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).

My Coherent Wrestling Wednesdays: A Broserweight Road Trip To Portland, Britt Baker Addresses Her Attack On Yuka Sakazaki Last Week.

While this was a typical night for AEW, NXT, however, had a go-home show to deliver just days before the next anticipated Takeover show in Portland, Oregon.  But, NXT's final show before the second Takeover of 2020 didn't bring it, unfortunately, in terms of quality as the 20th episode of AEW Dynamite was the better show this week even though AEW Dynamite is a hit or miss program.  NXT    Highlights.  Roderick Strong vs Bronson Reed. Before the match, a pissed off Roderick Strong demanded an apology from the Velveteen Dream given that Dream put his wife and child's face on his trucks.  By the way, Bronson Reed's theme song is killer and so is this match. A slow, technical, old-school type of match that wouldn't fit the big man on paper but the execution was a different story.  The lights turned purple and Reed hits the suicide dive but he missed a Samoan splash that led to a knee strike from Strong and wins the match.  Then,...

Top 3 BEST Distraction Finishes EVER!

Distraction endings to a wrestling match in WWE depend on one another if you think about it. It's like the peanut butter and jelly or the chicken and the basmati biryani rice or Dan Lambert and sexism.  "Why top 3", you may ask? Because one, I'm different and two, well, I'm different, so be gone to the mofos that think it's shorter than Brock Lesnar's bout with Kofi Kingston.  (WARNING: This piece is mostly sarcasm).  Daniel Bryan vs Sheamus. Wrestlemania 28.  I know this made your eyebrows raise as high as Rocky Maivia but think about this. The kiss from AJ Lee that led to a brogue kick from Sheamus, has in some way, led to the general audience seeing how Daniel Bryan should be WAY higher in the overall arc than where he was at that time.  Also, this was also the year where Bryan showed off his comedic chops with his "NO" catchphrase and his tag team run with the big red conservative, Kane.  If anything, this distraction finish was a great chara...

Roman Reigns Relinquishes The Universal Title Because He Has Leukemia.

I have a sad and unfortunate news to break. Two hours ago on RAW, Roman cut a great promo pretty much stating that he's been living with leukemia for over 11 years and the disease's return forced him to give up the universal championship. The segment ended with both shield members Dean Ambrose and Seth Rollins gave a group hug to Roman and did the triple shield fist pump. Ever since that, fellow WWE superstars reacted to the news on Twitter and here are the tweets so far. An amazing human being, an incredible performer & a man I’m proud to be friends with. My thoughts & prayers are with you & your family. Get well soon, champ! #ThankYouRoman https://t.co/jL1Q5dVvzs — #WOKEN, yet #BROKEN, Matt Hardy (@MATTHARDYBRAND) October 23, 2018 My heart right now ....
