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.

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.

Should Dave Meltzer Get Rid Of His Rating System?

So a few weeks ago, good old Dave Meltzer of the wrestling observer newsletter gave the Kazuchika Okada vs Kenny omega match at dominion 2018 a 7-star rating. According to the interent wrestling database , this match is by far his HIGHEST match rating ever (i don't blame him because the match was amazing). So statistically, this is his favourite match of all time . Now, why I'm writing this now?  Well, his best match ratings have been a consistent 5 stars since 1983 with the exception of all the Omega vs Okada matches and the Mitsuharu Misawa vs Toshiaki Kawada match at AJPW's Budokan hall show in June of 1994.  There are fans that take his match ratings as an offence somehow like "Why he rates X match better than Y match?" or thinks that he "hates" WWE which is ridiculous considering that he gave three WWE matches a 5 star ratings just this past year. One was the ladder match to crown the first ever NXT North American champion, the Johnny Garga...

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 ...

WWE Smackdown Live 19/2/19 | My Coherent Review.

This show was overall, a skippable show just like RAW yesterday and here's why.  Opening segment.  The show kicked off with Shane McMahon with his usual cheap pop. After that, Shane McMahon announced that Aleister Black, Johnny Gargano, Ricochet and Tommaso Ciampa will be on SmackDown Live just like RAW last night (click here to read my RAW review).  Out came The Miz and he said that he hasn't stop thinking about their match at Elimination Chamber. Miz also said he admitted that he used Shane because Miz wanted to make Shane McMahon understand where's Miz's coming from.  Miz then wanted a rematch between him, Shane McMahon and the Usos for the SmackDown Live tag team championship to which the Usos came out and insulted The Miz.  That led to Shane McMahon saying that the rematch is on but at Fastlane in two weeks. So we got the first official match scheduled for Fastlane and considering that Shane is a McMahon and has all the Authority, I do...
