WWE NXT 17/4/19 | My Coherent Review.

This was a wrestling heavy show for the most part and you know what? I like it. 

Velveteen Dream vs Buddy Murphy for the NXT North American Championship. 

WWE Photo
Great match. During the match, Velveteen Dream hit a superkick to Murphy that knocked Murphy's head off. Minutes later, Murphy hits a superkick while Dream was upside down followed by a sitout powerbomb to a near fall. 

The match ended with Dream does his signature moves in the death valley driver and the purple rainmaker and won the match. Again, that was a great TV match and I know this early to say this but that was a match of the year candidate. 

After this amazing encounter, Street Profits was knocking on William Regal’s office door and the War Raiders (yes, I'm gonna call them that because The Viking Experience is an AWFUL name) came from Regal’s and said that The Street Profits are getting their championship match next week. Weird that The Viking Experience wore the War Raiders shirt. 

Johnny Champion Talks about his big win at NXT Takeover: New York.

Johnny Gargano cut a promo basically saying that this a moment he's been waiting for. Out came Adam Cole and the rest of Undisputed Era to spoil the celebration and he said that Johnny Gargano win was a fluke with chants of “You tapped out”. 

Gargano replied by saying that his win was undisputed and he's not gonna cry like a little bay bay if he lost the match (that was a great line). Roderick Strong from behind assaulted the champ along with the rest of Undisputed Era. Good segment. The question is, Are we gonna get a rematch? Hope so. 

Dominic Djakovic vs Aaron Frye.

That was a squash match. Dominic Djakovic with a dominant victory with a big boot. After the match, He cut a promo basically saying that he wants the North American Championship. 

Oh, and a match between Johnny Gargano and Roderick Strong is scheduled for next week's episode. Also, Kushida will debut on NXT TV in two weeks. Can’t wait. 

Shayna Baszler vs Kairi Sane for the NXT Women's Championship. 

WWE Photo
During the match, Shayna Baszler beat up Kairi Sane arm so bad that the medical team came out to check on Kairi. After Shayna hits Sane on her arm, Io Shirai came out and pushed Shayna Baszler which led to the match ending in a DQ. 

That was a unique ending. I thought that maybe somewhere down the road WWE could build a feud where Kairi Sane was angry at Io Shirai considering that Io costed Kairi’s championship match but I don't know if that's gonna happen. 

So, to recap for all of you slow mofos:

Like: Dream vs Murphy for the NXT North American Championship, Johnny Gargano interaction with the Undisputed Era in an in-ring segment. 

Didn't like: Nothing really.

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...
