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 

Image result for Keith Lee
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.

The 5 News Week: An Interview With ROH's Eli Isom, Fans Singing Petitions For Charlotte Flair Not Winning Titles Anymore!?

Hello, my fellow wrestling fans and welcome to the 5 news week. The post where I report 5 major or minor news of the week that I don't have time to do it separately. Without further ado, here are the 5 news week. An Interview With ROH's Eli Isom.  Yes. After several and several and several of The 5 News Week articles that I've been putting out since late 2018, I finally got an interview for you guys.  The person in question is Ring Of Honour's Eli Isom. Since graduating from the ROH Dojo, Isom has worked and learned from the absolute best in the industry:  "I’m lucky that I got a chance to train from scratch with ROH, without that kind of training who knows where I’d be right now." So, without further ado, here is the conversation I had with Eli.  Omar: My first question is, how would you describe the persona of "Eli Isom" to resident WWE shills like myself? Eli Isom: For me, my wrestling persona isn’t too far off from who I real...

WWE Smackdown 17/12/21 | A Coherent Review.

Another week, another meh episode of Smackdown although the ending was pretty eye-opening.  Images via WWE.com   The Viking Raiders vs Jinder Mahal And Shanky.  After a backstage segment that included The Usos roasting Xavier Woods' kingship, the blue brand really started the show with a match (not this one) which is a rare thing to see on main roster television. And the match wasn't bad at all.  The Viking Raider defeated the team of Jinder and Shanky with a splash from Ivor. Does everyone want a Happy Corbin segment? Well, no and Drew McIntyre agrees as he took out Corbin and Madcap Moss to retrieve his sword which sounds like a bad King Arthur comedy flick or something.  Naomi Wants A Match With Sonya Deville.  Naomi is upset at how Sonya Deville acted like a Susan over the past few months so the glow queen challenged the actual manager to a match at Day 1 and Sonya was like, "Ahhhh, no".  Naomi then had a match with Shayna Baszler and within minute...

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...
