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 Smackdown Live 28/8/18 | My Coherent Review.

Overall, Smackdown Live was better than RAW in terms of having a somewhat good ending. Why you ask? Well, I'm gonna give you what's good, what's ok and the bad parts about this show were none in my opinion. Without further ado, this is my coherent, honest review of this week's Smackdown Live. WHAT'S GOOD New day's celebration You have the new day celebration with their interaction with booker T and the addition of the spinaroonie or the spinaroonie, in this case, was entertaining and an odd but amusing opening segment. Daniel Bryan vs Andrade "Cien" almas Daniel Bryan's promo with Brie Bella by his side was like the Naomi vs Billie Kay match, it was there. However, the match itself was pretty good in my opinion. That chop by almas looked brutal bro like damn. Daniel Bryan wins Via DQ by miz beating him, almas hitting the hammerlock DDT, Maryse hitting a brutal looking DDT to brie bella and then miz hitting the skull cru

WWE Smackdown 14/2/20 | My Coherent Review.

Last night was my 2nd anniversary of pumping out written content on this site and I thought since this show has delivered 6 or sometimes 3 out of 10s for 4 months now, I've written some lyrics about my thoughts on Smackdown in the style of the current song opening for the blue brand. If you wanna put the instrumental version of ACDC's Are You Ready while reading this then that's cool too. *Cue the intro* Are you Ready? Are you ready for mediocrity! Then, get ready for disappointment. No one needs it. No one needs it. No one needs it. Even Bischoff. Are you ready for mediocrity! *ends with some guitar solos*. The lyrics may suck but it is at least better than whatever the hell Justin Bieber meant when he sang his current single "Yummy". Now, on with the review. The Return Of A Moment Of Bliss (Unlike The Return Of The Dirt Sheets, Nobody Really Cares). Both Bliss and Nikki Cross talked about their c

WWE RAW 6/7/20 | A Coherent Review.

This episode of RAW actually made me look forward to Extreme Rules and that's something WWE doesn't do all that well in recent years. It was a great effort by the powers that be. Dolph Ziggler Picks The Stipulation For The WWE Championship At Extreme Rules: The Horror Show. McIntyre is waiting for Dolph Ziggler to pick the stipulation for their championship match at Extreme Rules. Drew got his wish as Dolph Ziggler said that Drew has been stabbing people in the back and that includes the person that Ziggler brought up but not verbally, Heath Slater. In a very emotional promo, Slater told his former 3MB mate that he was there for Drew McIntyre when Drew was fired from WWE in 2014 but the Scotsmen wasn't there for Slater when he was fired this year. So, the one-man-band challenged him to a match and the WWE champion accepted. How was the match? It was a squash bout. Drew wins with the claymore to which Ziggler was picking on Heath and Mc
