WWE NXT 22/5/19 | My Coherent Review.

This was a great episode of NXT and it did a great job on enhancing an already hyped show into must see. 

The show started off with William Regal announcing that at NXT Takeover: XXV, new NXT tag team champions will be crowned. The Street Profits vs The Forgotten Sons vs The Undisputed Era in Kyle O'Reilly and Bobby Fish, Oney Lorcan and Danny Burch for the NXT Tag Team Championship in a ladder match. Sweet dreams on an ice cream sandwich, I'm looking forward to this match. Match of the year contender right there (I'm obviously joking but it is possible though). 

The Undisputed Era Are On Full Swing Once Again.

The Undisputed Era came out and Adam Cole said that the rumours are not true and The Undisputed Era are stronger as a unit than ever before. Cole also said that The Undisputed Era will have gold on their waists after takeover and then Out came Johnny Gargano. Gargano said that Adam Cole can't beat him one on one without his buddies to which Cole replied by saying that he pinned Johnny Gargano once.

Johnny playing the sarcasm card, said that Adam might call him an idiot but in actuality, Cole is the idiot considering that Johnny has pinned him twice at Takeover: New York and he obviously didn't shook the school system  (that was a funny line, Bravo NXT). 

While Adam was talking, Matt Riddle from behind, came out and started punching those guys to which the NXT champion assisted him. Yes, it ended on a generic note but overall, this segment was pretty short and sweet. 



Sean Maluta vs Mansoor.

During the match, Maluta delivered a beautiful looking code breaker from the top rope. The match ended with Mansoor hitting a reverse DDT position into a spinning cutter. This was alright. 

After the match, Cathy Kelly was getting an update from The NXT general manager’s office and William Regal said that Matt Riddle will face Roderick Strong at Takeover: XXV and Johnny Gargano will team up with Matt Riddle against Kyle O'Reilly and Bobby Fish. 

Experience The Velveteen Dream With A Returning Supermodel?

The Velveteen Dream came out and said that the people are waiting for the Velveteen Dream until the returning Tyler Breeze showed up and with crowd chants of “welcome home”, Breeze said that ever since he left NXT, the show has become lifeless with cheap knockoffs and wannabe impersonators. 

Dream replied by saying that the spotlight belongs to a man and not a boy that plays cops and robbers (OHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!). Tyler Breeze said that the North American Championship inspires him to which Dream said that the line for the North American Championship starts outside but Dream doesn't want to give Breeze a bad taste of Tyler’s mouth and asked him for a selfie.

Tyler accepted and hits the Dream with his phone. I cannot come up with an adjective of how good this segment was guys. This was great back in forth promo verbal action. Oh, and the match between Prince Pretty and The Velveteen Dream for the North American Championship is official for NXT Takeover: XXV. 

Candice LeRae vs Rena Gonzalez.

This was okay. Candice LeRae won the match with a springboard moonsault. I hope they build up Gonzalez a bit more because she has a great look. After the match, Shayna and the gang came out and put a mugging on LeRae until Io Shirai showed up with a kendo stick and beats up Baszler and her gang. 

Two matches announced for next week's show. One, it is a rematch between Bianca Belair and Mia Yim. Two, it is a one on one match between Kushida and Drew Gulak. 

Johnny Gargano and Matt Riddle vs Kyle O'Reilly and Bobby Fish.

This was a very good tag team match. So many near falls in this, for example, a slam position from Gargano into a kick from Riddle to O'Reilly, a suplex position from O'Reilly into a kick from Fish. 

The match ended with Strong hitting Riddle and threw him to the ring so that the duo in The Undisputed Era hits him with the high and lower double team finish. After the match, The Undisputed Era were beating up Riddle and Gargano in a 2 on 4 beatdown and puts the NXT champion down with the last shot from Adam Cole. 

So, to recap for all of you slow mofos: 

Like: The main event, the segment that featured The Velveteen Dream and Tyler Breeze, opening segment. 

Didn't like: It's NXT, what do you think?

WWE Survivor Series 2018 | My Coherent Review.

Hello, my fellow wrestling fans reading this and welcome to my coherent review for Survivor Series 2018. Overall, it was a very entertaining show throughout with some minor issues and here's why.  (KICK OFF SHOW) Tag team Survivor Series match  This match was a great example of a skippable match until the last moments.  Xavier Woods did the springboard elbow drop and both members of The Revival countered that into a shatter machine which look amazing.  Minutes later, Scott Dawson hit a superplex to Jimmy Uso and an immediate frog splash from Dash Wilder to a near fall.  After that, Both Usos hit a superkick to Dash followed by a Uso splash and just like that, the Smackdown team took the W which WWE wants to forget about that (so stupid). A decent match but with a boring start in my opinion.  (MAIN SHOW) Women’s Survivor Series match  Before the match started when Nia Jax’s music hit, she got volcanic heat from the Los Ang...

Netflix's The Main Event | A Coherent Review.

Last spring, WWE had announced that they've partnered with Netflix to create content via their movie division on the streaming service. In other words, Netflix decided to feature even more badly marketed and awfully made movies. Luckily, WWE's latest joint isn't that bad at all. Don't get me wrong, it's no " Marriage Story " but, it does pull off a capable effort of telling a story about being yourself (warning, this   review contains a few minor spoilers).  The premise of this movie goes like this. An 11-year-old wrestling fan named Leo (played by Seth Carr) finds a luchador mask that gives him superhuman strength and agility. He then applied his new-found powers to in-ring action where he competes in a $50,000 WWE NXT tournament.  If it sounds familiar, that is because it's pretty much the premise of the film " Like Mike " with obvious differences like this movie is wrestling themed instead of basketball, it stars an 11-yea...

Hello, my fellow wrestling fans and welcome to the 5 news week. The post where I report 5 .major or minor news of the week that I don't have time to do it separately. Without further ado, here are the 5 news week. Tony Khan Wrote All Recent Episodes Of Dynamite All By Himself?  I've talked about Tony's other position as a writer for AEW on the February 16th edition of this very series and it's always interesting to read the stories involving the creative process of AEW television.  AEW's Dynamite show had recently aired its last set of filming and for the most part, they were fantastic and it's all thanks to one man, Vince Russo * stutters * I mean, Tony Khan.  From PWInsider and Mikey Johnson , The owner of AEW wrote all of the Dynamite scripts that were eventually taped in Georgia after he realized that the show was going to have a small crew because of the shut down across the country of US of A. The American nightmare himself, Cody has als...
