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.

Top 3 BEST Distraction Finishes EVER!

Distraction endings to a wrestling match in WWE depend on one another if you think about it. It's like the peanut butter and jelly or the chicken and the basmati biryani rice or Dan Lambert and sexism.  "Why top 3", you may ask? Because one, I'm different and two, well, I'm different, so be gone to the mofos that think it's shorter than Brock Lesnar's bout with Kofi Kingston.  (WARNING: This piece is mostly sarcasm).  Daniel Bryan vs Sheamus. Wrestlemania 28.  I know this made your eyebrows raise as high as Rocky Maivia but think about this. The kiss from AJ Lee that led to a brogue kick from Sheamus, has in some way, led to the general audience seeing how Daniel Bryan should be WAY higher in the overall arc than where he was at that time.  Also, this was also the year where Bryan showed off his comedic chops with his "NO" catchphrase and his tag team run with the big red conservative, Kane.  If anything, this distraction finish was a great chara...

NXT Takeover: 30 | A Coherent Review.

NXT Takeovers have delivered greatly throughout the "30 years" of Takeover shows.  This one, in my opinion, wasn't it. For a Takeover program, this was disappointing.  All of the Takeovers are A's or B's and Takeover 30 was a C at best.  At least, I like the stage production set.  pictures via WWE.com PRESHOW: Breezango vs Legado De La Fantasma vs Oney Lorcan And Danny Burch. Winner Faces Imperium For The NXT Tag Team Championship.  It was a fine match. Joaquin Wilde's ring gear was really cool even though it took a bit out of the seriousness from the Legado De La Fantasma stable. I'm just nitpicking though.  Breezango actually won the match and will go on to face Imperium for the tag belts.  MAIN SHOW: Finn Balor vs Timothy Thatcher.  Timothy Thatcher started off this match with a series of punches which he then later transitioned into various submission moves.  Pretty much, Finn has no choice but to adapt to...

WWE RAW 28/2/22 | A Coherent Review.

Another week, another episode of Monday Night RAW aka a 2 hour podcast for an angry bearded white guy.  Kevin Owens and Seth Rollins spoke with Alpha Academy and………..  It led to a stunner from Kevin Owens to Chad Gable  I can't criticize the way Gable says thank you because after all, he's a chad.  The segment followed with a decent tag team match between two former rivals and the Academics.  And like their dating life, the Alphas took an L here.  This is the part where I would be mad at the tag champs getting pinned but those titles, as well as the entire tag division, are so meaningless, I don't have the energy to do so.  T-Bar vs Omos.  T-Bar lost a match and Omos can't wrestle for sh*ts. In other news, the colour of blood is red.  Bianca Belair, Rhea Ripley And Liv Morgan vs Becky Lynch, Doudrop And Nikki A.S.H.  Bianca once again proves that she owns all of the EST by leading her team to victory with the KOD on Nikki Ash Ketchum....
