A Few Thoughts On RAW And Smackdown: RAW wasn't GREAT!?

 Since this blog will be less of a priority now considering I'm focusing on my podcast now (hit the 5 stars on Apple Podcast you sons of b*tches), I decided to share my few thoughts on RAW, Smackdown, I guess? 

Smackdown. 

The blue brand delivered yet another good episode this week and it's probably due to the fact that Braun Strowman taking out the Maximum Model is high-key funny as f**k. 

The folks over at Titan Towers are bringing back the essence of their characters whether it's Kevin Owens, Shayna Baszler or in this case, Big Braun himself.
 
As a fan, you gotta love it, especially since in the case of Strowman, the dude hasn't been the same since he turned heel 4 years ago when feuding with Roman Reigns for the universal title.  

Other noteworthy segments include Logan Paul challenging Roman Reigns for the big world universal multiverse galactic cinematic championship. 

Imagine they pulled that match off 7 years ago back when Logan was on Vine? Somehow someway, Roman would still get booed outta the building. 

One last thing to note here is FINALLY,  SHOTZI IS A BABYFACE AGAIN! It would be even better if they bought back her last name. But at least according to Fightful's snitch, She's getting her tank back. 

RAW

There were some distraction finishes that'll make Vince McMahon jealous. Still, as a whole, the episode feels like a direct continuation of last week's show with a few additional hints for what's about to come next week (Omar, you basically described the word continuity OG).

In other words, the show was aight, I guess. 

The thing I've learned from Bobby Lashley's US title match with Seth Rollins is that Lashley's back is strong as f**k and I don't know if Lashley's flexing that he can take back shots or not. 

Also, Babyface Prizefighter? Honestly, Better than heel prize fighter Kevin Owens but I'm probably reaching. 

Bayley getting her long-awaited rematch against Bianca Belair for the women's title? Noice (I know it's not the same belt but you get my point). 

She's come a long way since that awful "This is Your Life" segment with Alexa Bliss and speaking of which, they had a solid match. 

Why's Dexter Lumis stalking Miz instead of going on a honeymoon with Indi Hartwell? No idea. Probably begging for a cameo for Miz's reality that everybody watches. 


I know it's a different format but productivity sucks so I gotta change things up ya know?

The 5 News Week: What's With The Story Of WWE Will Possibly Put Their Content On A Different OTT?

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.  This past week was filled with news so  fasten your virtual seat belts because this is gonna be a long one. Without further ado, here are The 5 News Week.  What's With The Story That WWE Will Possibly Put Their Content On A Different OTT?  This confusion all started when some fans (including myself) saw the headline from a well-respected publication "WWE In Talks Talks to Sell PPV Rights to Another ‘Major’ Streaming Service." That publication is The Wrap and the article pretty much talked about what Vinne Mac said in the Q4 2019 earnings report about the possibility of putting their content to a major streaming service or enhance the prize point to a tiered payment but the deal to quote The Wrap " if made — would be announced by next month.". Did the old man say this? Let...

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...

WWE RAW 7/1/19 | My Coherent Review

My first RAW review of 2019 and surprisingly, this show was decent. Now, would RAW put on decent shows in the coming weeks or months? Probably not but I hope that's the case. Now, usually on my RAW and Smackdown Live reviews, I give my thoughts on what's good, what's ok and what bad ( click here if you curious as to how the format looks like). However, since this is the new year, I'm gonna get rid of that and instead just put my in-depth thoughts just like my PPV reviews. Without further ado, on with the review.  Opening Segment The show itself started off with a brawl between Seth Rollins and Bobby Lashley that lasted for a very short period of time. After that’s done, the opening segment started with John Cena and cuts a promo on how he’s gonna earn his golden ticket to Wrestlemania by entering in this year’s Royal Rumble match.  Out came Drew McIntyre and he said that Cena’s accomplishments is what Drew cares about. He then went on how he’s b...
