WWE RAW 9/5/22 | A Coherent Review.

 Yes, I didn't review Wrestlemania Backlash because one, I knocked out after a long day and two, why not? I did watch the show and it's like an episode of a Telltale game in that it's short and sweet. 

How was the red brand this week? 

Even though Wrestlemania Backlash is over, it still feels like I'm watching a build toward that show. It's like eating yesterday's leftovers with some fresh salad on the side, ya know. I'm hoping Hell In A Cell concludes everything. 

The Street Profits vs RKBRO For The RAW Tag Team Championship. 

Hey, look. A good tag team match, playas! Yes, they've fought each other more times than Call Of Duty sequels but like I said, I enjoyed it. RKBRO retained the championship with an RKO from Riddle to Montez Ford. 

Rhea Ripley Is Now An Evil Goth Girl. 

She said, "f**k them, kids". Also, why's Edge rocking the "I believe in white genocide" look? Ripley had a match with Liv Morgan and of course, she won the whole thing. 

Speaking of Judgement Day, Damian Priest faced Finnie Baylord and it ended via a DQ due to Edge delivering a spear to the former US champion (Finn Balor, not Damian Priest obviously because that would've been something Vince Russo came up with). 

AJ did show up but yet again, the odds were too much for him to handle just like factual information that isn't a conspiracy theory. 

Bobby Lashley Wrecks Havoc On The VIP Lounge. 

*Ugh* this f**king feud again!? SKIP. 

Sonya Deville vs Alexa Bliss. 

Susan Deville is no longer a WWE official. If you're a Naomi fan, REJOICE! Oh, and Alexa Bliss made a return and legit just squashed her in a matter of a minute or so. 

A Guy Named "Ken" Hates Ezekiel. 

Kevin "Ken" Owens still believes Ezekiel is Elias. He has a point, I mean, why isn't Elias trying to save his younger brother from a beatdown!? THINK ABOUT THAT! 

Indian Gigachad, Veer Mahaan Squashed Yet Another Person. 

Frank Lowman aka Wardlow's unofficial younger brother. 

Austin Titan vs Cody Rhodes For The United States Championship. 

Unfortunately, Rhodes couldn't wave the American flag like a good old hog as the United States champion as the bout ended via a DQ due to Sethy Rollings delivering a vicious beating to Cody Rhodes. 

While I wouldn't mind a rematch since both of their matches have been pretty good, I do think the feud (just like most of the rivalries showcased in this episode) needs an ending. 

Doudrop Wanted Nikki A.S.H To Take The Tag Team Championship Seriously. 

Why? Because Nikki's arrogance led to her and Doudrop's lost against the women's tag team champions, Naomi and Sasha Banks. 

Mustafa Ali vs Ciampa With Special Guest Referee, The Miz. 

Tomasso Ciampa is now just Ciampa which at best is WWE's mismanagement with names that don't need any changes and at worst, it's WWE hating on ethic POC names. 

Miz screwed Mustafa by fast counting which led to Ciampa's win. 


Both Dana Brooke and Tamina wanted to go through a divorce from their respective partners with the help of R Truth but that plan didn't go so well. Can that belt retire once and for all? 

Asuka vs Bianca Belair. 

A decent main event encounter. Of course, this ain't Monday Night RAW without a DQ finish and that's exactly how the match ended. 

The difference is that it made sense here because Asuka and Bianca shouldn't lose clean as one just came back while the other is the women's champion. 

So, to recap for all of you slow mofos. 

Like: RKBRO vs The Street Profits, Veer Mahaan, just Veer Mahaan. 

Didn't like: The show was a leftover.

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...

WWE RAW 10/8/20 | A Coherent Review.

This episode when it's good, it is REALLY good but when it's awful, it is REALLY awful. A mixed bag of a show, to be honest. pictures via WWE.com Two Contract Signings? For the first time at least in my lifetime, there are two contract signing for the same one match. Anywho, it's for the Seth Rollins and Dominik Mysterio match and Samoa Joe is the moderator which by the way, he's the best one yet. Based on Seth's promo telling Mysterio's Hijo that he can use a kendo stick or anything in the toolbox, it sounds like it's a no DQ match. The best part about this engaging segment by far is Joe's promo about how Seth Rollins was a different man ever since the fans booed him. Dominik's line quote, "Seth Rollins' actions change the lives of good men for the worst" pretty much describes Seth's heel run so far and I love it. That led to a match between Humberto Carrillo and Rollins. The match was quick af. Af...

A Few News I Guess: NXT Japan Ain't Happening?, Thoughts On Apollo Crews' "Injury".

For those wondering, yes, a new instalment of The 5 News Week will be up next week (if you're new, basically every Sunday, I report on the 5 major or minor news of the week hence the name "5 News Week").  It's just something I'm releasing given that I haven't reviewed RAW yesterday. But for now, here are a few news I guess?  NXT Japan Ain't Happening?  The Japanese wrestling scene is something I'm not all too familiar with (I mean, you're the resident WWE shill, Omar, what do you think?).  But, I've been keeping an eye on news regarding NXT's latest expansion in the land of the rising sun for several months now and trust me, there are so many reports dating back several months about this topic that will easily fill 2,000 words. I ain't gonna do all of that.  Almost 2 months ago, Dave Meltzer said in the Wrestling Observer Newsletter that there's been a worry regarding NXT entering the Japanese wrestling market. Here...
