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.

The 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.

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 Smackdown 24/4/20 | A Coherent Review.

This week's Smackdown show was decent but it wasn't as strong as the previous weeks and *hits his head a few times* here's why. The New Day Celebrates Their Title Victory. The show kicked off with the now 8th time WWE tag team champions, The New Day and like the title above, they were celebrating their big title win last week (No sh*t, Omar). During the segment, Kofi mentioned that there's nothing wrong with pointing out that they have more title reigns than The Hart Foundation, Edge and Christian, Demolition, The New Age Outlaws etc because it's them being proud of their accomplishments. Out came Lucha House Party, The Miz and John Morrison and they pretty much said that they deserve a title shot. The Forgotten Sons showed up to tell The New Day, Lucha House Party and every other tag team watching that they will never be forgotten. They lived up to that statement as the Forgotten Sons destroyed Lucha House Party and The New Day. ...

WWE RAW 28/12/20 | A Bit Late Coherent Review.

Before I start this review, I wanna say rest in peace to Jon Huber better known as the person behind the character of Luke Harper and Brodie Lee. It was a tough, painful 3 days for the pro wrestling industry and I certainly felt that. If there's one thing I've learned from the number of great stories being told by the people he has worked with is that Jon is a charming, funny and overall a fantastic human being that loves his family. After reading the countless amount of fantastic tribute posts (including from the likes of Molly Belle of Wrestle Inn and Andrew Thompson of Post Wrestling ), that bit about Jon as a family man made me think of my current relationship with my father and the ways I'm trying to improve from my standpoint. I know this is a cheese pizza saying but tell the people you cared about that you love 'em because that line might make their day. So. Thank you, Jon Huber, for being the light that brightens everybody's darkness. Now, Ho...

WWE Smackdown Live 30/10/18 | My Coherent Review.

Smackdown Live yesterday was a skippable show other than the opening segment and match in my opinion. Now usually on my RAW/Smackdown Live review, I break down what's good, what's ok and what's bad. For the first time, I'm only gonna tell you what's ok given that this show was again a skippable show and here we go. WHAT'S OK The opening segment This is the probably one of if not most noteworthy moment this week mainly because as you might know, there were reports going around that John Cena and Daniel Bryan were out of Crown Jewel and the reports are indeed true and it makes sense, especially for John Cena considering that he's an actor now and he needs to maintain his PR status. The segment itself was decent. Loved both guys' intensity and that segment leads to a WWE championship match and speaking of which............. Daniel Bryan vs AJ Styles Decent match. Expected a better from these two but again, decent nevertheless but...
