WWE NXT 29/5/19 | My Coherent Review.

This episode was aight but it's usually like that when a Takeover is less than a few days away.

Mia Yim vs Bianca Belair.

A rematch from 3 weeks ago which was a decent match. Was that better? Not really. At one point during the match, Mia Yim delivered a code Yim which is a snap sunset flip. The match ends with Mia hit a protect ya neck to Belair and she got a huge victory over the EST of NXT.

I don't know where Bianca Belair goes from here but I hope NXT build Belair with some momentum.

After a pretty good video package about the match between Tyler Breeze and Velveteen Dream (get it? pretty? Prince Pretty?), Shayna and the gang were interviewed and Baszler basically said that unlike Io Shirai, she's got friends.

Kushida vs Drew Gulak.

A very technical wrestling match. So many types of submissions being applied by both men but the match ended with a pinfall victory from Kushida with a roll-up with his legs.

I'm a big mark when it comes to technical matches and this was no exception. A very good match in my opinion.

Io Shirai was interviewed by Cathy Kelly about the numbers advantage of Shayna’s NXT championship match and Candice LeRae came out to tell Io that she has Io's back at NXT Takeover: XXV.

Oney Lorcan and Danny Burch vs The Forgotten Sons.

After the ref banned Jaxson Ryker from ringside, The Street Profits interfered ending the match in a DQ. Then, all the teams that are part of the ladder match brawled with each other but The Undisputed Era came back strong with ladder shots to Jaxson Ryker and Adam Cole ended this episode of NXT by saying that Takeover 25 will be Undisputed.

Predictable ending but it's to be expected when you're building up those kinds of matches.

So, to recap for all of you slow mofos:

Like: Kushida vs Drew Gulak.

Didn't Like: Nothing.

Just like what I did when I reviewed the NXT before Takeover: New York, I'm gonna put my quick predictions and here we go:

Matt Riddle vs Roderick Strong.

My Prediction: Matt takes the ice cream cake on this one.

Velveteen Dream vs Tyler Breeze for the NXT North American Championship.

My prediction: Tyler is used here as a filler but it should be a great match. The Velveteen Dream retains.

Shayna Baszler vs Io Shirai for the NXT Women's championship.

My prediction: This is a tough one but I'll go with the genius of the sky.

Oney Lorcan and Danny Burch vs The Undisputed Era vs The Street Profits vs The Forgotten Sons for the NXT Tag Team Championship in a ladder match.

My prediction: A match that could steal the show by just barely 99.9999999999%. I'll go with The Undisputed Era bay bay.

Johnny Gargano vs Adam Cole for the NXT Championship.

My prediction: Johnny is still Johnny Champion after Takeover: XXV.

WWE Wrestlemania 26 | A Coherent Review.

I've teased a mystery review on my Facebook page (which you can click here to follow us) and that mystery has now been unveiled. It's Wrestlemania 26. This review was delayed and was supposed to be up last Monday but at least is now up. Also, The first draft of this review was 7 pages long so strap in. By far, the longest review on this very website. I thought it would be fitting to review a Wrestlemania from a decade back and how do I feel about it? It was a show that if you watched it, you're most likely going to have a good time. It was a mix of great things but terrible things at the same time as most shows. The 26th edition of Wrestlemania took place in the University of Phoenix Stadium in the Phoenix suburb of Glendale, Arizona on March 28th, 2010. The commentators were Micheal Cole, Jerry Lawler and Matt Striker. Honestly, Striker was pretty good and a far better colour commentator than Lawler was on this show (even today, Lawler is still bleh on commen...

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 ...

The 5 News Week: Quick Predictions On Wrestlemania: Backlash.

Hello, my fellow wrestling fans and welcome to the 5 news week. The post where I report 5 major or minor pro wrestling news, rumours and spoilers of the week that I don't have time to do it separately. Without further ado, here are the 5 news week. A Brief Thoughts On AEW Dynamite. For the first time on this very series, I am going to briefly discuss my thoughts on AEW Dynamite and it was decent for the most part. I do have some perspectives on a few key things. Most notably, that Cody Rhodes promo which by the way, was without exaggeration, one of the worst PROMOS I've ever witnessed as a 14 year veteran in the wrestling fandom. The overall dialogue was an example of American imperialism and without a little or too much propaganda (while having the basic understanding of American imperialism), it exposed the very dated nature of the "America vs foreign heel" storyline. Let's move on to the positives. Miro's booking in recent months has been exc...
