WWE NXT 24/4/19 | My Coherent Review.

This was a meh episode of NXT. If this is the first time that somebody watches NXT with this episode then you'll have a hard time convincing that particular person to watch another episode you know what I mean? 

The Forgotten Sons’ Jaxson Ryker vs Humberto Carrillo.

I don't watch 205 live but I'm loving every time Humberto wrestles. The match ended in a double count out because Ryker was beating the crap out of Carrillo until Danny Burch and Oney Lorcan showed up to save the young luchador. Not a fan of the Forgotten Sons but this feud for some reason made me wanna watch those two teams fight and I don't know why exactly. 

After that, Adam Cole was asked backstage in a photo shoot about the Roderick Strong vs Johnny Gargano match until Matt Riddle showed up and said that it's his turn which led to Adam Cole leaving the shoot. 

Aliyah and Vanessa Bourne vs Candice LeRae and Kacy Catanzaro.

This was okay. The team of Candice LeRae and Kacy Catanzaro won the match with a springboard moonsault from LeRae. 

Cathy Kelly asked Io Shirai about the actions from Baszler last week and Io Shirai was about to speak until Shayna and the gang came from behind and the gang helped Shayna kicked Io right in the mouth. 

Also something that happened backstage, Kassius Ohno asked William Regal if Ohno could face the debuting Kushida and After Kassius left, William Regal made the match official. This should be very interesting. 

The Street Profits vs The War Raiders aka The Viking Raiders.

The match started quickly with a frog splash from Montez Ford and Rowe kicked out of 2. The War Raiders won the match with a double team slam to Montez Ford. Overall a good match. 

There were three interviewers asking Mia Yim about Shayna owning the NXT Women's division and Yim said that she learned a lot ever since facing the women's champion and she wants another shot at facing Shayna Baszler. 

Johnny Gargano vs Roderick Strong.

A decent main event. By the end of the match, The rest of Undisputed Era came out to save Strong and Matt Riddle showed up from behind to even the odds. Adam Cole then accidentally kicked Roderick Strong which led to Johnny Gargano delivering the slingshot DDT. After the match, there seemed to be some tension between Roderick Strong and his buddies. 

So, to recap for all of you slow mofos: 

Like: The Street Profits vs The War Raiders. 

Didn't like: after thinking long and hard, I have no negatives for this episode.

WWE RAW 11/2/19 | My Coherent Review.

This go home show makes me wanna go home if I was an attendance of this show. In other words, RAW wasn't good and here's why.  Opening Segment.  The show started off with The Authority. A stable that I actually don't mind but that a different topic. Anyways, they run down the Elimination Chamber PPV card. After that, The Man Becky Lynch came out and Triple H said that he will lift the suspension if Becky apologizes to both him and Stephanie.    Becky then told Stephanie to shut her face and she refused to apologize. The segment ended with Hunter giving her two choices. Either Becky apologizes to them or Becky's WrestleMania match is off.  Compared to the segments on RAW and Smackdown last week, this was underwhelming.  Sasha and Bayley vs Liv Morgan and Sarah Logan vs Nia Jax and Tamina. Loser enters first in the Elimination Chamber match.  The match was fine. During the match, Bayley delivered two stunners on the ...

AEW Full Gear 2020 | A Coherent Review.

While Full Gear was a big improvement compared to All Out, the pacing in their PPVs still needs a LOT of work.  I was yawning way too much in the 2nd hour even though I had a 9-hour sleep yesterday.   With a card like this, it doesn't need to be 4 hours.  Oh, and that Serena Deeb and Allysin Kay match on the pre-show was decent.  Kenny Omega vs Hangman Page. AEW World Championship Number One Contender's Tournament Finals.  Hangman Page doesn't have time to play "sportsmanship" as he's nailing Omega with some brutal elbow strikes throughout the first 10 or so minutes.  Speaking of brutal, Page delivered a devastating powerbomb on the stage ramp to Omega and then a sitout powerbomb in the ring to a near fall.  Unfortunately for Hangman, he was taken out with the one-winged angel from Kenny to win the entire tournament.  An enjoyable opener although it could've been just a tiny bit better but I'm nitpicking.  The elite brand will have an an...

A Guide On How To Improve Wrestling Criticism Vol.2

Last spring, I wrote an article about how to critique pro wrestling better aka "a guide on how to improve wrestling criticism" . I got some positive takes on it but the question is, why did I produce the second edition?  Well, you have to thank the awful videos and articles that I, unfortunately, consumed but at least, I wrote down some notes that contained the number of bad critiques that I was passionately blasted down on.  Like I mentioned in last year's piece, I am just an average fan that doesn't claim to be an expert in any form of criticism because YouTube will definitely give you the "I'm right, you're wrong" type of content.  This is just a learning process for not only the viewers reading this but myself as we all are trying to get better.  Without further explanation, let's guide you  to a better critique in wrestling (at least I hope so) numbra dos.  #1. Focusing Too Much On Logic (and no, I'm not talking abou...
