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.

THE Coherent AEW Take: I Ain't Tellin' You No Lie, The Hook Brings You Back

PAGE AND BRYAN! HOOK! HOOK! HOOK! PAGE AND BRYAN! HOOK! HOOK! HOOK!  That's it. That's the intro.  Rampage.   Highlights.  HOOOOOOOOK!  I mean, I gotta support the man himself named Hook, DUHHH!  What can I say, I like a man that is built different, quick, agile and hard……..in professional wrestling, of course.  Suffice to say, Hook does something that Kalya Braxton doesn't and that is, making all biracials proud.  FTR vs Lucha Brothers for the AEW world tag team championship Two of the best tag teams I've ever witnessed as a wrestling fan (yes, they're THAT darn good) battling it out in an opening match so banging, not even your Beats headphone can replicate it, ya feel me?  The Lucha Brothers get to walk out of this episode of Rampage still as the reigning world tag champs.  Some Other Things That Happened.  Adam Cole defeated Wheeler Yuta - Adam Cole appreciation comment.  Dynamite.  Highlights.  Hangman Page...

Escape The Undertaker | A Short Coherent Review.

The internet. The only place where your YouTube recommended is filled with "I DON'T EVEN KNOW THAT'S PG".  It is also home to Netflix which released an interactive movie produced by future Raspberry award-winning movie studio, WWE films. Look, the idea of 3 black dudes being trapped inside a house by a white conservative dead hog, is offensive and by that description alone, you weren't sure for a sec whether you were watching Netflix or the Daily Wire.  Luckily, there wasn't a cameo from Tessa Blanchard so you should be fine.  As a fan of Mass Effect 2, I love some dialogue trees that alter the events of a movie/game.  And, from a functionality standpoint, it is a technical marvel how it gives the audience the illusion of choice (you know, like our current economic system).  I say "illusion" because therein lies the main problem I have with the film. Your choices don't matter here. Even in a WWE movie, they're still trying to avoid the fan...

WWE Smackdown Live 11/9/18 | My Coherent Review.

Smackdown live was overall a good show. Why you ask? Well, I'm gonna tell you what's good, what's ok and what's bad. Here we go.  WHAT'S GOOD Jeff Hardy vs Shinsuke Nakamura The promo before this was okay however that was a goooood match. Better than their in counter at SummerSlam. Jeff was about to beat Nakamura, however, randy outta nowhere pushes hardy on the outside hence Nakamura retains the championship and Jeff wins via DQ. They had a brawl that was better than the brawl last night on RAW I'll tell you that much.  Samoa Joe telling a bedtime story in a good not boring way.   I thought from the editing to the design of the book to the way Samoa Joe express the story was fantastic. The thing I LOVE about this is that it's a outside in the box type of promo package that worked. Man, I can't wait for this match. On Sunday night when the PPV airs, I think I'm gonna call my local "WENDYYYS" (My goodness that was awfu...
