WWE RAW 11/4/22 | A Coherent Review.

12345, Monday Night RAW still sucks me dry (that was terrible but not as bad as Gudda Gudda infamous "I got her grocery bag" line). 

This show had so many tag team matches, I thought for a second that Teddy Long was running the program. 

Brock Lesnar Showed up, Spoke To Paul Heyman And Then Destroyed Alpha Academy. 

Headline said everything. The line of "the one streak that Brock can't compete" referring to him not ending Roman's 700-day reign at Summerslam was perfect.

As A matter of fact, that entire promo from Heyman was, no shocker, pretty good.  

Damian Priest Called Rey Mysterio Old And Wanted Eddie's Son To Join The Judgment Day.  

Not gonna lie, Finn Balor's promo on Rey being a bad father was the exact opposite of Heyman's promo in the opening segment. 

Balor then faced "the bad father" Rey Mysterio, and it was fine.  

The man with, unfortunately, the black tights won the match with the coup de grace. 

No Shocker, A Becky Demands Something From A Black Woman. 

That demand was a RAW women's championship at Summerslam. Eh. Speaking of which, a good old-fashioned distraction finish led to a count-out loss for Belair. White women, am I right? 

Guys, the strange creepy vignettes we've been seeing since Money In The Bank are clearly alluding to the Gobbledy Gooker. Prove me wrong. 

Ezekiel And AJ Styles vs The Miz And Ciampa.

It really sucks that Ciampa is essentially 2022's Tyson Tomko. 

The match itself was aight and of course, it ended in some sort of f**kery aka a disqualification thanks to Ciampa breaking the count by relentlessly beating Styles.  

Asuka And Alexa Bliss vs Nikki A.S.H And Doudrop. 

Another okay tag team match. Bliss led her tag partner to victory by pinning her former teammate, Nikki A.S.H. 

The Street Profits And R Truth vs Omos And The Usos. 

This entire match was set up after both R Truth and MVP (on behalf of Omos) debated a little bit on who's the special guest referee for The Street Profits vs Usos encounter. 

And the match was actually decent. This is yet another example of why Omos can't be stopped as he led his team to victory with a double chokeslam to Angelo Dawkins. 

Bobby Lashley And Riddle vs Seth Rollins And Titan aka Theory. 

Yet another tag team match? After the baby faces prevailed in the main event, Dolph Ziggler gave Theory a superkick which means another time that Dolph eventually takes an L again. 

So, to recap for all of you slow mofos. 

Like: Paul Heyman killed it on the mic as per usual. 

Didn't like: So many tag team matches, is Teddy Long the new WWE official?

WWE Smackdown 17/12/21 | A Coherent Review.

Another week, another meh episode of Smackdown although the ending was pretty eye-opening.  Images via WWE.com   The Viking Raiders vs Jinder Mahal And Shanky.  After a backstage segment that included The Usos roasting Xavier Woods' kingship, the blue brand really started the show with a match (not this one) which is a rare thing to see on main roster television. And the match wasn't bad at all.  The Viking Raider defeated the team of Jinder and Shanky with a splash from Ivor. Does everyone want a Happy Corbin segment? Well, no and Drew McIntyre agrees as he took out Corbin and Madcap Moss to retrieve his sword which sounds like a bad King Arthur comedy flick or something.  Naomi Wants A Match With Sonya Deville.  Naomi is upset at how Sonya Deville acted like a Susan over the past few months so the glow queen challenged the actual manager to a match at Day 1 and Sonya was like, "Ahhhh, no".  Naomi then had a match with Shayna Baszler and within minute...

My Coherent Wrestling Wednesdays: Chris Jericho Offers Moxley To Join Inner Circle, The Go-Home Show Before Dec 18th.

I thought the middle act of AEW Dynamite suffered some pacing issues even though it was overall a much stronger show than last week's episode.  The latest episode of NXT, however, has built a solid foundation on what's to come on December 18th. The main question is, which show do I like better? The answer is AEW.  NXT  Highlights. Angel Garza vs Lio Rush For The NXT Cruiserweight Championship.  Was this match better than their first encounter? Like Snoop Dogg's verse in Sasha Banks' theme song, "Hell yea". Garza slams Rush hard on the ring apron by pushing the champ. Moments later, Garza delivers the Spanish Fly and Rush kicked out of that.  As Rush hits the frog splash, the champ wanted to pull him back in the middle of the ring but instead, he ripped off Garza's pants (nice attention to detail).  Angel then hits the wind clipper but Lio kicked out which led to a wind clipper submission and the man of the hour tapped out which m...

NXT Takeover Phoenix | My Coherent Review.

NXT Takeover was a great show with great wrestling, energetic crowd and intriguing storytelling (OMG, REALLY? I didn’t know that).  War Raiders vs The Undisputed Era (Kyle O’ Reilly and Roderick Strong) for the NXT Tag Team Championship.  First off, cool entrance by War Raiders. Secondly, the match was entertaining. At one point, Strong did a superplex to Hanson. The match ended with War Raiders delivered the Fallout to Kyle O ‘Reilly and won the match. War Raiders are the new NXT Tag Team Champions deservedly so.  Matt Riddle vs Kassius Ohno. During the match, Ohno hit Riddle right on his mouth which absolutely looked brutal. Minutes after that, Riddle hits Ohno with series of elbow strikes which made Ohno tap out and won the match. A very unique finish but nevertheless, this was a decent match.  Johnny Gargano vs Ricochet for the NXT North American Championship.  Those guys put on the absolute clinic of a wrestling match. But that ending ...
