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 Backlash 2020 | A Coherent Review.

Overall, a decent PPV that was highlighted by a few good matches and one greatest match (yea, yea, the pun is worn out already but I just had to). As a tradition on this site, I've not seen the pre-show match, however, I've heard it was solid. Bayley And Sasha Banks vs Alexa Bliss And Nikki Cross vs The IIconics For The Women's Tag Team Championship. A decent opening match of the evening. Peyton Royce did a unique crossbody onto every participant in the match. Moments later, Royce and Billie Kay did their double team move on Sasha Banks but you know who also did a double team move? Nikki Cross and Alexa Bliss with a double team DDT on Peyton Royce. As soon as Bliss hits the Twisted Bliss on Peyton Royce, Sasha Banks quickly rolled Alexa up for the victory and retained dos straps. The tag team championship reign of the golden role models continues (No sh*t, Omar). Also, I wanna briefly speak on the Alexa Bliss situation....

The 5 News Week: An Interview With Musician John Kiernan.

WE'RE BACK LADIES, GENTLEMEN AND NB! Now, what did I miss from the several week hiatus? *Scrolls down at the news feed* a billionaire said something stupid. Monday Night RAW is still duh and uninspired. Mass release of talent by WWE. So……. Same old sh*t? Figures. For those unaware (pretty much everybody), The 5 News Week is where I showcase 5 major or minor news of the week that I don't have the time to do separately. Without further ado, here are the 5 News Week. An Interview With Musician John Kiernan. I kick things off with an interview from a guy that I'm hoping (as a musician) appreciates Brie Bella's theme song because my music tastes suck, musician John Kiernan. If the name sounds familiar to you, it’s probably because you’re listening to a podcast that loves shouting out the names John “loose cannon” Lopez and ‘Beast Mode” Brock Joseph at the beginning. Kiernan has composed and straight-up killed it in the pro wrestling musi...

Jim Cornette's Opinion On WWE's Deal With FOX.

Jim Cornette recently appeared on Talk Is Jericho about the state of wrestling ( Click here to listen and download the whole thing, it's really good) and talked about a number of topics but the interesting thing about this discussion is his opinion on WWE's deal with FOX. Here's what he had to say (shout out to WrestleZone for the transcript): " Vince just got $2 billion for a TV deal. People are looking at All In, the resurgence of New Japan, and all that, but that’s going to be the most important thing. Now people with platforms are interested in wrestling again. There’s a lot of money in wrestling again. For a while ratings were meh, and they still are, but at the same point $2 billion, how can you argue with that? In 2011, when Sinclair Broadcasting bought Ring of Honor it instantly became the second most watched television program because it was on 60 local stations. That was still a wide gap from WWE, and IMPACT has gone in the other direction becaus...
