NXT Takeover Phoenix | My Coherent Review.


NXT Takeover was a great show with great wrestling, energetic crowd and intriguing storytelling (OMG, REALLY? I didn’t know that). 

War Raiders vs The Undisputed Era (Kyle O’ Reilly and Roderick Strong) for the NXT Tag Team Championship.

First off, cool entrance by War Raiders. Secondly, the match was entertaining. At one point, Strong did a superplex to Hanson. The match ended with War Raiders delivered the Fallout to Kyle O ‘Reilly and won the match. War Raiders are the new NXT Tag Team Champions deservedly so. 

Matt Riddle vs Kassius Ohno.

During the match, Ohno hit Riddle right on his mouth which absolutely looked brutal. Minutes after that, Riddle hits Ohno with series of elbow strikes which made Ohno tap out and won the match. A very unique finish but nevertheless, this was a decent match. 

Johnny Gargano vs Ricochet for the NXT North American Championship.

Those guys put on the absolute clinic of a wrestling match. But that ending was just shocking. Gargano delivered the slingshot DDT to Ricochet and just like that, He’s the new North American champion. 

Shayna Baszler vs Bianca Belair for the NXT Women’s Championship.

This was a very good encounter between those two. By the end of the match, Bazler reversed the 450 splash and instead did the clutch submission to Belair. Belair then beings to fate and just like that, Shayna Baszler retain her women’s championship. 

Aleister Black vs Tommaso Ciampa for The NXT Championship.

A great main event. My match of the night in my opinion. At one point, Ciampa delivered two fairytale endings to Black but Black kicked out. After that, Ciampa was aiming for the third one until Black was going for the black mass but his knee gave out. 

 Ciampa then delivered the fairytale ending to Aleister Black for the third time and Ciampa is still NXT Champion. After the match, Both Johnny Gargano and Ciampa hold their titles high on the stage area. I think Ricochet will be Ciampa’s next opponent at the next NXT Takeover show Wrestlemania weekend but like any predictions, they could be wrong. 

 So, to recap for all of you slow mofos: 

 Like: Every match except the Matt Riddle vs Kassius Ohno match (not that I hate it, just thought It was okay). 

 Didn’t like: (It’s a takeover show, what do you think?)

WWE Smackdown Live 30/10/18 | My Coherent Review.

Smackdown Live yesterday was a skippable show other than the opening segment and match in my opinion. Now usually on my RAW/Smackdown Live review, I break down what's good, what's ok and what's bad. For the first time, I'm only gonna tell you what's ok given that this show was again a skippable show and here we go.  WHAT'S OK The opening segment  This is the probably one of if not most noteworthy moment this week mainly because as you might know, there were reports going around that John Cena and Daniel Bryan were out of Crown Jewel and the reports are indeed true and it makes sense, especially for John Cena considering that he's an actor now and he needs to maintain his PR status. The segment itself was decent. Loved both guys' intensity and that segment leads to a WWE championship match and speaking of which............. Daniel Bryan vs AJ Styles  Decent match. Expected a better from these two but again, decent nevertheless but...

WWE Smackdown 24/4/20 | A Coherent Review.

This week's Smackdown show was decent but it wasn't as strong as the previous weeks and *hits his head a few times* here's why.  The New Day Celebrates Their Title Victory. The show kicked off with the now 8th time WWE tag team champions, The New Day and like the title above, they were celebrating their big title win last week (No sh*t, Omar).  During the segment, Kofi mentioned that there's nothing wrong with pointing out that they have more title reigns than The Hart Foundation, Edge and Christian, Demolition, The New Age Outlaws etc because it's them being proud of their accomplishments.  Out came Lucha House Party, The Miz and John Morrison and they pretty much said that they deserve a title shot. The Forgotten Sons showed up to tell The New Day, Lucha House Party and every other tag team watching that they will never be forgotten.  They lived up to that statement as the Forgotten Sons destroyed Lucha House Party and The New Day.  ...

WWE RAW 28/12/20 | A Bit Late Coherent Review.

Before I start this review, I wanna say rest in peace to Jon Huber better known as the person behind the character of Luke Harper and Brodie Lee.  It was a tough, painful 3 days for the pro wrestling industry and I certainly felt that.  If there's one thing I've learned from the number of great stories being told by the people he has worked with is that Jon is a charming, funny and overall a fantastic human being that loves his family.  After reading the countless amount of fantastic tribute posts (including from the likes of Molly Belle of Wrestle Inn and Andrew Thompson of Post Wrestling ), that bit about Jon as a family man made me think of my current relationship with my father and the ways I'm trying to improve from my standpoint.  I know this is a cheese pizza saying but tell the people you cared about that you love 'em because that line might make their day.  So. Thank you, Jon Huber, for being the light that brightens everybody's darkness.  Now, Ho...
