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...

WrestleFest DXB's Fahrenheit 971 | A Coherent W.

Being a fan of pro wrestling (or any other medium of entertainment) does have its pros and cons when engaging with the industry as a whole. On one hand, you've witnessed an Eddie Kingston promo that'll make you tear up more than the opening scene of Up. On the other hand, going to the wrestling subreddit will definitely have you questioning humanity as a whole and the fact that living in an area where a wrestling presence pretty much doesn't exist like a Vince Russo-written storyline that is, you know, GOOD!? Luckily, the latter retracted my con as a fan because I'm talking about Wrestlefest DXB and their latest joint, "971 Fahrenheit". Martin Bushby of now Post Wrestling Alumni brought the event to my attention because like a wrestler on an episode of RAW I get distracted all the time. So, I decided to take a short journey to a taxi then a bus then a train then a 30-minute walk to the show itself and I know I'm going to sound biased as f**k but I l...

Let's Talk About The State Of Wrestlemania 37.

I usually save those kinds of pieces for my weekly news series, The 5 News Week due to how modern this subject is and how my essays usually dwell on the past. Usually, it is too early to talk about an upcoming Wrestlemania in October but not this time especially since we're still in a pandemic. This is a topic I've been thinking about all month and I had to write my thoughts on it. Let's answer this question right away whether Wrestlemania 37 will happen in SoFii stadium next year? from CBS Los Angeles The answer is an obvious no. But, I want to try to dig deeper and see exactly where we stand today. As of me writing this, Wrestlemania: Hollywood edition is still scheduled to take place in SoFi stadium despite an outlet that shall not be named, claiming otherwise. This is either sheer blind optimism or downright idiotic from Dubya, Dubya E. WrestleVotes did mention back in July that while the event is still going to take place in the stadium,...
