WWE Evolution | My Coherent Review.

Evolution had a piss poor build up going in and those types of build-ups will usually end up with a solid show but was this an exception? I would somewhat say yes considering that I liked certain things about this show as well as the things that I didn't like and here's why. 

Trish Stratus and Lita vs Alicia Fox and Mickie James

A decent opener in my opinion. There was a point in the match where Trish hit a beautiful sit out spinebuster to a near fall. The match ended with Trish delivered the stratusfaction to Mickie James but Alicia broke the count. Immediately after that, Lita hit the Twist fate followed by a moonsault on both Mickie James and Alicia Fox and the team of Trish and Lita won the match.   

20 Women Battle Royal number one contender match for a title opportunity.

That was a pretty good battle royal in my opinion but the finish was rather odd. I don't hate that Nia won the match because Ronda Rousey had a good match with Nia 4 months ago so I don't mind a rematch. However, I would much prefer Ember Moon facing Rousey just because it feels fresh and different at the same time but it is what it is. 

Toni Storm vs Io Shirai Mae Young classic tournament finals match

Good match and by the way, what a tournament this was. During the match, Shirai delivered an amazing moonsault to Toni Storm on the outside but that, unfortunately, wasn't enough because Toni Storm won that match with the Strom Zero. Congratulations to Toni Storm for winning the second annual mae young classic tournament. 

Sasha Banks, Bayley and Natalya vs The Riott Squad

This match was longer than it needed to be in my opinion. Anyways, The team of Sasha banks, Bayley and Natalya won that match with Sasha Delivered a frog splash to Liv Morgan. 


Kari Sane vs Shayna Baszler for the NXT women's championship

Brutal but a solid match. The way Shayna stomps on Kari's arm is and will always look cringe-worthy. The match ended with Marina Shafir delivered a kick on Kari's face followed by Baszler's clutch submission and just like that she's the first ever two-time NXT women's champion. 

Charlotte Flair vs Becky Lynch for the SmackDown women's championship

No WWE, there was a last women's standing match before and that was between Asuka and Nikki cross for the NXT women's championship and that happened a year ago. 

This reminds me when WWE promoted the Charlotte Flair vs Sasha Banks match at RoadBlock; End Of The Line and they proclaimed it as "the first ever iron women's match" which it wasn't and by the way, they added fake boos in the promo package which was ridiculous. 

But nevertheless, this was a great match. Becky Lynch retains the championship with Becky hitting a powerbomb through the table to a count of 10. Outstanding performance by those two. I'm really curious as to where the Smackdown Women's championship scene goes from here. 

Ronda Rousey vs Nikki Bella for the RAW women's championship

This match was one big MEH. Ronda retains the championship with the armbar submission on Nikki Bella. That wasn't a good way to end the show, to be honest. 

Well, that's all folks I hope you enjoyed my coherent review and if you did then follow the blog for honest pro wrestling opinions and comment below on what do you think about Evolution last night? Anyways, stay safe smarks.

WWE Extreme Rules 2019 | My Coherent Review.

Man, I'm impressed with WWE in terms of PPVs as of late because overall, this was a fantastic show in my opinion with great matches but the crowd was dead for most of the show so that sucks.  I finally watched the pre-show match between Finn Balor and Shinsuke Nakamura before I went to bed because the show aired at 2 am where I live and it was okay.  By the way, how interesting is it when on last year’s Extreme Rules show, Shinsuke Nakamura won the United States championship and now this year’s show, he won the intercontinental title. Also, it's funny that the intercontinental championship was the main event on last's year show and on this year's Extreme Rules PPV, it's on the preshow.  Shane McMahon and Drew McIntyre vs Roman Reigns and The Undertaker.  Mike Rome did better in announcing "The Best In the world" this time than on RAW. Mike Rome's announcement a few weeks ago sounded like that one friend that thinks he/she knows how to ...

NXT Takeover: In Your House 2020 | A Coherent Review.

NXT Takeover: In Your House is like the rest of the Takeover shows, a fantastic 2 hours of professional wrestling.  What makes this show special is the additional nostalgia like how the show started with the NXT WWF inspired intro, the ice cream commercial narrated by William Regal doing his best Lord Alferd Hayes impression, icopro commercial and last but not least, Todd Pettengill.  This is a show that I'm definitely rewatching in years to come.  Mia Yim, Tegan Nox And Shotzi Blackheart vs Raquel Gonzalez, Candice LeRae And Dakota Kai.  A decent opening match. During the match, Nox did a Molly Holly top rope on to every competitor in the match.  Yim tried to give LeRae some Seoul Food but LeRae reversed that into a suplex. Several minutes later, Shotzi did a Salida Del Sol of some sort on Gonzalez to which Nox delivered the shiniest wizard on Kai and won the match.  Finn Balor vs Damian Priest. I actually thought that the closing mo...

The Coherent Wrestling Wednesdays: Holy Sh*t, The Revival Are All Elite, Matt Riddle vs Timothy Thatcher In A Unique Steel Cage Match.

Both shows had its weak points but overall, that was an enjoyable 4 hours of professional wrestling television. I personally liked AEW Dynamite this week.  From an awesome women's match with Shida and Christi Jaynes to The Revival showing up, AEW managed to give me a solid episode and successfully furthered their storylines to next week's exciting show.  NXT   Highlights (at least in my opinion because wrestling is subjective).  Kushida vs Drake Maverick vs Jake Atlas. Triple Threat Match Interim Cruiserweight Championship Tournament.  What a way to kick off this episode of NXT, am I right? Atlas delivered the rainbow DDT but Kushida broke Jake's pin.  Speaking of Kushida, he nailed the armbar submission, however, Drake pinned Atlas because Atlas' shoulders were on the mat and will meet El Hijo Del Fantasma for the finals next week.  I don't know if Drake is rehired or he's going to be rehired but Maverick has a big ta...
