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.

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.

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).

WrestleFest DXB's Fahrenheit 971 | A Coherent W.

  Being a fan of pro wrestling (or any other medium of entertainment) does have its pros and cons when engaging with the industry as a whole.  On one hand, you've witnessed an Eddie Kingston promo that'll make you tear up more than the opening scene of Up.  On the other hand, going to the wrestling subreddit will definitely have you questioning humanity as a whole and the fact that living in an area where a wrestling presence pretty much doesn't exist like a Vince Russo-written storyline that is, you know, GOOD!?  Luckily, the latter retracted my con as a fan because I'm talking about Wrestlefest DXB and their latest joint, "971 Fahrenheit".  Martin Bushby of now Post Wrestling Alumni brought the event to my attention because like a wrestler on an episode of RAW I get distracted all the time.  So, I decided to take a short journey to a taxi then a bus then a train then a 30-minute walk to the show itself and I know I'm going to sound biased as f**k but I l...

Let's Talk About The White Rabbit In The Room.

I haven't reviewed last year's show mainly because it was so good and clearly as extreme as any ECW match and I'm happy to tell all 3 of y'all that this one is better by several inches or so. Why? *slaps my bald head* HERE'S WHY. The opening match between Sheamus and Gunther's crew ruled harder than the Mongolian empire.  It was basically an enhanced version of Sheamus' match with Gunther last night on Smackdown and I loved it.  The Brawling Brutes' victory means one thing that is clearly obvious, a rematch between Sheamus and Gunther for the intercontinental championship aka the only series of rematches I don't mind.  Ronda Rousey and Liv Morgan delivered in what was a wrestling match equivalent to the X-Men Dark Phoenix movie.  While Bianca Belair and Bayley had their equivalent to the first Iron Man movie in that it was decent.  Drew McIntyre and Karrion Kross had an okay edition of the "Meaty men slapping meat".  That spear from Edge to...

A Few Thoughts On RAW And Smackdown: RAW wasn't GREAT!?

  Since this blog will be less of a priority now considering I'm focusing on my podcast now (hit the 5 stars on Apple Podcast you sons of b*tches), I decided to share my few thoughts on RAW, Smackdown, I guess?  Smackdown.  The blue brand delivered yet another good episode this week and it's probably due to the fact that Braun Strowman taking out the Maximum Model is high-key funny as f**k.  The folks over at Titan Towers are bringing back the essence of their characters whether it's Kevin Owens, Shayna Baszler or in this case, Big Braun himself.   As a fan, you gotta love it, especially since in the case of Strowman, the dude hasn't been the same since he turned heel 4 years ago when feuding with Roman Reigns for the universal title.   Other noteworthy segments include Logan Paul challenging Roman Reigns for the big world universal multiverse galactic cinematic championship.  Imagine they pulled that match off 7 years ago back when Logan was on V...
