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.

WrestleFest DXB's Fahrenheit 971 | A Coherent W.

  Being a fan of pro wrestling (or any other medium of entertainment) does have its pros and cons when engaging with the industry as a whole.  On one hand, you've witnessed an Eddie Kingston promo that'll make you tear up more than the opening scene of Up.  On the other hand, going to the wrestling subreddit will definitely have you questioning humanity as a whole and the fact that living in an area where a wrestling presence pretty much doesn't exist like a Vince Russo-written storyline that is, you know, GOOD!?  Luckily, the latter retracted my con as a fan because I'm talking about Wrestlefest DXB and their latest joint, "971 Fahrenheit".  Martin Bushby of now Post Wrestling Alumni brought the event to my attention because like a wrestler on an episode of RAW I get distracted all the time.  So, I decided to take a short journey to a taxi then a bus then a train then a 30-minute walk to the show itself and I know I'm going to sound biased as f**k but I l...

Let's Talk About The White Rabbit In The Room.

I haven't reviewed last year's show mainly because it was so good and clearly as extreme as any ECW match and I'm happy to tell all 3 of y'all that this one is better by several inches or so. Why? *slaps my bald head* HERE'S WHY. The opening match between Sheamus and Gunther's crew ruled harder than the Mongolian empire.  It was basically an enhanced version of Sheamus' match with Gunther last night on Smackdown and I loved it.  The Brawling Brutes' victory means one thing that is clearly obvious, a rematch between Sheamus and Gunther for the intercontinental championship aka the only series of rematches I don't mind.  Ronda Rousey and Liv Morgan delivered in what was a wrestling match equivalent to the X-Men Dark Phoenix movie.  While Bianca Belair and Bayley had their equivalent to the first Iron Man movie in that it was decent.  Drew McIntyre and Karrion Kross had an okay edition of the "Meaty men slapping meat".  That spear from Edge to...

A Few Thoughts On RAW And Smackdown: RAW wasn't GREAT!?

  Since this blog will be less of a priority now considering I'm focusing on my podcast now (hit the 5 stars on Apple Podcast you sons of b*tches), I decided to share my few thoughts on RAW, Smackdown, I guess?  Smackdown.  The blue brand delivered yet another good episode this week and it's probably due to the fact that Braun Strowman taking out the Maximum Model is high-key funny as f**k.  The folks over at Titan Towers are bringing back the essence of their characters whether it's Kevin Owens, Shayna Baszler or in this case, Big Braun himself.   As a fan, you gotta love it, especially since in the case of Strowman, the dude hasn't been the same since he turned heel 4 years ago when feuding with Roman Reigns for the universal title.   Other noteworthy segments include Logan Paul challenging Roman Reigns for the big world universal multiverse galactic cinematic championship.  Imagine they pulled that match off 7 years ago back when Logan was on V...
