WWE NXT 26/6/19 | My Coherent Review.

This was a decent episode with a shocking ending. Find out about my thoughts on the ending by scrolling down at the end. 

Joaquin Wilde aka DJZ vs Angel Garza aka Humberto Garza.

This episode of NXT kicked off with the first round of the NXT Breakout tournament if you can't tell from reading the heading above.

I'm familiar with DJZ because of his days in TNA when I used to watch Impact. Nigel made mention that Angel Garza is actually cousins with Humberto Carrillo. During the match, Garza took off in what I thought was his wrestling tights and showed off his wrestling trunks instead which was funny.

The match ended with Angel Garza delivering a butterfly stunner minutes after he hit a Spanish fly from the top rope and won the match. Didn't expect this win but this match was a banger. A good kind of banger (okay. That just sounded weird). 


Then, Damian Priest was interviewed outside the arena about his impressive debut match and Priest simply said that nobody will forget the name of Damian Priest. I love that dude's voice already. Makes me feel jibbly inside (why am I so odd today?) 

The Street Profits vs The Forgotten Sons for the NXT Tag Team Championship.

Before the match started, The Street Profits wants to put the title on the line in this match and obviously, they accepted. The match ended in a DQ after Jaxson Ryker puts his hands on Angelo Dawkins. Danny Burch and Oney Lorcan came out and took out The Forgotten Sons and both Lorcan and Burch had the titles in possession. 

They eventually gave it to The Street Profits and The Profits hold those titles high. Give me that match between Burch and Oney Lorcan vs The Street Profits instead of a triple threat tag match with The Forgotten Sons added because a two on two match sounds intriguing. 

Nykos Rikos vs The Returning Keith Lee.

This was a straight up squash match. Keith Lee won the match with a limit breaker which is a fireman's carry into a powerslam. 

Adam Cole had his championship celebration kicked off with him going into a shop in England called "The Gargano's" and speaking of The Undisputed Era, a match between Roderick Strong and Tyler Breeze is scheduled for next week's NXT TV episode as well as the NXT Breakout tournament continues on. Should be a………. Banger (Why Omar? Just Why?) 

Io Shirai vs Shayna Baszler for the NXT Women's Championship Inside A Steel Cage.

I love Mauro Ranallo and I hate being that guy but I gotta correct him on this. This is not the first time that we've had a women's steel cage match. Maybe he meant that it's the first time that the NXT women's championship was defended inside a steel cage?

Either way, the match already happened and it was great. Io at one point, delivered a moonsault from the top of the cage after Jessamyn Duke, Marina Shafir interfered in the match to which Candice LeRae helped even the odds. 

The match ended with an oopse from Io in the sense that she used the cage door to escape the submission hold delivered by Baszler and then, Baszler collapsed on the outside. Io Shirai finally snapped and puts her frustrations on Candice by psychotically beating the crap out of her. I really like that heel turn because she was kinda bland as a character and she needed a spark in her. 

So, to recap for all of you slow mofos: 

Like: The steel cage match and the ending, the opening match. 

Didn’t like: nothing.

The 5 News Week: An Interview With ROH's Eli Isom, Fans Singing Petitions For Charlotte Flair Not Winning Titles Anymore!?

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. An Interview With ROH's Eli Isom.  Yes. After several and several and several of The 5 News Week articles that I've been putting out since late 2018, I finally got an interview for you guys.  The person in question is Ring Of Honour's Eli Isom. Since graduating from the ROH Dojo, Isom has worked and learned from the absolute best in the industry:  "I’m lucky that I got a chance to train from scratch with ROH, without that kind of training who knows where I’d be right now." So, without further ado, here is the conversation I had with Eli.  Omar: My first question is, how would you describe the persona of "Eli Isom" to resident WWE shills like myself? Eli Isom: For me, my wrestling persona isn’t too far off from who I real...

The 5 News Week Look Back At Each Individual Highlight Of Zack Ryder, Lio Rush as Cruiserweight Championship, The Writer Behind The Otis And Mandy Rose Story.

April 15th, 2020 is a memorable day for me. It is definitely the saddest and noteworthy day of not only mine and the fans' lives but as well as the performers and staff who were affected by this. I am of course referring to the day that WWE released dozens of talented, hard-working people.  For those who are new, I usually report on the 5 major or minor news of the week and that was the original plan.  However, since this week is probably going to be known in the future for the releases, I want to instead document 5 of the performers and staff's individual highlights in their tenure with WWE.  Understand that without the hardworking wrestlers, producers, ring crew, writers and the rest of the staff doing what they do best, there wouldn't be a Playard Wrestling Post. Without further ado, Ladies and gentlemen, this is The 5 News Week Look Back.  How Zack Ryder's Popularity In 2011 Played A Role In WWE's YouTube Strategy Today.  It's hard to believe ...

Priscilla Kelly Used A Tampon In A Wrestling Match: Right Or Wrong?

    If you have been away from social media for the past day or so, a wrestler by the name of Priscilla Kelly (who by the way, recently competed in the second Mae Young Classic tournament) competed in a match in which she pulled out her tampon and put it on her rival's mouth. That struck the wrestling world on Twitter with differences of opinions. She did respond to this on Twitter and here's what she had to say: Hey guys. Ya know, it's all fake. 21+ show with a bar. Can't take life so serious all the time. Call me what you will... 🌹 — The Priscilla Kelly (@priscillakelly_) January 5, 2019 What do I think of this? I don't understand why this became as viral as it is considering that we've seen hardcore, brutal, disgusting stuff in a wrestling match before. However, it did get an "ugh" reaction out of me.  Was it right or wrong that she did this? My answer is none considering that wrestling is subjective and there's no such thing ...
