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.

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...
