WWE Wrestlemania 38 Night Two | A Coherent Review.

Like last year's mania, night 1 kicked things off in ways so exciting, I'll bet it made Mark Wahlberg smile. That is as rare as an Undertaker match since 2010 till his retirement.

Did the second and final night deliver or was it a stinker like the RAWs of 2021? It started off hot but it dragged on to the point where I yawned harder than a lion in a national geography documentary (keep in mind, I slept for 9 hours yesterday).


Triple H opened night 2 of Wrestlemania and for a sec, my clearly intelligent petersonian brain thought, "is he gonna wrestle?" There's a reason why I'm a f**king nobody. 

RKBRO vs Alpha Academy vs The Street Profits For The RAW Tag Team Championship. 

This opening match ruled harder than any emperor in Game Of Thrones or something. After many near falls from all three teams, the current tag team champions get to keep the titles with an RKO from mid-air to Chad Gable. 

RKBRO and The Street Profits wanted Gabe Stevenson to join in the fun but fellow Olympian, Chad Gable ruined the entire process and was like, "ah, no THANK YOUUUUUUU!" 

So, Gable was tossed out by the man they call Gabe. 

Am I the only one who isn't too high on Gabe Stevenson? My man has been hyped up in several months than Dolph Ziggler has been throughout his career. 

Will see what he brings to the table on the red brand but for now, I really don't care about this guy just because he has a gold medal. 

Bobby Lashley vs Omos. 

All I can say is, it was a match. And to my surprise, the almighty Bob defeated the big man with the spear. 

That finish was so sudden, it made you question what was the point of protecting Omos for a year now. It's WWE after all, nothing makes sense around here. 

Johnny Knoxville vs Sami Zayn In An Anything Goes Match. 

I went from cringing at the thought of this match to laughing hysterically throughout the entire match. It's like watching an Adam Sandler comedy in the sense that you don't want to admit that it's funny even though it is. 

Pat McAfee's commentary made this match even funnier. Johnny Knoxville defeated Sami Zayn thanks to a huge mousetrap. 

Sasha Banks And Naomi vs Liv Morgan And Rhea Ripley vs Natalya And Shayna Baszler vs Queen Zelina Vega And Carmella For The WWE Women's Tag Team Championship. 

Liv Morgan dressed as Catwoman from the Catwoman movie. A film I desperately want to forget since it was a movie so bad, it's probably because they had 20 different writers, you know, like the WWE creative team. 

To the shock and awe of no one, the team of Sasha Banks and Naomi became the women's tag team champions with an electric chair drop into a code breaker of sorts which looked cool not gonna lie. 

AJ Styles vs Edge. 

A match that every mark like myself was looking forward to and yet, it was WAY too slow and downright boring for ya boy. 

Yes, people. I live in a world where Johnny Knoxville had a better match than Edge and AJ Styles. 

This ain't a WWE match without a distraction finish as Damian Priest distracted AJ Styles so that the Rated R superstar could hit the spear from mid-air. 

The match may suck but that alliance between Edge and Damian Priest? I'm digging it.

The New Day vs Ridge Holland And Sheamus. 

At least it was short. The team of Ridge Holland and Sheamus defeated the New Day thanks to the big bruf hitting the Northern Grit to Xavier Woods.  

Pat McAfee vs Austin Theory. 

Michael Cole channelled his inner 2003 self because damn, that guy is sorely missed. 

You know Pat McAfee is a great sh*t talker when he's commentating while he's beating the pedo out of Austin Theory at the same time. Gotta love it. 

And you bet I LOOOOOOOVE when McAfee won the match by reversing the A-Town Down into a roll-up aka the most protected move in wrestling today. 

But.......

Vince McMahon was like, "Nah, I don't like this. So, I'm going to wrestle you" and that's exactly what happened. To which ya boy screamed, "PISS BREAK!" 

To add insult to injury, McMahon then kicked McAfee with a ball to win the match. 

However, Steve Austin came to the rescue and delivered a stunner to both McMahon, Theory and later, McAfee. 

