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. 

WWE Photo
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. 

WWE Photo
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 Musician John Kiernan.

  WE'RE BACK LADIES, GENTLEMEN AND NB! Now, what did I miss from the several week hiatus?  *Scrolls down at the news feed* a billionaire said something stupid. Monday Night RAW is still duh and uninspired. Mass release of talent by WWE.  So……. Same old sh*t? Figures.  For those unaware (pretty much everybody), The 5 News Week is where I showcase 5 major or minor news of the week that I don't have the time to do separately.  Without further ado, here are the 5 News Week.  An Interview With Musician John Kiernan.  I kick things off with an interview from a guy that I'm hoping (as a musician) appreciates Brie Bella's theme song because my music tastes suck, musician John Kiernan.  If the name sounds familiar to you, it’s probably because you’re listening to a podcast that loves shouting out the names John “loose cannon” Lopez and ‘Beast Mode” Brock Joseph at the beginning.  Kiernan has composed and straight-up killed it in the pro wrestling musi...

WWE Backlash 2020 | A Coherent Review.

Overall, a decent PPV that was highlighted by a few good matches and one greatest match (yea, yea, the pun is worn out already but I just had to).  As a tradition on this site, I've not seen the pre-show match, however, I've heard it was solid.  Bayley And Sasha Banks vs Alexa Bliss And Nikki Cross vs The IIconics For The Women's Tag Team Championship.  A decent opening match of the evening. Peyton Royce did a unique crossbody onto every participant in the match.  Moments later, Royce and Billie Kay did their double team move on Sasha Banks but you know who also did a double team move?  Nikki Cross and Alexa Bliss with a double team DDT on Peyton Royce.  As soon as Bliss hits the Twisted Bliss on Peyton Royce, Sasha Banks quickly rolled Alexa up for the victory and retained dos straps.  The tag team championship reign of the golden role models continues (No sh*t, Omar). Also, I wanna briefly speak on the Alexa Bliss situation....

Jim Cornette's Opinion On WWE's Deal With FOX.

Jim Cornette recently appeared on Talk Is Jericho about the state of wrestling ( Click here to listen and download the whole thing, it's really good) and talked about a number of topics but the interesting thing about this discussion is his opinion on WWE's deal with FOX. Here's what he had to say (shout out to WrestleZone for the transcript):  " Vince just got $2 billion for a TV deal. People are looking at All In, the resurgence of New Japan, and all that, but that’s going to be the most important thing. Now people with platforms are interested in wrestling again.  There’s a lot of money in wrestling again. For a while ratings were meh, and they still are, but at the same point $2 billion, how can you argue with that? In 2011, when Sinclair Broadcasting bought Ring of Honor it instantly became the second most watched television program because it was on 60 local stations.  That was still a wide gap from WWE, and IMPACT has gone in the other direction becaus...
