WWE Mae Young Classic S02 E04 | My Coherent Review.

Hello, my fellow and welcome to my coherent review for the Mae Young Classic tournament and another week, another week of a great hour of professional wrestling and here's why. 


Rachel Evers vs Kiroyo Matsumoto

Right off the bat, Evers got a standing ovation considering that she had a very good first impression in last year's mae young classic. The match was good. One of my favourites moments of that match was Kiroyo delivered a brutal missile dropkick to Evers. Kiroyo Matsumoto won that match with a jackknife powerbomb followed by a back suplex that she calls it "the rock drop". 


Taynara Conti vs Jessie Elabain

I would describe her character as an energetic but also homesick if that makes sense? There was a point in the match where Jessie delivered a forearm to Conti and then immediately Conti shouted "Are you CRAZY?" which was hilarious but that didn't stop her from winning this match. Taynara Conti won with a spinning belly to belly slam. 


Nicole Matthews vs Isla Dawn

Isla Dawn reminds me of that vampire from season 4, episode one of Buffy the vampire slayer but the match was fine. The match ends with Matthews delivering a clothesline followed by a liontamer that Chris Jericho used. 


Io Shirai vs Xia Brookside

The final first round match of the mae young classic with two impressive competitors in Brookside and Shirai but was it good though? No, because if anything, that was a showcase match for those who are not familiar with Io Shirai. She won with a beautiful moonsault. 


Overall, the first round tournament was fantastic and a great way to show what the women's evolution is all about. Thanks for reading this and let me know what do think about the first round of the mae young classic in the comments below. Follow the blog for honest pro wrestling and stay safe smarks.

WWE Wrestlemania 26 | A Coherent Review.

I've teased a mystery review on my Facebook page (which you can click here to follow us) and that mystery has now been unveiled. It's Wrestlemania 26. This review was delayed and was supposed to be up last Monday but at least is now up. Also, The first draft of this review was 7 pages long so strap in. By far, the longest review on this very website.  I thought it would be fitting to review a Wrestlemania from a decade back and how do I feel about it? It was a show that if you watched it, you're most likely going to have a good time. It was a mix of great things but terrible things at the same time as most shows.  The 26th edition of Wrestlemania took place in the University of Phoenix Stadium in the Phoenix suburb of Glendale, Arizona on March 28th, 2010.  The commentators were Micheal Cole, Jerry Lawler and Matt Striker. Honestly, Striker was pretty good and a far better colour commentator than Lawler was on this show (even today, Lawler is still bleh on commen...

The 5 News Week: Quick Predictions On Wrestlemania: Backlash.

Hello, my fellow wrestling fans and welcome to the 5 news week. The post where I report 5 major or minor pro wrestling news, rumours and spoilers of the week that I don't have time to do it separately.  Without further ado, here are the 5 news week.   A Brief Thoughts On AEW Dynamite.  For the first time on this very series, I am going to briefly discuss my thoughts on AEW Dynamite and it was decent for the most part. I do have some perspectives on a few key things.  Most notably, that Cody Rhodes promo which by the way, was without exaggeration, one of the worst PROMOS I've ever witnessed as a 14 year veteran in the wrestling fandom.  The overall dialogue was an example of American imperialism and without a little or too much propaganda (while having the basic understanding of American imperialism), it exposed the very dated nature of the "America vs foreign heel" storyline.  Let's move on to the positives. Miro's booking in recent months has been exc...

WWE Smackdown Live 16/4/19 Aka Superstar Shakeup Final Day | My Coherent Review.

Overall a good show but the Superstar shakeup element was a bit better than Monday Night RAW’s version.  Opening segment.  The second and final day of the Superstar shakeup started off with The Kevin Owens show and he obviously got a big ovation from the Montreal crowd. Owens said welcome to the Kevin Owens show in French and that's all I got from him speaking in French.  He then introduced ⅔ of The New Day in Xavier Woods and Kofi Kingston and Owens asked him that they have a match between Rusev, Nakamura and Cesaro vs Kofi Kingston, Xavier Woods and himself.  The segment ended with all three of those men making a fool of themselves which I'm not gonna lie, it was entertaining. A decent segment in my opinion. Especially when Kevin Owens was gyrating. Hilarious stuff from Owens.  Ali (Still Mustafa Ali to me) vs The first SmackDown Live Pick.  The first SmackDown Live pick is the Intercontinental champion, Finn Balor. Samoa Joe was suppose...
