WWE NXT 13/3/19 | My Coherent Review.

Last week's episode of NXT was one of the best NXT show of 2019 so far. The question is, Can this episode of NXT top that? No, but it was a decent episode though. 

Mustache Mountain vs The Forgotten Sons.

This was a decent match. During the match, Tyler Bate delivered a double aeroplane spin to Steve Cutler and Wesley Blake. The match ended with The Forgotten Sons did a reversed DDT into a double stomp from the top rope, won the match and is in the finals of the Dusty Rhodes Tag Team Classic. 

After the match, Matt Riddle was interrupted by Adam Cole and Adam said that he's deserving of a North American championship match. Riddle then proposed a match between himself and Adam Cole. Count me in. 

Io Shirai vs Bianca Belair.

This was okay. The match ended in a DQ because of the champ Shayna Baszler and she put Bianca Belair, Io Shirai and Kairi Sane to sleep with a clutch submission. Gotta be honest, not a fan of that ending. 

I get it that WWE wants to set up a fatal four-way match between all of those women but it made the champion look really dumb with that finish. Like can't Baszler just watch two wrestlers beat each other for an opportunity to face her rather than interfering the action if you know what I mean? I will say this, the percentage for Shayna Baszler losing the championship is pretty high.  

Aleister Black and Ricochet vs #DIY.

A very entertaining main event. Aleister Black’s moonsault mix with his quickness is a thing of wrestling beauty. The team of Aleister Black and Ricochet won the match with the black mass followed by a 630 splash from Ricochet. 

After the match, Tommaso Ciampa tried to turn on Johnny Gargano again but Gargano got the best in the NXT champion with the full sail crowd chanted “Johnny Wrestling”. I believe this is the Tommaso Ciampa’s last televised match before his neck surgery. Get well soon champ. 

So, to recap for all of you slow mofos: 

Like: Aleister Black and Ricochet vs #DIY. 

Didn't like: The ending of the Io Shirai vs Bianca Belair match.

The 5 News Week: An Interview With ROH's Eli Isom, Fans Singing Petitions For Charlotte Flair Not Winning Titles Anymore!?

Hello, my fellow wrestling fans and welcome to the 5 news week. The post where I report 5 major or minor news of the week that I don't have time to do it separately. Without further ado, here are the 5 news week. An Interview With ROH's Eli Isom.  Yes. After several and several and several of The 5 News Week articles that I've been putting out since late 2018, I finally got an interview for you guys.  The person in question is Ring Of Honour's Eli Isom. Since graduating from the ROH Dojo, Isom has worked and learned from the absolute best in the industry:  "I’m lucky that I got a chance to train from scratch with ROH, without that kind of training who knows where I’d be right now." So, without further ado, here is the conversation I had with Eli.  Omar: My first question is, how would you describe the persona of "Eli Isom" to resident WWE shills like myself? Eli Isom: For me, my wrestling persona isn’t too far off from who I real...

NXT Takeover: 30 | A Coherent Review.

NXT Takeovers have delivered greatly throughout the "30 years" of Takeover shows.  This one, in my opinion, wasn't it. For a Takeover program, this was disappointing.  All of the Takeovers are A's or B's and Takeover 30 was a C at best.  At least, I like the stage production set.  pictures via WWE.com PRESHOW: Breezango vs Legado De La Fantasma vs Oney Lorcan And Danny Burch. Winner Faces Imperium For The NXT Tag Team Championship.  It was a fine match. Joaquin Wilde's ring gear was really cool even though it took a bit out of the seriousness from the Legado De La Fantasma stable. I'm just nitpicking though.  Breezango actually won the match and will go on to face Imperium for the tag belts.  MAIN SHOW: Finn Balor vs Timothy Thatcher.  Timothy Thatcher started off this match with a series of punches which he then later transitioned into various submission moves.  Pretty much, Finn has no choice but to adapt to...

WWE Smackdown 17/12/21 | A Coherent Review.

Another week, another meh episode of Smackdown although the ending was pretty eye-opening.  Images via WWE.com   The Viking Raiders vs Jinder Mahal And Shanky.  After a backstage segment that included The Usos roasting Xavier Woods' kingship, the blue brand really started the show with a match (not this one) which is a rare thing to see on main roster television. And the match wasn't bad at all.  The Viking Raider defeated the team of Jinder and Shanky with a splash from Ivor. Does everyone want a Happy Corbin segment? Well, no and Drew McIntyre agrees as he took out Corbin and Madcap Moss to retrieve his sword which sounds like a bad King Arthur comedy flick or something.  Naomi Wants A Match With Sonya Deville.  Naomi is upset at how Sonya Deville acted like a Susan over the past few months so the glow queen challenged the actual manager to a match at Day 1 and Sonya was like, "Ahhhh, no".  Naomi then had a match with Shayna Baszler and within minute...
