WWE NXT 1/5/19 | My Coherent Review.

This was a good show, my guys. Not as great as the episode that featured the Dusty Rhodes Tag Team Classic tournament but it was a good effort nevertheless. 

Oney Lorcan, Danny Burch and Humberto Carrillo vs The Forgotten Sons.

Decent match. During the match, Humberto Carrillo did a suicide dive to Oney Lorcan accidentally which led to Danny Burch fighting three members of The Forgotten Sons all by himself. The match ended with The Forgotten Sons delivering the double reverse DDT into a stomp to Carrillo and Lorcan. 

After the match, Cathy Kelly interviewed Shayna along with her gang and Kelly asked is it because Io Shirai had a pinfall victory over the queen of spades was the motivation of Shayna’s attack last week? Shayna then pushed Kelly's mic down and kept on walking. 

Speaking of a feud in the women's division, Bianca Belair and Mia Yim were arguing in the performance centre which led to a match made between those two women's on next week’s episode of NXT TV. Should be a good match. 

Dominic Djakovic vs Mansoor.

This is a good match and a great showcase for Mansoor but unfortunately, he lost the match because Dominic Djakovic won the match with a reverse fireman's carry into a knee strike. 

After the match, Velveteen Dream came out and he was singing in the tune of the American National anthem basically shitting on Djakovic. That ending was perfect man. This was great.  

Kushida vs Kassius Ohno.

Kushida is still rocking the Marty Mcfly/Back To The Future gimmick and I like it. You know what I also like? This match. That sitout facebuster from Kassius looked fantastic. Kushida won the match with I'm assuming a modified Kamura lock? 

So, to recap for all of you slow mofos: 

Like: Dominic Djakovic vs Mansoor and the ending of that match, Kushida vs Kassius Ohno. 

Didn't like: Nothing.

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 ....
