WWE RAW 28/2/22 | A Coherent Review.

Another week, another episode of Monday Night RAW aka a 2 hour podcast for an angry bearded white guy. 

Kevin Owens and Seth Rollins spoke with Alpha Academy and……….. 

It led to a stunner from Kevin Owens to Chad Gable 

I can't criticize the way Gable says thank you because after all, he's a chad. 

The segment followed with a decent tag team match between two former rivals and the Academics. 

And like their dating life, the Alphas took an L here. 

This is the part where I would be mad at the tag champs getting pinned but those titles, as well as the entire tag division, are so meaningless, I don't have the energy to do so. 

T-Bar vs Omos. 

T-Bar lost a match and Omos can't wrestle for sh*ts. In other news, the colour of blood is red. 

Bianca Belair, Rhea Ripley And Liv Morgan vs Becky Lynch, Doudrop And Nikki A.S.H. 

Bianca once again proves that she owns all of the EST by leading her team to victory with the KOD on Nikki Ash Ketchum. 

Tomasso Ciampa vs Robert Roode. 

Two former NXT champions. Yes, Roode actually did something back in the day that isn't teaming with a guy named Dolph. 

After Ciampa defeated Roode with the most protected move in all of wrestling, the roll-up, the duo that has a name of a Wild Hogs spinoff, decided to make their claim as the best thing (I've heard of that word, click here if you wanna find out) in WWE. 

Ziggler honestly needs a change of scenery so having him appear and be part of a feud on NXT: go crazy on the RGB light edition, is something I would like to see more of. 

A mixed tag team match happened between the 24/7 crew and the only thing I could say about this is, Reggie can gooooooo. 

Rey And Dominik Mysterio vs Shelton Benjamin And Cedric Alexander. 

If I told you several years ago that The Miz would be hyping up Logan Paul like he's Russell Crowe in Gladiator, you'd probably say, "Oh, I could see this happening for real." because that's how much WWE loves developing big-time stars, am I right? 

By the way, I'm not calling Shelton Benjamin and Cedric Alexander as the Hurt Business anymore because that team is, to quote Justin Timberlake, dead and gone. 

You would think that the Mysterios picked up the victory but nope. They lost via a roll up from Benjamin to Dominik aka the only victory of the year for Shelton. 

Nothing screams a build-up to a headline match then by having one of the people participating in said headline match, lose a match. Tale as old as Bernie Sanders. 

I ain't mad at it though because I don't care about the entire feud. 

RKBRO vs Street Profits. 

Hey look, a good tag team match, Playas. The way Montez Ford won the match by landing the frog splash onto Randy's shoulder looked pretty painful so I'm hoping my man is okay.  

Vinnie Mac mentors Austin Theory again. Cool. 

Edge vs AJ Styles at Mania!? SIGN ME UP!

To use twitch chat terminology, POG! POG! POGO! 
 
If you don't understand the hype, well, I don't know what to tell ya other than it's an easy Wrestlemania main event match

As far as Edge turning back to the dark side, I personally don't hate it. It builds up the tension needed for the overall arc to be somewhat engaging from a narrative perspective. 


Speaking of heel turns, Damian Priest is once again, to quote Billie Ellish, a bad guy. The turn stemmed from Priest's US title loss to Finnie Baylord. 

WWE tends to turn someone heel if a babyface isn't too interesting as a character and this is a great example of that. 

The alternative solution is to make their babyfaces, I don't know, more compelling and interesting. In other words, the shift wasn't necessary. 

So, to recap for all of you slow mofos. 

Like: The Street Profits vs RKBRO, EDGE VS AJ STYLES AT WRESTLEMANIA LET'S GOOOOOOO! 

Didn't like: Damian Priest's heel turn (will see what happens since I'll give this a chance).

Roman Reigns Relinquishes The Universal Title Because He Has Leukemia.

I have a sad and unfortunate news to break. Two hours ago on RAW, Roman cut a great promo pretty much stating that he's been living with leukemia for over 11 years and the disease's return forced him to give up the universal championship. The segment ended with both shield members Dean Ambrose and Seth Rollins gave a group hug to Roman and did the triple shield fist pump. Ever since that, fellow WWE superstars reacted to the news on Twitter and here are the tweets so far. An amazing human being, an incredible performer & a man I’m proud to be friends with. My thoughts & prayers are with you & your family. Get well soon, champ! #ThankYouRoman https://t.co/jL1Q5dVvzs — #WOKEN, yet #BROKEN, Matt Hardy (@MATTHARDYBRAND) October 23, 2018 My heart right now ....

WWE Smackdown 14/2/20 | My Coherent Review.

Last night was my 2nd anniversary of pumping out written content on this site and I thought since this show has delivered 6 or sometimes 3 out of 10s for 4 months now, I've written some lyrics about my thoughts on Smackdown in the style of the current song opening for the blue brand.  If you wanna put the instrumental version of ACDC's Are You Ready while reading this then that's cool too.  *Cue the intro* Are you Ready?  Are you ready for mediocrity! Then, get ready for disappointment.  No one needs it.  No one needs it.  No one needs it.   Even Bischoff.  Are you ready for mediocrity! *ends with some guitar solos*.  The lyrics may suck but it is at least better than whatever the hell Justin Bieber meant when he sang his current single "Yummy".  Now, on with the review. The Return Of A Moment Of Bliss (Unlike The Return Of The Dirt Sheets, Nobody Really Cares).  Both Bliss...

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...
