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. 

WWE PhotoThe rest of Undisputed Era, however, weren't happy on taking an L at Takeover: Toronto and Cole encouraged Fish, O'Reilly and Strong to get a rematch for the championship they each competed in. 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. 

WWE Photo

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.

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 Smackdown 20/8/21 | A Coherent Review.

  That CM Punk return was so noteworthy, it blew this entire episode out of the water. That’s it. That’s the opening statement.  Images via WWE.com   Edge Wasn't Playing When He Said That He'll Put Seth Into Darkness.  The show started off with the Rated R superstar saying that Rollins has made the guy find his heart when the blood runs black.  In other words, he'll beat the shit out of Rollins at slamming of summer.  Speaking of "the blood runs black", after Seth Rollins gave a speech on how he can't be on Sethy's level, the man that says "drip" more times than a white dude that streams on Twitch, was covered in black liquid following Gangrel's theme song playing in the background.  Edge ain't f**king around. I appreciated the uniqueness of the segment and how it was a tribute to WWE's continuity (which if you've been watching WWE for a longer period of time then you'll know that WWE acknowledging their storytelling cohesion ...

Netflix's The Main Event | A Coherent Review.

Last spring, WWE had announced that they've partnered with Netflix to create content via their movie division on the streaming service. In other words, Netflix decided to feature even more badly marketed and awfully made movies. Luckily, WWE's latest joint isn't that bad at all. Don't get me wrong, it's no " Marriage Story " but, it does pull off a capable effort of telling a story about being yourself (warning, this   review contains a few minor spoilers).  The premise of this movie goes like this. An 11-year-old wrestling fan named Leo (played by Seth Carr) finds a luchador mask that gives him superhuman strength and agility. He then applied his new-found powers to in-ring action where he competes in a $50,000 WWE NXT tournament.  If it sounds familiar, that is because it's pretty much the premise of the film " Like Mike " with obvious differences like this movie is wrestling themed instead of basketball, it stars an 11-yea...
