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 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...

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...

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...
