WWE RAW 30/5/22 | A Coherent Review.

Is Hell In A Cell next week? Yes. 

Am I excited about the show? Hell no. 

Does my "productivity" increase while getting paid in pennies? Yes, yes and yes. 

Is this episode really good? Ah…...No. Expect some "cool" and "this match was aight" because nothing really noteworthy happened which is Smackdown's middle name. "The nothing show" with bad creative. 

Bianca Belair vs Asuka. 

Now, you may think that RAW started off with a match (you know, like NXT before the skittles phase) but nope. The show actually began with the usual arrogant Becky promo that led to a brawl between her, Belair and Asuka. 

This is a Wrestlemania main event worthy match and it kinda sucks that it's happening on a random forgettable episode of RAW. However, at least I enjoyed it for what it was. 

Belair's defeat over Asuka was followed by an immediate beatdown from Becky Lynch. 

Ezekiel (or as Kevin Owens would say "Ezekiel") Rey And Dominik Mysterio vs Alpha Academy And Kevin Owens. 

A pretty decent 6 man tag team match, Playas. The babyfaces won the match with a double 619 followed by a suplex position into a drift away by Ezekiel to Chad Gable. 

Cody Rhodes Physically DESTROYED Seth Rollins Over His Constant Use Of the Word, "Drip". 

Rhodes. The TRUE man of the people. 

For real though, this entire segment was basically one huge brawl. 

Alexa Bliss vs Doudrop. 

Once again, Alexa Bliss won a match with the twisted bliss. 

Bliss has been winning so much, Goldberg would be jealous by now. 

24/7 Shenanigans Meets Miz TV. A Recipe For A Horrible Segment. 

I will say, having the Street Profits watching the mess unfold was pretty funny, not gonna lie. 

Tozawa kissed Tamina to a 24/7 championship victory. Why? I have no idea.

Mustafa Ali vs Ciampa. 

I'll take this match as a rivalry over Ali and Austin Theory. This ain't a Monday Night RAW episode without a DQ finish and that's exactly what happened here. 

Post-match saw The US champion give Ali a beating mainly because Ali doesn't look like a f**king Attack On Titan character. 

Theory used that as a way to conduct an impromptu US championship immediately after that beating and guess who won the whole thing? 

Don't need to answer this because it's the "beaten up babyface is in a match immediately and loses" cliche. 

Oh, and a rematch is happening next week. Al Cool Bin Tamam. 

Riddle And Shinsuke Nakamura vs The Usos. Championship Contender's Match.

I see WWE is deploying the GM mode booking tactic by having the number one contender face the champion before their PPV encounter. 

It didn't make The Usos the brightest ones of the Bloodline as they disqualified themselves leading to a championship match. 

You can't say WWE isn't innovative by executing a rare dumb heel move. 

Rhea Ripley vs Liv Morgan. 

Liv Morgan wins the bout which led to a brawl between The Judgment Day stable, AJ Styles, Finnie Baylord and the aforementioned, Liv Morgan. Coolirnos. 

Bobby Lashley's Contract Signing With MVP And Omos Ended With A Brawl. 

Another brawl? This is Monday Night RAW, NOT F**KING AEW DYNAMITE! 

The difference between the bunch is that it was pretty one-sided as Omos, Cedric Alexander and MVP took out Lashley. 

So, to recap for all of you slow mofos. 

Like: Bianca Belair vs Asuka, Street Profits watching the chaos that is the 24/7 championship scene.

Didn't like: The Usos ending their match in a no DQ was pretty stupid, Austin Titan, Brawls everywhere straight out of an AEW Dynamite episode.

The 5 News Week: WWE Backstage. Cancelled Or Nah?, Liv Morgan's Re-Debut Was Supposed To Be Different!?

I'm back on my BS because it's The 5 News Week where I report on the 5 major or minor news of the week hence the name "T he 5 News Week".  Sorry for the week of absence. I took a week off of social media (except YouTube) due to the sadness I felt when reading those brave women and men tell their stories about the awful, terrible experiences they've had after their interactions with notable people in the industry.  It made me question my fandom and whether I should be in the industry (wrestling media-wise) knowing that they are asshats that will take an advantage on people for no reason other than more power and control.  This week proves that the business needs to wash all the old tropes that make it harder for people to express what's really going on especially when it pertains  to serious issues like sexual assault, racism, sexism etc.  I'm hoping that those stories will lead to a sudden change in every aspect of this profession and other ...

The 5 News Week: WWE Ditching Full Script Promos? NXT Superstars Still Expected To Move To The Main Roster?

Hello, my fellow wrestling fans and welcome to the 5 news week. The post where I report 5 major or minor news of the week that I don't have time to do it separately. Without further ado, here are the 5 news week.  NXT Superstars Still Expected To Move To The Main Roster? Although the yellow brand is much better in terms of how they approach storylines subjectively speaking, of course, it is still a developmental brand after all even though it doesn't feel like so.  I'm sure you guys have heard of reports (more specifically from post wrestling ) that a draft is coming next month and the NXT Superstars will still be called on either RAW or Smackdown hence not being treated as a third equal brand.  That is all coming from Dave Meltzer and The Wrestling Observer Newsletter. I really enjoyed when the main roster guys like Tyson Kidd in 2014, Brezzago, Apollo Crews for a bit move to NXT and those moves makes that brand more legit but I and you guys should keep i...

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...
