WWE NXT 25/9/19 | My Coherent Review.

Not as great as last week's show but it was a good effort overall by NXT. 

Keith Lee vs Dominic Djakovic.

A rematch from a fantastic match several weeks ago and no surprise, it was amazing. After a test of strength being implemented by both guys, Lee hits a quick crossbody. 

Djakovic then delivered a chokeslam to Lee on the ring apron. Lee countered that devastating moment with an impressive one with a moonsault from the middle rope.

A Canadian destroyer and a moonsault from Djakovic later and Djakovic was shocked that Keith carried him to which Lee delivered a modified jackhammer to win this match.

And yes, it was a 50/50 booking but WHO. THE. HELL. CARES!? That is what I call a wrestling equivalent of a delicious entree.

Dakota Kai vs Taynara.

Nice seeing Dakota Kai once again. The New Zealander won the match with GTK or the go-to kick. 

The Street Profits cut a promo earlier about their tag team title match next week against the Undisputed Era and how they will capture the titles once more. I don't mind it given that the tag team division is kinda weak right now. 

Killian Dain vs Matt Riddle. Winner Gets An Opportunity To Face The NXT Champion Next Week For The NXT Championship.

Mauro Ranallo was right in that the first half of the match was executed as a normal match but that wasn't the case during the commercial break where Riddle hits Dain with a series of strikes via a Kendo stick. 

Dain would actually destroy somebody with that suicide dive to Riddle but Riddle managed to get back up.

Eventually, they brawled near the stage area which led to Dain delivering a crossbody to Riddle through a wooden wall. Matt then hits a knee strike through a steel chair to Dain followed by an armbar and he won this match…bro. 

WWE Photo
After the match, Adam Cole showed up inside the ring to say that Riddle is not on his league but he shut him up with an armbar and the rest of the Undisputed Era ran to the rescue and fortunately for Matt Riddle, he escaped immediately. A very fun encounter. Can't wait to watch this NXT match title next week though. 

Rhea Ripley vs Kayden Carter.

Formerly known as Lacey Lane. The 2018 Mae Young classic tournament competitor was very impressive but that wasn't enough because she got riptided by Rhea Ripley. 

Oney Lorcan And Danny Burch vs Ever-Rise. 

WWE Photo
Ever-Rise were surprisingly dominant throughout this match for the most part. Danny Burch makes a comeback with European uppercuts and a series of chops on both members of Ever-Rise which led to a double team DDT finish and won the match. 

If they give Ever-Rise more Ws then the NXT might have another legit tag team because they were impressive in this match. 

Cameron Grimes vs Raul Mendoza. 

WWE Photo

Raul dodged a running stomp from Grimes moments after the bell has rung. They collided with their lower chests. The match has ended with a running stomp from Grimes and the North Carolina native won the match. 

This felt like a typical cruiserweight match. It wasn't great but it did its job of executing a decent encounter though. 

Kushida And Two Mystery Partners Vs Imperium in Alexander Wolfe, Fabian Aichner and Marcel Barthel. 

WWE Photo
The two mystery partners Kushida brought in were The Fashion Police in Tyler Breeze and Fandango which got a negative reaction from Nigel (that made me laugh). 

The babyface team were in the zone throughout the first half of this match but Barthel delivered a vicious European uppercut to Tyler Breeze. Tyler Breeze tagged Fandango and Fandango tore the house down with a dive on the heel team.

WWE Photo
Kushida led his team to victory with a bridge roll up to Barthel he encountered a big boot from Walter. To quote in the style of Asuka, Nobody is ready for Walter. 

So, to recap for all of you slow mofos.

Like: Keith Lee vs Dominic Djakovic, Killian Dain vs Matt Riddle. 

Didn't like: Nothing. 

Now, you're probably asking "Are you going to review AEW?" as a matter of fact, yes but I don't want to review NXT and AEW Dynamite separately at the same day hours apart because usually, I put a lot of thought and effort in my reviews and I don't like to rush my reviews like that. 

So, I'm here to tell you guys that starting next week, I'm combining my reviews for both shows with a different format called "My Coherent Wrestling Wednesdays". The format is simple. 

In each show, I'll tell you my highlights, some other things that I thought was fine and stuff that I thought was lame. Hoping that you guys will enjoy the format and this review. Follow me on Twitter @omartheplayaguy and follow the blog for honest pro wrestling opinions. As always, stay safe smarks.

The 5 News Week: An Interview With ROH's Eli Isom, Fans Singing Petitions For Charlotte Flair Not Winning Titles Anymore!?

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. Without further ado, here are the 5 news week. An Interview With ROH's Eli Isom.  Yes. After several and several and several of The 5 News Week articles that I've been putting out since late 2018, I finally got an interview for you guys.  The person in question is Ring Of Honour's Eli Isom. Since graduating from the ROH Dojo, Isom has worked and learned from the absolute best in the industry:  "I’m lucky that I got a chance to train from scratch with ROH, without that kind of training who knows where I’d be right now." So, without further ado, here is the conversation I had with Eli.  Omar: My first question is, how would you describe the persona of "Eli Isom" to resident WWE shills like myself? Eli Isom: For me, my wrestling persona isn’t too far off from who I real...

WWE Smackdown 17/12/21 | A Coherent Review.

Another week, another meh episode of Smackdown although the ending was pretty eye-opening.  Images via WWE.com   The Viking Raiders vs Jinder Mahal And Shanky.  After a backstage segment that included The Usos roasting Xavier Woods' kingship, the blue brand really started the show with a match (not this one) which is a rare thing to see on main roster television. And the match wasn't bad at all.  The Viking Raider defeated the team of Jinder and Shanky with a splash from Ivor. Does everyone want a Happy Corbin segment? Well, no and Drew McIntyre agrees as he took out Corbin and Madcap Moss to retrieve his sword which sounds like a bad King Arthur comedy flick or something.  Naomi Wants A Match With Sonya Deville.  Naomi is upset at how Sonya Deville acted like a Susan over the past few months so the glow queen challenged the actual manager to a match at Day 1 and Sonya was like, "Ahhhh, no".  Naomi then had a match with Shayna Baszler and within minute...

WWE NXT UK Takeover: Cardiff | My Coherent Review.

via WWE I don't watch or review the first NXT UK Takeover for some odd reason but I'm so glad I did because that was like the main NXT Takeovers, was absolutely great to watch. I'm just speechless and if you have watched the show then you'll know why (also, if you somehow didn't watch this show, what are you doing? Go and treat yourself with some wrestling goodness.) Noam Dar vs Travis Banks.  A very enjoyable opening match. Noam Dar proves that he's great at what he does with so many submission holes because if you don't know, I'm a technical wrestling connoisseur. Noam Dar won the match with a standing shining wizard.  Cesaro vs Ilja Dragunov. Always great to see Cesaro do what he does best and that's a fight inside the square circle. So, Ilja called out Cesaro because Cesaro's looking for an open challenge and Cesaro obviously picked his challenger.  The Swiss Cyborg started off this match by throwing Dragunov to the outside ...
