WWE RAW 2/5/22 | A Coherent Review.

Holy crap, it's already MAY!? Better yet, Wrestlemania Backlash is next week!? I'm feeling like Dr Manhattan because time is an illusion at this point. Oh, and RAW was like a breeze if that breeze was 3 hours long. 

RKBRO And Drew McIntyre Didn't Acknowledge Roman Reigns. 

A brawl ensued after Roman Reigns uttered the sentence "acknowledge me" which has been the only thing Roman Reigns has said in what feels like an eternity. 

WWE getting rid of their tag title unification for Backlash is a sign that they're saving it for another show or something which screams WWE booking. 

Either way, the writing going into Wrestlemania Backlash is like eating Subway in that it kinda sucks. 

The Street Profits And Ezekiel vs Alpha Academy And Kevin Owens. 

A mediocre backstage segment led to a decent 6 man tag team match, playas! The babyfaces did lose this one but at least, Chad Gable actually pinned somebody for the win, right? 

Veer Mahaan PROVES That He Is Once Again, THE Indian Gigachad. 

Did WWE try to pull a *major sigh*James Ellsworth with that pre-match interview with Bryon Saxton to that jobber?

Yea. I don't care if I'm simping for Veer or not. Can I just like at least one thing about this lame a** episode? 

Edge Insults The Hogs In Greensburg, North Carolina. 

Yea. He did that but he also insulted AJ Styles' intelligence which considering that Styles doesn't mind flat earthers, probably the most accurate thing Edge has ever said. 

To use a sentence you've heard many times, it was a short but sweet promo from the man that based his duo with Damian Priest on that Judgement Day poster from 2009. 

That led to a bout between AJ and Priest and would you know it? Styles took yet another beating from Judgement Day after he won a match. Omos looked at all of this and said, "Stay down, cracker!" 


Nikki A.S.H, you know, a former and I repeat, FORMER RAW women's champion just got inserted in the whole 24/7 championship by winning that green ugly belt over Dana Brooke. 

After Brooke won the title back, Reggie tried to pin her but she wasn't happy with her husband doing that so she wants a divorce. Coooool. 

But, at least Nikki gets to form a Haggis And Scott Connection with Doudrop, right? 

Bobby Lashley vs Cedric Alexander. 

Cedric Alexander talking to MVP about The Hurt Business just made me miss that stable a ton. They were split up way too soon. 

Being the guy that, unfortunately, is stuck in catering, there's no way in Jahannam that Cedric is winning this one and I was right despite the distractions from MVP. 

THE Miz Just Called Mustafa Ali "Moust" On Miz TV 

Aka the whitest thing I've heard all day. Ali does think that both Austin Attack On Titan over here and The Miz talk too much which I'm sure Matthew of Botchmania would love to use as a sound bite. 

A two on one handicap number one contender's match for the US championship was set up between *ugh* Moust, Theory and The Miz. 

The odds were too much for Mustafa Ali as he lost the match with a skull-crushing finale. They're tryna build the whole "sympathetic babyface thing" which I'm not mad at, to be honest. 

Cody Rhodes Had Enough Of Seth Rollins' BS. 

Rollins was probably like, "you're not the white ally you think you are" and that got Cody's nerves. 

All lame jokes aside, Rollins mentioned Cody's father and that's how Cody gave SR The Drip Mane a few lefts and rights. Look guys, I am not looking forward to this "PLE" so please WWE, don't screw up the sequel! 

Becky Lynch, Rhea Ripley And Sonya Deville vs Asuka, Liv Morgan And Bianca Belair. 

Gotta give WWE some credit, they're letting the women showcase themselves in the main event of this episode and the match itself was pretty good in my opinion. 

Liv Morgan led her team to victory which I'm surprised by and now thinking about it, a solid decision by the creative entity. 

So, to recap for all of you slow mofos. 

Like: Veer Mahaan, Edge's promo, the 6 women main event. 

Didn't like: an overall lackluster build for Wrestlemania Backlash, a reminder that the 24/7 championship should be vacated.

AEW Dynamite Blood And Guts | A Coherent Review.

Another watchable episode of AEW Dynamite but this time, it features the first-ever Blood And Guts encounter. Kenny Omega And Michael Nakazawa vs Jon Moxley And Eddie Kingston.  Don Callis announced that Michael Nakazawa is going to face Mox and Kingston all by himself only for Kenny Omega to show up and compete in the match anyway.  A weird booking choice but I'm just nitpicking.  What wasn't weird was how the match ended with a double team dragon suplex into a clothesline from the duo of Mox and Kingston to Nakazawa.  Then, a beatdown ensued from Omega's Posse to Jonny Mox and Eddie Kingston. The Young Bucks vs Jon Moxley and Eddie Kingston? I'm down.  It was revealed later in the night that a number one contenders match for the AEW championship is set up for next week's show between Orange Cassidy and Pac. I'm assuming AEW is saving the Hangman Page and Kenny Omega encounter for All Out?  Either way, AEW has the potential to tell an interesting story of ...

WWE RAW 5/10/20 | A Coherent Review.

I have not said this in a RAW review in a very long time but the show as a whole was straight up dogsh*t awful.  It's so bad that I didn't like one ounce about this program.  pictures via wwe.com Randy Orton Remembers His Match At Clash Of Champions.  The show started off with Randy Orton recalling certain aspects about the WWE championship match at Clash Of Champions.  Orton goes on to say that Drew doesn't deserve the championship because the legends interfered in the ambulance match.  The promo ended with Orton bringing up the fact that he beat up four legends last week on RAW (again, explain the physics behind this?).  Drew showed up and he laid waste on the guy.  Randy has been quite exceptional in the dialogue department but this ain't it.  The promo actually put me to sleep and the show didn't even hit 10 minutes up until that point.  If they suddenly end the rivalry like nothing happened, while it doesn't make sense, I'm all for it be...

WWE NXT UK Takeover: Cardiff | My Coherent Review.

via WWE I don't watch or review the first NXT UK Takeover for some odd reason but I'm so glad I did because that was like the main NXT Takeovers, was absolutely great to watch. I'm just speechless and if you have watched the show then you'll know why (also, if you somehow didn't watch this show, what are you doing? Go and treat yourself with some wrestling goodness.) Noam Dar vs Travis Banks.  A very enjoyable opening match. Noam Dar proves that he's great at what he does with so many submission holes because if you don't know, I'm a technical wrestling connoisseur. Noam Dar won the match with a standing shining wizard.  Cesaro vs Ilja Dragunov. Always great to see Cesaro do what he does best and that's a fight inside the square circle. So, Ilja called out Cesaro because Cesaro's looking for an open challenge and Cesaro obviously picked his challenger.  The Swiss Cyborg started off this match by throwing Dragunov to the outside ...
