WWE NXT 6/2/19 | My Coherent Review.

Hello my fellow wrestling fans reading this and welcome to my coherent review for NXT. Was it any good? It was actually and here's why. 

Opening Segment. 

WWE Photo
The show opened with the new North American champ, Johnny Gargano and the champ said that Johhny Wrestling is back. Out came the NXT champion and the best heel in all of WWE, Tomasso Ciampa and he cut a promo basically saying that he's not here to interrupt his moment but rather celebrate his moment and they own the world. 

Johhny replied by saying that this is not their moment and the reason why he came out after Takeover Pheonix is to show him that he will never need Ciampa. The Velveteen Dream's music's hit and he said that this not about them. This is about The Velveteen Dream. Dream then chose to face Johhny Gargano for the North American championship to which Gargano accepted. Ooh, I can wait to watch that match. Overall a good segment. 

Jaxson Ryker vs Mansoor.

During this match, Mansoor looked very impressive. Watch out for him. Anyways, the match itself was rather a quick one. Ryker won the match with a sitout spinebuster. After the match, He delivered another sitout spinebuster to Mansoor. 

After that, a backstage segment happened where Cathy Kelly wanted to interview Ricochet but Adam Cole came out and said that Ricochet is a one trick pony. Ricochet then interrupted and proposed him to a match next week and see who's the more deserving for the NXT North American championship to which Cole accepted. Intrigued. 

Drew Gulak vs Eric Bugenhagen.

Eric's scream is just laughable to me and I don't know how this is not a meme. Anyways, the match was fine. Drew won the match with the Dragon Sleeper. Drew then cut a promo basically saying that he feels disrespected and calls out whoever wants to challenge him. 

That person was none other than Matt Riddle and Matt says that Drew should leave NXT or he's gonna tap him out and throw him back to 205 live. Drew says that he would love to make his day and that's how the match was made. 

This was a match that depending on your taste, you may like it or not and I did like this match. Matt Riddle wins here with the bro mission. I feel like this match was a great way to show off Riddle's submission skills and that's why I appreciate so much about this match. 

Bianca Belair, Io Shirai and Kari Sane vs Shayna Baszler, Jessamyn Duke and Marina Shafir. 

WWE Photo
First off, I really liked Belair's ring gear. Secondly, the match was fine. The team of Bianca Belair, Io Shirai and Kari Sane won the match with Io delivered the moonsault to Baszler. Really interesting that Shirai pinned the NXT Women's championship. I think the match that really makes sense at this point is an Io Shirai vs Bianca Belair number one contender's match for the Women's championship. 

So, to recap for all of you slow mofos: 

Like: Opening segment, Drew Gulak vs Matt Riddle match. 

Didn't like: (none).

WWE NXT Takeover: XXV | My Coherent Review.

Look guys, I don't need to tell you this. This was a great show. Now, you're probably be asking "if you don't need to tell me this then why are you to quote yourself, TELLING ME THIS!?" Good question but the reason why is because I like to talk about great pro wrestling.  Matt Riddle vs Roderick Strong.  An absolute must rewatch match for me and a must watch for you guys if you haven't seen it. Match started off with some amateur wrestling style takedown from both guys.  Then, Roderick Strong hit a modified back suplex on the ring apron. By then, Riddle hits Strong with a brainbuster. Riddle had the highlight of that match by hitting Strong with a go to sleep (yes, that go to sleep) into a German suplex with a bridge.  Roderick hits a powerbomb pin into a Boston crab then the match ends with Riddle delivered with a move that I wish I knew what the name of it was.  Street Profits vs The Forgotten Sons (in Steve Cutler and Wesley Blake) vs The Undi...

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...

A Guide On How To Improve Wrestling Criticism.

Now, before you all verbally eat me alive like a hippopotamus (yes hippos eat humans, look that up), understand that I’m just an average dude writing about pro wrestling and doesn’t claim to be an expert in anything and that includes professional wrestling (except cooking. I’m damn good at cooking).  However, what I’ve been discovering as a pro wrestling blogger for over a year is that there are some wrestling criticism out there that just make me wanna scratch my head to the point where my hands turn into an electric shaver if that makes sense. For instance, “Why is Ricochet’s trunks red instead of white?” or “Why’s Andrade wearing his Luchador mask for his entrance every week?”  In other words, they’re nitpicking and trust me I do that ALL THE TIME in my wrestling reviews. There’s nothing wrong with nitpicking certain things but the difference is that I acknowledge that I’m nitpicking and those guys clearly don’t.  There are fans out there on the interweb that b...
