc.

It's my 4th year reviewing the annual Royal Rumble show and so, a question you may be wondering (you weren't but for the sake of it), how does this PP…….excuse me, premium live event hold up compared to the recent Royal Rumble shows?

It was just kinda there. Other than the opening contest, the program didn't do much for me.

Roman Reigns vs Seth Rollins For The Universal Championship.

What a way to kick this PLE (doesn't have a ring to it) with this absolute banging of bangers.

While yes, the bout ended via a DQ due to Roman Reigns still locking on the guillotine, the context of the story being told with Rollins wearing the Shield attire and the way the former universal champion disrespected the current universal champion last night, made a whole lot of sense.

In other words, I thought the entire thing was f**king brilliant storytelling if you ask me.

2022 Women's Royal Rumble Match.

I'm not going to describe every single thing that happened in this match because your favourite white-bearded guys got you covered.

Rather, I'll highlight some of the things that happened in this huge encounter. The first of which being that everyone's favourite entrance, Melina showed up and got eliminated quicker than it takes for me to fill my green tea every morning.

Naomi and Susan Deville's rivalry continued here and it was by far, the best thing they've done with this arc so far with Deville eliminating Cameron that led to Naomi eliminating her.

Ivory wanted to make her statement but Ripley had the right to censor her a** by throwing the former women's champion over the top rope. Ivory's living the dream of all Kevin Samuels' viewers with her promo.

As soon as Ronda Rousey made her WWE return, I knew who was going to win the whole thing. Which she eventually did. You mean to tell me that we saw back to back black women Royal Rumble winners?

Gotta love black women succeeding.

Becky Lynch vs Doudrop For The RAW Women's Championship.

WWE went ahead with the one on one match instead of a 4-way match between Bianca Belair, Liv Morgan, Doudrop and Becky Lynch that I thought would happen. Props, I guess?

Becky walked out of St Louis still the RAW women's champion with a handle slam from the top rope.

Brock Lesnar vs Bobby Lashley For The WWE Championship.

Roman Reigns said, "I never forgot you, Brock". Why did I say that?

Well, during the closing moments of the match, Roman speared Lesnar which was followed by Heyman giving Reigns the WWE title and nailed it on Brock's head.

That gave Bob an opportunity to pin an unconscious Brock to become a 2 time WWE champion.

I smell a match at Wrestlemania (no f**king sh*t, Omar).

Edge And Beth Phoenix vs The Miz And Maryse.

All 2 of you, know how I feel about this rivalry so I'll not repeat the fact that it's a feud based on a 2010 match on a random Smackdown episode.

The match was kinda okay though. The grit couple prevailed in this mixed tag team encounter with a double glam slam.

2022 Men's Royal Rumble Match.

Not gonna lie, this was the most underwhelming Royal Rumble match I've ever seen. I got nothing to say other than 2 time Brook Laser Royal Rumble winner.

Nice seeing Bad Bunny. For real though, Brocky didn't need the Royal Rumble victory for the simple reason that the match at Wrestlemania for the blue belt has already been established based on the WWE championship bout earlier.

I think an AJ Styles win would've been cool since a Styles and Lashley title match is a fresh match-up.

Another Royal Rumble match victory that should've happened is Big E.

A story of him being blindsided with the fatal 5-way match that led to his title loss only to build his momentum up, could've been great too.

This entire encounter felt so meaningless and unnecessary in its execution which cannot be the case since I'm talking about the freaking Royal Rumble match.

Way to go, laser man!

So, to recap for all of you slow mofos.

Like: Roman Reigns vs Seth Rollins, some of the women's Royal Rumble match surprises.

Didn't like: Men's Royal Rumble match.

THE Coherent AEW Take: I Ain't Tellin' You No Lie, The Hook Brings You Back

PAGE AND BRYAN! HOOK! HOOK! HOOK! PAGE AND BRYAN! HOOK! HOOK! HOOK! That's it. That's the intro. Rampage. Highlights. HOOOOOOOOK! I mean, I gotta support the man himself named Hook, DUHHH! What can I say, I like a man that is built different, quick, agile and hard……..in professional wrestling, of course. Suffice to say, Hook does something that Kalya Braxton doesn't and that is, making all biracials proud. FTR vs Lucha Brothers for the AEW world tag team championship Two of the best tag teams I've ever witnessed as a wrestling fan (yes, they're THAT darn good) battling it out in an opening match so banging, not even your Beats headphone can replicate it, ya feel me? The Lucha Brothers get to walk out of this episode of Rampage still as the reigning world tag champs. Some Other Things That Happened. Adam Cole defeated Wheeler Yuta - Adam Cole appreciation comment. Dynamite. Highlights. Hangman Page...

Escape The Undertaker | A Short Coherent Review.

The internet. The only place where your YouTube recommended is filled with "I DON'T EVEN KNOW THAT'S PG". It is also home to Netflix which released an interactive movie produced by future Raspberry award-winning movie studio, WWE films. Look, the idea of 3 black dudes being trapped inside a house by a white conservative dead hog, is offensive and by that description alone, you weren't sure for a sec whether you were watching Netflix or the Daily Wire. Luckily, there wasn't a cameo from Tessa Blanchard so you should be fine. As a fan of Mass Effect 2, I love some dialogue trees that alter the events of a movie/game. And, from a functionality standpoint, it is a technical marvel how it gives the audience the illusion of choice (you know, like our current economic system). I say "illusion" because therein lies the main problem I have with the film. Your choices don't matter here. Even in a WWE movie, they're still trying to avoid the fan...

WWE Smackdown Live 11/9/18 | My Coherent Review.

Smackdown live was overall a good show. Why you ask? Well, I'm gonna tell you what's good, what's ok and what's bad. Here we go. WHAT'S GOOD Jeff Hardy vs Shinsuke Nakamura The promo before this was okay however that was a goooood match. Better than their in counter at SummerSlam. Jeff was about to beat Nakamura, however, randy outta nowhere pushes hardy on the outside hence Nakamura retains the championship and Jeff wins via DQ. They had a brawl that was better than the brawl last night on RAW I'll tell you that much. Samoa Joe telling a bedtime story in a good not boring way. I thought from the editing to the design of the book to the way Samoa Joe express the story was fantastic. The thing I LOVE about this is that it's a outside in the box type of promo package that worked. Man, I can't wait for this match. On Sunday night when the PPV airs, I think I'm gonna call my local "WENDYYYS" (My goodness that was awfu...
