WWE NXT 19/6/19 | My Coherent Review.

This episode was okay. Nothing really happened besides some announcements for next week's show and beyond. 

The Rest Of Undisputed Era Celebrates Adam Cole's Big NXT Takeover Victory.

Adam Cole now being the 16th NXT champion, said that he told us so and he has fulfilled his prophecy. Cole also said that he's going to remake the NXT universe into an Undisputed image.

Did he unveil that image to the world? Well, it's not an image really but rather he shows us the NXT opening intro featuring the Undisputed Era only which was badass I must say. 

Adam Cole gave a warning to the North American champion and the NXT Tag Team Champions that they should shine those belts real nice. Speaking of The North American, out came the Velveteen Dream. The Dream said that the NXT Championship would look nice with his North American championship.

After Roderick Strong gave a lame response with "Dream on", Matt Riddle showed up and said that he's a stallion. Adam Cole countered that by saying that Riddle should go back to writing online reviews about the Attitude era. Was that a reference about his days at fightful? 

Tyler Breeze came out and told The Undisputed Era that they're in a match against Breeze, Riddle and Dream. This was an okay segment. Probably the best part about this was the crowd chanting "you're gorgeous" and "OG" to Tyler Breeze. 

Raul Mendoza vs The Debuting Damian Priest.

Damian Priest aka Punishment Martinez looked great in this match. Priest won the match with a twisting cutter. 

After the match, general manager William Regal made the announcement that a tournament is happening next week called "NXT Breakout" in which they selected 9 competitors and those people include Jordan Myles, BOA, Cameron Grimes aka Trevor Lee, Isiah "Swerve" Scott aka Shane Strickland, Dexter Lumis aka Sam Shaw, Bronson Reed aka Junah Rock, Angel Garza aka Humberto Garza and Joaquin Wilde aka DJZ .

I mean if I were one of those guys and I won the whole thing, I'll probably go for the NXT title but that's just me though. As far as this announcement goes, I love me some tournament. More tournament equals more wrestling and there's nothing wrong with that. Also, this is a great way of utilizing unused talent. Something that I wish the main roster would do. 

Taynara Conti vs Xia Li.

We go from a great video package about Mia Yim to a match that had a pretty bad looking judo throw from Conti. Xia Li won the match with a heel kick. Not a fan of this match to the honest. The crowd was into it so that's nice but I, unfortunately, wasn't. Curious as to where Xia Li goes from here though. 

Then, a Street Profits segment aired and they pretty much were celebrating their won with the fans outside or Full Sail and those guys are gonna face The Forgotten Sons so there's that. 

The Undisputed Era in Adam Cole, Bobby Fish and Roderick Strong vs Matt Riddle, Velveteen Dream and Tyler Breeze. 

WWE Photo
Matt Riddle delivering a kneebar to Adam Cole made me smile considering what Riddle said about Goldberg's kneebar. Minutes after that, Riddle did a suplex but Cole reversed that into a backstabber. 

Because Velveteen Dream tagged Tyler while Tyler was going to do a suicide dive and had some miscommunications, The Undisputed Era won the match with a suplex position into a backbreaker from Strong to the Velveteen Dream.

 In other words, Roderick Strong pinned the champ. Surely, Roderick's getting a North American championship match right seeing how the misunderstanding played put between Breeze and Drew right? Overall a decent 6 man tag match. 

So, to recap for all of you slow mofos: 

Like: Damian Priest's debut. 

Didn't like: Taynara Conti vs Xia Li.

A Guide On How To Improve Wrestling Criticism.

Now, before you all verbally eat me alive like a hippopotamus (yes hippos eat humans, look that up), understand that I’m just an average dude writing about pro wrestling and doesn’t claim to be an expert in anything and that includes professional wrestling (except cooking. I’m damn good at cooking).  However, what I’ve been discovering as a pro wrestling blogger for over a year is that there are some wrestling criticism out there that just make me wanna scratch my head to the point where my hands turn into an electric shaver if that makes sense. For instance, “Why is Ricochet’s trunks red instead of white?” or “Why’s Andrade wearing his Luchador mask for his entrance every week?”  In other words, they’re nitpicking and trust me I do that ALL THE TIME in my wrestling reviews. There’s nothing wrong with nitpicking certain things but the difference is that I acknowledge that I’m nitpicking and those guys clearly don’t.  There are fans out there on the interweb that b...

WWE RAW 30/12/19 | My Coherent Review.

I'm back from a two-week review hiatus and honestly, it was refreshing but this ain't about me. You're here for my thoughts on the final RAW of the 2010s and it was decent until the ending.  I'm still in shock as to what did I just witness. I've not been this shocked from seeing an ending like that probably since watching the movie "Schindler's List".  Kevin Owens Wants To Take Seth Rollins And AOP Down.  Owens in a promo, says that the heel trio are disrespecting Rey Mysterio and shows footage of Mysterio losing the US title to Andrade in a house show even though the luchador wasn't 100%.  Seth Rollins and his friends came out and Kevin Owens immediately tried to attack AOP but that did not fail thanks to Samoa Joe and chaos has ensued to start off RAW.  Charly Caruso showed up to interview Samoa Joe about what AOP and Rollins did to him last week to which a bunch of security guards entered the locker room to get rid of Owens ...

AEW Double Or Nothing | My Coherent Review.

I was supposed to post this review two hours after the show aired but my internet connection went down for several hours and I got extremely frustrated and if you’re addicted to the interwebs, that is probably the scariest thing ever other than your worst fear of course. Anyways, I, unfortunately, haven't watched the two pre-show matches because I was out working. So, the million dollar question, was AEW's Double Or Nothing a great show? I'm happy to announce that it was an outstanding PPV overall. One of the problems I had with ALL IN is the match card placements and they fixed it in this PPV.  Oh, and I'm warning you guys that this PPV review is longer than my Wrestlemania 35 review (which you can click here ) just because a lot of things happened on this show. Unfortunately, I couldn’t find pictures for each match so y’all are only going to see the writing.  Double Or Nothing started off with the Hamilton stars sang the American National anthem (omg, can Ja...
