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.

WWE Smackdown 17/12/21 | A Coherent Review.

Another week, another meh episode of Smackdown although the ending was pretty eye-opening.  Images via WWE.com   The Viking Raiders vs Jinder Mahal And Shanky.  After a backstage segment that included The Usos roasting Xavier Woods' kingship, the blue brand really started the show with a match (not this one) which is a rare thing to see on main roster television. And the match wasn't bad at all.  The Viking Raider defeated the team of Jinder and Shanky with a splash from Ivor. Does everyone want a Happy Corbin segment? Well, no and Drew McIntyre agrees as he took out Corbin and Madcap Moss to retrieve his sword which sounds like a bad King Arthur comedy flick or something.  Naomi Wants A Match With Sonya Deville.  Naomi is upset at how Sonya Deville acted like a Susan over the past few months so the glow queen challenged the actual manager to a match at Day 1 and Sonya was like, "Ahhhh, no".  Naomi then had a match with Shayna Baszler and within minute...

My Coherent Wrestling Wednesdays: Chris Jericho Offers Moxley To Join Inner Circle, The Go-Home Show Before Dec 18th.

I thought the middle act of AEW Dynamite suffered some pacing issues even though it was overall a much stronger show than last week's episode.  The latest episode of NXT, however, has built a solid foundation on what's to come on December 18th. The main question is, which show do I like better? The answer is AEW.  NXT  Highlights. Angel Garza vs Lio Rush For The NXT Cruiserweight Championship.  Was this match better than their first encounter? Like Snoop Dogg's verse in Sasha Banks' theme song, "Hell yea". Garza slams Rush hard on the ring apron by pushing the champ. Moments later, Garza delivers the Spanish Fly and Rush kicked out of that.  As Rush hits the frog splash, the champ wanted to pull him back in the middle of the ring but instead, he ripped off Garza's pants (nice attention to detail).  Angel then hits the wind clipper but Lio kicked out which led to a wind clipper submission and the man of the hour tapped out which m...

NXT Takeover Phoenix | My Coherent Review.

NXT Takeover was a great show with great wrestling, energetic crowd and intriguing storytelling (OMG, REALLY? I didn’t know that).  War Raiders vs The Undisputed Era (Kyle O’ Reilly and Roderick Strong) for the NXT Tag Team Championship.  First off, cool entrance by War Raiders. Secondly, the match was entertaining. At one point, Strong did a superplex to Hanson. The match ended with War Raiders delivered the Fallout to Kyle O ‘Reilly and won the match. War Raiders are the new NXT Tag Team Champions deservedly so.  Matt Riddle vs Kassius Ohno. During the match, Ohno hit Riddle right on his mouth which absolutely looked brutal. Minutes after that, Riddle hits Ohno with series of elbow strikes which made Ohno tap out and won the match. A very unique finish but nevertheless, this was a decent match.  Johnny Gargano vs Ricochet for the NXT North American Championship.  Those guys put on the absolute clinic of a wrestling match. But that ending ...
