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".

WWE Smackdown 7/2/20 | My Coherent Review.

This episode of Friday night Smackdown was (not counting commercials) an hour and 26 minutes and it felt twice as long. Boy, what a boring show.  The Return Of The Dirt Sheets.  John Morrison and The Miz showed off their cinematic skills for a trailer they've made, a skill that they're still trying to be somewhat good at.  Out came their Super showdown opponent in The New Day and they laughed at the notion of Miz and Morrison capturing the tag team titles from them.  The Usos came out to tell the hosts of the dirt sheets that they'll put them in The Usos Penitentiary but Dolph Ziggler's music distracted The New Day which was an opportunity for Miz and Morrison to hit the tag champs from behind. The segment started off great but it had a lacklustre end to it.  That Dirt Sheets intro narrated by Howard Finkel took me back though to a time that I didn't know what bills were (yes, I'm that young). Good times.  The Usos vs Dolph Zigg...

WWE RAW 3/12/18 | My Coherent Review

It's December everyone and RAW is still awful. Now usually on my reviews, I tell you what's good, what's okay and what's bad. For the first time since I started reviewing Monday Night RAW back in June, I'm going to put every segment and every match on what's bad for obvious reasons. Here we go.  WHAT'S BAD   The opening match of the night The purpose of an opening match is to build excitement for the rest of the show but this did the opposite. I appreciate WWE for going straight to a match instead of a boring, generic and downright formulaic (in a bad way) opening segment but the execution was pretty bad.  This was supposed to be a tag match between Ronda and Natalya vs Nia Jax and Tamina but instead, the Riott Squad came out and they put Natalya through a table on the outside.  Sasha Banks and Bayley vs Mickie James and Alicia Fox What can I say? This was a skippable match. Mickie was going for her DDT finish but ins...

WWE NXT 4/5/21 | A Coherent Review.

  It looks like the Divas era is back based on the time these women get in a wrestling match on the main roster as well as Eva Marie's return (huh? Wrong show? Oh, thank God!).  All lame jokes aside, this week's episode of NXT is apples to spaceships difference between this show and Monday Night BORE (I legit fell asleep while watching the show which is why I didn't post a RAW review yesterday).  Last week's episode wasn't great so it's awesome to witness an improvement.  Images via WWE.com   Leon Ruff vs Isiah Swerve Scott In A Falls Count Anywhere Match.  Leon took a nasty looking knee strike from Swerve Scott minutes into the match.   Swerve Scott delivered his finisher using the barricade and it isn't a surprise when I tell you that it was executed perfectly. Thanks to the debuting AJ Francis, Isiah Swerve Scott nailed his finisher to pick up the victory.  This opening encounter gave me Takeover vibes. In other words, the match was f**kin...
