WWE NXT 3/4/19 | My Coherent Review.

Gotta be honest, this NXT TV episode before NXT Takeover: New York was not great but also not terrible either. I couldn't find anything positive besides one match and couldn't find the negatives. However, it was a decent effort from the NXT creative team. 

The War Raiders vs Local Jobbers.

The show started off with a match which I appreciate NXT for changing how they open their shows like that. The War Raiders won the match with a pump up slam. After the match, The War Raiders was in a fighting mood so they call out any other team in NXT and here came Cezar Bononi and Adrian Jaoude. The War Raiders won that match with a double team leg drop to Bononi.

After that, Candice LeRae was interviewed outside of the full sail arena until Aliyah and Vanessa Bourne told Candice LeRae that she's not NXT Women's championship worthy. LeRae then wanted a match between herself and Aliyah. The more I see Aliyah, the more I think that she could potentially be a great adversary in the NXT women's division. 

Oney Lorcan vs Jaxson Ryker.

This was a decent match. Jaxson Ryker won the match with a sitout spinebuster to Oney Lorcan. 

From one outside interview to another. This time it was Keith Lee and he wanted a conclusion between himself and Dominic Djakovic. The match between Keith Lee and Dominic Djakovic is happening in two weeks on NXT TV and I'm very much looking forward to it.  

Bianca Belair vs Kairi Sane.

A very good main event in my humble opinion of course but with a decent ending. Shayna and the gang interfered in the match and just like that, the match ended in a DQ. Then, a big brawl happened which led to the entire NXT women's division trying their best to separate all of the women in the fatal four-way match. Out came Io Shirai and she delivered a picture perfect moonsault to the entire women's division. The show ended with Io Shirai holding the title high. 

So, to recap for all of you slow mofos: 

Like: The main event.

Didn't like: nothing really. 

Since this review is pretty short, I thought this was a good way to put my quick NXT Takeover: New York predictions so follow the blog if you wanna read my NXT Takeover: New York review. Without further ado, here we go. 

Pete Dunne vs Walter For The NXT UK Championship.

My Pick: New champion crowned aka Walter wins. 

Velveteen Dream Vs Matt Riddle for The NXT North American Championship. 

My Pick: Matt Riddle takes home the gold. 

War Raiders vs Aleister Black and Ricochet for the NXT Tag Team Championship. 

My Pick: Pretty much every Dusty Rhodes Tag Team Classic winner went on to win the tag team titles but not this time. War Raiders retains the titles. 

Shayna Baszler vs Kairi Sane vs Bianca Belair vs Io Shirai for the NXT Women's Championship. 

My Pick: Bianca Belair wins the championship. kicking off a feud between her and Io Shirai after Takeover. 

Adam Cole vs Johnny Gargano 2 Out of 3 Falls Match for The NXT Championship. 

My Pick: Adam Cole wins the championship BAY BAY.

Should Dave Meltzer Get Rid Of His Rating System?

So a few weeks ago, good old Dave Meltzer of the wrestling observer newsletter gave the Kazuchika Okada vs Kenny omega match at dominion 2018 a 7-star rating. According to the interent wrestling database , this match is by far his HIGHEST match rating ever (i don't blame him because the match was amazing). So statistically, this is his favourite match of all time . Now, why I'm writing this now?  Well, his best match ratings have been a consistent 5 stars since 1983 with the exception of all the Omega vs Okada matches and the Mitsuharu Misawa vs Toshiaki Kawada match at AJPW's Budokan hall show in June of 1994.  There are fans that take his match ratings as an offence somehow like "Why he rates X match better than Y match?" or thinks that he "hates" WWE which is ridiculous considering that he gave three WWE matches a 5 star ratings just this past year. One was the ladder match to crown the first ever NXT North American champion, the Johnny Garga...

WWE Smackdown Live 10/7/18 | My Coherent Review.

Smackdown live was a bad show that did nothing as a wrestling fan to gain any excitement for extreme rules. Why you ask? Well i'm gonna give you what's good. No scratch that, i'm gonna give you what's ok and what's bad. Here we go. WHAT'S OK The opening segment and the brawl after that The opening segment was meh. And the brawl after that was fine. Didn't make me go "OHHHHHHHHHHH" or anything like along those lines. That brawl leads to a TEN MAN TAG TEAM match (Ummmmmm no shit omar). I will say this, the segment kinda teased the fact that maybe kane will turn on his best friend? I don't know. Should be interesting.  Andrade "cien" almas vs Sin cara The match was surprisingly decent. At one point andrade delivered a devastating stomp to sin cara on the ring apron. Andrade wins with a running knee to sin cara on the middle rope. Hoping andrade can move on to bigger and better things.  WHAT'S BAD ...

WWE Smackdown Live 19/2/19 | My Coherent Review.

This show was overall, a skippable show just like RAW yesterday and here's why.  Opening segment.  The show kicked off with Shane McMahon with his usual cheap pop. After that, Shane McMahon announced that Aleister Black, Johnny Gargano, Ricochet and Tommaso Ciampa will be on SmackDown Live just like RAW last night (click here to read my RAW review).  Out came The Miz and he said that he hasn't stop thinking about their match at Elimination Chamber. Miz also said he admitted that he used Shane because Miz wanted to make Shane McMahon understand where's Miz's coming from.  Miz then wanted a rematch between him, Shane McMahon and the Usos for the SmackDown Live tag team championship to which the Usos came out and insulted The Miz.  That led to Shane McMahon saying that the rematch is on but at Fastlane in two weeks. So we got the first official match scheduled for Fastlane and considering that Shane is a McMahon and has all the Authority, I do...
