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.

WWE Survivor Series 2018 | My Coherent Review.

Hello, my fellow wrestling fans reading this and welcome to my coherent review for Survivor Series 2018. Overall, it was a very entertaining show throughout with some minor issues and here's why.  (KICK OFF SHOW) Tag team Survivor Series match  This match was a great example of a skippable match until the last moments.  Xavier Woods did the springboard elbow drop and both members of The Revival countered that into a shatter machine which look amazing.  Minutes later, Scott Dawson hit a superplex to Jimmy Uso and an immediate frog splash from Dash Wilder to a near fall.  After that, Both Usos hit a superkick to Dash followed by a Uso splash and just like that, the Smackdown team took the W which WWE wants to forget about that (so stupid). A decent match but with a boring start in my opinion.  (MAIN SHOW) Women’s Survivor Series match  Before the match started when Nia Jax’s music hit, she got volcanic heat from the Los Ang...

WWE Wrestlemania: Backlash 2021 | A Coherent Review.

Wrestlemania: Backlash or as I like to call it, Backlashimania, gets an enthusiastic thumbs up for me. I enjoyed the hell out of this PPV overall.  Images via WWE.com The opening intro was narrated by the greatest of all time, Batista and it was straight badass despite the fact it was pretty much a promotion for Zack Snyder's new film, Army Of The Dead.  If you've read my about page, then you'll know that I ain't talking about Zack Snyder movies because his fans are…… never mind.  Rhea Ripley vs Charlotte Flair vs Asuka For The RAW Women's Championship.  Charlotte with the Cruella De Vil inspired ring gear was to quote Dolph Ziggler's old theme song, "perfection". The opening bout was fast-paced, high octane action that didn't have a slow/dull moment.  All of these women utilized quick grapples and strikes to their advantage.  Charlotte was this close to capturing the title but she was pushed to the outside, nailed the riptide to Asuka and that...

WWE NXT 2.0 16/11/21 | A Coherent Review.

I haven't reviewed NXT in two weeks and holy crap, I didn't miss much at all.  This week's show was BO. RING and I'm trying to make this interesting by adding my lame a** humour and you know you f'd up when I have to rely on my jokes to make this week's NXT discussion somewhat engaging.  Images via WWE.com   Tony D'Angelo vs Dexter Lumis.  The scary white man vs The spicy white man. WHO WILL SURVIVE!?  The answer is my favourite POC wrestler currently, Tony D'Angelo (that joke will never get old).  Johnny Gargano came to check on Dexter Lumis after Camelo Hayes and Trick Williams destroyed Lumis' hand.  Minutes later, all three guys in Dunne, Gargano and Hayes announced a triple threat match for the North American championship.  Should be a good match, is all I'm going to say about that.  Odyssey Jones And Jacket Time vs The Diamond Mine.  First off, Jacket time isn't a good tag team name. It sounds like me as a 5-year-old after wearing ...
