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 Extreme Rules 2019 | My Coherent Review.

Man, I'm impressed with WWE in terms of PPVs as of late because overall, this was a fantastic show in my opinion with great matches but the crowd was dead for most of the show so that sucks. I finally watched the pre-show match between Finn Balor and Shinsuke Nakamura before I went to bed because the show aired at 2 am where I live and it was okay. By the way, how interesting is it when on last year’s Extreme Rules show, Shinsuke Nakamura won the United States championship and now this year’s show, he won the intercontinental title. Also, it's funny that the intercontinental championship was the main event on last's year show and on this year's Extreme Rules PPV, it's on the preshow. Shane McMahon and Drew McIntyre vs Roman Reigns and The Undertaker. Mike Rome did better in announcing "The Best In the world" this time than on RAW. Mike Rome's announcement a few weeks ago sounded like that one friend that thinks he/she knows how to ...

NXT Takeover: In Your House 2020 | A Coherent Review.

NXT Takeover: In Your House is like the rest of the Takeover shows, a fantastic 2 hours of professional wrestling. What makes this show special is the additional nostalgia like how the show started with the NXT WWF inspired intro, the ice cream commercial narrated by William Regal doing his best Lord Alferd Hayes impression, icopro commercial and last but not least, Todd Pettengill. This is a show that I'm definitely rewatching in years to come. Mia Yim, Tegan Nox And Shotzi Blackheart vs Raquel Gonzalez, Candice LeRae And Dakota Kai. A decent opening match. During the match, Nox did a Molly Holly top rope on to every competitor in the match. Yim tried to give LeRae some Seoul Food but LeRae reversed that into a suplex. Several minutes later, Shotzi did a Salida Del Sol of some sort on Gonzalez to which Nox delivered the shiniest wizard on Kai and won the match. Finn Balor vs Damian Priest. I actually thought that the closing mo...

The Coherent Wrestling Wednesdays: Holy Sh*t, The Revival Are All Elite, Matt Riddle vs Timothy Thatcher In A Unique Steel Cage Match.

Both shows had its weak points but overall, that was an enjoyable 4 hours of professional wrestling television. I personally liked AEW Dynamite this week. From an awesome women's match with Shida and Christi Jaynes to The Revival showing up, AEW managed to give me a solid episode and successfully furthered their storylines to next week's exciting show. NXT Highlights (at least in my opinion because wrestling is subjective). Kushida vs Drake Maverick vs Jake Atlas. Triple Threat Match Interim Cruiserweight Championship Tournament. What a way to kick off this episode of NXT, am I right? Atlas delivered the rainbow DDT but Kushida broke Jake's pin. Speaking of Kushida, he nailed the armbar submission, however, Drake pinned Atlas because Atlas' shoulders were on the mat and will meet El Hijo Del Fantasma for the finals next week. I don't know if Drake is rehired or he's going to be rehired but Maverick has a big ta...
