WWE RAW 21/3/22 | A Coherent Review.

 We’re a few weeks till the so-called, “show of shows” and this has been by far, the weakest build I’ve ever covered. It’s so bad, I'll bet your "MyGm" playthrough in 2K22 had a better build. 

And this episode proved my point. It isn’t the worst RAW I’ve seen but it’s definitely one of the most mediocre ones out there. 

At least Veer is finally COMING! My man should talk to Sean Ross Sapp for a blue chew sample because it took him forever to come. 

Kevin Baldwens!? 

BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO! THAT WAS AWFUL! 

Owens, dressed as the rattlesnake himself, decided to mess with the audience by mocking Steve Austin (and no, it's not because Austin is apparently a fan of the Backstreet boys). 

I will give Kevin credit here. He's trying to make this arc work but honestly, I'm not a fan of the execution mainly because the rivalry will lead to one big talk show segment at WrestleMania and NOTHING ELSE (could be wrong though). 

Seth Rollins Wanted Styles To Take His Spot In FACING Edge And……….. 

The phenomenal flat-earther said, "face me b*tch" and that's exactly what happened. 

Edge nailed AJ with a chair shot on his back which led to the match ending in a DQ and Sethy literally tore everything that was around him out of frustration. 

There are two things that interest me about this year's Wrestlemania. The obvious one is Styles vs Edge. The second interesting thing, however, is Seth Rollins' "directionless" angle and how he wants to contribute to the biggest spectacle in pro wrestling. 

It's surprisingly a rare story being told but it's also a simple one too based totally in reality due to the fact that drippy Jesus got nothing going on for Titan Tower's biggest show of the year. 

Rey And Dominik Mysterio vs Robert Roode And Dolph Ziggler. 

Dolph Ziggler has gotten the "mid" treatment for so long, I just found out that the guy is currently an NXT champion aka the least noteworthy NXT champion since Bo Dallas. 

After the Mysterios won the match, your boy Mike ripped off Rey's mask. In other words, "a heel takes off Rey Mysterio's mask and becomes obsessed with it" cliche. 

Cool. 

Omos vs Apollo Crews And Commander Azeez. 

Remember when Apollo got a bit of a push a year or so ago? Yea, WWE wants you to forget about it so Whatculture includes that in their "ten things WWE want you to forget about Apollo Crews". 

Omos destroyed these dudes with a double chokeslam. 

In a backstage segment, Zelina Vega slapped Carmella was like, "focus on us, B*TCH!" By the way, if you wanna portray Carmella like that, at least get her a phone that isn't 7 years old (I'm sarcastically nitpicking). 


Rhea Ripley and Liv Morgan lost to Shayna Baszler and Natalya. Coolinos.

Meanwhile, Becky Lynch cut a pretty good promo basically stating that she'll beat up Bianca Belair (aka if the word "black excellence" was on display). 

RKBRO got a BEA. TING. 

By who? Both The Street Profits and Alpha Academy after Riddle pinned Chad Gable for the victory. Noice! 

Meanwhile, Austin Theory lost to Finnie Baylord due to the good old distraction finish by Pat McAfee. 

Meanwhile, meanwhile, Reginald and Dana Brooke defeated Akira Tozawa and Tamina in what feels like the 20th movie in the Fast And The Furious franchise. 

So, to recap for all of you slow mofos. 

Like: the Seth Rollins arc and Becky Lynch's promo. 

Didn't like: the opening segment, dull a** Wrestlemania build.

The 5 News Week: Yet Another Update Regarding NXT Moving To Tuesdays.

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. Without further ado, here are the 5 news week.   Some Images via wwe.com Leyla Hirsh Signed With AEW All The Way Back In October? Leyla Hirsh is an extraordinary talent that I assumed was signed recently based on the official announcement from the man with a great Bernie Sanders impression, Tony Khan.  However, in a virtual signing for High Spots Wrestling Network , Hirsh revealed that she was signed with the elite brand all the way back in October (shout out to Andrew Thompson of Post Wrestling for the quotes): "I don’t even know if I’m allowed to say any of this but, my first week on Wednesday night, I faced [Hikaru] Shida [on AEW Dark] and that was great and then there was an incident with — there was a match that was supposed to happen with the girls and it didn’t because there was an injury and then th...

The 5 News Week: An Interview With ROH's Eli Isom, Fans Singing Petitions For Charlotte Flair Not Winning Titles Anymore!?

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. Without further ado, here are the 5 news week. An Interview With ROH's Eli Isom.  Yes. After several and several and several of The 5 News Week articles that I've been putting out since late 2018, I finally got an interview for you guys.  The person in question is Ring Of Honour's Eli Isom. Since graduating from the ROH Dojo, Isom has worked and learned from the absolute best in the industry:  "I’m lucky that I got a chance to train from scratch with ROH, without that kind of training who knows where I’d be right now." So, without further ado, here is the conversation I had with Eli.  Omar: My first question is, how would you describe the persona of "Eli Isom" to resident WWE shills like myself? Eli Isom: For me, my wrestling persona isn’t too far off from who I real...

How Naomi's Royal Rumble 2020 Return SHOOK Black Twitter.

If you haven't been watching WWE for 10+ years, well first off, why are you here and secondly, can I be like you because I'm jealous?  Let me recap who Naomi is. She is a wrestler, actor, dancer, singer and a former women's champion who's been with WWE for 10 years.  In other words, Naomi is a future EGOT winner and you cannot tell me otherwise.  Thanks to her persona that resonated with the audience whether as a heel or a babyface, she has built up a following that is "ride or die" for the former funkadactyl aka stans which I am a part of.  Why? Because if there's one thing I have in common with Stan Twitter is that we love to call white people "ageing at the speed of crack".  She may be throwing glow sticks like an early 2010s Ellie Goulding music video, but she's a capable talent that can hang with the best of the best.  But, you read the title. This ain't about a career retrospect about Naomi (although I don't mind doing so), but ...
