WWE NXT 17/7/19 | My Coherent Review.

I didn't feel anything about this show overall besides one very good match and an impactful debut. Here's why.

Matt Riddle vs Arturo Ruas.

Those two guys have a background in MMA so it was really interesting as to how the match turned out. Started out with some technical wrestling which if you've been a follower of this blog then you'll know how much I LOVE technical submission wrestling.

The match ended with Matt Riddle delivering a series of rights and the ref stopped it which means that Matt won the match. After that, a masked man revealed as Killan Dan was beating the crap out of him and it was so bad that Mauro Ranallo screamed "Mamma Mia" on top of his lungs which is pretty rare.

I actually really liked this. It's a different way to debut somebody and insert that person quickly in a feud instead of having that superstar wrestle in so many squash matches which I don't mind if they went in that route.

The Street Profits had their Street Talk about what happened at the end of last week's episode and they basically said that they're gonna keep those titles and not even Undisputed Era are going to take the tag team championship.

Dexter Lumis vs Bronson Reed.

Lumis is rocking the "Stranger Things" inspired theme music which surprisingly fits. The match overall was slow at first but did pick up once Lumis showed some athleticism in this match. That match has ended with a splash from Reed and won the match.

Tyler Breeze had some verbal interaction with the Forgotten Sons. It was funny that Breeze called Jaxson Ryker as "Buddy Murphy" you know, because Murphy and Wesley Blake were a tag team at one point.

Kushida vs Apollo Crews.

It's great to see Apollo Crews back in NXT and he, by the way, got a standing ovation from the full sail crowd. The match itself was very good and a great example of why Crews is so good in the ring.

Kushida threw Apollo from the top rope into an armbar which looked great. The match ended with Kushida putting Apollo into a kimura lock.

Keith Lee is going to face Damian Priest which I'm not gonna lie, I wish it wasn't Keith Lee that's taking an L but it is what it is.

Adam Cole Calls Out One Of Johnny Gargano's Buddies.

Cole called out Twan Tucker (who's the mentor for Johnny Gargano at a wrestling school in Cleveland) and gave him an opportunity to fight with the NXT champion without his Undisputed Era members. Tucker said that unlike Adam, he's not alone and Johnny Gargano rushed to Adam Cole and just like Matt Riddle earlier, Adam was a victim of a vicious attack even not letting go of the Gargano escape.

I thought that we're going to get an actual match but I was surprised. This was a decent replacement and that's all I gotta say about that.

So, to recap for all of you slow mofos:

Like: Kushida vs Apollo Crews, Killian Dain showing up.

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...

WWE Survivor Series 2018 | My Coherent Review.

Hello, my fellow wrestling fans reading this and welcome to my coherent review for Survivor Series 2018. Overall, it was a very entertaining show throughout with some minor issues and here's why. (KICK OFF SHOW) Tag team Survivor Series match This match was a great example of a skippable match until the last moments. Xavier Woods did the springboard elbow drop and both members of The Revival countered that into a shatter machine which look amazing. Minutes later, Scott Dawson hit a superplex to Jimmy Uso and an immediate frog splash from Dash Wilder to a near fall. After that, Both Usos hit a superkick to Dash followed by a Uso splash and just like that, the Smackdown team took the W which WWE wants to forget about that (so stupid). A decent match but with a boring start in my opinion. (MAIN SHOW) Women’s Survivor Series match Before the match started when Nia Jax’s music hit, she got volcanic heat from the Los Ang...

WWE RAW 29/3/21 | A Coherent Review.

Once again, this show was mediocre as f**k. Images via WWE.com The Hurt Business Is No More. Why? Because WWE hates friendships. All lame jokes aside, the actual reason is that Cedric Alexander and Shelton didn't get the job done on taking out Drew McIntyre. Alexander and Benjamin weren't too happy with Bobby's words and it led to a brawl. Wow. It looks like Shelton Benjamin and Cedric Alexander will go right back to not being on TV for a longer period of time. I don't like this at all! Riddle suggested an idea to Titus O'Neil of a Wrestlemania roast to which the guy was attacked by Sheamus. Speaking of Sheamus and Riddle…… Riddle vs Sheamus. I ain't a fan of Riddle but he and Sheamus have incredible chemistry because this match was fun. Sheamus pinned the US champion. After the match, Riddle pushed Sheamus to the outside. I smell a rematch happening at Wrestlemania. Shane McMahon Calls Braun Strowman Dumb By Bringing up Strowman's Fifth...
