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!

My Coherent Wrestling Wednesdays: Chris Jericho Offers Moxley To Join Inner Circle, The Go-Home Show Before Dec 18th.

I thought the middle act of AEW Dynamite suffered some pacing issues even though it was overall a much stronger show than last week's episode.  The latest episode of NXT, however, has built a solid foundation on what's to come on December 18th. The main question is, which show do I like better? The answer is AEW.  NXT  Highlights. Angel Garza vs Lio Rush For The NXT Cruiserweight Championship.  Was this match better than their first encounter? Like Snoop Dogg's verse in Sasha Banks' theme song, "Hell yea". Garza slams Rush hard on the ring apron by pushing the champ. Moments later, Garza delivers the Spanish Fly and Rush kicked out of that.  As Rush hits the frog splash, the champ wanted to pull him back in the middle of the ring but instead, he ripped off Garza's pants (nice attention to detail).  Angel then hits the wind clipper but Lio kicked out which led to a wind clipper submission and the man of the hour tapped out which m...

The 5 News Week: An Interview With ROH's Eli Isom, Fans Singing Petitions For Charlotte Flair Not Winning Titles Anymore!?

Hello, my fellow wrestling fans and welcome to the 5 news week. The post where I report 5 major or minor news of the week that I don't have time to do it separately. Without further ado, here are the 5 news week. An Interview With ROH's Eli Isom.  Yes. After several and several and several of The 5 News Week articles that I've been putting out since late 2018, I finally got an interview for you guys.  The person in question is Ring Of Honour's Eli Isom. Since graduating from the ROH Dojo, Isom has worked and learned from the absolute best in the industry:  "I’m lucky that I got a chance to train from scratch with ROH, without that kind of training who knows where I’d be right now." So, without further ado, here is the conversation I had with Eli.  Omar: My first question is, how would you describe the persona of "Eli Isom" to resident WWE shills like myself? Eli Isom: For me, my wrestling persona isn’t too far off from who I real...

A Brief Guide To Pro Wrestling Websites.

So. You just become a fan of pro wrestling and have dabbled into the fandom for a bit (it's a mess ain't it?) You've just followed some news sites' social media platforms but aren't sure whether the articles they put out are accurate or not.  Well, you got the right guy to solve that problem if it's from a blog that barely gets any traction (that would be me in case you were confused).  The news we get from the medium that is pro wrestling is an integral part of the online space.  The reason being is that it's not only a great conversation starter but you could also learn something new today about the industry you love.  That doesn't mean that all of the news you see on the timeline is reliable.  I'm here to hopefully give you a guide to wrestling sites.  There are many wrestling websites out there but I wanna highlight some of the notable ones.  Okay? Here we go.  #1: Wrestling Observer Newsletter aka F4WOnline.  I can't talk about a guide t...
