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 21/1/22 | A Coherent Review.

  Another week, another time Pat McAfee shows me why he's better than Corey Graves. Both in the ring AND on the commentary table.  As far as how I feel about this week's episode, it ain't good, people. It ain't good.  An Image via WWE.com   Sethy Mane Wanted A Tag Partner So….………. That he faces The Usos later in the show and if drippy Jesus wins, 2 out of 3 members of the Bloodline are barred off ringside in the blue title encounter (in case you were wondering, Kevin Owens was Seth's tag partner).  BUTTTTTTTTTTTT! The tribal chief had other ideas. He proposed a pitch where if the "burn it down" man loses the tag match, the Rumble match is gone, FINITO!  Bully Ray probably saw Seth Rollins' uttering Jox Moxley's name and reacted, "HOW DARE YOU!! BLASPHEMY!"  Fortunately for SR The Drip Mane, he got what he wanted via a DQ finish thanks to a superman punch from Roman Reigns. While the ending did protect the tag champs, the consequences of i...

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...

WWE Smackdown 17/7/20 | A Coherent Review.

This recent instalment of Smackdown was decent.  The women, for the most part, was the standout in this program and it honestly carried the show from a meh to a decent watch.  The show started off with Jeff Hardy and Sheamus talking about the upcoming bar fight which you can scroll down to read my thoughts on it.  Sasha Banks and Bayley Gives Us A New Perspective Of The Word "Greatness".  The so-called "golden role models" were praising their greatness to which Nikki Cross was furious about the way she lost at Extreme Rules.  So, Nikki wanted a rematch for the SmackDown women's championship and Bayley accepted that bout if Nikki faces her best friend, Alexa Bliss to determine the number one contender.  That match started immediately after this segment and it was a good opener.  Bayley and Sasha Banks were entertaining in the commentary as per usual.  When Corey Graves brought the fact that Bayley didn't want t...
