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".

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...

WWE Smackdown 14/1/22 | A Coherent Review.

WOAH, WOOOOOAH *Insert drums* BURN IT DOWN *insert more drums* Don't know why I just quoted Seth Rollins' theme song. Probably because I'm bored and have nothing else better to do on a Saturday afternoon (which explains the Smackdown review).  Now, how was the show? It was aight.  The Viking Raiders vs Angel And Humberto Carrillo vs Jinder Mahal And Shank vs Mansoor And Cesaro. Winner Gets A Blue Tag Belt Opportunity.  The best part about all of this was The Usos introduction of all 4 members. Gotta say, they're pretty natural at this and wouldn't mind them doing ring announcing full time.  The only thing they should avoid is threatening somebody with WWE lawyers.  The Viking Raiders won the whole thing and all I can say is, finally! No more Viking Raiders vs Happy Corbin and Madcap Moss matches.  Why WWE Be Messing With Sami Like That!?  That "InZayn" stunt show is sad to watch. He should've been doing so much better than trying to do knockoff Jacka**...

WWE NXT 17/7/19 | My Coherent Review.

I didn't feel anything about this show overall besides one very good match and an impactful debut. Here's why.  Matt Riddle vs Arturo Ruas.  Those two guys have a background in MMA so it was really interesting as to how the match turned out. Started out with some technical wrestling which if you've been a follower of this blog then you'll know how much I LOVE technical submission wrestling.   The match ended with Matt Riddle delivering a series of rights and the ref stopped it which means that Matt won the match. After that, a masked man revealed as Killan Dan was beating the crap out of him and it was so bad that Mauro Ranallo screamed "Mamma Mia" on top of his lungs which is pretty rare. I actually really liked this. It's a different way to debut somebody and insert that person quickly in a feud instead of having that superstar wrestle in so many squash matches which I don't mind if they went in that route.  The Street Profits ...
