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

Image result for wwe nxt mia yim
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.

The 5 News Week: WWE Ditching Full Script Promos? NXT Superstars Still Expected To Move To The Main Roster?

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.  NXT Superstars Still Expected To Move To The Main Roster? Although the yellow brand is much better in terms of how they approach storylines subjectively speaking, of course, it is still a developmental brand after all even though it doesn't feel like so.  I'm sure you guys have heard of reports (more specifically from post wrestling ) that a draft is coming next month and the NXT Superstars will still be called on either RAW or Smackdown hence not being treated as a third equal brand.  That is all coming from Dave Meltzer and The Wrestling Observer Newsletter. I really enjoyed when the main roster guys like Tyson Kidd in 2014, Brezzago, Apollo Crews for a bit move to NXT and those moves makes that brand more legit but I and you guys should keep i...

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...

WWE NXT Takeover: Toronto | My Coherent Review.

Another month or so, another great NXT Takeover event courtesy of the NXT creative team filled with top-notch in-ring action and storytelling. I know it feels tiresome when you heard people praise highly talk about the Takeover shows but trust me they are that good.  The Street Profits vs The Undisputed Era for the NXT Tag Team Championship. During the match, Montez Ford delivered the people's elbow after hitting a spinebuster on Bobby Fish. The match ended with a frog splash from Montez Ford and The Street Profits continues to celebrate as tag team champions.  I'm very conflicted with this decision mainly because I don't want to see more okay matches between The Forgotten Sons and Danny Burch and Oney Lorcan but I'm going to be optimistic hoping that it's not the case.  Io Shirai vs Candice Lerae.  Io's theme song is simple yet badass at the same time (no shit, Omar). The match started off with Candice rushing to the ring and brawled on the outs...
