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.

Will Hobbs. Professional Wrestling's Powerhouse

"What's the most powerful house you can think of? Perhaps a bungalow, something that's low, unshakable, that kinda thing? ” Hey Ew, 2022 Think of the greatest big men in the history of the business. Big Van Vader who represents pure unadulterated aggression that seamlessly benefits his ferocious in-ring style ( see his match with Mitsuharu Misawa for more information).  Bam Bam Bigelow who's unpredictability inside the ring like his flying headbutts and moonsaults has made him spectacular to watch.  The Undertaker who have built a sense of aura by masterfully marching down the ring, creating anticipation in the process as well as constructing an expression of a man who hates video games and wants “men to be like men” .  And then there's Powerhouse Will Hobbs. A man who I believe in years to come is the heir apparent to the throne of “greatest big men in wrestling” and for good reason. Mr “I Break Backs Like Bane” possesses a power that belies his exuberance.  Why ...

The 5 News Week: An Interview With Musician John Kiernan.

  WE'RE BACK LADIES, GENTLEMEN AND NB! Now, what did I miss from the several week hiatus?  *Scrolls down at the news feed* a billionaire said something stupid. Monday Night RAW is still duh and uninspired. Mass release of talent by WWE.  So……. Same old sh*t? Figures.  For those unaware (pretty much everybody), The 5 News Week is where I showcase 5 major or minor news of the week that I don't have the time to do separately.  Without further ado, here are the 5 News Week.  An Interview With Musician John Kiernan.  I kick things off with an interview from a guy that I'm hoping (as a musician) appreciates Brie Bella's theme song because my music tastes suck, musician John Kiernan.  If the name sounds familiar to you, it’s probably because you’re listening to a podcast that loves shouting out the names John “loose cannon” Lopez and ‘Beast Mode” Brock Joseph at the beginning.  Kiernan has composed and straight-up killed it in the pro wrestling musi...

Wrestling Publications And Web Design.

The internet is home to over 50 billion websites and within the pro wrestling niche, there are 60+ established sites that fans click into on a daily basis for news, editorials, reviews, interviews and other exclusive content.  Those websites have four key critical tasks. One, the content obviously. Two, the design and functionality of said sites. Three, just copy what Dave Meltzer said. And four, just make sh*t up.  Creating a site is a different beast. Some use Blogger like this site while others use square-space, Wix, or even code a site from the ground up.  The problem with developing a web page from scratch is that it's time-consuming and you have to learn some mark-up languages like HTML and CSS.  It's essentially a great skill that isn't worth it if you want a site in minutes. Now, the main question is, why am I writing this article in the first place?  When you learn a skill, you tend to have a different view on a product that is connected with the skill ...
