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.

THE Coherent AEW Take: I Ain't Tellin' You No Lie, The Hook Brings You Back

PAGE AND BRYAN! HOOK! HOOK! HOOK! PAGE AND BRYAN! HOOK! HOOK! HOOK!  That's it. That's the intro.  Rampage.   Highlights.  HOOOOOOOOK!  I mean, I gotta support the man himself named Hook, DUHHH!  What can I say, I like a man that is built different, quick, agile and hard……..in professional wrestling, of course.  Suffice to say, Hook does something that Kalya Braxton doesn't and that is, making all biracials proud.  FTR vs Lucha Brothers for the AEW world tag team championship Two of the best tag teams I've ever witnessed as a wrestling fan (yes, they're THAT darn good) battling it out in an opening match so banging, not even your Beats headphone can replicate it, ya feel me?  The Lucha Brothers get to walk out of this episode of Rampage still as the reigning world tag champs.  Some Other Things That Happened.  Adam Cole defeated Wheeler Yuta - Adam Cole appreciation comment.  Dynamite.  Highlights.  Hangman Page...

Escape The Undertaker | A Short Coherent Review.

The internet. The only place where your YouTube recommended is filled with "I DON'T EVEN KNOW THAT'S PG".  It is also home to Netflix which released an interactive movie produced by future Raspberry award-winning movie studio, WWE films. Look, the idea of 3 black dudes being trapped inside a house by a white conservative dead hog, is offensive and by that description alone, you weren't sure for a sec whether you were watching Netflix or the Daily Wire.  Luckily, there wasn't a cameo from Tessa Blanchard so you should be fine.  As a fan of Mass Effect 2, I love some dialogue trees that alter the events of a movie/game.  And, from a functionality standpoint, it is a technical marvel how it gives the audience the illusion of choice (you know, like our current economic system).  I say "illusion" because therein lies the main problem I have with the film. Your choices don't matter here. Even in a WWE movie, they're still trying to avoid the fan...

WWE Smackdown Live 11/9/18 | My Coherent Review.

Smackdown live was overall a good show. Why you ask? Well, I'm gonna tell you what's good, what's ok and what's bad. Here we go.  WHAT'S GOOD Jeff Hardy vs Shinsuke Nakamura The promo before this was okay however that was a goooood match. Better than their in counter at SummerSlam. Jeff was about to beat Nakamura, however, randy outta nowhere pushes hardy on the outside hence Nakamura retains the championship and Jeff wins via DQ. They had a brawl that was better than the brawl last night on RAW I'll tell you that much.  Samoa Joe telling a bedtime story in a good not boring way.   I thought from the editing to the design of the book to the way Samoa Joe express the story was fantastic. The thing I LOVE about this is that it's a outside in the box type of promo package that worked. Man, I can't wait for this match. On Sunday night when the PPV airs, I think I'm gonna call my local "WENDYYYS" (My goodness that was awfu...
