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.

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...
