My Life As A Pro Wrestling Fan PT1.
KAEW Forbidden Door 2026 Review. AEW Kick Smash Through The Forbidden Door.

Intro.
I’m going to be honest. Sometimes I don’t get how WWE manage to manipulate storylines that the measurement of pure awkwardness. Case and point The Vision. I’m not the biggest fan of Logan Paul and his group, and how WWE Creative have seemed to think that it was acceptable to use bodyshaming as a form of entertainment. I know that i’m coming across like an old man, but this isn’t acceptable. My second point is the fact no one seems to be calling this out, and to me that is just dumb founding. Do Better WWE. It’s really not that difficult.
Brock Lesnar and Oba Femi Weigh In.
WWE have been accused of booking some bad promos this year, ( and they have ) but this to me is one of the worst that has ever been committed to whilst sitting around a large table. The Hell In A Cell Structure was used in a confusing manner, that made me think, that we were watching a rehearsal for what might happen this coming Saturday. I didn’t like this segment. HHH and Adam Pearce hosted proceedings, as both men walked through the back end to the arena, with a joint camera shot. Oba was out first, and he weighed 302 pounds. Brock Lesnar walked out, and when he got to the cell locked everyone in. Now upon first watching I thought this made sense, but upon a second watch, this made no sense. Paul Heyman cut a promo whilst having technical issues, and put over Brocks achievements, whilst the beast incarnate scowled around the cell. Brock ends the segment saying that he will see Oba at Summerslam this Saturday. Oba answered back, and said that he will be inside the cell with Oba Femi. WWE have produced some bad tv this year, and in my opinion this by far the worst segment so far. It was predictable. Confusing, and farsicle, as Oba snapping and beating up Police in the aftermath looked comical.
Roman vs Seth Docu Series Final Parts.
When WWE do these type of segments, they do them better than anyone else. This week they took us back to the 2022 Royal Rumble, and just like that I had flashbacks to one of the worst Matches of that year. Seth Rollins vs Roman Reigns. I really didn’t need to see that, because my God that Match was dire.
The Vision vs The Alpha Academy.
I hated everything to do with this Match. I like Otis, and Tazawa, however they’ve been booked horribly as a tag team, and bodyshaming Otis is an old form of disgusting storytelling that He Who Shall Not Be Named used to put on tv on a weekly basis. The Match was flat, boring, and I want this feud to end. The Vison got the win, and then beat down The Alpha Academy in the Aftermath, in which Austin Theory smacked Otis with a steelchair, whilst his head was positioned around the ring post. This Match was awful. The downfall of Bron Breakker needs to be studied. At the beginning of the year he was set to win the Royal Rumble, and go on to face Seth Rollins at Wrestlemania, but got injured, and with that his booking went out of the window, and it’s never recovered. He was a hot prospect at the beginning of the year, and now he’s getting the pin over Otis. WWE needs to do better with Bron.
LA Knight Segment.
Jackie Redmond was backstage Interviewing LA Knight, and the only thing that ran through my mind was who’s going to record him this weeks AEW Collision, because his threeway Tag Match at Summerslam is on the Saturday night card, and as we all know Saturday Night is all alright for a fight.
Chad Gable. Iyo Sky. Penta. Liv Morgan, and. Hell In A Cell Hype Vingnettes.
Through the broadcast WWE treated to something that they do really well. Vingnettes. Chad Gable. Liv Morgan. Penta. Iyo Sky, and even the Hell In A Cell Structure were given this treatment, one of them came across as horrifically bad, whilst the others got to the point. The superstar shots came across in the stereo typical WWE way, whilst the Hell In A cell talking, was laughable.
Jevon Evans vs Rusev.
This was the shining light, in what was a poor episode of WWE Monday Night Right. Jevon has a massive future ahead of him, once WWE break him out this midcard IC Championship. Jevon got the win as the big vs dynamic shone through as the Matches major breakout.
Joe Hendry And Danhausen In Concert.
Fans online were left raging after watching this, so i’m going to put my own spin on it. Was this Slipknot and Slayer doing a joint tour? No. Was this Jellyroll and Post Malone? No, this was Joe Hendry and Danhausen. Now don’t get me wrong this was awful, but it was no wear near as bad as the Brock and Oba segment from earlier in the evening in my opinion. This was bad in a funny way. From awful song lyrics, cringeworthy dancers, and Ryan Garcia attacking Joe with a guitar like he was Jeff Jarrett, after The Judgement Day beat both Joe Hendry, and. Danhausen. This was a thing. Were’s Connor Benn when you need him?
Rey Mysterio vs Ethan Page.
This Match was flat, boring, and a stale looking reminder that Ethan Page was booked better in AEW. Rey Mysterio can pull a good Match out of anyone, but on this night he couldn’t. Ethan got the win, thanks to cheating.
Danhausen Segment.
Danhausen Is clearly a fan of Vince Russo’s WCW year 2000 booking, because ASdam Pearce has now booked a human monies on a pole Match at Summerslam. OK I guess.
The Uso’s Segment.
As in the way of how WWE Promotrains go, this one was awful. Jimmy and Jey gave there Summerslam opponents a warning shot like it was 2016. The mentioned all of there opponents, as Solo undercut them with childish noises, and introducing LA Knight. This was the only highlight of the segment as he poked fun at Jimmy and Jey, and spoke nothing but facts. A fight then broke out, as Jacob Fatu joined in. This was mainly terrible, but enjoyable in moderation.
Sol Ruca vs Raquel Rodriguez WWE Womens Intercontinental Championship.
To Say that Sol Ruca’s WWE Womens Intercontinental Championship run has been nothing short o of a disapointment, is one hell of an understatemement. And this match was the definition of that. This was yet another poorly conceived Match created for tv. It was a shenigans based run through of poor mediocrity. Liv Morgan went for Iyo sky, and Roxanne Perez took a nasty punt to the face. This allowed Raquel to get the win, and become the new WWE Womens Intercontinental Champion. This is Raquels first major singles championship on the WWE main roster, she signed with the company in 2018, and won belts in NXT, but this is her first on the main roster, and should be celebbrated, but under better circumstances.
WWE Monday Night Raw Main Event segment Seth Rollins vs Roman Reigns Face To Face.
I didn’t like this. With 16 minutes left of the show, and after entrances this left both men with just nine minutes to get to the point, and they didn’t. This segment felt rushed, as they told the story of how both men are the version on of rich man vs poor mar man, even though they are both millionaires. THe major problem with this segment is the fact that we’ve heard all of this before, and it’s boring at this p point, and to top this all off, both men took us back to the break up of The Shield, ending with Roman getting taken out again. Only this time with a a curb stomp to end the broadcast.
Overview Of WWE Monday Night Raw.
This weeks WWE Monday Night Raw was a complete letdown, and with WWE Summerslam coming this weekend I’ve got to say it. I’m not looking forward to the PLE. Do Better WWE.
This weeks WWE Monday Night Raw is a low 2/10.
