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.

WWE RAW 13/7/20 | A Coherent Review.

I didn't like this show. Thankfully, this episode didn't pull a Smackdown but because of how well last week's show went, I felt really underwhelmed watching that.   MVP Lounge. Special Guest, Dolph Ziggler.  Montel Von Porter welcomed his guest that shares a common hatred for Drew McIntyre and that guest is, of course, Dolph Ziggler.  Ziggler compliments the new United States championship design to which MVP let him know that he'll talk to his people and get a new WWE championship design once the show-off, wins the championship (and honestly, Ziggler's got a point, the WWE Title needs a new design).  Dolph further tells MVP that he's the reason why Drew defeated Brock Lesnar at Wrestlemania for the WWE title.  Out came the Scotsmen himself and he basically said that he'll beat the crap out of him and Dolph got a bit of that with a punch. An enjoyable segment.  The thing I kind of appreciate about this feud is that Dolph...

WWE NXT Takeover: Toronto | My Coherent Review.

Another month or so, another great NXT Takeover event courtesy of the NXT creative team filled with top-notch in-ring action and storytelling. I know it feels tiresome when you heard people praise highly talk about the Takeover shows but trust me they are that good.  The Street Profits vs The Undisputed Era for the NXT Tag Team Championship. During the match, Montez Ford delivered the people's elbow after hitting a spinebuster on Bobby Fish. The match ended with a frog splash from Montez Ford and The Street Profits continues to celebrate as tag team champions.  I'm very conflicted with this decision mainly because I don't want to see more okay matches between The Forgotten Sons and Danny Burch and Oney Lorcan but I'm going to be optimistic hoping that it's not the case.  Io Shirai vs Candice Lerae.  Io's theme song is simple yet badass at the same time (no shit, Omar). The match started off with Candice rushing to the ring and brawled on the outs...

WWE RAW 17/9/18 | My Coherent Review.

RAW was a mediocre show that had some redeeming qualities but for the most part again, it was a mediocre show. Why you ask? Well, I'm gonna tell you what's good, what's ok and what's bad. Here we go.  WHAT'S GOOD Dean Ambrose vs Drew McIntyre   Good match. It was surprisingly hard hitting in my opinion but there was a dumb babyface moment where dean jumped from a ring post and Drew reversed it and instead Dean hit himself on the barricade. After that, Drew hit the claymore kick and wins the match.  The opening segment  Overall, the segment was pretty good but the most interesting thing I've noticed in this segment was Roman Reigns' promo before Strowman showed up. In my opinion, he has come a LONG way in terms of mic skills. Don't get me wrong he's not "the best talker in WWE right now" but he has improved a lot. But that didn't stop me from thinking that the main event of that show was boring as hell. Lio rush....
