WWE NXT 27/3/19 | My Coherent Review.

This episode of NXT was a solid effort from the NXT creative team but it wasn't all that amazing besides one particular segment. Oh, and the band Disturbed’s new song is one of the theme songs for NXT Takeover New York and when was the last time a Disturbed song has been a theme song for a PPV? (Wow, that's a lot of a’s). 

Adam Cole Wants to Make His Championship Match Undisputed.

The show started off with The Undisputed Era leader himself, Adam Cole. Cole cut a promo about how he outlasted 4 of the best NXT superstars. 

He then called out Johnny Gargano to which Johhny Gargano came out with “Johnny Wrestling, Adam Cole” chants from the full sail crowd that lasted in what feels like forever and Cole told the crowd that he doesn't need their support while Gargano said that he loves the “Johnny Wrestling” chants. After that, Gargano said that Adam Cole is in the fight of his life at Takeover. 

Adam Cole replied by calling Gargano “Johnny Participation” (which made me laugh) and asked Gargano a question “what has Johnny Takeover done to earn this championship match at Takeover New York?” Johnny answered the question by saying that he's worked really hard to get a single opportunity for 15 years and worked so hard that the crowd started to chant his name. 

Gargano ended the promo by saying that he's gonna become N. X. T. Champion which led to Adam Cole telling his challenger that Triple H proclaimed that the match at Takeover will be definitive but he's wrong. The NXT championship match at Takeover New York will be Undisputed. What a great line and what a segment.

Look, I'm already excited for this match but this segment enhanced my excitement for this 2 out of 3 falls match. 

Vanessa Bourne and Aliyah vs Lacy Lane and Kacy Catanzaro.

Minutes after the match started, Shayna and the gang interfered in the match. Ending the match in a DQ. Other than Kacy’s athleticism, the ending and the match itself was whatever to me. 

Matt Riddle vs Kona Reeves.

The match was okay. During the match, The Velveteen Dream came out and sat on a couch in the stage area with a drink on his hand and that distracted Riddle which led to Reeves delivering the back suplex but Riddle kicked out. 

The match ended with Riddle delivered the bro mission and won the match. After the match, Matt Riddle told The Velveteen Dream that he will see The Dream at Takeover. 

The Forgotten Sons vs Aleister Black and Ricochet. Dusty Rhodes Tag Team Classic Tournament Finals.

That was a goooood main event. Obviously, the team of Aleister Black and Ricochet won the match with the 630 to Wesley Blake. Congratulations to those guys and this Dusty Rhodes Tag Team Classic tournament is probably my favourite one considering that we've witnessed many match of the year candidates in that tournament. 

So, to recap for all of you slow mofos: 

Like: The Forgotten Sons vs Aleister Black and Ricochet. Dusty Rhodes Tag Team Classic Tournament Finals, The opening segment. 

Didn't like: Nothing.

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...

WWE Survivor Series 2018 | My Coherent Review.

Hello, my fellow wrestling fans reading this and welcome to my coherent review for Survivor Series 2018. Overall, it was a very entertaining show throughout with some minor issues and here's why.  (KICK OFF SHOW) Tag team Survivor Series match  This match was a great example of a skippable match until the last moments.  Xavier Woods did the springboard elbow drop and both members of The Revival countered that into a shatter machine which look amazing.  Minutes later, Scott Dawson hit a superplex to Jimmy Uso and an immediate frog splash from Dash Wilder to a near fall.  After that, Both Usos hit a superkick to Dash followed by a Uso splash and just like that, the Smackdown team took the W which WWE wants to forget about that (so stupid). A decent match but with a boring start in my opinion.  (MAIN SHOW) Women’s Survivor Series match  Before the match started when Nia Jax’s music hit, she got volcanic heat from the Los Ang...

WWE RAW 29/7/19 | My Coherent Review.

There were decisions being made on this show that I would've done it differently if I was on their spot but as a whole, this show was decent and unlike last week's episode, it actually made some progress going into Summerslam.  Drake Maverick and Renee Michelle vs R Truth and Carmella. 24/7 championship. Lumberjack Match.  First off, that intro about the 24/7 title was great. Shout out to the production guys for that. Also, mosh pit? Isn't this a lumberjack match? Anyways, the match ends quickly with a reverse suplex from Truth and then, The rest of the roster (yes, all of them) pinned R Truth to which Mike Kanellis of all people won the match.  He then went inside the WWE officials' room and Maria Kanellis knocked on that door. Maria Kanellis said that if he doesn't open that door then she'll kick him in his "vagina". That line was random yet funny. As far as the 24/7 championship shenanigans are concerned, it was not offensive but it...
