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.

AEW Thursday Night Dynamite | A Bit Late Coherent Review.

Fridays are my day off and while this is my hobby, I treat this site as work given the articles I put out and the amount of research that goes into those articles.  With that being said, what do I think about AEW Dynamite Thursday edition?  It wasn't as good as the Saturday episode however, it was at least somewhat tolerable to watch.  In other words, it was okay.  A Tag Team Gauntlet Match To Determine The Number One Contenders For The AEW World Tag Team Championship.  Look, I see the fans not practising social distancing despite wearing masks.  However, I would be lying if I didn't get a kick out of the fans singing Chris Jericho's theme song again.  Anywho, the entire thing was solid.  The Young Bucks got rid of Dusty Rhodes and QT Marshall but they can't get rid of Best Friends due to one man, Hangman Adam Page.  The possible falling out of the elite is something I gotta keep an eye on.  I'm c...

WWE RAW 17/6/19 | My Coherent Review.

Gotta be honest, I wasn't looking forward to Stomping Ground this coming Sunday but this episode actually did its job to build a bit of excitement for this PPV. I mean, I'm gonna watch that PPV regardless but it's really a good feeling when you get a pretty good RAW episode going into a PPV that I don't care for all that much. Elias Concert.  As you can tell from reading the title, this show started off with an Elias concert. The quote "greatest musical act in history" was crapping on Los Angeles and revealed that he's the special guest referee for the Universal Championship at Stomping Ground.  Seth Rollins came out and hits Elias with a steel chair. Rollins ended the segment by cutting a promo saying that he's warning anybody that wants to be a special guest referee that he's gonna get a steel chair shot on the back. This was okay. Short but decent.  The Miz vs Bobby Lashley vs Ricochet vs Cesaro vs Braun Strowman. Winner Faces Sam...

WWE RAW 18/2/19 | My Coherent Review.

The NXT calls up made this show a bit better but overall, this show was not only forgettable but as well as it was a visual Nyquil.   Opening segment.  This show started off with Triple H and cut a promo basically saying that history was made last night and also talked about DX being inducted into the WWE hall of fame (congrats to them).  After that, Triple H announced two things. One, 5 NXT talents will be in action tonight and showed a great video package highlighting those men. They are Ricochet, Aleister Black, Johnny Gargano and Tommaso Ciampa. Two, a tables match between Braun Strowman and Baron Corbin (sigh).  I don't know if that's an official call up but considering that WWE hasn't done pretty anything with the other NXT call ups, I'm not optimistic about how WWE creative books them in the near future.  Braun Strowman vs Baron Corbin in a tables match.  Braun Strowman won the match with a running powerslam through...
