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).

WWE RAW 30/12/19 | My Coherent Review.

I'm back from a two-week review hiatus and honestly, it was refreshing but this ain't about me. You're here for my thoughts on the final RAW of the 2010s and it was decent until the ending.  I'm still in shock as to what did I just witness. I've not been this shocked from seeing an ending like that probably since watching the movie "Schindler's List".  Kevin Owens Wants To Take Seth Rollins And AOP Down.  Owens in a promo, says that the heel trio are disrespecting Rey Mysterio and shows footage of Mysterio losing the US title to Andrade in a house show even though the luchador wasn't 100%.  Seth Rollins and his friends came out and Kevin Owens immediately tried to attack AOP but that did not fail thanks to Samoa Joe and chaos has ensued to start off RAW.  Charly Caruso showed up to interview Samoa Joe about what AOP and Rollins did to him last week to which a bunch of security guards entered the locker room to get rid of Owens ...

WWE RAW 11/2/19 | My Coherent Review.

This go home show makes me wanna go home if I was an attendance of this show. In other words, RAW wasn't good and here's why.  Opening Segment.  The show started off with The Authority. A stable that I actually don't mind but that a different topic. Anyways, they run down the Elimination Chamber PPV card. After that, The Man Becky Lynch came out and Triple H said that he will lift the suspension if Becky apologizes to both him and Stephanie.    Becky then told Stephanie to shut her face and she refused to apologize. The segment ended with Hunter giving her two choices. Either Becky apologizes to them or Becky's WrestleMania match is off.  Compared to the segments on RAW and Smackdown last week, this was underwhelming.  Sasha and Bayley vs Liv Morgan and Sarah Logan vs Nia Jax and Tamina. Loser enters first in the Elimination Chamber match.  The match was fine. During the match, Bayley delivered two stunners on the ...

WWE NXT 25/5/21 | A Bit Late Coherent Review.

  NXT has once again, produced an engaging, well written, scripted and produced show. Why? Well *slaps his head multiple times* Here's why.  Images via WWE.com   Ember Moon And Shotzi Blackheart vs Raquel Gonzalez And Dakota Kai. The match ended with a win from the good guys to which they immediately got a BEATING from the NXT women's champion.  It is still so weird that Raquel made a u-turn to the good side and her babyface run didn't even last a week.  I will say, the opening contest was pretty good.  In a produced scene, Hit Row wants all of the championship gold. I'm hoping they fulfil the promise real quick because Hit Row is already one of my favourite groups in wrestling.  Speaking of promos, Tommaso Ciampa and Timothy Thatcher simply stated that they wanted to beat the holy hell out of the Grizzled Young Veterans.  Zack Gibson and British Seth Green, James Blake, wanted to move on from Ciampa and Thatcher but they do not want to move on fr...
