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.

Top 7 Best NXT Takeover Theme Songs.

Everbody likes to put on some good music. You like good music. Your friends and family like good music. However, what makes a song good is completely subjective but in my opinion, NXT are nailing it with their takeover theme songs and I'm ranking them on a glorified subjective form of content and that is list videos/articles or in my case a top seven list. Without further ado, Here are my top seven best NXT takeover theme songs.  7. Serpents by Neck Deep   The reason why I like this song so much is that   it gives me some early 2000s punk rock which by listening to this song, it feels like they're paying a homage to that era. overall a good listen that depending on how old you are will give a nostalgic feel like I did.  6. Ace Of Spades by  Motörhead Now, l like me some Motörhead. Triple H's current theme and the evolution theme song is some of my favourite theme music of all time and this is no exception. The only critique I have for this song ...

The 5 News Week Look-Back: Batista's Match With Triple H At Wrestlemania 35 Supposed To Be A Hell In A Cell!?, A Look Back At Eric Bischoff's Role As Executive Director.

Hello, my fellow wrestling fans and welcome to the 5 News Week where I usually report on the 5 major or minor news of the week but I'm not doing that here if you can't tell from the graphic I made (you're welcome, by the way).  But Rather, all throughout December, I'm going to look back at some of the news that came out in 2019. The start of a new decade is going to be upon us in the coming days and that can be exciting especially for the future of the wrestling business as a whole. I hope you guys celebrate the new year's day and of course, drink responsibly.  Fans Frustration Over The Booking Of The Main Roster Women's Division.  I wrote an article earlier this year about why women's wrestling in world wrestling entertainment of the year 2018 was great (which you can click here to read the whole thing).  However, it seems like the year after (2019) was the exact opposite. Now, they did rebound the quality of storytelling in the women's div...

Wrestling With Whiteness | A Documentary Sorely Needed.

Here's the thing. My 2 viewers will know that I've been a wrestling fan for 15 plus years but what they do not know is that I've been a Somali (aka a Black Muslim person) my entire life so talking about this documentary is going to be a little more personal, to say the least.  And look, I know this is the part where I insert my usual wit and fart jokes but you're not gonna see less of that because this is a serious topic (and you know it's serious when I mentioned my ethnicity) about representation and the shared struggle across every single black performer featured in this documentary.  From the press release, Wrestling With Whiteness "focuses on sharing the stories of Black folx and their experience in the wrestling community. Using a combination of interviews with Black wrestlers and Black content creators, Wrestling With Whiteness uncovers the unique experiences of Black people in the industry and the rise of representation for performers and fans around th...
