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 RAW 7/1/19 | My Coherent Review

My first RAW review of 2019 and surprisingly, this show was decent. Now, would RAW put on decent shows in the coming weeks or months? Probably not but I hope that's the case. Now, usually on my RAW and Smackdown Live reviews, I give my thoughts on what's good, what's ok and what bad ( click here if you curious as to how the format looks like). However, since this is the new year, I'm gonna get rid of that and instead just put my in-depth thoughts just like my PPV reviews. Without further ado, on with the review.  Opening Segment The show itself started off with a brawl between Seth Rollins and Bobby Lashley that lasted for a very short period of time. After that’s done, the opening segment started with John Cena and cuts a promo on how he’s gonna earn his golden ticket to Wrestlemania by entering in this year’s Royal Rumble match.  Out came Drew McIntyre and he said that Cena’s accomplishments is what Drew cares about. He then went on how he’s b...

The 5 News Week: The Current Plan For Eva Marie According To Reports.

Hello, my fellow wrestling fans and welcome to the 5 news week. The post where I report 5 major or minor pro wrestling news, rumours and spoilers of the week that I don't have time to do it separately.  Without further ado, here are the 5 news week.  What’s Going On With The ShowBuzz Daily Website!? Dave Meltzer on the Wrestling Observer has expressed concern regarding Showbuzz Daily not posting the daily TV rating due to technical issues stating (from Cagesideseats ) "all wrestling companies, TV companies, sports stations, etc. looked to that site for numbers.” The owner of the Showbuzz Daily entity, Mitch Metcalf, took to the blue hell that is Twitter and said that they can't add content to the site anymore over a shutdown that isn't clear as to what caused the shutdown itself.  Metcalf went on to highlight that due to operating the site without generating revenue, the cost and time to bring back the site has made him think about the future of ShowBuzz Daily.  Is...

WWE Super Showdown 2020 | My Coherent Review.

Super showdown 2020 was dull, boring and even frustrating at times. The two previous Saudi shows from last year were surprisingly okay but this was just a flavourless taste in my mouth and this is coming from the resident WWE shill. By far, the worst PPV of 2020 so far.  PRESHOW: The Viking Raiders vs The O.C. In Luke Gallows And Karl Anderson.  A skippable match that we've seen for the gazillionth time. Yay for unwanted repetition! The O.C wins. Cool.  MAIN-SHOW: AJ Styles vs. Andrade vs. Bobby Lashley vs. Erick Rowan vs. R-Truth vs. Rey Mysterio. Gauntlet Match for the Tuwaiq Trophy.  R Truth and Bobby Lashley started off this match and Truth wins via a roll-up. Lashley then attacks R Truth (like we've not seen that spot before) to which out came the second opponent of the night, the returning Andrade and the way that encounter ended was odd yet somehow not horrible.  Both men hit each other with their heads and Truth pins the guy to keep fight...
