WWE NXT 15/5/19 | My Coherent Review.

A lot of things happened on this show but that doesn't mean it was a great show or anything like that. It was fine for what it was. 

The Viking Raiders Addresses The NXT Tag Team Championship.

Before this, they introduced Beth Phoenix as their new replacement for Percy Watson in the commentary which I'm okay with this decision. After this, The Viking Raiders said that they brutalized the RAW tag team division. 

They then called out the NXT general manager in William Regal and the Viking Raiders told him that they wanna relinquish the titles. Out came The Street Profits and the duo in Dawkins and Ford said that they brought the fight in the Viking Raiders. Ford also said that deep down, The Street Profits can beat The Viking Raiders to which Dawkins said: “if that's your real name”. Good one. 

The Viking Raiders took the belts from William Regal and told him to make the match which that's exactly what the NXT general manager did. This segment was fine. It did its job to progress this rivalry. 

After that, Cathy Kelly asked Adam Cole who was the leader of The Undisputed Era considering what happened last week. Adam Cole said that the leader is still himself and then out came Roderick Strong. He told Adam that he took care of the problem basically insinuating that Roderick beat up Matt Riddle which led to Cole giving him the Undisputed Era arm band. 

Keith Lee vs Cesaro Bononi.

This was an okay match. Keith Lee won the match with the spirit bomb. 

After Cathy Kelly announced that Shayna Baszler will defend her NXT Women's Championship against Io Shirai at The next Takeover show now known as “NXT Takeover: XXV”, Kelly saw the Forgotten Sons going to William Regal’s office and she asked them why are they going to his office? 

They basically replied by telling her that William Regal forgot the Forgotten Sons and they in The Street Profits will witness first hand why they don't forget them. 

Kushida vs Kona Reeves.

During the match, Drew Gulak came out with no music and watches the match on the stage area. The match ended with the Kimura lock to Reeves and won the match. Interesting that Gulak was watching the match like that. 

After this, Bianca Belair dragged Cathy Kelly to William Regal until Mia Yim stopped her. Bianca Belair told her that she's getting a title opportunity to which Mia Yim said that she went to William’s office for a rematch against the “undefeated” one. Their match last week was decent so I don't mind a rematch. 

Speaking of a rematch, Johnny Gargano announced after he was asked about Matt Riddle’s attack from Roderick Strong that he will put his title on the line against Adam Cole at Takeover: XXV. 

Vanessa Bourne vs Jessie.

Meh match. Vanessa Bourne won the match with a spinning neckbreaker. 

Viking Raiders vs The Street Profits for the NXT Tag Team Championship.

Yo. This match was quick but it was pretty good. Lots of near falls despite being a pretty short match. The match ended in a DQ because of The Forgotten Sons and the Oney Lorcan and Danny Burch came out to beat up The Forgotten Sons and it turned into chaos. I read the spoilers and I know what happens with the status of the NXT tag team championship but I'm not gonna spoil it because I'm not an A-Hole. 

So, to recap for all of you slow mofos: 

Like: The NXT Tag Team Championship and the ending of that match. 

Didn't like: Nothing really.

WWE RAW 9/5/22 | A Coherent Review.

 Yes, I didn't review Wrestlemania Backlash because one, I knocked out after a long day and two, why not? I did watch the show and it's like an episode of a Telltale game in that it's short and sweet.  How was the red brand this week?  Even though Wrestlemania Backlash is over, it still feels like I'm watching a build toward that show. It's like eating yesterday's leftovers with some fresh salad on the side, ya know. I'm hoping Hell In A Cell concludes everything.  The Street Profits vs RKBRO For The RAW Tag Team Championship.  Hey, look. A good tag team match, playas! Yes, they've fought each other more times than Call Of Duty sequels but like I said, I enjoyed it. RKBRO retained the championship with an RKO from Riddle to Montez Ford.  Rhea Ripley Is Now An Evil Goth Girl.  She said, "f**k them, kids". Also, why's Edge rocking the "I believe in white genocide" look? Ripley had a match with Liv Morgan and of course, she won the w...

AEW Dynamite Blood And Guts | A Coherent Review.

Another watchable episode of AEW Dynamite but this time, it features the first-ever Blood And Guts encounter. Kenny Omega And Michael Nakazawa vs Jon Moxley And Eddie Kingston.  Don Callis announced that Michael Nakazawa is going to face Mox and Kingston all by himself only for Kenny Omega to show up and compete in the match anyway.  A weird booking choice but I'm just nitpicking.  What wasn't weird was how the match ended with a double team dragon suplex into a clothesline from the duo of Mox and Kingston to Nakazawa.  Then, a beatdown ensued from Omega's Posse to Jonny Mox and Eddie Kingston. The Young Bucks vs Jon Moxley and Eddie Kingston? I'm down.  It was revealed later in the night that a number one contenders match for the AEW championship is set up for next week's show between Orange Cassidy and Pac. I'm assuming AEW is saving the Hangman Page and Kenny Omega encounter for All Out?  Either way, AEW has the potential to tell an interesting story of ...

WWE Smackdown Season Premiere | A Coherent Review.

  It is the season premiere of Friday night Smackdown even though WWE doesn't have an offseason.  Nevertheless, it was a decent program and had a WAY better ending than whatever the hell of an ending last year's premiere of Friday night Smackdown showed.  There isn't a women's match this week and all of the AEW fanboys are looking at this like, "sEe, WWE dOeSn't feATuRe wOmeN'S mAtChEs aLsO."  pictures via WWE.com The Season Premiere Of Smackdown 2020.  The show started off with Triple H and Stephanie McMahon highlighting the scheduled matches for Smackdown as well as the superstars.  Chaos then ensued thanks to a huge brawl. Then, the "super freak" Lars Sullivan came out and delivered the freak accident to Shorty G.  Somehow, Jeff Hardy attacked him and that led to the opening match of the night between Lars and Jeff.  You know, I'm kind of surprised that two white people in McMahon and Hemsley knew who Rick James is.  Maybe I'm igno...
