WWE RAW Before Wrestlemania 38 | A Coherent Review.


There it is. My 3rd time covering the RAW Before a Wrestlemania and like the previous years, it's pretty skippable and the reviews have the same amount of viewers as every lifetime movie on TV in that nobody watches or really cares about it. 

And how was this week's episode of Monday Night RAW? To my surprise, it was pretty decent honestly. 

Roman Reigns And Brock Lesnar exchanged a battle of the "I'm going to beat you at WrestleMania" line. 

And who won that game? It's Brock obviously due to the way he said, "Welcome to Monday Night RAW" in the way only Lesnar can. Mike Rome looked at that and said, "I need to be the ring announcer that stepped up." 

Both guys did a decent job of hyping this match and there's nothing to go further than that. 

Akira Towaza gave a diamond ring to Tamina signalling a marriage of sorts (no sh*t, Omar) after they took down flippy Reg and his white friend. Cool. 

Rey Mysterio vs The Miz. 

Lucha Logan? More like Booocha Logan, am I right (Omar, imma slap you harder than Will Smith because of that awful pun).

A match that lasted longer than a darn TIK TAK via a roll-up from Rey to Miz. To which, Rey and his son stood tall as he got rid of two guys with the most punchable face currently. 

Sasha Banks, Naomi, Rhea Ripley And Liv Morgan vs Carmella, Zelina Vega, Natalya And Shayna Baszler. 

An 8 women tag team match that had no business being this good. Ripley led her team to victory with the riptide to Zelina Vega. 

Austin Theory vs Ricochet. 

Ricochet got the "local competitor" entrance AS THE INTERCONTINENTAL CHAMPION! 

Not only that, my man lost with ease. I get that Austin has a noteworthy role compared to Ricochet but can't y'all get LITERALLY ANYONE ELSE!? 

Bianca Belair Gave Becky A Bit Of A Haircut. 

Belair cut an Irish person's ginger hair which in this case, might as well be a hate crime (sarcasm of course). 

Omos defeated yet another tag team in The Viking Raiders. 

But then, out came the return of the Bob. No, I'm not talking about Late Night Grin's Robert O'Neil but rather Bobby Lashley and he put the big man down with a quick shoulder tackle. 

Oh, shoot. We just witnessed Omos' first bump. 

Drew McIntyre took a beating from an Unhappy Corbin after McIntyre won a handicap match. 

The headline described it all. Thanks, headline, because I couldn't care less about this entire feud! 

Edge said, "Let me recreate the Judgement day 2009 poster". 

AJ Styles doesn't like Edge's actions towards him and his "a lot of words" which I'll bet the latter is the worst of the two given that he's confused about the fact that they are more words in the English language just like how I'm confused with his views on the planet Earth. 

Chaos ensued from both the RAW and Smackdown tag team champions as well as their challengers. 

The brawl between RKBRO, The Street Profits, Shinsuke Nakamura, Rick Boogs and The Usos happened after the tag match between RKBRO and The Usos ended via a DQ. 

That pick up from Riddle followed by an RKO to Montez Ford was *chef's kiss*. 

So, to recap for all of you slow mofos. 

Like: Brock Lesnar's opening promo, the 8 women tag team match. 

Didn't like: Ricochet as the "local competitor".

The 5 New Week's 2nd Anniversary And What I've Learned From Writing About News.

WHAT? A second 5 News Week article of the week? Preposterous.  The reason why I'm writing this is that 2 years ago to this day, October 28th 2018 was the inaugural 5 News Week piece.  I thought to celebrate this day, I want to share to all of the young, aspiring news writers what I've learned from the 2 years I've been writing pro wrestling news  (which has mostly been WWE news because let's be real, I am the resident WWE shill).  Here we go.  Stock images via pexels.com #1: Research And Fact-Checking.  When approaching a piece of news that comes to your news feed, it is important to research the news piece itself so that you're giving the viewer/reader a context as to what's happening.  Which is why your favourite talk show programs like Last Week Tonight, values their research team to analyze the world around them and what can be done through history.  Another reason as to why research is valuable for information is, of course, fact-checking....

WWE RAW 5/8/19 | My Coherent Review.

This episode of RAW didn't prepare the biggest party of the summer very well and detailed but if I was a party planner, I'll give this a pass.  After the entire WWE paid tribute to the horrific mass shooting in El Paso, Texas and Dayton, Ohio with a ten bell salute, an opening intro has been played for the first time in a year and then, Samoa Joe cut a promo on the announce table shouting loud and clear that he had nothing to do with the end segment last week on SmackDown Live.  That was a different way to open the show and I absolutely love it. Short, quick and to the point.  Becky Lynch and Charlotte Flair vs Natalya and Trish Stratus.  During the match, Natalya locked Lynch in the sharpshooter and not letting go of that hold after Becky caught the middle to break the hold which caused the match to end in a DQ. Trish tried to separate Nattie to which Nattie herself purposely pushed Trish.  Rey Mysterio vs Andrade.  Completely un...

The 5 News Week: What's With The Story Of WWE Will Possibly Put Their Content On A Different OTT?

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.  This past week was filled with news so  fasten your virtual seat belts because this is gonna be a long one. Without further ado, here are The 5 News Week.  What's With The Story That WWE Will Possibly Put Their Content On A Different OTT?  This confusion all started when some fans (including myself) saw the headline from a well-respected publication "WWE In Talks Talks to Sell PPV Rights to Another ‘Major’ Streaming Service." That publication is The Wrap and the article pretty much talked about what Vinne Mac said in the Q4 2019 earnings report about the possibility of putting their content to a major streaming service or enhance the prize point to a tiered payment but the deal to quote The Wrap " if made — would be announced by next month.". Did the old man say this? Let...
