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

Image result for aleister black
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.

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 ...
