The Coherent Wrestling Wednesdays: Dakota Kai Enters The Number One Contender's Ladder Match, Yet Another Brodie Lee Segment With An Obvious Vince McMahon Reference

Happy April 1st or 2nd I should say. I don't have a clever April fools joke because one, I'm lame and two, not the appropriate time. 

Anyways, how do I feel about both shows and which show was the best this week? Both shows this week were okay. If I had to give a score (which I never do) then I'll give it NXT and Dynamite a 6.5/10. 

NXT  

Highlights.

Second Chance Gauntlet Match With The Winner Entering The Number One Contender's Ladder Match For The NXT Women's Championship Next Week.

A Gauntlet match? How 2019 of you, NXT (sarcasm of course but with what's going on right now, I wish this was the year 2019).  Shotzi Blackheart took out Deonna Parrazo, Xia Li, Aliyah and Kayden Carter. 

Thanks to Raquel Gonzalez's interference, Dakota Kai hits the go to kick and advances in the ladder match.

The best aspect of a Gauntlet match is that it highlights a particular wrestler that hasn't been showcased anywhere else and Blackheart is a great example of that. I'm all for elevating new stars so I have no problems for Shotzi's performance. 

Some Other Things That Happened. 

Velveteen Dream vs Bobby Fish - My God, can Velveteen Dream sell his a** off. Dream wins with the Dream valley driver. The winner of the opening match then grabbed the mic warning Adam Cole that he will get worked harder than ever courtesy of the Velveteen Dream. 

Dexter Lumis vs Jake Atlas - Ever since I saw Dexter on the breakout tournament, I was intrigued to see him again due to his slow, chilling presence in his persona and he brought that again this week. 

With the right direction and writing, he's definitely going places. Lumis defeats Atlas with a modified sleeper hold. 

Kushida vs Joaquin Wilde - A meh match. Kushida wins with the armbar. After Joaquin had a short interview outside the performance centre, a bunch of guys with Luchador masks forced Wilde to enter the car. 

Ya know, after Raul Mendoza lost the match to Kushida, he was also captured by those guys. Hmmm.   

Keith Lee vs Damian Priest vs Dominic Djakovic - A solid match actually. Lee retained his championship with his modified jackhammer on Djakovic. 

AEW 

Highlights.

Kenny Omega vs Trent. 

A prettay, prettay, prettay good match. One-half of the tag team champions, Kenny Omega wins with the one-winged angel. 

Cody on commentary was on point in that this match is a main event level fight in any other show. What a superb match. AEW's tag team division continues to be a must witness pertaining match quality. 

Some Other Things That Happened. 

Hikaru Shida vs Anna Jay - Shida wins with a falcon arrow. It was aight. 

Lance Archer vs Marko Stunt - Before the match, Jake Roberts cuts a promo about how Lance Archer will destroy anybody and insults Cody saying "I'm pretty sure she wears the pants". 

The Snake still delivers great promos like it's the 1980s. A squash win for Archer and he looked amazing as a result. 

Yet Another Brodie Lee Segment With An Obvious Vince McMahon Reference - This segment aired on a meeting that looks like a creative team meeting. 

Lee told his dark follower to stand next to Brodie and that follower replied by calling Brodie Lee "Mr Lee" and "The Exalted One" to which Brodie Lee reacted to that furiously, telling him to only call him Brodie. 

One of the masked men yawned and The Exalted One (my bad, I meant Brodie), said to him that yawning is for the weak and there's no reason to be exhausted. 

I don't mind a few Vince McMahon references in these segments but there are so much of Vince references in it that it's getting way too much to digest. 

I wanted to like this but the amount of winks to the eye is honestly tiresome. You know AEW can build a crazy cult leader without those references right? 

Dark Order vs The Natural Nightmares In Dustin Rhodes And QT Marshall - Rhodes and Marshall take the W in this tag team match with a double team manoeuvre powerbomb position into a cutter. Another okay match. 

Vanguard 1 Spies On Chris Jericho - Chris was trash-talking about The Elite including Matt Hardy while chilling on the jacuzzi. He then saw Vanguard and proceeded to compliment the drone but Vanguard escaped with an Inner Circle shirt. Decent segment. 

Cody And Darby Allin vs Sammy Guevara And Shawn Spears - A non-offensive main event of the episode. The heel team wins with a roll-up from Spears to Allin that led to a right hand on Cody. Wow, I didn't expect that ending. 


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 Survivor Series 2018 | My Coherent Review.

Hello, my fellow wrestling fans reading this and welcome to my coherent review for Survivor Series 2018. Overall, it was a very entertaining show throughout with some minor issues and here's why.  (KICK OFF SHOW) Tag team Survivor Series match  This match was a great example of a skippable match until the last moments.  Xavier Woods did the springboard elbow drop and both members of The Revival countered that into a shatter machine which look amazing.  Minutes later, Scott Dawson hit a superplex to Jimmy Uso and an immediate frog splash from Dash Wilder to a near fall.  After that, Both Usos hit a superkick to Dash followed by a Uso splash and just like that, the Smackdown team took the W which WWE wants to forget about that (so stupid). A decent match but with a boring start in my opinion.  (MAIN SHOW) Women’s Survivor Series match  Before the match started when Nia Jax’s music hit, she got volcanic heat from the Los Ang...

WWE Smackdown 20/8/21 | A Coherent Review.

  That CM Punk return was so noteworthy, it blew this entire episode out of the water. That’s it. That’s the opening statement.  Images via WWE.com   Edge Wasn't Playing When He Said That He'll Put Seth Into Darkness.  The show started off with the Rated R superstar saying that Rollins has made the guy find his heart when the blood runs black.  In other words, he'll beat the shit out of Rollins at slamming of summer.  Speaking of "the blood runs black", after Seth Rollins gave a speech on how he can't be on Sethy's level, the man that says "drip" more times than a white dude that streams on Twitch, was covered in black liquid following Gangrel's theme song playing in the background.  Edge ain't f**king around. I appreciated the uniqueness of the segment and how it was a tribute to WWE's continuity (which if you've been watching WWE for a longer period of time then you'll know that WWE acknowledging their storytelling cohesion ...

Netflix's The Main Event | A Coherent Review.

Last spring, WWE had announced that they've partnered with Netflix to create content via their movie division on the streaming service. In other words, Netflix decided to feature even more badly marketed and awfully made movies. Luckily, WWE's latest joint isn't that bad at all. Don't get me wrong, it's no " Marriage Story " but, it does pull off a capable effort of telling a story about being yourself (warning, this   review contains a few minor spoilers).  The premise of this movie goes like this. An 11-year-old wrestling fan named Leo (played by Seth Carr) finds a luchador mask that gives him superhuman strength and agility. He then applied his new-found powers to in-ring action where he competes in a $50,000 WWE NXT tournament.  If it sounds familiar, that is because it's pretty much the premise of the film " Like Mike " with obvious differences like this movie is wrestling themed instead of basketball, it stars an 11-yea...
