WWE NXT 31/7/19 | My Coherent Review.

Image result for matt riddle vs kassius ohno
A very good edition of NXT TV and that’s all I have to say about that. 

Tyler Breeze vs Jaxson Ryker. 

WWE Photo
Ryker at one point, delivered a great backbreaker in a side slam position. Breeze took the W with the roll-up and Then, Prince Pretty was assaulted by the rest of Forgotten Sons. Fandango made his return to help his "Fashion Police" tag team partner in Tyler Breeze.

Man, what a way to start off this episode. I absolutely love this and Fandango came out of this like a Goddamn superstar just like his new body look. This could've easily ended a show but they decided not to which was interesting in terms of how Fandango showed up. 

Bronson Reed ve Cameron Grimes. Semi-Finals NXT Breakout Tournament.

During the match, Grimes almost took out the big man with a clothesline but minutes later, Reed countered that with a devastating looking senton. Grimes hits the running double stomp out of nowhere and advances the finals, facing the charismatic Jordan Myles. 

Shayna Baszler Got Mia Yim's Message.

WWE Photo
The NXT women's champion talked about Mia Yim because Mia beating up Shayna's gang in Jessamyn Duke and Marina Shafir calling it "unprofessional". Mia Yim's music hits and when Yim walked by, she said that "street rat" is going to bring a fight the champ can't train for. Baszler replied by telling Mia that she's "street trash". 

This segment did its job to build hype for the women's champion but I still don't feel that Canada isn't the place to lose Shayna's championship. 

William Regal saw a pissed off Candice LeRae and Candice wanted a match against Io Shirai at Takeover Toronto. Regal said yes. Also, a tag team championship contract signing for next week's show as well as my quick predictions for NXT Takeover: Toronto so follow this very blog for that. 

Pete Dunne vs Roderick Strong. 

WWE Photo
This match has one of the best sequences I've seen all year and I'll tell you my favourite one. Roderick Strong delivered an Olympic slam and tried to hit a back suplex but Dunne reversed that into a DDT. 

Another great sequence was when Strong hits a powerbomb and turned it into a Boston crab. Pete Dunne reversed that into a submission which included that finger-snapping move that Dunne usually does and won the match. 

WWE Photo
Velveteen Dream came out and did a pose with the title to which Pete Dunne grabbed his hand and took Dream out with the bitter end. I got nothing to add other than it was a great main event. Can't wait for Dunne, Strong and Dream square off at Takeover: Toronto. 

So, to recap for all of you slow mofos: 

Like: Fandango's great return, Pete Dunne vs Roderick Strong. 

Didn't like: Nothing.

WrestleFest DXB's Fahrenheit 971 | A Coherent W.

  Being a fan of pro wrestling (or any other medium of entertainment) does have its pros and cons when engaging with the industry as a whole.  On one hand, you've witnessed an Eddie Kingston promo that'll make you tear up more than the opening scene of Up.  On the other hand, going to the wrestling subreddit will definitely have you questioning humanity as a whole and the fact that living in an area where a wrestling presence pretty much doesn't exist like a Vince Russo-written storyline that is, you know, GOOD!?  Luckily, the latter retracted my con as a fan because I'm talking about Wrestlefest DXB and their latest joint, "971 Fahrenheit".  Martin Bushby of now Post Wrestling Alumni brought the event to my attention because like a wrestler on an episode of RAW I get distracted all the time.  So, I decided to take a short journey to a taxi then a bus then a train then a 30-minute walk to the show itself and I know I'm going to sound biased as f**k but I l...

Let's Talk About The White Rabbit In The Room.

I haven't reviewed last year's show mainly because it was so good and clearly as extreme as any ECW match and I'm happy to tell all 3 of y'all that this one is better by several inches or so. Why? *slaps my bald head* HERE'S WHY. The opening match between Sheamus and Gunther's crew ruled harder than the Mongolian empire.  It was basically an enhanced version of Sheamus' match with Gunther last night on Smackdown and I loved it.  The Brawling Brutes' victory means one thing that is clearly obvious, a rematch between Sheamus and Gunther for the intercontinental championship aka the only series of rematches I don't mind.  Ronda Rousey and Liv Morgan delivered in what was a wrestling match equivalent to the X-Men Dark Phoenix movie.  While Bianca Belair and Bayley had their equivalent to the first Iron Man movie in that it was decent.  Drew McIntyre and Karrion Kross had an okay edition of the "Meaty men slapping meat".  That spear from Edge to...

A Few Thoughts On RAW And Smackdown: RAW wasn't GREAT!?

  Since this blog will be less of a priority now considering I'm focusing on my podcast now (hit the 5 stars on Apple Podcast you sons of b*tches), I decided to share my few thoughts on RAW, Smackdown, I guess?  Smackdown.  The blue brand delivered yet another good episode this week and it's probably due to the fact that Braun Strowman taking out the Maximum Model is high-key funny as f**k.  The folks over at Titan Towers are bringing back the essence of their characters whether it's Kevin Owens, Shayna Baszler or in this case, Big Braun himself.   As a fan, you gotta love it, especially since in the case of Strowman, the dude hasn't been the same since he turned heel 4 years ago when feuding with Roman Reigns for the universal title.   Other noteworthy segments include Logan Paul challenging Roman Reigns for the big world universal multiverse galactic cinematic championship.  Imagine they pulled that match off 7 years ago back when Logan was on V...
