AEW Saturday Night Dynamite | A Coherent Review.

AEW Dynamite live blog (Aug. 22, 2020): Cody vs. Brodie Lee ...

I was excited about writing this recap because this is the first time that I've reviewed AEW Dynamite separately. 

The question is, is AEW's counter-programming with NXT Takeover 30 worth it? 

In terms of quality, I wouldn't say that it's on the level of a freaking Takeover (at least the previous ones) but it was a great show though. 

Side note, the NXT Takeover 30 review will be up several hours later. 

In case when it is already up, click here to read the whole thing. 

FTR vs Private Party. 

The show kicked off with this tag team bout but with no entrances. The match itself was fun as hell. 

Isiah Kassidy did a springboard stunner on Cash Wheeler which led to a crossbody from Marq Quen on to Dax Harwood. 

The match ended with the shatter machine aka the good night empress to Quen and won the match.  Again, a fun match. 

In a backstage promo, Moxley says that what MJF has said about Moxley doesn't bother the guy. 

The champ questions Maxwell whether he's really that good. 

As far as MJF's response, Maxwell Jacob Friedman is so good on the mic that he can't speak because he had his campaign manager basically hyping up the MJF campaign. 

That was a fantastic promo, by the way. This is the most I've been interested in Jon Moxley's run as world champion since Brodie Lee. 

Jurassic Express And Natural Nightmare vs The Lucha Brothers, Butcher And The Blade. 

This was okay.  The good guys won the match with a pin from Jungle Boy to Blade. Their loss was due to some disagreement from the heel team.

Eddie Kingston showed up from outta nowhere shouting at the Lucha Brothers as well as The BB that they should be tag team champions and how they should join him to get to championship glory. 

YEEEEEEAAAS! I am ALL IN for an Eddie Kingston managerial role. 

The Vivian herself, Britt Baker gave Kip Sabian and Penelope Ford free dental care and free makeup if they took care of Big Swole. Cool. 

Orange Cassidy vs Chris Jericho Announcement For All Out………..In A Mimosa Mayhem Match? 

This entire beatdown from Inner Circle to Best Friends was, of course, to further build a mimosa mayhem match on September 5th.

This is the most WWE idea of a gimmick match. It's so goofy. 

I'm actually tapped out of this rivalry. It was good for a few weeks but it is getting really old really quick. 

Kenny Omega And The Young Bucks vs Dark Order's 3, 4 And 5. 

An exciting tag team encounter. The Young Bucks did an impressive tag team manoeuvre with a bulldog followed by a dropkick. 

Another impressive thing I've seen in this match was a pinning combination on Kenny Omega. 

Omega ended the match with the one-winged angel that picked up the victory for his team. 

After that, The Young Bucks stopped Omega from inflicting more damage on one of the Dark Order members. This is interesting. 

The roster has a notable amount of heels so I don't know if the eventual heel turn will be worth it in the end. But that's just me. 

FTR had a verbal interaction with Hangman Page after Tully Blanchard told Alex Marvez that FTR will walk out the tag team gauntlet number one contenders match THE guys to face Page and Omega for the tag belts. 

God, I hope FTR wins that multi-man match. The idea of an FTR vs Hangman Page and Kenny Omega screams excitement. 

Darby Allin Won His Match Against Will Hobbs And Then……...

Allin got a bit of a surprise from Taz and that is a Darby Allin imposter played by Ricky Starks which is a good impression by the way. 

The strange enigma was then attacked from both Brian Cage and Ricky Starks. Starks is a God damn star. 

So. Matt Hardy attacked Sammy Guevara with a steel chair. 

You had Jim Ross saying that he has never seen an intense Matt Hardy and I'm like, you weren't there when Matt Hardy wanted to kayfabe wise, kill Edge back in 05? 

Thunder Rosa says that she's here in AEW to become women's champion. Decent promo.  

Ivelisse And Diamante vs The Nightmare Sisters In Allie And Brandi Rhodes. AEW Women's Tag Team Cup Finals.




I have not seen the entire tournament but I will say based on seeing the finals, Veda Scott is excellent on commentary. 

I want to see more of her in the broadcast team. Oh, and the storytelling from her is A f'ing 1. 

