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.

The 5 News Week: Quick Predictions On Wrestlemania: Backlash.

Hello, my fellow wrestling fans and welcome to the 5 news week. The post where I report 5 major or minor pro wrestling news, rumours and spoilers of the week that I don't have time to do it separately.  Without further ado, here are the 5 news week.   A Brief Thoughts On AEW Dynamite.  For the first time on this very series, I am going to briefly discuss my thoughts on AEW Dynamite and it was decent for the most part. I do have some perspectives on a few key things.  Most notably, that Cody Rhodes promo which by the way, was without exaggeration, one of the worst PROMOS I've ever witnessed as a 14 year veteran in the wrestling fandom.  The overall dialogue was an example of American imperialism and without a little or too much propaganda (while having the basic understanding of American imperialism), it exposed the very dated nature of the "America vs foreign heel" storyline.  Let's move on to the positives. Miro's booking in recent months has been exc...

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...

The Coherent Wrestling Wednesdays: The Dusty Rhodes Tag Team Classic Is Here, A Fantastic TNT Championship Match.

AEW’s New Year’s Smash night 2 is not a bad show. However, it wasn’t enough to be the better show of the night because NXT DELIVERED in my opinion. The main reason?  Well, it was, of course, the Dusty Rhodes Tag Team Classic. NXT’s (or WWE for that matter) biggest weakness is their tag team division so It’s nice to see some showcase of diverse teams.  I’m hoping they keep that momentum after the tournament but we shall see.  some images via WWE.com NXT   Highlights.  A Possible Finn Balor vs Pete Dunne Bout!?  The reason why I wrote that headline above is that they had a bit of verbal interaction in the segment following the LeRae and Blackheart match which led to a brawl between Balor, Dunne, Lorcan and Burch, Kylie O'Reilly and his UE members.  I'm not gonna lie, if this is where Finn's championship goes from here, I'm all in.  Grizzled Young Veterans vs Ever-Rise. Dusty Tag Team Classic Tournament. The Grizzled Young Veterans advanced to t...