McMahon or even Steve Austin for that matter didn't add anything to this scene (Speaking of which, that stunner from Stone Cold to Vince was just all kinds of constipated inducing sh*t). 

You can clearly tell they were filling time because the second half of the entire thing was one big waste of time.

Roman Reigns vs Brock Lesnar For Both The WWE And The Universal Championship. 

The third Wrestlemania main event between the tribal chief and the beast incarnate and it was fine. 

Just like his Shield brother Seth Rollins 3 years ago, Roman Reigns slayed the beast at Wrestlemania to win both the universal and WWE championship. 

Is this a way for the brand split to officially end later down the line once and for all? 

Where does the unified title scene go from here? To use a cliche answer, "will see what happens" 

So, to recap for all of you slow mofos. 

Like: Stan Pat McAfee forever, Johnny Knoxville vs Sami Zayn, the RAW tag team championship triple threat match. 

Didn't like: Omos losing made his entire arc of not losing kinda meaningless, AJ Styles vs Edge kinda sucked, the whole Pat McAfee, Austin Theory, Vince McMahon, Steve Austin segment dragged on.

WWE Clash Of Champions 2019 | My Coherent Review.

This Clash of Champions show was one enormous meh. Also, AJ Styles in the pre-show? That's a first but that match was pretty decent as well as the cruiserweight championship match.  Seth Rollins And Braun Strowman vs Dolph Ziggler And Robert Roode For The RAW Tag team Championship.  During this tag team title match, Ziggler hits a devastating looking DDT to Seth Rollins outside the ring. The odd couple then delivered quick tag team moves but moments later Rollins reversed Ziggler's sleeper hold into a falcon arrow to which Rollins tagged Braun Strowman and took out Ziggler and Roode for a bit.  This match has ended with a Glorious DDT from Robert Roode to Seth Rollins after Braun accidentally knocked out Rollins and Ziggler threw the monster among men over the top rope.  A decent opener with a predictable ending that I don't mind. Maybe a triple threat match between the odd couple, The Viking Raiders and The O.C in Gallows and Anderson for the tag ...

People Over at FOX Are Not Too Happy With WWE's Entertainment Aspect.

Now if you have been living under a huge rock, you know that WWE has indeed signed a 5 year 1 billion dollar deal from FOX and a wrestling show is not the only thing that FOX wants. From Dave Meltzer's recent observer newsletter , FOX wants WWE to give more of a serious/sports like feel into their programming considering that FOX are planning to have a "sports block" throughout the weekend from Thursday until Sunday.  FOX are also planning to air the NFL on that "sports block" on Thursday, to air Smackdown Live on Friday and wants to promote Smackdown Live during their sport shows but in order for that to happen they [WWE] need to change their way of storytelling.  What do I think of this? FOX like any networks has their perspective on which number considers a lower rating and which number considers a higher rating if that makes sense and I say this because several months ago, FOX cancelled a show called Lucifer which gets anywhere between 3 to 4...

WWE Smackdown 25/10/19 | My Coherent Review.

Another disappointing episode of Friday night Smackdown but it was a bit better this week. Still, a meh episode.  Miz TV. Special Guest, Team Hulk Hogan And Team Ric Flair.  Both team Hulk Hogan and team Flair were guests on the latest edition of Miz TV or at least most of it due to a brand split. Hulk Hogan mentioned in his promo that he's put out the greatest team Hulkamania of all time (are the mega powers and Brutus Beefcake a joke to you brother?)  Ric Flair replied by basically saying that his team will beat Hogan's team at Crown Jewel. Sami Zayn made a short joke and Gable tells Zayn that he embraces who he is.  Roman Reigns called King Corbin stupid to which Hogan proposed a match in the main event of this episode between most of team Hogan vs most of team Flair in a 6 man tag team match.  Sami on behalf of the team, refused to accept that but after Hogan said something to Nakamura in Japanese, Sami told Hogan that the 6 man tag ma...
