WWE NXT 28/8/19 | My Coherent Review.

A very enjoyable edition of NXT and I know NXT is under an hour and it's a lot shorter than the main roster shows but this show felt shorter like 10 minutes short.

Io Shirai vs Cami Fields.

This episode started off with a theme song by Io Shirai that is actually growing on me week by week. Cami Fields has a very good look but she needs some character work and I hope WWE works on that at some point. Io Shirai won the match with a submission move that utilizes her thighs but I don't know the name of that submission manoeuver.

After the match, Io waited to destroy Cami with a kendo stick she brought up to which Candice LeRae rushed to the ring and Io ran like when your father came home after he found out that you skipped school. Can this feud please be for the NXT women's title at some point please the NXT creative gods, please?

Keith Lee vs Dominic Djakovic.

Did this match live up to the hype? To quote Stone Cold Steve Austin "Oh Hell Yeah". Also, didn't know notice that Djakovic has new theme music but now I do. Dominic kicked Keith's head off with that big boot.

Both men then tried to hit a suplex but Lee twisted the arm and hits an elbow strike. Lee did a crossbody and then minutes later, a pop-up chokeslam of some sort on the ring apron which was devastating to look at. Dominic countered that with a corkscrew moonsault on the outside and another moonsault this time inside the ring to a near fall.

Keith shocked the crowd and me with that Spanish fly from the top rope. The match ended with Dominic carrying Keith in the torture reck into a knee strike to win this epic match. Probably one of the best big men matches I've seen in a very long time and yes, it is a hight praise they certainly deserve. Congrats on both of those guys for that performance. So good.

Then, they played a highlight package of Johnny Gargano's run in NXT and Shane Throne approached the commentary team saying that why shouldn't the commentators focused on his winning streak which led to a commercial break. The way they went to commercial made me laugh unintentionally.

Shayna Baszler Encountered A Huge Surprise.

Mia Yim frustrated on not getting the opportunity on facing Shayna Baszler but you know who is facing the submission magician? NXT UK's own Rhea Ripley and she got a huge pop from the audience. Rhea grabbed the microphone from Baszler and she acknowledges that Baszler has dominated this division but she hasn't beaten her "bitch".

I know I simplified the promo but God almighty, that was a great promo and segment overall. Rhea being the opponent adds a lot of intrigue in this feud and I think it makes a lot of sense that Ripley is the new challenger given that Shayna pretty much beat everybody. Really curious as to how Mia Yim fits into all of this.

The Street Profits vs The Undisputed Era in Kyle O'Reilly and Bobby Fish for the NXT Tag Team Championship.

The crowd at one point, chanted "we want the smoke" (crap, I love the full sail crowd). The match started at a slow pace like most wrestling matches which by the way, is not always a bad thing.

Dawkins gave a huge comeback with a double clothesline to Fish and O'Reilly including a vicious spear to Fish. The final match of this episode ends with O'Reilly hits the high low with the help of Bobby Fish and The Undisputed Era became the first-ever 3-time NXT tag team champions.

If you watched RAW this week (which you can click here to read the whole thing), then you wouldn't be surprised at that finish given that The Street Profits had their segment on RAW without those belts. Nevertheless, this was a good tag team match.

So, to recap for all of you slow mofos.

Like: Rhea Ripley showing up, Dominic Djakovic vs Keith Lee, The Undisputed Era vs The Street Profits for the NXT Tag Team Championship.

Didn't like: Nothing.

Didn't expect an early review huh? I had some free time and I was like "why not watch NXT live and review it for you guys to enjoy?"

WWE RAW 16/8/21 | A Coherent Review.

Another week, another L for the red brand in terms of overall quality. And they do not need that L considering that it's the final show before this year's SummerSlam event. Images via WWE.com Randal Keith Orton And Riddal Are Back Together? Randy explained his actions last week, stating that he simply doesn't owe anyone an explanation because he's Randy Orton (okay?). Out came the most obnoxious person in Riddle and he wanted RKBRO to reunite. Styles showed up to hype up his big goof in Omos. That RKO last week was as confusing as the thought of Jupiter Ascending being a "good movie". The question is, did the band realigned themselves once again? The answer was a soft no if you stopped watching the show after the Riddle and AJ Styles match (I don't blame ANYONE that stops watching Monday Night RAW). However, that became a solid yes after Randy's bout with Omos. Am I the only one that feels kinda mid about this? It's not terri...

The 5 News Week: What's With The Story Of WWE Will Possibly Put Their Content On A Different OTT?

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. This past week was filled with news so fasten your virtual seat belts because this is gonna be a long one. Without further ado, here are The 5 News Week. What's With The Story That WWE Will Possibly Put Their Content On A Different OTT? This confusion all started when some fans (including myself) saw the headline from a well-respected publication "WWE In Talks Talks to Sell PPV Rights to Another ‘Major’ Streaming Service." That publication is The Wrap and the article pretty much talked about what Vinne Mac said in the Q4 2019 earnings report about the possibility of putting their content to a major streaming service or enhance the prize point to a tiered payment but the deal to quote The Wrap " if made — would be announced by next month.". Did the old man say this? Let...

WWE Smackdown Live 10/7/18 | My Coherent Review.

Smackdown live was a bad show that did nothing as a wrestling fan to gain any excitement for extreme rules. Why you ask? Well i'm gonna give you what's good. No scratch that, i'm gonna give you what's ok and what's bad. Here we go. WHAT'S OK The opening segment and the brawl after that The opening segment was meh. And the brawl after that was fine. Didn't make me go "OHHHHHHHHHHH" or anything like along those lines. That brawl leads to a TEN MAN TAG TEAM match (Ummmmmm no shit omar). I will say this, the segment kinda teased the fact that maybe kane will turn on his best friend? I don't know. Should be interesting. Andrade "cien" almas vs Sin cara The match was surprisingly decent. At one point andrade delivered a devastating stomp to sin cara on the ring apron. Andrade wins with a running knee to sin cara on the middle rope. Hoping andrade can move on to bigger and better things. WHAT'S BAD ...
