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?

My Coherent Wrestling Wednesdays: Chris Jericho Offers Moxley To Join Inner Circle, The Go-Home Show Before Dec 18th.

I thought the middle act of AEW Dynamite suffered some pacing issues even though it was overall a much stronger show than last week's episode.  The latest episode of NXT, however, has built a solid foundation on what's to come on December 18th. The main question is, which show do I like better? The answer is AEW.  NXT  Highlights. Angel Garza vs Lio Rush For The NXT Cruiserweight Championship.  Was this match better than their first encounter? Like Snoop Dogg's verse in Sasha Banks' theme song, "Hell yea". Garza slams Rush hard on the ring apron by pushing the champ. Moments later, Garza delivers the Spanish Fly and Rush kicked out of that.  As Rush hits the frog splash, the champ wanted to pull him back in the middle of the ring but instead, he ripped off Garza's pants (nice attention to detail).  Angel then hits the wind clipper but Lio kicked out which led to a wind clipper submission and the man of the hour tapped out which m...

NXT Takeover Phoenix | My Coherent Review.

NXT Takeover was a great show with great wrestling, energetic crowd and intriguing storytelling (OMG, REALLY? I didn’t know that).  War Raiders vs The Undisputed Era (Kyle O’ Reilly and Roderick Strong) for the NXT Tag Team Championship.  First off, cool entrance by War Raiders. Secondly, the match was entertaining. At one point, Strong did a superplex to Hanson. The match ended with War Raiders delivered the Fallout to Kyle O ‘Reilly and won the match. War Raiders are the new NXT Tag Team Champions deservedly so.  Matt Riddle vs Kassius Ohno. During the match, Ohno hit Riddle right on his mouth which absolutely looked brutal. Minutes after that, Riddle hits Ohno with series of elbow strikes which made Ohno tap out and won the match. A very unique finish but nevertheless, this was a decent match.  Johnny Gargano vs Ricochet for the NXT North American Championship.  Those guys put on the absolute clinic of a wrestling match. But that ending ...

WWE RAW 8/7/19 | My Coherent Review.

Overall, I really thought that this episode of Monday Night RAW was decent, however, this is not a Vince McMahon approved RAW without a few if not some logic holes.  Seth Rollins And Becky Lynch vs Andrade and Zelina Vega.  Damn, the second week in a row where Monday Night RAW started off with a match. Gotta say I'm impressed. This is an elimination mixed tag team match which I'll give some kudos to WWE for making this tag match feel different but we shall see how different it is from. Becky Lynch eliminated Zelina Vega which means that Becky is pretty much going to watch this match unfold if that makes any sense?  Andrade did the three amigos to Seth and Seth countered the third suplex with the falcon arrow. That was nice. Seth Rollins and Becky Lynch won the match with the stomp to Andrade.  Surprisingly, this was a decent opening match. After the match, Baron Corbin sought attacked Seth Rollins while Lacey Evans hits Becky Lynch with the woman...
