WWE RAW After Wrestlemania 38 | A Coherent Review.

The RAW after Wrestlemania where for a while, we're told that we cheer the bad guys and boo the good guys. 

Not gonna lie, last year's RAW after Wrestlemania was one of the worst of all time and I'm happy to tell you that this year's show is nowhere near that. 

That doesn't mean it was spectacular spiderman levels of good, it was just decent for what it was presented. 

Cody Rhodes Is Going To Win Titles As A Thank You To The American Dream As Well As The People. 

The headline pretty much described the entire segment other than the fact that SR The Drip Mane, Seth Rollins interrupted the guy and shook Cody's hands. 

I'll tell you this, it's far better than his Anthony Ogogo promo last year. The more I don't talk about that moment, the happier I'll be.

Sasha Banks And Naomi vs Rhea Ripley And Liv Morgan. If Rhea And Liv Win, They Face Banks And Naomi For The Women's Tag Team Championship. 

Ah, yes. The "beat the champion in order to get a championship match" cliche aka the Smackdown vs RAW Gm Mode booking decision. Unfortunately for the women dressed in black, they lost to the tag team champions with that beautiful electric chair drop into a code breaker. 

A tease of some dissension between Morgan and Ripley and if they do pull off the turn from Rhea then I'm all for it honestly. 

A sight (no pun intended) Edge to Rhea's character can do wonders for the persona.  

Kevin Owens Encounter A Guy Named Ezekiel. 

And no, it isn't the return of Ezekiel Jackson. It's just Elias with a shaved bread and some wrestling trucks which he looks like an enhanced talent from the early 90s or as to call it, Marty Jannetty. 

VEER FINALLY CAME. LET'S GO! 

After The Miz defeated Dominik Mysterio  (shout out to him for that beautiful gear), Veer Mahaan showed up after months of vignettes and gave both the Mysterios a BEATING. Viagra will do wonders for guys. 

The only thing that's missing with Veer Mahaan right now is a theme song remix by Snoop Dogg. 

Other than that, I'll give this a thumbs up. 

Bianca Belair Said, "Screw That Becky Lynch. Y'all Deserve A Better Champion." 

Headline once again describing the entire segment. Nice work, headline! Now, go be snarky over at Fightful.com 

Who's going to be her next challenger? Well, I don't have predictions but I do have hopes. I'm hoping that she and Rhea Ripley would square up at some point. 

Hell,  I'll take a triple threat match between Belair, Ripley and Liv Morgan at Wrestlemania Backlash that will lead to an eventual one on one match. 

Bron Breakker vs Dolph Ziggler For The NXT Championship. 

That match really stood and delivered (BOOOOOOOOOOOO! That was horrible). 

It's been a while since I covered anything regarding NXT (it's been 3 months, Omar! You're acting as if it's been 3 years). 

An odd choice to not air this match on this week's NXT 2.0 but whatever, I guess. 

The breaker of Bron defeated Dolph Ziggler to become the NXT champion.

MVP Turns On His Friend, Bob. 

MVP aligned himself with Omos instead which I'm surprisingly not mad at. 

Omos needs a mouthpiece and Montel is a great choice to fill that role even though I think Omos wrestles as well as Eva Marie and has the charisma of a porn actor. 

Zelina Vega Blamed Carmella For Costing The Women's Tag Team Championship. 

Zelina Vega saying that Corey Graves is a handsome man is as truthful as any announced Wrestlemania attendance numbers. 

After Carmella ran from a beatdown by Vega, She and her partner, Corey Graves, to quote Katy Perry, "kissed and make up".  

Cool. 

Finn Balor And RKBRO vs Austin Theory And The Usos. 

Austin, once again, pinned the US champion which has to lead to a US title match, right? Or is it a way to make both Finn Balor and the US championship irrelevant? 

The Street Profits vs Alpha Academy In A Texas Tornado Match

A decent tag team affair. Montez's frog splash aka from the heavens will never be tiresome. 

A frog splash through a table though? I guess they're going to take my money because that's exactly how the match ended. 

Edge And Damian Priest Took Down The Phenomenal One. 

The duo between Edge and Damian Priest is something I didn't know was a great idea but now I do. Fortunately for the man that they don't want none, the refs stopped Edge from hitting the con-chair-tos to Styles. 

I'm hoping their eventual rematch is, you know, enjoyable this time. 

And the final thing that happened on this show was a Roman Reigns promo, telling the universe to wait till this Friday to witness the next step in his dominant run. 

Eh, at least it was a short and sweet promo. 

So, to recap for all of you slow mofos. 

Like: Edge and Damian Priest are cool, Bron Broke Dolph Ziggler's run as NXT champion, VEER FINALLY CAME! 

Didn't like: The US championship doesn't mean anything at this point, "Corey Graves is a handsome man".

WWE Smackdown 21/1/22 | A Coherent Review.

  Another week, another time Pat McAfee shows me why he's better than Corey Graves. Both in the ring AND on the commentary table.  As far as how I feel about this week's episode, it ain't good, people. It ain't good.  An Image via WWE.com   Sethy Mane Wanted A Tag Partner So….………. That he faces The Usos later in the show and if drippy Jesus wins, 2 out of 3 members of the Bloodline are barred off ringside in the blue title encounter (in case you were wondering, Kevin Owens was Seth's tag partner).  BUTTTTTTTTTTTT! The tribal chief had other ideas. He proposed a pitch where if the "burn it down" man loses the tag match, the Rumble match is gone, FINITO!  Bully Ray probably saw Seth Rollins' uttering Jox Moxley's name and reacted, "HOW DARE YOU!! BLASPHEMY!"  Fortunately for SR The Drip Mane, he got what he wanted via a DQ finish thanks to a superman punch from Roman Reigns. While the ending did protect the tag champs, the consequences of i...

A Few Thoughts On RAW And Smackdown: RAW wasn't GREAT!?

  Since this blog will be less of a priority now considering I'm focusing on my podcast now (hit the 5 stars on Apple Podcast you sons of b*tches), I decided to share my few thoughts on RAW, Smackdown, I guess?  Smackdown.  The blue brand delivered yet another good episode this week and it's probably due to the fact that Braun Strowman taking out the Maximum Model is high-key funny as f**k.  The folks over at Titan Towers are bringing back the essence of their characters whether it's Kevin Owens, Shayna Baszler or in this case, Big Braun himself.   As a fan, you gotta love it, especially since in the case of Strowman, the dude hasn't been the same since he turned heel 4 years ago when feuding with Roman Reigns for the universal title.   Other noteworthy segments include Logan Paul challenging Roman Reigns for the big world universal multiverse galactic cinematic championship.  Imagine they pulled that match off 7 years ago back when Logan was on V...

WWE Smackdown 17/7/20 | A Coherent Review.

This recent instalment of Smackdown was decent.  The women, for the most part, was the standout in this program and it honestly carried the show from a meh to a decent watch.  The show started off with Jeff Hardy and Sheamus talking about the upcoming bar fight which you can scroll down to read my thoughts on it.  Sasha Banks and Bayley Gives Us A New Perspective Of The Word "Greatness".  The so-called "golden role models" were praising their greatness to which Nikki Cross was furious about the way she lost at Extreme Rules.  So, Nikki wanted a rematch for the SmackDown women's championship and Bayley accepted that bout if Nikki faces her best friend, Alexa Bliss to determine the number one contender.  That match started immediately after this segment and it was a good opener.  Bayley and Sasha Banks were entertaining in the commentary as per usual.  When Corey Graves brought the fact that Bayley didn't want t...
