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 Clash Of Champions 2019 | My Coherent Review.

This Clash of Champions show was one enormous meh. Also, AJ Styles in the pre-show? That's a first but that match was pretty decent as well as the cruiserweight championship match.  Seth Rollins And Braun Strowman vs Dolph Ziggler And Robert Roode For The RAW Tag team Championship.  During this tag team title match, Ziggler hits a devastating looking DDT to Seth Rollins outside the ring. The odd couple then delivered quick tag team moves but moments later Rollins reversed Ziggler's sleeper hold into a falcon arrow to which Rollins tagged Braun Strowman and took out Ziggler and Roode for a bit.  This match has ended with a Glorious DDT from Robert Roode to Seth Rollins after Braun accidentally knocked out Rollins and Ziggler threw the monster among men over the top rope.  A decent opener with a predictable ending that I don't mind. Maybe a triple threat match between the odd couple, The Viking Raiders and The O.C in Gallows and Anderson for the tag ...

WWE NXT 2.0 14/9/21 | A Coherent Review.

NXT 2.0 or as I like to call it, NXT "I'M DIFFERENT" edition.  Let's get the positives out of the way. I like the set and the way it compliments NXT's new water multicolour look. In a world with main roster WWE and its giant screen, the presentation definitely stood out.  The entrance stage set also gave me a bit of a Wrestlemania 27 vibes and because of it, I'm always going to remind myself of that dogsh*t of a PPV so that's definitely a negative.  The main question is, Was the inaugural episode of NXT "third times the charm" edition any good?  Yes. The main thing NXT did right is how they showcase some of the newer faces on the brand.  There were a few head-scratching moments but as a whole, I enjoyed the episode.  Images via WWE.com Bron Breakker vs LA Knight.  We all know that Bron Breakker is an awful name (Bronson Rechsteiner was perfectly fine) but my God, that dude has the LOOK!   I mean, if I had to choose to rebrand myself in WWE, I...

WWE RAW 28/10/19 | My Coherent Review.

Not an enjoyable show like last week's show but it was okay for a typical RAW episode but for a PPV build up, it wasn't good at all.  The Women's Tag Team Champions Opens The Show And….. Paige started off this episode of Monday Night RAW and introduces the Kabuki Warriors which Paige hasn't been on their side for weeks and I'll explain that last comment.  Paige was putting over the warriors and Asuka grabbed her microphone immediately which led to Paige getting her mic back which led to Kairi Sane grabbing Paige's mic. Asuka splits that green mist to Paige to which Becky Lynch came out and brawls with Kairi Sane.  That betrayal from the Kabuki Warriors made a lot of sense considering that Paige didn't benefit them other than being their English spokesperson. Gotta give a big shout out to Paige for selling that green mist without taking a bump. That was great.  Becky Lynch vs Kairi Sane.  That was a very good opener. Kairi Sane reve...
