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.

My Coherent Wrestling Wednesdays: A Broserweight Road Trip To Portland, Britt Baker Addresses Her Attack On Yuka Sakazaki Last Week.

While this was a typical night for AEW, NXT, however, had a go-home show to deliver just days before the next anticipated Takeover show in Portland, Oregon.  But, NXT's final show before the second Takeover of 2020 didn't bring it, unfortunately, in terms of quality as the 20th episode of AEW Dynamite was the better show this week even though AEW Dynamite is a hit or miss program.  NXT    Highlights.  Roderick Strong vs Bronson Reed. Before the match, a pissed off Roderick Strong demanded an apology from the Velveteen Dream given that Dream put his wife and child's face on his trucks.  By the way, Bronson Reed's theme song is killer and so is this match. A slow, technical, old-school type of match that wouldn't fit the big man on paper but the execution was a different story.  The lights turned purple and Reed hits the suicide dive but he missed a Samoan splash that led to a knee strike from Strong and wins the match.  Then,...

Top 3 BEST Distraction Finishes EVER!

Distraction endings to a wrestling match in WWE depend on one another if you think about it. It's like the peanut butter and jelly or the chicken and the basmati biryani rice or Dan Lambert and sexism.  "Why top 3", you may ask? Because one, I'm different and two, well, I'm different, so be gone to the mofos that think it's shorter than Brock Lesnar's bout with Kofi Kingston.  (WARNING: This piece is mostly sarcasm).  Daniel Bryan vs Sheamus. Wrestlemania 28.  I know this made your eyebrows raise as high as Rocky Maivia but think about this. The kiss from AJ Lee that led to a brogue kick from Sheamus, has in some way, led to the general audience seeing how Daniel Bryan should be WAY higher in the overall arc than where he was at that time.  Also, this was also the year where Bryan showed off his comedic chops with his "NO" catchphrase and his tag team run with the big red conservative, Kane.  If anything, this distraction finish was a great chara...

Roman Reigns Relinquishes The Universal Title Because He Has Leukemia.

I have a sad and unfortunate news to break. Two hours ago on RAW, Roman cut a great promo pretty much stating that he's been living with leukemia for over 11 years and the disease's return forced him to give up the universal championship. The segment ended with both shield members Dean Ambrose and Seth Rollins gave a group hug to Roman and did the triple shield fist pump. Ever since that, fellow WWE superstars reacted to the news on Twitter and here are the tweets so far. An amazing human being, an incredible performer & a man I’m proud to be friends with. My thoughts & prayers are with you & your family. Get well soon, champ! #ThankYouRoman https://t.co/jL1Q5dVvzs — #WOKEN, yet #BROKEN, Matt Hardy (@MATTHARDYBRAND) October 23, 2018 My heart right now ....
