WWE RAW 16/5/22 | A Coherent Review.

Oh boy. The entire situation of Sasha Banks and Naomi walking out is literally the thing people are talking about the show even though it's not a work.

The thing that we all should take away from this is knowing our value and if anybody doesn't see it then to quote Rick Ross, "F**k EM!"

Oh, and RAW was aight, I guess. The thing that I appreciated about the episode is that it had some sense of direction in certain aspects which WWE has lacked for a minute now.

Omos vs Bobby Lashley In A Steel Cage.

My man Bobby is struggling inside a salad steel cage. And so was Cedric as he fell from the top of the cage. Lashley escaped the cage which means Bob the destroyer is the winner.

The match was surprisingly enjoyable.

Mustafa Ali vs Veer Mahaan With Special Guest Referee, The Miz.

Once again, The Miz screwed Mustafa over and as a result, Veer took it as an advantage to tap Ali out and win the whole thing as a result.

When will Mustafa slap the sh*t of Austin Titan over here?

Unfortunately, that didn't happen but what did happen was the Mysterios returning and basically putting down the giant (Segway GOAT right there).

Riddle vs Jimmy Uso.

The almighty Distraction finish is how Jimmy Uso won the match. Pop.

Judgement Day is opening for folks joining their group that looks like a Satanist entity with an alt-right leader.

AJ Styles And Finn Balor vs Los Lotharios.

I should have a feeling of enthusiasm for AJ teaming with Finn Balor but I don't and it feels like it was put together aka their middle name. The babyfaces won the match. Cool.

Kevin Owens isn't a fan of the DNA test since it doesn't prove that Ezekiel is Elias. Damn you, barbecue sauce!

Cody Rhodes Talks About Revolutionary Interviews and Revolutionary Actions.

Did I hear "revolution"? My wise white ally is quoting Fred Hampton. Gotta love it.

Rhodes wanted a Hell In a Cell match between himself and Seth Rollins and Rollings was like, "Aight. Bet."

I don't hate this.

Sonya Deville vs Alexa Bliss.

For the second week in a row, Deville lost to Alexa Bliss. Nice!

R Truth pranked Akira Tozawa into giving him the divorce papers in the purse of the green ugly belt (nice Swerved reference by him).

Also, R Truth and Carmella kinda reunited but that's a different Carmella Truth encountered.

Ezekiel vs Chad Gable.

Kevin Owens insulting the commentators for saying that Cody hasn't competed in 6 years was straight up priceless coming from the prizefighter.

What's Lacey Evans' gimmick now? Megan McCain with camouflage?

Becky Lynch vs Asuka. Winner Faces Bianca Belair For The RAW Women's Championship At Hell In A Cell.

Asuka defeated Becky Lynch in a solid main event encounter.

A distraction finish but this one kinda made sense but the use of the trope was still too much.

So, to recap for all of you slow mofos.

Like: Cody Rhodes quoting Fred Hampton, Kevin Owens on commentary during Ezekiel's match with Gable, Omos vs Bobby Lashley in a steel cage.

Didn't like: overuse of the distraction finish? GOTTA GO!

WWE RAW 1/8/22 | A Coherent Review.

With Triple H making some changes for the overall WWE creative process and the end of the "Jeff Jarrett weekend", I gotta make some changes as well (at least for the site) because this is going to be the last solo RAW review since I'm going to combine both of my thoughts on RAW and Smackdown called "the cohesive WWE perspective". So yeah, how was RAW? Well, It was one of the best episodes I've seen in a VERY long time. I guess no more, " RAW Is as insane and bad as the current season of Riverdale" jokes, right? Becky remembered who she was during her encounter with Bianca Belair. That promo ruled and as a guy that didn't like her heel run all that much since her comeback last year, I gotta say that I'm glad she's going back babyface due to the fact that heel Bex was so vanilla for my liking. After Bianca showed some respect to the man, the new trio known as Io Sky, Dakota Kai and Bayley attacked Becky's injured shoulder. They a...

WWE Wrestlemania 38 Night One | A Coherent Review.

Another year, another BIG, ENORMOUS, HUMONGOUS, THE BBC OF PROFESSIONAL WRESTLING AND MOST STUUUUUPENDOUS Wrestlemania. And how was the first night of Wrestlemania? It was prettay, prettay, pretty good. By far the best Wrestlemania I’ve ever covered in almost 4 years of doing the “wrestling media” grind. So, Elliot Moore narrated this year's opening video and it's decent. Eh, at least it's better than whatever the hell Mile 22 was. The Usos vs Shinsuke Nakamura And Rick Boogs For The SmackDown Tag Team Championship. A solid way to kick off this year's "Endgame" of WWE storytelling. Rick Boogs' knee gave out after a double fireman's carry attempt (get well soon, Ricky). The match ended with a 1D to *Boog's voice* Shinsuke NAKAMURAAAAAAAAAA! The household of the tribal chief must be really happy and no, I'm not referring to the Usos' cooking. This division is as dead as the creativity of WWF 1995 so I don't know where the blue tag be...

WWE Smackdown 26/11/21 | A Coherent Review.

This episode of Smackdown is a great example of the words, "unnoteworthy" and "skip that sh*t" because damn, nothing actually happened here. Images via WWE.com Roman Was Like, "Rumours Give Losers False Hope". That statement above didn't make it clear whether it's about his next challenger or the fact that he's talking sh*t about the folks that wanted all three spidermen in the upcoming No Way Home movie. A pretty minimal opening segment that wasn't too noteworthy but it did solidify the effectiveness of Roman's words. Drew McIntyre And Jeff Hardy vs Happy Corbin And Madcap Moss. Speaking of things that aren't noteworthy. The good guys won. Cool. Ridge Holland vs Cesaro. Nothing screams WWE writing than some good old fashioned 50/50 booking. I will say, those two guys so far, have pretty good chemistry as seen by a good bout. Cesaro won with a roll-up (aka the most protective move in all of professional wrestling). Rick B...
