AEW Thursday Night Dynamite | A Bit Late Coherent Review.

AEW Dynamite Results: Winners, Grades, Reaction and Highlights from August  27 | Bleacher Report | Latest News, Videos and Highlights

Fridays are my day off and while this is my hobby, I treat this site as work given the articles I put out and the amount of research that goes into those articles. 

With that being said, what do I think about AEW Dynamite Thursday edition? 

It wasn't as good as the Saturday episode however, it was at least somewhat tolerable to watch. 

In other words, it was okay. 

A Tag Team Gauntlet Match To Determine The Number One Contenders For The AEW World Tag Team Championship. 

Look, I see the fans not practising social distancing despite wearing masks. 

However, I would be lying if I didn't get a kick out of the fans singing Chris Jericho's theme song again. 

Anywho, the entire thing was solid. 

The Young Bucks got rid of Dusty Rhodes and QT Marshall but they can't get rid of Best Friends due to one man, Hangman Adam Page. 

The possible falling out of the elite is something I gotta keep an eye on. 

I'm curious as to where this leads. 

Sticking to the gauntlet match again, FTR were next to face Best Friends and it was probably the best part about this bout. 

Just some good old fashioned technical wrasslin.

FTR made Chuck Taylor of Best Friends submit with a kneebar which means that they are your new number one contenders for the tag team championship. 

The only critique I have for this is that the number of tag teams in this gauntlet match is really and I mean really short. 

Lance Archer vs Sean Maluta. 

Hey look, it's Sean Maluta. I haven't seen the guy since that 2018 NXT episode where he lost to Adam Cole (well, that was specific). 

Archer squashed the guy to which Jake Roberts cut a promo about how Archer will walk out that casino battle royal at All Out number one contender for that big AEW belt. 

Taz and his clients in Ricky Starks and Brian Cage or as Jake Roberts called, "the flintstones" came out to tell Roberts and the murder hawk that either of Taz's guys will win that casino battle royal.  

Out came Darby Allin and he fought with Ricky Starks while both Brian Cage and Lance Archer had a staredown. Cool. 

Jon Moxley vs MJF For The AEW World Championship Contract Signing. 

Isn't it kinda odd that the women's championship match contract between Hikaru Shida and Thunder Rosa at All Out got maybe a minute of screen time while this one got a lot more than that? 

Don't get it twisted, I'm looking forward to the women's title match. 

It's just that I wish the feud would've gotten a better build. 

So. MJF made fun of Jon Moxley's hairline but Moxley's response was absolutely funny telling him that he'll get there once Maxwell hits puberty. 

I really like this segment. 

Both guys nailed it with their promos and that's coming from a non-MJF fan. 

Oh, and Moxley is going to face MJF's lawyer in a match next week so this should be unique to witness. 

The Lucha Brothers, Butcher And The Blade vs Joey Janela, Sonny Kiss, Brian Pillman Jr And Griff Garrison. 

This was aight. The shirt that Eddie Kingston wore? Fantastic. 

The bad guys won the match. Anything Eddie Kingston I will watch. 

The Dark Order Celebrates Their Leader's TNT Championship Victory. 

Mr Brodie Lee says that the Nightmare family are buried and now it's the era of the Dark Order. 

Dusty Rhodes and QT Marshall came out to fight with The Dark Order but the numbers game were stacked against them. 

Until Matt Cordona showed up and evened the odds. Damn, Matt is jacked af.  

Hangman Page is kicked out of the elite. Not surprising. 

Big Swole vs Penelope Ford And Rebel. 

During the match, Britt Baker used the leg crutch to hit on Big Swole without the ref's knowledge. 

Swole won the match due to the crutch that Rebel used on Penelope Ford. Cool. 

It looks like Tay Conti is joining the Dark Order? Hmm. 

Sammy Guevara vs Matt Hardy In A Tables Match. 

The young guy won the match with a superplex through a table and a chair.

But then, Orange Cassidy attacked Chris Jericho from behind while he was on commentary that led to a brawl. 

Nothing screams an ending to an AEW Dynamite episode than a brawl, am I right? 

So, to recap for all of you slow mofos.

Like: Jox Moxley and MJF contract signing, some moments of the tag team gauntlet match. 

Didn't like: Wished for a better build for the women's championship at All Out, the number of tag teams in the gauntlet match were short.

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