This was surprisingly a decent in-ring action. The team of Ivelisse and Diamante won the entire tournament with a kick on to Allie from Ivelisse. 

Cody vs Mr Brodie Lee For The AEW TNT Championship. 

Brodie Lee was booked like a monster in this bout. 

That offence actually benefited him because he has just become the new TNT champion with the discus clothesline. 

He then cut a promo saying that nobody believes in him and now he's a champion. 

The Dark Order attacks Arn Anderson as well as an unconscious Cody.

Brandi Rhodes rushed to check on her husband to which she was actually attacked by its new member of Dark Order, Anna Jay. 


Will see how Brodie Lee does with the belt. It is unfortunate that Cody's reign has ended because I for one, enjoyed his run as champion. 

It was probably one of the best inaugural champions in recent memory if I'm being honest. 

So, to recap for all of you slow mofos: 

Like: FTR vs Private Party, Kenny Omega and Young Bucks vs Dark Order's 3, 4 And 5, the MJF campaign filmed segment, Eddie Kingston as a manager, Veda Scott on commentary for the AEW Women's tag team cup. 

Didn't like: Orange Cassidy vs Chris Jericho again?

My Coherent Predictions On: Money In The Bank 2018

Money in the bank has THE WORST buildup of 2018 so far (at least on the RAW side). Is it going to be worst than RAW this past few weeks or possibly backlash?  Will find out this Sunday but anyways on with the predictions Sami Zayn vs Bobby Lashley What can I say about this feud? ● No meaning behind it. ● No meaning behind it. ● And why's Bobby Lashley promo last night sounds like bubbles from powerpuff  or something? Nevertheless, It's a shame that both lashley and zayn are given a shitstorm of a storyline considering that their better than this. WINNER : Bobby Lashley. Bludgeon Brothers vs Luke Gallows And Karl Anderson WOW! Another match I don't give two fucks about. However if they want to make the show intriguing and unpredictable then I'll put the belts on....   WINNER: Gallows and Anderson. Big Cass vs Daniel Bryan. WWE made the right call in my opinion on moving big Cass to smackdown because he...

WWE Survivor Series 2019 | My Coherent Review.

The Survivor Series shows as of a few years has gotten better in terms of overall positives and I thought that this year will be no exception. It pains me to say this but the 2019 edition of Survivor Series was just okay. A few highlights but overall, not an offensive 3 ½ hours of wrestling to watch, to say the least. Oh, and I haven't seen the pre-show matches so I can't talk about it.  Team RAW In Kabuki Warriors, Charlotte Flair, Natalya And Sarah Logan vs Team Smackdown In Nikki Cross, Dana Brooke, Sasha Banks, Lacey Evans And Sasha Banks vs Team NXT In Rhea Ripley, Bianca Belair, Candice LeRae, Io Shirai And Toni Storm. Women's Survivor Series Match.  Io Shirai and Kairi Sane delivered some quick moves earlier in the match. Brooke delivered an impressive rolling Senton to Shirai. Given that LeRae and Io were hurt, they were both eliminated. Bianca Belair got rid of two women.  One, it was Nikki Cross with a roll-up and the other was Sarah Logan with a 450...

WWE NXT 24/4/19 | My Coherent Review.

This was a meh episode of NXT. If this is the first time that somebody watches NXT with this episode then you'll have a hard time convincing that particular person to watch another episode you know what I mean?  The Forgotten Sons’ Jaxson Ryker vs Humberto Carrillo.  I don't watch 205 live but I'm loving every time Humberto wrestles. The match ended in a double count out because Ryker was beating the crap out of Carrillo until Danny Burch and Oney Lorcan showed up to save the young luchador. Not a fan of the Forgotten Sons but this feud for some reason made me wanna watch those two teams fight and I don't know why exactly.  After that, Adam Cole was asked backstage in a photo shoot about the Roderick Strong vs Johnny Gargano match until Matt Riddle showed up and said that it's his turn which led to Adam Cole leaving the shoot.  Aliyah and Vanessa Bourne vs Candice LeRae and Kacy Catanzaro.  This was okay. The team of Candice LeRae and Kacy Cat...
