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.

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: What's With The Story Of WWE Will Possibly Put Their Content On A Different OTT?

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.  This past week was filled with news so  fasten your virtual seat belts because this is gonna be a long one. Without further ado, here are The 5 News Week.  What's With The Story That WWE Will Possibly Put Their Content On A Different OTT?  This confusion all started when some fans (including myself) saw the headline from a well-respected publication "WWE In Talks Talks to Sell PPV Rights to Another ‘Major’ Streaming Service." That publication is The Wrap and the article pretty much talked about what Vinne Mac said in the Q4 2019 earnings report about the possibility of putting their content to a major streaming service or enhance the prize point to a tiered payment but the deal to quote The Wrap " if made — would be announced by next month.". Did the old man say this? Let...

WWE RAW 10/8/20 | A Coherent Review.

This episode when it's good, it is REALLY good but when it's awful, it is REALLY awful. A mixed bag of a show, to be honest. pictures via WWE.com Two Contract Signings? For the first time at least in my lifetime, there are two contract signing for the same one match. Anywho, it's for the Seth Rollins and Dominik Mysterio match and Samoa Joe is the moderator which by the way, he's the best one yet. Based on Seth's promo telling Mysterio's Hijo that he can use a kendo stick or anything in the toolbox, it sounds like it's a no DQ match. The best part about this engaging segment by far is Joe's promo about how Seth Rollins was a different man ever since the fans booed him. Dominik's line quote, "Seth Rollins' actions change the lives of good men for the worst" pretty much describes Seth's heel run so far and I love it. That led to a match between Humberto Carrillo and Rollins. The match was quick af. Af...

WWE RAW 7/1/19 | My Coherent Review

My first RAW review of 2019 and surprisingly, this show was decent. Now, would RAW put on decent shows in the coming weeks or months? Probably not but I hope that's the case. Now, usually on my RAW and Smackdown Live reviews, I give my thoughts on what's good, what's ok and what bad ( click here if you curious as to how the format looks like). However, since this is the new year, I'm gonna get rid of that and instead just put my in-depth thoughts just like my PPV reviews. Without further ado, on with the review.  Opening Segment The show itself started off with a brawl between Seth Rollins and Bobby Lashley that lasted for a very short period of time. After that’s done, the opening segment started with John Cena and cuts a promo on how he’s gonna earn his golden ticket to Wrestlemania by entering in this year’s Royal Rumble match.  Out came Drew McIntyre and he said that Cena’s accomplishments is what Drew cares about. He then went on how he’s b...
