WWE NXT 20/2/19 | My Coherent Review.

This episode of NXT TV was okay overall with a great main event and here's why. 

Aleister Black vs Roderick Strong.

This show kicked off with a decent match. Aleister Black won the match with the black mass to Strong. After the match, the rest of the Undisputed Era came out with a 2 on 1 assault to Black. That led to Ricochet coming out to Aleister’s rescue. 

After that, a backstage segment happened where Shayna Baszler and her gang were arguing with half of the women's division in the locker room. 

This announcement has me excited because the Dusty Rhodes Tag Team Classic tournament is coming back in two weeks. The first 4 teams that are competing in this tournament on NXT TV two weeks from now are The Forgotten Sons, Undisputed Era, Street Profits and the team of Fabian Aichner and Marcel Barthel. The final 4 teams will be announced next week on NXT. 

Mia Yim vs Xia Li.

Not a fan of this match to be honest. It's not terrible but it was boring. After Mia Yim wins this match with Seoul food (or Protect Ya Neck), Shayna and the gang rushed to the ring with a beatdown. The women's division came out to save Mia Yim but they got their backside kicked by her gang. This is a way for keeping Shayna Baszler busy with a short feud while Bianca Belair and Io Shirai are feuding so I don't mind the ending based on that situation. 

Minutes after that, a backstage interaction between former DIY buddies and Johnny Gargano wife, Candice  LeRae which is rather intriguing. 

Johnny Gargano vs Velveteen Dream for the NXT North American Championship.

Before the match started, somebody in the crowd tore the Johnny Gargano sign in front of him and Gargano didn't see it which made me laugh. Nevertheless, this was a fantastic bout between those two. Velveteen Dream won the match with the purple rainmaker so in other words, Velveteen Dream is the New North American champion. Congratulations to the D-R-E-A-M is. 

So, to recap for all of you slow mofos: 

Like: the Main event.

Didn't like: Mia Yim vs Xia Li.

My Coherent Wrestling Wednesdays: Three Big Returns, A Great Inaugural Women's Championship Match.

If you have been a fan of this site since January, then you'll know that I've completely rebooted my review process and now, I'm doing that again.  Don't worry, the format for my RAW, Smackdown and PPV reviews will still be the same but not on Wednesdays. So, here it is, My Coherent Wrestling Wednesdays.  NXT The Highlights. Adam Cole vs Matt Riddle For The NXT Championship.  A match that opened this episode of the yellow brand, the original bro and the leader of The Undisputed Era tore the house down.  Whether it's Cole reversing the fireman's carry from Riddle into a backstabber, Cole hitting a Panama sunrise twice, a floating bro or the crowd chanting "Adam Cole, bro", it was a visual statement by NXT that the yellow brand is THE brand to watch.  Unfortunately,  Riddle felt short and ate the last shot but there was another highlight I wanna talk about….. Finn Balor Returns To N. X. T.  It's not a typo my friends, Finn ...

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...
