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.

WWE NXT Takeover: Toronto | My Coherent Review.

Another month or so, another great NXT Takeover event courtesy of the NXT creative team filled with top-notch in-ring action and storytelling. I know it feels tiresome when you heard people praise highly talk about the Takeover shows but trust me they are that good.  The Street Profits vs The Undisputed Era for the NXT Tag Team Championship. During the match, Montez Ford delivered the people's elbow after hitting a spinebuster on Bobby Fish. The match ended with a frog splash from Montez Ford and The Street Profits continues to celebrate as tag team champions.  I'm very conflicted with this decision mainly because I don't want to see more okay matches between The Forgotten Sons and Danny Burch and Oney Lorcan but I'm going to be optimistic hoping that it's not the case.  Io Shirai vs Candice Lerae.  Io's theme song is simple yet badass at the same time (no shit, Omar). The match started off with Candice rushing to the ring and brawled on the outs...

WWE RAW 13/7/20 | A Coherent Review.

I didn't like this show. Thankfully, this episode didn't pull a Smackdown but because of how well last week's show went, I felt really underwhelmed watching that.   MVP Lounge. Special Guest, Dolph Ziggler.  Montel Von Porter welcomed his guest that shares a common hatred for Drew McIntyre and that guest is, of course, Dolph Ziggler.  Ziggler compliments the new United States championship design to which MVP let him know that he'll talk to his people and get a new WWE championship design once the show-off, wins the championship (and honestly, Ziggler's got a point, the WWE Title needs a new design).  Dolph further tells MVP that he's the reason why Drew defeated Brock Lesnar at Wrestlemania for the WWE title.  Out came the Scotsmen himself and he basically said that he'll beat the crap out of him and Dolph got a bit of that with a punch. An enjoyable segment.  The thing I kind of appreciate about this feud is that Dolph...

Finn Balor Is Indeed Out Of Action.

A couple of days ago, WWE announced that Finn Balor suffered an injury and didn't specify on what the injury was. His last match, by the way, was a triple threat match at a house show last Wednesday in Santiago, Chile against Dolph Ziggler and Drew McIntyre to which McIntrye won.  It turns out that Finn wasn't dealing with an injury at all, at least according to Mike Johnson over at  PWinsider . Instead, Balor is dealing with an illness and couldn't continue the Latin America tour. Finn is also unable to compete on the Mixed Match Challenge, replacing him with Apollo Crews. But the powers that be believe that he's 100% ready for TLC next week. Here's what he had to say about that via Twitter:  I am sorry I could not preform in #WWEBuenosAires Lo siento no pude competir en #WWEBuenosAires — Finn Bálor forEVERYone (@FinnBalor) December 7, 2018   I wish him nothing but a speedy recovery.  By the way, I report on the 5 major or minor news of ...
