WWE NXT 6/3/19 | My Coherent Review.

The first series of matches in the Dusty Rhodes Tag Team Classic tournament has finally arrived but was it that good? Hell yea it was. If you just wanna watch guys wrestle then this is the episode for you.  

Before I get to talk about NXT this week, it has been confirmed by WWE that Tommaso Ciampa will undergo neck surgery later today considering that WWE announced it around 14 hours ago. Dave Meltzer first broke the story on the Wrestling Observer Radio (click here to listen the full audio on this). 

By the way, I read an article from Rothmanorto.com about the Anterior Cervical Fusion recovery process and it takes 3 to 6 months but the result may depend on the patient so keep that in mind. I wish Ciampa nothing but a speedy recovery and will see how the NXT championship scene goes from here. 

Aleister Black and Ricochet vs Fabian Aichner and Marcel Barthel.

That springboard moonsault to Ricochet from Aichner was PICTURE PERFECT. Anyways, This was a great match. No shocker, the team of Aleister Black and Ricochet won the match with the black mass to Fabian Aichner. What an encounter between all four men. 

After the match, a rematch between Dominic Djakovic vs Keith Lee has been scheduled for NXT in two weeks. My wish came true guys. Can't wait. 

The Forgotten Sons vs Oney Lorcan and Danny Burch.

This was a hard hitting match. Oney Lorcan was selling his injured back and that was a big disadvantage because The Forgotten Sons won the match with a powerbomb into a backstabber. 

Immediately after that, The Velveteen Dream came out and stands on the announce table. Velveteen Dream grabbed a microphone and he reminded everybody that he's the North American champion. 

The Original Bro, Matt Riddle came out and he said that he wants to take a closer look at that championship and wonders how it would look like around his waist. The Dream replied by putting a spotlight on him which was perfection. 

A match between The Velveteen Dream and The Original Bro for the North American Championship? Sign me up. 

A number one contender's match has announced for NXT TV next week between Io Shirai and Bianca Belair. Looking forward to that. 

Moustache Mountain vs Street Profits.

Another good tag team match. Moustache Mountain won the match with a reverse fireman's carry from Trent Seven into a stomp from Tyler Bate. This was a shocker for me given that Trent Seven and Tyler Bate are currently on the NXT UK roster and I thought this was an easy win from the Street Profits. 

Undisputed Era vs #DIY.

Nice to hear the #DIY theme song. The match itself was fantastic. The team of Johnny Gargano won the match with the #DIY kick or at least that's what I call it. 

So, to recap for all of you slow mofos: 

Like: Every single tag match in that tournament so far. 

Didn't like: Nothing.

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 ....
