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.

WrestleFest DXB's Fahrenheit 971 | A Coherent W.

  Being a fan of pro wrestling (or any other medium of entertainment) does have its pros and cons when engaging with the industry as a whole.  On one hand, you've witnessed an Eddie Kingston promo that'll make you tear up more than the opening scene of Up.  On the other hand, going to the wrestling subreddit will definitely have you questioning humanity as a whole and the fact that living in an area where a wrestling presence pretty much doesn't exist like a Vince Russo-written storyline that is, you know, GOOD!?  Luckily, the latter retracted my con as a fan because I'm talking about Wrestlefest DXB and their latest joint, "971 Fahrenheit".  Martin Bushby of now Post Wrestling Alumni brought the event to my attention because like a wrestler on an episode of RAW I get distracted all the time.  So, I decided to take a short journey to a taxi then a bus then a train then a 30-minute walk to the show itself and I know I'm going to sound biased as f**k but I l...

Let's Talk About The White Rabbit In The Room.

I haven't reviewed last year's show mainly because it was so good and clearly as extreme as any ECW match and I'm happy to tell all 3 of y'all that this one is better by several inches or so. Why? *slaps my bald head* HERE'S WHY. The opening match between Sheamus and Gunther's crew ruled harder than the Mongolian empire.  It was basically an enhanced version of Sheamus' match with Gunther last night on Smackdown and I loved it.  The Brawling Brutes' victory means one thing that is clearly obvious, a rematch between Sheamus and Gunther for the intercontinental championship aka the only series of rematches I don't mind.  Ronda Rousey and Liv Morgan delivered in what was a wrestling match equivalent to the X-Men Dark Phoenix movie.  While Bianca Belair and Bayley had their equivalent to the first Iron Man movie in that it was decent.  Drew McIntyre and Karrion Kross had an okay edition of the "Meaty men slapping meat".  That spear from Edge to...

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...
