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:

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...

The 5 News Week: Master P Buying House Of Glory!?, NXT TV To Air In Different Arenas!?

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 . Sorry for not posting in two days. Just some personal stuff I gotta deal with and my Coherent Wednesdays review was a bit rushed and I want to nail it in a no pun intended, coherent matter if that makes any sense? Hopefully, my reviews will get better in the coming weeks.  Master P Buying House Of Glory!?  A great example of human beings having an unpredictable nature to them (ask Vince McMahon), Master P was interviewed somewhere in Manhattan and he announced that he has brought an independent wrestling promotion based in New York called House Of Glory or HOG which was founded by Brian XL and Impact Alumni Amazing Red in 2014.  PWInsider and Mike Johnson gave an update to this story stating that Master P will deliver the "muscle and production team" goi...

WWE NXT 17/7/19 | My Coherent Review.

I didn't feel anything about this show overall besides one very good match and an impactful debut. Here's why.  Matt Riddle vs Arturo Ruas.  Those two guys have a background in MMA so it was really interesting as to how the match turned out. Started out with some technical wrestling which if you've been a follower of this blog then you'll know how much I LOVE technical submission wrestling.   The match ended with Matt Riddle delivering a series of rights and the ref stopped it which means that Matt won the match. After that, a masked man revealed as Killan Dan was beating the crap out of him and it was so bad that Mauro Ranallo screamed "Mamma Mia" on top of his lungs which is pretty rare. I actually really liked this. It's a different way to debut somebody and insert that person quickly in a feud instead of having that superstar wrestle in so many squash matches which I don't mind if they went in that route.  The Street Profits ...
