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!

Top 3 BEST Distraction Finishes EVER!

Distraction endings to a wrestling match in WWE depend on one another if you think about it. It's like the peanut butter and jelly or the chicken and the basmati biryani rice or Dan Lambert and sexism. "Why top 3", you may ask? Because one, I'm different and two, well, I'm different, so be gone to the mofos that think it's shorter than Brock Lesnar's bout with Kofi Kingston. (WARNING: This piece is mostly sarcasm). Daniel Bryan vs Sheamus. Wrestlemania 28. I know this made your eyebrows raise as high as Rocky Maivia but think about this. The kiss from AJ Lee that led to a brogue kick from Sheamus, has in some way, led to the general audience seeing how Daniel Bryan should be WAY higher in the overall arc than where he was at that time. Also, this was also the year where Bryan showed off his comedic chops with his "NO" catchphrase and his tag team run with the big red conservative, Kane. If anything, this distraction finish was a great chara...

NXT Takeover: 30 | A Coherent Review.

NXT Takeovers have delivered greatly throughout the "30 years" of Takeover shows. This one, in my opinion, wasn't it. For a Takeover program, this was disappointing. All of the Takeovers are A's or B's and Takeover 30 was a C at best. At least, I like the stage production set. pictures via WWE.com PRESHOW: Breezango vs Legado De La Fantasma vs Oney Lorcan And Danny Burch. Winner Faces Imperium For The NXT Tag Team Championship. It was a fine match. Joaquin Wilde's ring gear was really cool even though it took a bit out of the seriousness from the Legado De La Fantasma stable. I'm just nitpicking though. Breezango actually won the match and will go on to face Imperium for the tag belts. MAIN SHOW: Finn Balor vs Timothy Thatcher. Timothy Thatcher started off this match with a series of punches which he then later transitioned into various submission moves. Pretty much, Finn has no choice but to adapt to...

WWE RAW 28/2/22 | A Coherent Review.

Another week, another episode of Monday Night RAW aka a 2 hour podcast for an angry bearded white guy. Kevin Owens and Seth Rollins spoke with Alpha Academy and……….. It led to a stunner from Kevin Owens to Chad Gable I can't criticize the way Gable says thank you because after all, he's a chad. The segment followed with a decent tag team match between two former rivals and the Academics. And like their dating life, the Alphas took an L here. This is the part where I would be mad at the tag champs getting pinned but those titles, as well as the entire tag division, are so meaningless, I don't have the energy to do so. T-Bar vs Omos. T-Bar lost a match and Omos can't wrestle for sh*ts. In other news, the colour of blood is red. Bianca Belair, Rhea Ripley And Liv Morgan vs Becky Lynch, Doudrop And Nikki A.S.H. Bianca once again proves that she owns all of the EST by leading her team to victory with the KOD on Nikki Ash Ketchum....
