WWE RAW 25/4/22 | A Coherent Review.

We all have been saying "RAW Is Bore" for too long and now (at least for this week) it's "RAW Is Decent"?

Legacy Reunion Minus Ted Dibiase.

That was one part of the entire Randy Orton's 20th career anniversary aka the "superstars interrupting a champion" cliche but without the champion in question.

After Kevin Owens, Seth Rollins, Ezekiel and The Usos showed up to the ring, Adam Pearce decided to schedule an 8 man tag team match, playas!

That tag match (which was fun not gonna lie) saw the babyfaces in Cody Rhodes, Randal Keith, Riddal and "2022's Mr America '' Ezekiel as the winners of the bout.

Side note, why was The Usos talking about how they've watched Randy Orton as children like they haven't been with WWE for over 12 years (you know, the pre-career-threatening injury Edge)?

Bianca Belair vs Sonya Deville For The RAW Women's Championship.

A match that I thought would happen two weeks from now but unsurprisingly enough, it did.

Despite the help from Zelina Vega and Carmella, Sonya couldn't capture the championship as the EST of WWE defeated her clean as glass (and slapped the sh*t out of Vega and Carmella in a backstage segment that would make Stephanie McMahon proud).

The way it ended felt like it was supposed to be written for Wrestlemania Backlash. Nevertheless, it was aight.

Another Veer Mahaan Squash Because Why Not?

My man Sam couldn't smoth out a victory over the Indian Gigachad (get it? Smoth? Sam Smothers?)

The Arm Wrestling Contest Between Bobby Lashley And Omos Ended Via…………..

A W for Bob that led to a beating from the big man. A feud that should've been one and done and yet, it isn't.

Reggie And Dana Brooke vs Akira Tozawa And Tamina.

What else can I say about this other than "SKIP" every time the 24/7 championship is involved. Tozawa and Tamina's win was followed by an attempted pin by R Truth to reclaim his green boo. Cool.

Mustafa Ali Returned.

Ali's back from a long hiatus from work while getting paid aka the cast of Friends. Mustafa faced Miz in a match after they had a verbal back and forth during a Miz TV segment. Ali picked up the victory to which he was immediately attacked by Tomasso Ciampa.

First off, Hell Tomasso Ciampa? Sign. Me. Up. Secondly, a Mustafa Ali and Tomasso Ciampa feud? SIGN. ME. UP.

Asuka Made Her Return Interrupting Becky Lynch.

God damn, first, it's Becky Lynch returning after being absent for a few weeks, then it's the returning Asuka and Mustafa Ali? Talk about Return Mania, am I right?

As far as Becky's post Wrestlemania feud possibly being Asuka, I don't mind it since it's been a minute since they faced each other.

Damian Priest vs Finn Balor.

Balor lost a match once again this time by Damian Priest in an okay effort.

Sucks that Finn Balor is just one big enhancement talent.

And the final segment of the evening before the 8 man tag match was a backstage interview in which Rhea Ripley basically pulled an "I'm tired being humble and low key" from Ray J. That was followed by a brawl with Liv Morgan.

Just give me NXT UK, Mae Young Classic 2018 Rhea Ripley and I'll be the happiest person alive.

So, to recap for all of you slow mofos.

Like: All of the returns whether it's Asuka, Becky Lynch and Mustafa Ali, Tomasso Ciampa's heel turn, 8 man tag team match.

Didn't like: Reminder that Finn Balor is an enhancement talent and I hate that, 24/7 sh*t, Bobby Lashley and Omos should've been "one and done".

Will Hobbs. Professional Wrestling's Powerhouse

"What's the most powerful house you can think of? Perhaps a bungalow, something that's low, unshakable, that kinda thing? ” Hey Ew, 2022 Think of the greatest big men in the history of the business. Big Van Vader who represents pure unadulterated aggression that seamlessly benefits his ferocious in-ring style ( see his match with Mitsuharu Misawa for more information). Bam Bam Bigelow who's unpredictability inside the ring like his flying headbutts and moonsaults has made him spectacular to watch. The Undertaker who have built a sense of aura by masterfully marching down the ring, creating anticipation in the process as well as constructing an expression of a man who hates video games and wants “men to be like men” . And then there's Powerhouse Will Hobbs. A man who I believe in years to come is the heir apparent to the throne of “greatest big men in wrestling” and for good reason. Mr “I Break Backs Like Bane” possesses a power that belies his exuberance. Why ...

WWE Smackdown 29/5/20 | A Coherent Review.

Other than the opening act, I thought this was a good effort from the blue brand once again. One other thing that bothered me about this episode was that it lacked some continuation for the universal championship feud other than a highlight clip but I'm just nitpicking. A Car Accident Happened!? The episode started off with a car accident that got Elias badly hurt and Braun Strowman watching all of this unfold, telling Kalya Braxton that he hopes that somebody catches that SOB that did this. The person that was also hurt and was behind was Jeff Hardy and it involved some alcohol in his system. Because of it, Hardy was arrested and taken to a local police station for further investigation. That was my biggest fear for the drinking Hangman Page persona and now, it is Jeff Hardy's story you know, the same guy that had ACTUAL DRUG AND ALCOHOL PROBLEMS IN THE PAST!? This is so wrong in so many ways. Turning someone's person...

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...
