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.

WWE Extreme Rules 2019 | My Coherent Review.

Man, I'm impressed with WWE in terms of PPVs as of late because overall, this was a fantastic show in my opinion with great matches but the crowd was dead for most of the show so that sucks.  I finally watched the pre-show match between Finn Balor and Shinsuke Nakamura before I went to bed because the show aired at 2 am where I live and it was okay.  By the way, how interesting is it when on last year’s Extreme Rules show, Shinsuke Nakamura won the United States championship and now this year’s show, he won the intercontinental title. Also, it's funny that the intercontinental championship was the main event on last's year show and on this year's Extreme Rules PPV, it's on the preshow.  Shane McMahon and Drew McIntyre vs Roman Reigns and The Undertaker.  Mike Rome did better in announcing "The Best In the world" this time than on RAW. Mike Rome's announcement a few weeks ago sounded like that one friend that thinks he/she knows how to ...

NXT Takeover: In Your House 2020 | A Coherent Review.

NXT Takeover: In Your House is like the rest of the Takeover shows, a fantastic 2 hours of professional wrestling.  What makes this show special is the additional nostalgia like how the show started with the NXT WWF inspired intro, the ice cream commercial narrated by William Regal doing his best Lord Alferd Hayes impression, icopro commercial and last but not least, Todd Pettengill.  This is a show that I'm definitely rewatching in years to come.  Mia Yim, Tegan Nox And Shotzi Blackheart vs Raquel Gonzalez, Candice LeRae And Dakota Kai.  A decent opening match. During the match, Nox did a Molly Holly top rope on to every competitor in the match.  Yim tried to give LeRae some Seoul Food but LeRae reversed that into a suplex. Several minutes later, Shotzi did a Salida Del Sol of some sort on Gonzalez to which Nox delivered the shiniest wizard on Kai and won the match.  Finn Balor vs Damian Priest. I actually thought that the closing mo...

The Coherent Wrestling Wednesdays: Holy Sh*t, The Revival Are All Elite, Matt Riddle vs Timothy Thatcher In A Unique Steel Cage Match.

Both shows had its weak points but overall, that was an enjoyable 4 hours of professional wrestling television. I personally liked AEW Dynamite this week.  From an awesome women's match with Shida and Christi Jaynes to The Revival showing up, AEW managed to give me a solid episode and successfully furthered their storylines to next week's exciting show.  NXT   Highlights (at least in my opinion because wrestling is subjective).  Kushida vs Drake Maverick vs Jake Atlas. Triple Threat Match Interim Cruiserweight Championship Tournament.  What a way to kick off this episode of NXT, am I right? Atlas delivered the rainbow DDT but Kushida broke Jake's pin.  Speaking of Kushida, he nailed the armbar submission, however, Drake pinned Atlas because Atlas' shoulders were on the mat and will meet El Hijo Del Fantasma for the finals next week.  I don't know if Drake is rehired or he's going to be rehired but Maverick has a big ta...
