WWE Hell In A Cell 2018 | My Coherent Review.

Hello my fellow wrestling fans and welcome to my coherent review for hell in a cell. Was this PPV straight hot garbage? (see what I just did there). The answer is no. This is the BEST main roster PPV of the year so far other than the ending and here's why.


Preshow Match: The New Day (c) vs Rusev Day

This was an entertaining match. One of my favourites moments of that match was when Kofi did a dive and rusev reversed it into an enziguri of some sort which looked amazing by the way. The match ends with Kofi hitting the trouble in paradise to Aiden English and wins this match and retain the titles. They're teasing a possible break up with rusev and Aiden English for weeks now I think and all I can say is insert sad emoji. 

Main Show: Jeff Hardy vs Randy Orton

First off, I've noticed that Jeff is rocking his old wrestling gear when he was part of the Hardy Boyz with Matt Hardy and I would like to thank Matt for giving us a career to remember. Especially when he was Broken Matt Hardy. 

Anyways, did Jeff Hardy almost kill himself in this match? Yes like when Jeff missed a Splash of some sort and instead hit himself on the table from the top of the cell. There was a cringeworthy moment where Randy grabbed a screwdriver and put it in Jeff's ear. Overall this wasn't the match of the year or anything like that but it was a good match and a good way to kick off the show.  


Charlotte Flair (c) vs Becky Lynch

The promo package for this match was FANTASTIC. Anyways, the match itself was great in my opinion. The entire match was pretty much Becky lynch aiming at Charlotte's arm. The match ends with Charlotte hitting the spear and immediately lynch reversed it into a roll-up pin of some sort and wins the match. 

Becky is your new smackdown live women's champion. After the match, Charlotte tried to shake Becky's hand but instead, Becky refused it and held her championship high. Good on her and congratulations to Becky Lynch. 


Dolph Ziggler and Drew McIntyre (c) vs Seth Rollins and Dean Ambrose

Another great match. That frog splash on Drew's back by Rollins was amazing to watch. The match ends with Seth hitting a suplex into a falcon arrow and then out of nowhere McIntyre hit the claymore kick to Seth Rollins only for Dolph to pin Seth and retain the titles. Kudos for all 4 men for giving us a great match. 


AJ Styles (c) vs Samoa Joe

This is when my Internet connection like to mess with me just like Samoa Joe messing with AJ styles psychologically. During the match, Joe hit a powerbomb to styles followed by a modified walls of Jericho aka the Boston crab and then did a STF submission. That was a great sequence. By the end of the match, Samoa Joe hit the kokina clutch and immediately styles reversed that and pins him. By the way, this match had the same finish when Seth Rollins faced Samoa Joe at the Payback PPV just a year ago. Overall a decent match. 


Daniel Bryan and Brie Bella vs The Miz and Maryse

For a mixed tag match, it was pretty decent. The match ends with Brie delivering a roll-up and then Maryse reversed into a roll-up of her own to win this match. Again, a decent match and most likely a rematch is going to happen. Maybe on Smackdown Live or at Smackdown 1000 we don't know but we shall see. 


Ronda Rousey (c) vs Alexa bliss

This was an okay match. Nothing really made this match stand out in my opinion. The match ends with Ronda delivering the armbar submission which made Alexa tap out. In other words, Ronda is still the raw women's champion. (No shit, Omar). 

Roman Reigns (c) vs Braun Strowman with Mick Foley as the guest referee.

During the match, Mick Foley unfortunately botched the count. In other words, Strowman is your uncrowned universal champion and all I can say to that is God bless him. I actually would prefer this match over the opening match if it wasn't for that terrible ending like What was that?  

Well, I hope you enjoyed this review and let me know what do you think about this PPV in the comments below. Make sure you follow the blog for honest pro wrestling opinions and stay safe smarks.

My Coherent Wrestling Wednesdays: A Broserweight Road Trip To Portland, Britt Baker Addresses Her Attack On Yuka Sakazaki Last Week.

While this was a typical night for AEW, NXT, however, had a go-home show to deliver just days before the next anticipated Takeover show in Portland, Oregon.  But, NXT's final show before the second Takeover of 2020 didn't bring it, unfortunately, in terms of quality as the 20th episode of AEW Dynamite was the better show this week even though AEW Dynamite is a hit or miss program.  NXT    Highlights.  Roderick Strong vs Bronson Reed. Before the match, a pissed off Roderick Strong demanded an apology from the Velveteen Dream given that Dream put his wife and child's face on his trucks.  By the way, Bronson Reed's theme song is killer and so is this match. A slow, technical, old-school type of match that wouldn't fit the big man on paper but the execution was a different story.  The lights turned purple and Reed hits the suicide dive but he missed a Samoan splash that led to a knee strike from Strong and wins the match.  Then,...

NXT Takeover: 31 | A Coherent Review.

NXT Takeover: 31 was a step up from the disappointment that was Takeover: 30.  By the way, the set from the now called Capital Wrestling Centre is clean. The lighting was especially on point.  pictures via wwe.com Damian Priest vs Johnny Gargano For The North American Championship.  During the match, Gargano pulled Damian's arm that had the big man land on the outside floor.  That led to Gargano pushing Priest onto the steel steps. In other words, Johnny has been targeting Damian's arm throughout the match  (No f'ing sh*t, Omar).  Priest then delivered the Razor's edge to Gargano on the ring apron (rip Johnny's back).  After he reversed the one final beat from Gargano, Priest nailed the reckoning to retain the North American title.  Not the most mind-blowing opener of all time but it was a decent match.  Kushida vs *ugh* Velveteen Dream.  Velveteen Dream dressed as Dr Emmett Brown because GET IT? Kushida dresses as Marty McFly?  Kus...

A Brief Guide To Pro Wrestling Websites.

So. You just become a fan of pro wrestling and have dabbled into the fandom for a bit (it's a mess ain't it?) You've just followed some news sites' social media platforms but aren't sure whether the articles they put out are accurate or not.  Well, you got the right guy to solve that problem if it's from a blog that barely gets any traction (that would be me in case you were confused).  The news we get from the medium that is pro wrestling is an integral part of the online space.  The reason being is that it's not only a great conversation starter but you could also learn something new today about the industry you love.  That doesn't mean that all of the news you see on the timeline is reliable.  I'm here to hopefully give you a guide to wrestling sites.  There are many wrestling websites out there but I wanna highlight some of the notable ones.  Okay? Here we go.  #1: Wrestling Observer Newsletter aka F4WOnline.  I can't talk about a guide t...
