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.

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...

WWE Wrestlemania: Backlash 2021 | A Coherent Review.

Wrestlemania: Backlash or as I like to call it, Backlashimania, gets an enthusiastic thumbs up for me. I enjoyed the hell out of this PPV overall.  Images via WWE.com The opening intro was narrated by the greatest of all time, Batista and it was straight badass despite the fact it was pretty much a promotion for Zack Snyder's new film, Army Of The Dead.  If you've read my about page, then you'll know that I ain't talking about Zack Snyder movies because his fans are…… never mind.  Rhea Ripley vs Charlotte Flair vs Asuka For The RAW Women's Championship.  Charlotte with the Cruella De Vil inspired ring gear was to quote Dolph Ziggler's old theme song, "perfection". The opening bout was fast-paced, high octane action that didn't have a slow/dull moment.  All of these women utilized quick grapples and strikes to their advantage.  Charlotte was this close to capturing the title but she was pushed to the outside, nailed the riptide to Asuka and that...
