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.

A Guide On How To Improve Wrestling Criticism.

Now, before you all verbally eat me alive like a hippopotamus (yes hippos eat humans, look that up), understand that I’m just an average dude writing about pro wrestling and doesn’t claim to be an expert in anything and that includes professional wrestling (except cooking. I’m damn good at cooking).  However, what I’ve been discovering as a pro wrestling blogger for over a year is that there are some wrestling criticism out there that just make me wanna scratch my head to the point where my hands turn into an electric shaver if that makes sense. For instance, “Why is Ricochet’s trunks red instead of white?” or “Why’s Andrade wearing his Luchador mask for his entrance every week?”  In other words, they’re nitpicking and trust me I do that ALL THE TIME in my wrestling reviews. There’s nothing wrong with nitpicking certain things but the difference is that I acknowledge that I’m nitpicking and those guys clearly don’t.  There are fans out there on the interweb that b...

WWE RAW 30/12/19 | My Coherent Review.

I'm back from a two-week review hiatus and honestly, it was refreshing but this ain't about me. You're here for my thoughts on the final RAW of the 2010s and it was decent until the ending.  I'm still in shock as to what did I just witness. I've not been this shocked from seeing an ending like that probably since watching the movie "Schindler's List".  Kevin Owens Wants To Take Seth Rollins And AOP Down.  Owens in a promo, says that the heel trio are disrespecting Rey Mysterio and shows footage of Mysterio losing the US title to Andrade in a house show even though the luchador wasn't 100%.  Seth Rollins and his friends came out and Kevin Owens immediately tried to attack AOP but that did not fail thanks to Samoa Joe and chaos has ensued to start off RAW.  Charly Caruso showed up to interview Samoa Joe about what AOP and Rollins did to him last week to which a bunch of security guards entered the locker room to get rid of Owens ...

AEW Double Or Nothing | My Coherent Review.

I was supposed to post this review two hours after the show aired but my internet connection went down for several hours and I got extremely frustrated and if you’re addicted to the interwebs, that is probably the scariest thing ever other than your worst fear of course. Anyways, I, unfortunately, haven't watched the two pre-show matches because I was out working. So, the million dollar question, was AEW's Double Or Nothing a great show? I'm happy to announce that it was an outstanding PPV overall. One of the problems I had with ALL IN is the match card placements and they fixed it in this PPV.  Oh, and I'm warning you guys that this PPV review is longer than my Wrestlemania 35 review (which you can click here ) just because a lot of things happened on this show. Unfortunately, I couldn’t find pictures for each match so y’all are only going to see the writing.  Double Or Nothing started off with the Hamilton stars sang the American National anthem (omg, can Ja...
