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 Smackdown 17/12/21 | A Coherent Review.

Another week, another meh episode of Smackdown although the ending was pretty eye-opening.  Images via WWE.com   The Viking Raiders vs Jinder Mahal And Shanky.  After a backstage segment that included The Usos roasting Xavier Woods' kingship, the blue brand really started the show with a match (not this one) which is a rare thing to see on main roster television. And the match wasn't bad at all.  The Viking Raider defeated the team of Jinder and Shanky with a splash from Ivor. Does everyone want a Happy Corbin segment? Well, no and Drew McIntyre agrees as he took out Corbin and Madcap Moss to retrieve his sword which sounds like a bad King Arthur comedy flick or something.  Naomi Wants A Match With Sonya Deville.  Naomi is upset at how Sonya Deville acted like a Susan over the past few months so the glow queen challenged the actual manager to a match at Day 1 and Sonya was like, "Ahhhh, no".  Naomi then had a match with Shayna Baszler and within minute...

My Coherent Wrestling Wednesdays: Chris Jericho Offers Moxley To Join Inner Circle, The Go-Home Show Before Dec 18th.

I thought the middle act of AEW Dynamite suffered some pacing issues even though it was overall a much stronger show than last week's episode.  The latest episode of NXT, however, has built a solid foundation on what's to come on December 18th. The main question is, which show do I like better? The answer is AEW.  NXT  Highlights. Angel Garza vs Lio Rush For The NXT Cruiserweight Championship.  Was this match better than their first encounter? Like Snoop Dogg's verse in Sasha Banks' theme song, "Hell yea". Garza slams Rush hard on the ring apron by pushing the champ. Moments later, Garza delivers the Spanish Fly and Rush kicked out of that.  As Rush hits the frog splash, the champ wanted to pull him back in the middle of the ring but instead, he ripped off Garza's pants (nice attention to detail).  Angel then hits the wind clipper but Lio kicked out which led to a wind clipper submission and the man of the hour tapped out which m...

NXT Takeover Phoenix | My Coherent Review.

NXT Takeover was a great show with great wrestling, energetic crowd and intriguing storytelling (OMG, REALLY? I didn’t know that).  War Raiders vs The Undisputed Era (Kyle O’ Reilly and Roderick Strong) for the NXT Tag Team Championship.  First off, cool entrance by War Raiders. Secondly, the match was entertaining. At one point, Strong did a superplex to Hanson. The match ended with War Raiders delivered the Fallout to Kyle O ‘Reilly and won the match. War Raiders are the new NXT Tag Team Champions deservedly so.  Matt Riddle vs Kassius Ohno. During the match, Ohno hit Riddle right on his mouth which absolutely looked brutal. Minutes after that, Riddle hits Ohno with series of elbow strikes which made Ohno tap out and won the match. A very unique finish but nevertheless, this was a decent match.  Johnny Gargano vs Ricochet for the NXT North American Championship.  Those guys put on the absolute clinic of a wrestling match. But that ending ...
