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?

The 5 News Week: An Interview With ROH's Eli Isom, Fans Singing Petitions For Charlotte Flair Not Winning Titles Anymore!?

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. An Interview With ROH's Eli Isom.  Yes. After several and several and several of The 5 News Week articles that I've been putting out since late 2018, I finally got an interview for you guys.  The person in question is Ring Of Honour's Eli Isom. Since graduating from the ROH Dojo, Isom has worked and learned from the absolute best in the industry:  "I’m lucky that I got a chance to train from scratch with ROH, without that kind of training who knows where I’d be right now." So, without further ado, here is the conversation I had with Eli.  Omar: My first question is, how would you describe the persona of "Eli Isom" to resident WWE shills like myself? Eli Isom: For me, my wrestling persona isn’t too far off from who I real...

The 5 News Week: Master P Buying House Of Glory!?, NXT TV To Air In Different Arenas!?

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 . Sorry for not posting in two days. Just some personal stuff I gotta deal with and my Coherent Wednesdays review was a bit rushed and I want to nail it in a no pun intended, coherent matter if that makes any sense? Hopefully, my reviews will get better in the coming weeks.  Master P Buying House Of Glory!?  A great example of human beings having an unpredictable nature to them (ask Vince McMahon), Master P was interviewed somewhere in Manhattan and he announced that he has brought an independent wrestling promotion based in New York called House Of Glory or HOG which was founded by Brian XL and Impact Alumni Amazing Red in 2014.  PWInsider and Mike Johnson gave an update to this story stating that Master P will deliver the "muscle and production team" goi...

WWE NXT 17/7/19 | My Coherent Review.

I didn't feel anything about this show overall besides one very good match and an impactful debut. Here's why.  Matt Riddle vs Arturo Ruas.  Those two guys have a background in MMA so it was really interesting as to how the match turned out. Started out with some technical wrestling which if you've been a follower of this blog then you'll know how much I LOVE technical submission wrestling.   The match ended with Matt Riddle delivering a series of rights and the ref stopped it which means that Matt won the match. After that, a masked man revealed as Killan Dan was beating the crap out of him and it was so bad that Mauro Ranallo screamed "Mamma Mia" on top of his lungs which is pretty rare. I actually really liked this. It's a different way to debut somebody and insert that person quickly in a feud instead of having that superstar wrestle in so many squash matches which I don't mind if they went in that route.  The Street Profits ...
