The Coherent Wrestling Wednesdays: The Exalted One Arrives And A Certain Broken One Emerges.


This is the coherent wrestling Wednesdays where I usually give you my thoughts on NXT and AEW but since NXT was literally a highlight reel, I'm only going to talk about the latest edition of AEW Dynamite. So, how did TNT's only wrestling show do this week? 

 Going into this show, I was afraid of how this episode will turn out because unlike WWE, they don't have a huge library of matches to fill  2 hours of programming. 

 But after witnessing this show, AEW did a fantastic job of executing the episode with an empty crowd. They put WWE to shame on how to air a wrestling TV show with no crowd and this is coming from the resident WWE shill. 

Highlights. 

Cody And His Elite Buddies Address Their Match At Blood And Guts. 

The American nightmare starts off this episode of Dynamite in an empty area with a great promo about social distancing, Tony Khan his upcoming blood and guts match and his fellow Elite member, Nick Jackson. 

 Speaking of The Elite, out came the other half of The Young Bucks Matt Jackson and Kenny Omega and after Hangman Page showed up near the stage area, they wanted him to join them in the ring but that didn't happen. That was a great way to kick off Dynamite. Great stuff from the elite. 

MJF And Shawn Spears Were Grambling!? 


 I'm not an MJF fan nor am I a fan of Tye Dillinger's *coughed once*, I mean Shawn Spears' character in AEW but I thought them betting on each match of this episode was funny. Shout out to Tony Khan or anybody that came up with the betting idea. 

Best Friends vs Lucha Brothers. 

A solid match.  The usual Best Friends hug was turned into an elbow greeting which was great and so was this match. The Lucha Brothers win with a double team packaged piledriver into a stomp to Trent. 

 After a match in an interview with Tony Schiavone, Best Friends challenged Lucha Brothers to a rematch but this time in a street fight outside the arena. Should be a fun one. 

The Exalted One Arrives. 


 Evil Uno cuts a promo about how the exalted one will lighten the audience and Christopher Daniels came out from the crowd to say that there's no "exalted one". 

 Well, Daniels was wrong as the exalted one was revealed as former WWE's Luke Harper aka Brody Lee. Daniels and Frank Kazarian were then later attacked by Lee and his Dark Order. What a debut. 

 I'm glad AEW scooped up Brody Lee because he was literally the most underutilized talent in WWE ever since he left the Wyatt Family. He's also an underrated guy in the mic so I'm excited to see Lee in his new role as a leader. 

A Certain Broken One Emerges.


 By the end of the 6 man tag team match between The Elite and The Inner Circle, Page and Nick Jackson delivered a double Northern Lights suplex on Jake Hager and the two elite guys aimed for the indie taker finish but Hager prevented it. 

 Santana took that as an opportunity to pin Nick Jackson with a roll-up for the advantage in the upcoming match at Blood And Guts. 

 After that victory, Chris Jericho said that they in Inner Circle, will dominate in Blood And Guts. A certain drone landed inside the ring and Nick Jackson announced his 5th member in the cage match. 

 That member is none other than Matt freaking Hardy. Holy Moses splitting out the red sea, Matt Hardy is actually on AEW TV. 

 That return alone was better than RAW this week which by the way, you can click here to read my thoughts on Monday Night RAW. 

Some Other Things That Happened. 

Kris Statlander vs Hikaru Shida vs Penelope Ford vs Riho - A meh match. Hikaru Shida wins with a shining wizard to Penelope Ford. 

 The Butcher And The Blade vs Jurassic Express In Jungle Boy And Luchasaurus - This was a decent bout. The Jurassic Express won the match with a tombstone piledriver position from Luchasaurus into a cutter from Jungle Boy to The Blade. 

 Lance Archer Squashed A Bunch Of Guys In A Video Package - I've not seen a person squashing a crap ton of men since John Cena did it against the Nexus at SummerSlam 2010. 
The question is, what are some of the highlights on both episodes in your opinion? Let me know in the comments below and follow me on Twitter @omartheplayaguy. Anyways, 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...
