WWE Mae Young Classic S02 E01 | My Coherent Review.

Hello my fellow wrestling fans and welcome to my coherent and honest Mae young classic tournament review and overall this is a good hour of wrestling that made me feel I want more. 

 Before I talk about the matches, I want to give my quick thoughts on the commentary and It was a step up to last year's. Micheal Cole,  Renee Young and Beth Phoenix all did a great job in not only telling a story in the square circle but also filling the excitement and passion about this entire tournament and you can tell it just by listening to them. Anyways, on with the review. 

Tegan Nox vs Zatara

 Tegan nox was supposed to be in last year's mae young classic tournament but she tore her ACL. This is, in fact, a comeback story for nox (No shit, Omar). There was a point in the match where zatara told the fans to shut up which was funny in my opinion. Anyways, the overall match was decent. Zatara was aiming for nox's knee and did submissions that I don't know, to be honest. Tegan nox wins with the shining wizard 


Rhea Ripley vs MJ Jenkins

Since last year's mae young classic. Ripley had a completely gimmick/ attitude change. She went from an innocent girl next door type of character to a punk rock, no shits given attitude type of character which I actually like. This match was better than the opening match. During the match, Ripley hit a brutal looking dropkick to Jenkins that send Jenkins to the outside. Ripley wins with that pump handle powerbomb which looked amazing by the way. 


Lacey lane vs Vanessa Kraven

Right off the bat, Vanessa Kraven reminds me of Kevin thorn from the revived ECW brand. Feels like I’m burying her just by saying that. At one point, Kraven did a spinning sidewalk slam which looked good but that didn't get her to take the W because lacey lane wins with the crucifix bomb into a pin. Not a bad match. 


Killer Kelly vs Meiko Satomura

Killer Kelly by the way, looks like an actual killer. To be honest with you, this is my first time seeing Meiko wrestle in the ring and she impressed the crap outta me.  Not only this match was hard hitting but as well as the match of the night. My goodness, what a match. When Meiko did a back flop of some sort and hit killer Kelly's head just looked brutal. Not surprised if she got a concussion from that. Meiko wins with a death valley driver.  

 Well, I hope you enjoyed my take on the first round tournament of the mae young classic. Let me know what is your favourite match of that episode and follow the blog for honest pro wrestling opinions. Anyways, stay safe smarks.

Should Dave Meltzer Get Rid Of His Rating System?

So a few weeks ago, good old Dave Meltzer of the wrestling observer newsletter gave the Kazuchika Okada vs Kenny omega match at dominion 2018 a 7-star rating. According to the interent wrestling database , this match is by far his HIGHEST match rating ever (i don't blame him because the match was amazing). So statistically, this is his favourite match of all time . Now, why I'm writing this now?  Well, his best match ratings have been a consistent 5 stars since 1983 with the exception of all the Omega vs Okada matches and the Mitsuharu Misawa vs Toshiaki Kawada match at AJPW's Budokan hall show in June of 1994.  There are fans that take his match ratings as an offence somehow like "Why he rates X match better than Y match?" or thinks that he "hates" WWE which is ridiculous considering that he gave three WWE matches a 5 star ratings just this past year. One was the ladder match to crown the first ever NXT North American champion, the Johnny Garga...

WWE Smackdown Live 19/2/19 | My Coherent Review.

This show was overall, a skippable show just like RAW yesterday and here's why.  Opening segment.  The show kicked off with Shane McMahon with his usual cheap pop. After that, Shane McMahon announced that Aleister Black, Johnny Gargano, Ricochet and Tommaso Ciampa will be on SmackDown Live just like RAW last night (click here to read my RAW review).  Out came The Miz and he said that he hasn't stop thinking about their match at Elimination Chamber. Miz also said he admitted that he used Shane because Miz wanted to make Shane McMahon understand where's Miz's coming from.  Miz then wanted a rematch between him, Shane McMahon and the Usos for the SmackDown Live tag team championship to which the Usos came out and insulted The Miz.  That led to Shane McMahon saying that the rematch is on but at Fastlane in two weeks. So we got the first official match scheduled for Fastlane and considering that Shane is a McMahon and has all the Authority, I do...
