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.

WrestleFest DXB's Fahrenheit 971 | A Coherent W.

  Being a fan of pro wrestling (or any other medium of entertainment) does have its pros and cons when engaging with the industry as a whole.  On one hand, you've witnessed an Eddie Kingston promo that'll make you tear up more than the opening scene of Up.  On the other hand, going to the wrestling subreddit will definitely have you questioning humanity as a whole and the fact that living in an area where a wrestling presence pretty much doesn't exist like a Vince Russo-written storyline that is, you know, GOOD!?  Luckily, the latter retracted my con as a fan because I'm talking about Wrestlefest DXB and their latest joint, "971 Fahrenheit".  Martin Bushby of now Post Wrestling Alumni brought the event to my attention because like a wrestler on an episode of RAW I get distracted all the time.  So, I decided to take a short journey to a taxi then a bus then a train then a 30-minute walk to the show itself and I know I'm going to sound biased as f**k but I l...

WWE Smackdown 14/1/22 | A Coherent Review.

WOAH, WOOOOOAH *Insert drums* BURN IT DOWN *insert more drums* Don't know why I just quoted Seth Rollins' theme song. Probably because I'm bored and have nothing else better to do on a Saturday afternoon (which explains the Smackdown review).  Now, how was the show? It was aight.  The Viking Raiders vs Angel And Humberto Carrillo vs Jinder Mahal And Shank vs Mansoor And Cesaro. Winner Gets A Blue Tag Belt Opportunity.  The best part about all of this was The Usos introduction of all 4 members. Gotta say, they're pretty natural at this and wouldn't mind them doing ring announcing full time.  The only thing they should avoid is threatening somebody with WWE lawyers.  The Viking Raiders won the whole thing and all I can say is, finally! No more Viking Raiders vs Happy Corbin and Madcap Moss matches.  Why WWE Be Messing With Sami Like That!?  That "InZayn" stunt show is sad to watch. He should've been doing so much better than trying to do knockoff Jacka**...

The 5 News Week: Bret Hart. The Next Guest On Stone Cold's Broken Skull Sessions?, WWE Made How Much From YouTube!?

We're back. Well, I'm back given that I do this all by myself but in any case, The 5 News Week has returned to your feeds wherever ever it may be. In case you're new here, basically, in one article I share the 5 major or minor news of the week. Now, there were a lot of news that I've missed in 3 weeks including a story of a WWE shareholder suing WWE and Vince McMahon (how the hell didn't I report about this?).  I'm rambling on so without further useless explanations, here are the 5 News Week.  Bret Hart. The Next Guest On Stone Cold's Broken Skull Sessions? Steve Austin has interviewed some of the wrestlers he has faced over the years on his Broken Skull Sessions show with the exception of Goldberg other than a few stare downs in a feud that everyone wishes to forget.  Another person that is no stranger to the rattlesnake is the hitman himself Bret Hart and he's reportedly the next guest. From PWInsider and Mike Johnson, Bret was in the City ...
