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.

WWE NXT Takeover: XXV | My Coherent Review.

Look guys, I don't need to tell you this. This was a great show. Now, you're probably be asking "if you don't need to tell me this then why are you to quote yourself, TELLING ME THIS!?" Good question but the reason why is because I like to talk about great pro wrestling.  Matt Riddle vs Roderick Strong.  An absolute must rewatch match for me and a must watch for you guys if you haven't seen it. Match started off with some amateur wrestling style takedown from both guys.  Then, Roderick Strong hit a modified back suplex on the ring apron. By then, Riddle hits Strong with a brainbuster. Riddle had the highlight of that match by hitting Strong with a go to sleep (yes, that go to sleep) into a German suplex with a bridge.  Roderick hits a powerbomb pin into a Boston crab then the match ends with Riddle delivered with a move that I wish I knew what the name of it was.  Street Profits vs The Forgotten Sons (in Steve Cutler and Wesley Blake) vs The Undi...

WWE Wrestlemania 26 | A Coherent Review.

I've teased a mystery review on my Facebook page (which you can click here to follow us) and that mystery has now been unveiled. It's Wrestlemania 26. This review was delayed and was supposed to be up last Monday but at least is now up. Also, The first draft of this review was 7 pages long so strap in. By far, the longest review on this very website.  I thought it would be fitting to review a Wrestlemania from a decade back and how do I feel about it? It was a show that if you watched it, you're most likely going to have a good time. It was a mix of great things but terrible things at the same time as most shows.  The 26th edition of Wrestlemania took place in the University of Phoenix Stadium in the Phoenix suburb of Glendale, Arizona on March 28th, 2010.  The commentators were Micheal Cole, Jerry Lawler and Matt Striker. Honestly, Striker was pretty good and a far better colour commentator than Lawler was on this show (even today, Lawler is still bleh on commen...

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...
