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.

WWE Smackdown Live 28/8/18 | My Coherent Review.

Overall, Smackdown Live was better than RAW in terms of having a somewhat good ending. Why you ask? Well, I'm gonna give you what's good, what's ok and the bad parts about this show were none in my opinion. Without further ado, this is my coherent, honest review of this week's Smackdown Live. WHAT'S GOOD New day's celebration You have the new day celebration with their interaction with booker T and the addition of the spinaroonie or the spinaroonie, in this case, was entertaining and an odd but amusing opening segment. Daniel Bryan vs Andrade "Cien" almas Daniel Bryan's promo with Brie Bella by his side was like the Naomi vs Billie Kay match, it was there. However, the match itself was pretty good in my opinion. That chop by almas looked brutal bro like damn. Daniel Bryan wins Via DQ by miz beating him, almas hitting the hammerlock DDT, Maryse hitting a brutal looking DDT to brie bella and then miz hitting the skull cru

WWE Smackdown 14/2/20 | My Coherent Review.

Last night was my 2nd anniversary of pumping out written content on this site and I thought since this show has delivered 6 or sometimes 3 out of 10s for 4 months now, I've written some lyrics about my thoughts on Smackdown in the style of the current song opening for the blue brand. If you wanna put the instrumental version of ACDC's Are You Ready while reading this then that's cool too. *Cue the intro* Are you Ready? Are you ready for mediocrity! Then, get ready for disappointment. No one needs it. No one needs it. No one needs it. Even Bischoff. Are you ready for mediocrity! *ends with some guitar solos*. The lyrics may suck but it is at least better than whatever the hell Justin Bieber meant when he sang his current single "Yummy". Now, on with the review. The Return Of A Moment Of Bliss (Unlike The Return Of The Dirt Sheets, Nobody Really Cares). Both Bliss and Nikki Cross talked about their c

WWE RAW 6/7/20 | A Coherent Review.

This episode of RAW actually made me look forward to Extreme Rules and that's something WWE doesn't do all that well in recent years. It was a great effort by the powers that be. Dolph Ziggler Picks The Stipulation For The WWE Championship At Extreme Rules: The Horror Show. McIntyre is waiting for Dolph Ziggler to pick the stipulation for their championship match at Extreme Rules. Drew got his wish as Dolph Ziggler said that Drew has been stabbing people in the back and that includes the person that Ziggler brought up but not verbally, Heath Slater. In a very emotional promo, Slater told his former 3MB mate that he was there for Drew McIntyre when Drew was fired from WWE in 2014 but the Scotsmen wasn't there for Slater when he was fired this year. So, the one-man-band challenged him to a match and the WWE champion accepted. How was the match? It was a squash bout. Drew wins with the claymore to which Ziggler was picking on Heath and Mc
