WWE NXT 20/8/19 | My Coherent Review.

Overall, a decent edition of NXT that has a lot going on and next week's episode should be even better than that given that the matches announced for next week's show. 

Adam Cole Told The Fans A Long Time Ago That He's Keeping His Championship.  


All members of Undisputed Era approached the ring and the leader in Adam Cole told people so that he's still going to champion and also said that if there was a Mount Rushmore of NXT champions, Cole's will be in it 4 times.

Just we thought that the opening segment has ended, Jordan Myles shows up with an NXT championship match contract and Adam Cole told him that facing him will guarantee Jordan an Undisputed failure. 

Myles tried to hand him the contract but drop it in a trolly fashion. If I won the NXT Breakout tournament with a championship match of my choosing, I'm gunning for the NXT Championship and that made a lot of sense. As far as this segment goes, I like this segment a lot. 

Damian Priest vs Mansoor.

An okay match. Damian Priest squashes Mansoor despite a decent effort by Mansoor with a crucifix powerbomb

Mia Yim vs Vanessa Bourne.

Just like the Priest vs Mansoor match, this match was aight. After Mia Yim won her respective match, out came Shayna Baszler and she offered her the opportunity to join her gang in Marina Shafir and Jessamyn Duke but she refused by trying to beat Shayna's posse up and instead, Yim ate a 3 on 1 beating from Shayna and the gang.

I guess this feud is still going and I don't know what to feel about it just like other than I'm not interested in this feud whatsoever. Man, that really proves that the NXT women's division is really weak. 

What I am really interested in is a match between Keith Lee and Dominic Djakovic and its coming next week on NXT TV next week. F' yes, I can't wait. 

Bronson Reed vs Shane Throne.

This match came about when Bronson Reed was interviewed about what's Reed going to do next until his Australia native in Shane Throne showed up basically called him a loser and Reed requested Throne to face him to which Shane accepted. 

During the match, Rees delivered a beautiful looking sitout spinebuster to Shane Throne. The match ended with a quick running knee and Throne took the W in this decent matchup. Didn't expect that Throne would win this match of all people but I hope that doesn't hurt Bronson Reed in the long run.

Velveteen Dream shows up sitting on his sofa with the help of two women pushing it to the stage area and he brought up examples of his t-shirt costing $30 and his replica sunglasses costing $10 but Dream retaining his title by pinning Pete Dunne is priceless. 

The Dream ended the promo saying that Roderick Strong would give him an experience of some sort in order for Strong to get a rematch for the North American title. Decent promo and that's all I got to say about that. 

Matt Riddle vs Killian Dain.

Matt Riddle started off this match by storming Dain to him with a series of straight rights. Dain then beats up Riddle's ribs which put Riddle in resting mode throughout this match. Matt countered Dain with a suplex and another suplex German style which was very impressive to look at.

Dain kicked Riddle with a shotgun dropkick on to the corner and a cannonball to a near fall. Killian Dain reversed Riddle's corkscrew moonsault and minutes later, Dain tried to do a backdrop on the steel steps but instead, on landing his back, it landed on his face.

 A Senton was delivered by the Beast of Belfast on the steel steps and a 3 Vader bombs from the middle rope on Riddle inside the ring this time to win this match and after the match was over and done with, Matt Riddle rushed to Killian Dain, caught him with a sleeper and the show awkwardly faded to black. 

As you can tell from reading this, that was a brutal match but I really enjoyed this match and I hope Riddle is okay from that odd landing. 

So, to recap for all of you slow mofos. 

Like: Matt Riddle vs Killian Dain, The opening segment. 

Didn't like: The Shayna Baszler feud with Mia Yim so far.

THE Coherent AEW Take: I Ain't Tellin' You No Lie, The Hook Brings You Back

PAGE AND BRYAN! HOOK! HOOK! HOOK! PAGE AND BRYAN! HOOK! HOOK! HOOK!  That's it. That's the intro.  Rampage.   Highlights.  HOOOOOOOOK!  I mean, I gotta support the man himself named Hook, DUHHH!  What can I say, I like a man that is built different, quick, agile and hard……..in professional wrestling, of course.  Suffice to say, Hook does something that Kalya Braxton doesn't and that is, making all biracials proud.  FTR vs Lucha Brothers for the AEW world tag team championship Two of the best tag teams I've ever witnessed as a wrestling fan (yes, they're THAT darn good) battling it out in an opening match so banging, not even your Beats headphone can replicate it, ya feel me?  The Lucha Brothers get to walk out of this episode of Rampage still as the reigning world tag champs.  Some Other Things That Happened.  Adam Cole defeated Wheeler Yuta - Adam Cole appreciation comment.  Dynamite.  Highlights.  Hangman Page...

Escape The Undertaker | A Short Coherent Review.

The internet. The only place where your YouTube recommended is filled with "I DON'T EVEN KNOW THAT'S PG".  It is also home to Netflix which released an interactive movie produced by future Raspberry award-winning movie studio, WWE films. Look, the idea of 3 black dudes being trapped inside a house by a white conservative dead hog, is offensive and by that description alone, you weren't sure for a sec whether you were watching Netflix or the Daily Wire.  Luckily, there wasn't a cameo from Tessa Blanchard so you should be fine.  As a fan of Mass Effect 2, I love some dialogue trees that alter the events of a movie/game.  And, from a functionality standpoint, it is a technical marvel how it gives the audience the illusion of choice (you know, like our current economic system).  I say "illusion" because therein lies the main problem I have with the film. Your choices don't matter here. Even in a WWE movie, they're still trying to avoid the fan...

WWE Smackdown Live 11/9/18 | My Coherent Review.

Smackdown live was overall a good show. Why you ask? Well, I'm gonna tell you what's good, what's ok and what's bad. Here we go.  WHAT'S GOOD Jeff Hardy vs Shinsuke Nakamura The promo before this was okay however that was a goooood match. Better than their in counter at SummerSlam. Jeff was about to beat Nakamura, however, randy outta nowhere pushes hardy on the outside hence Nakamura retains the championship and Jeff wins via DQ. They had a brawl that was better than the brawl last night on RAW I'll tell you that much.  Samoa Joe telling a bedtime story in a good not boring way.   I thought from the editing to the design of the book to the way Samoa Joe express the story was fantastic. The thing I LOVE about this is that it's a outside in the box type of promo package that worked. Man, I can't wait for this match. On Sunday night when the PPV airs, I think I'm gonna call my local "WENDYYYS" (My goodness that was awfu...
