WWE NXT 16/1/19 | My Coherent Review.

My first ever NXT TV review and I have to say…. this was an okay episode and here’s why. 

The street Profits vs The Metro Brothers (aka Deuce and Domino look like).

This was a quick one. After Street Profits victory over The Metro Brothers, the forgotten brothers beat both Angelo Dawkins and Montez ford with funny crowds chants like “we forgot you” and “ you still suck”. 

Backstage interview with Matt Riddle conducted by Cathy Kelly and Riddle said that his friend (Keith Lee) will teach Kassius ohno a lesson.

After that, Aleister Black cut a promo basically saying that he wants to start the fight early. Which means that they're gonna have a face to face interaction on next week's episode. Should be interesting. 

Bianca Belair and Shayna Baszler face to face confrontation.

Bianca was on the ring, grabbed a microphone and basically said that 2019 will be her year and she got 20/20 when it comes to the NXT Women's championship. Shayna Baszler comes out with her horsewomen buddies and Baszler said that she doesn't see the EST in NXT. 

She also said that she will tare Belair big arms apart. Bianca Belair responded by saying that the only thing her arms are doing is holding that championship high. Shayna Baszler then said that she's gonna make Belair from undefeated to overrated. 

Minutes after that, Bianca Belair slapped Baszler and walk off the ring. A very good segment in my opinion. It did a good job to build off this match. 

Dominic Djakovic vs Adrian Jaoude

Even though I get WWE’s intention in building Djakovic as a dominant monster, this was a slow match for me. Dominic Djakovic won the match with a reverse fireman's carry into a knee strike. 

After that, a War Raiders’ promo package played. It was pretty decent with the music in the background. 

Johnny Gargano vs Humberto Carrillo 

With a name like Humberto Carrillo, you would think that he would win this match right? In all seriousness, Carrillo looked impressive in this match but unfortunately, that didn't help him win this match because Gargano won the match with a springboard DDT. Overall a decent match. 

After that, the best heel in WWE right Tomasso Ciampa cut a pretty good promo basically being confident that he will retain his championship at NXT Takeover Phoenix. 

Keith Lee vs Kassius Ohno

This was an okay match. The match ended with Ohno hit a low blow without the ref’s knowledge. Then delivered a forearm to Lee and won the match. After the match, Riddle came out to the ring to check on his buddy Keith Lee. 

So, to recap for all of you slow mofos: 

Like: The Bianca Belair and Shayna Baszler face to face confrontation, Johnny Gargano vs Humberto Carrillo. 

Didn't like: Dominic Djakovic vs Adrian Jaoude.

Let's Talk About The State Of Wrestlemania 37.

I usually save those kinds of pieces for my weekly news series, The 5 News Week due to how modern this subject is and how my essays usually dwell on the past.  Usually, it is too early to talk about an upcoming Wrestlemania in October but not this time especially since we're still in a pandemic.  This is a topic I've been thinking about all month and I had to write my thoughts on it.  Let's answer this question right away whether Wrestlemania 37 will happen in SoFii stadium next year?  from CBS Los Angeles The answer is an obvious no. But, I want to try to dig deeper and see exactly where we stand today.  As of me writing this, Wrestlemania: Hollywood edition is still scheduled to take place in SoFi stadium despite an outlet that shall not be named, claiming otherwise.  This is either sheer blind optimism or downright idiotic from Dubya, Dubya E.  WrestleVotes did mention back in July that while the event is still going to take place in the stadium,...

A Brief Guide To Pro Wrestling Websites.

So. You just become a fan of pro wrestling and have dabbled into the fandom for a bit (it's a mess ain't it?) You've just followed some news sites' social media platforms but aren't sure whether the articles they put out are accurate or not.  Well, you got the right guy to solve that problem if it's from a blog that barely gets any traction (that would be me in case you were confused).  The news we get from the medium that is pro wrestling is an integral part of the online space.  The reason being is that it's not only a great conversation starter but you could also learn something new today about the industry you love.  That doesn't mean that all of the news you see on the timeline is reliable.  I'm here to hopefully give you a guide to wrestling sites.  There are many wrestling websites out there but I wanna highlight some of the notable ones.  Okay? Here we go.  #1: Wrestling Observer Newsletter aka F4WOnline.  I can't talk about a guide t...

WWE RAW 31/5/21 | A Coherent Review.

I was recently reading my RAW reviews from 2019 and the thing that is common in all of those reviews was that while I had some issues with those episodes, the shows were decent as a whole.  2021, however, is, of course, a different story. Ever since the fall of last year, I've been consistently getting terrible episode after terrible episode that is giving SNL a run for its money.  At this point, criticizing Monday Night RAW is a God damn routine.  Images via WWE.com   The Miz TV. Special Guest, Charlotte Flair.  As told by the headline above, the show opened with Miz TV. A segment that literally nobody looks forward to.   You had John Morrison legit wearing a necklace that is covered in garlic for protecting himself from any supernatural thing appearing which was PEAK CRINGE.  Charlotte Flair stated that she'll send Rhea Ripley to hell in 3 weeks (by the way, this is still a weird decision to move the Hell In A Cell show in the summer but whateve...
