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 NXT Takeover: XXV | My Coherent Review.

Look guys, I don't need to tell you this. This was a great show. Now, you're probably be asking "if you don't need to tell me this then why are you to quote yourself, TELLING ME THIS!?" Good question but the reason why is because I like to talk about great pro wrestling.  Matt Riddle vs Roderick Strong.  An absolute must rewatch match for me and a must watch for you guys if you haven't seen it. Match started off with some amateur wrestling style takedown from both guys.  Then, Roderick Strong hit a modified back suplex on the ring apron. By then, Riddle hits Strong with a brainbuster. Riddle had the highlight of that match by hitting Strong with a go to sleep (yes, that go to sleep) into a German suplex with a bridge.  Roderick hits a powerbomb pin into a Boston crab then the match ends with Riddle delivered with a move that I wish I knew what the name of it was.  Street Profits vs The Forgotten Sons (in Steve Cutler and Wesley Blake) vs The Undi...

WWE Wrestlemania 26 | A Coherent Review.

I've teased a mystery review on my Facebook page (which you can click here to follow us) and that mystery has now been unveiled. It's Wrestlemania 26. This review was delayed and was supposed to be up last Monday but at least is now up. Also, The first draft of this review was 7 pages long so strap in. By far, the longest review on this very website.  I thought it would be fitting to review a Wrestlemania from a decade back and how do I feel about it? It was a show that if you watched it, you're most likely going to have a good time. It was a mix of great things but terrible things at the same time as most shows.  The 26th edition of Wrestlemania took place in the University of Phoenix Stadium in the Phoenix suburb of Glendale, Arizona on March 28th, 2010.  The commentators were Micheal Cole, Jerry Lawler and Matt Striker. Honestly, Striker was pretty good and a far better colour commentator than Lawler was on this show (even today, Lawler is still bleh on commen...

A Guide On How To Improve Wrestling Criticism.

Now, before you all verbally eat me alive like a hippopotamus (yes hippos eat humans, look that up), understand that I’m just an average dude writing about pro wrestling and doesn’t claim to be an expert in anything and that includes professional wrestling (except cooking. I’m damn good at cooking).  However, what I’ve been discovering as a pro wrestling blogger for over a year is that there are some wrestling criticism out there that just make me wanna scratch my head to the point where my hands turn into an electric shaver if that makes sense. For instance, “Why is Ricochet’s trunks red instead of white?” or “Why’s Andrade wearing his Luchador mask for his entrance every week?”  In other words, they’re nitpicking and trust me I do that ALL THE TIME in my wrestling reviews. There’s nothing wrong with nitpicking certain things but the difference is that I acknowledge that I’m nitpicking and those guys clearly don’t.  There are fans out there on the interweb that b...
