WWE NXT Super Tuesday 2 | A Coherent Review

NXT Super Tuesday II | WWE

Apologies for missing NXT Super Tuesday numbra Uno. I had a bad anxiety attack. But, don't worry, I'm doing well now. 

How was NXT Super Tuesday 2? I enjoyed it. It is that simple.

Finn Balor vs Adam Cole For The Vacant NXT Championship.

Yes, the big main event encounter like this NXT championship match just opened the show. 

Nevertheless, it was a fun match. Cole at point, did a quick but impressive shining wizard. 

The match concluded with 1916 from the top rope and the prince is the third ever superstar to win the NXT title twice.

Balor was the right person to win the championship simply because Adam Cole had a 300+ day reign as champ. 

I think it's time for someone else to be known as THE NXT champion. 

After the match, Adam Cole congratulated Finn with the two sweet hand gesture. 

Babyface Adam Cole? Thumbs up. 

Shotzi Blackheart And Io Shirai Beat up Both Robert Stone And Aliyah.

Like the title above, they did just that until Shotzi gave the "I want an NXT title shot" face to Io Shirai. 

We are getting a match between Io and Shotzi next week so this should be fun. 

Candice LeRae invited Tegan Nox to her and Johnny Gargano's house for dinner to repair their friendship. 

However, later in the night, the dinner turned into a disaster as soon as Nox brought up the time she showed up in Mia Yim's place. 

Cool. 

Meanwhile, Timothy Thatcher was disgusted regarding Damian Priest as NXT North American champion. Decent promo. 

*ugh* Velveteen Dream vs Local Competitor. 

WWE Photo

Dream won the match (obviously because he defeated a local competitor) to which Kushida beat the sh*t out of Velveteen Dream. 

YES! YES! YES! YES! YES! YES! 

I like this side of Kushida already. 

In a backstage promo, Breezango were happy that they'll beat "Imporium" again for the NXT tag team championship. 

That tag team division is straight garbage which is odd because that wasn't the case even a year and a half ago. 

Bronson Reed vs *ugh* Austin Theory. 

WWE Photo

This was aight. The big man defeated Austin with the splash. 

Roderick Strong vs Killian Dain. 

WWE Photo

Strong picked up the victory with a knee strike due to some outside assistance by Bobby Fish. 

Both members of UE tried to beat up Killian Dain until Drake Maverick came to the rescue.

Drake wanted to shake Dain's hand in gratitude for saving him but Dain hit the guy anyway. 

It was fine although I do appreciate the fact that Dain is still maintaining his heel presence despite the fact that he's teaming up with a babyface to fight the heels. 

Rhea Ripley vs Mercedes Martinez In A Steel Cage. 

WWE Photo

I've been critical about this feud and Rhea's recent booking but the match was great not gonna lie. 

Pun intended the bout was nothing more than brutality. 

Ripley walked out of the steel cage the winner with the Riptide through the table from the top rope which was a great finish.

Rhea has been losing some matches as of late so this was a suitable outcome. 

She hasn't looked that great in MONTHS. I'm happy to see that. 

So, to recap for all of you slow mofos

Like: The steel cage match, the NXT title match, Kushida's aggressive side, Dain maintaining his heel persona even though he's teaming with a face. 

Didn't like: Probably the fact NXT’s tag team division is horrendous.

WWE Extreme Rules 2019 | My Coherent Review.

Man, I'm impressed with WWE in terms of PPVs as of late because overall, this was a fantastic show in my opinion with great matches but the crowd was dead for most of the show so that sucks.  I finally watched the pre-show match between Finn Balor and Shinsuke Nakamura before I went to bed because the show aired at 2 am where I live and it was okay.  By the way, how interesting is it when on last year’s Extreme Rules show, Shinsuke Nakamura won the United States championship and now this year’s show, he won the intercontinental title. Also, it's funny that the intercontinental championship was the main event on last's year show and on this year's Extreme Rules PPV, it's on the preshow.  Shane McMahon and Drew McIntyre vs Roman Reigns and The Undertaker.  Mike Rome did better in announcing "The Best In the world" this time than on RAW. Mike Rome's announcement a few weeks ago sounded like that one friend that thinks he/she knows how to ...

NXT Takeover: In Your House 2020 | A Coherent Review.

NXT Takeover: In Your House is like the rest of the Takeover shows, a fantastic 2 hours of professional wrestling.  What makes this show special is the additional nostalgia like how the show started with the NXT WWF inspired intro, the ice cream commercial narrated by William Regal doing his best Lord Alferd Hayes impression, icopro commercial and last but not least, Todd Pettengill.  This is a show that I'm definitely rewatching in years to come.  Mia Yim, Tegan Nox And Shotzi Blackheart vs Raquel Gonzalez, Candice LeRae And Dakota Kai.  A decent opening match. During the match, Nox did a Molly Holly top rope on to every competitor in the match.  Yim tried to give LeRae some Seoul Food but LeRae reversed that into a suplex. Several minutes later, Shotzi did a Salida Del Sol of some sort on Gonzalez to which Nox delivered the shiniest wizard on Kai and won the match.  Finn Balor vs Damian Priest. I actually thought that the closing mo...

The Coherent Wrestling Wednesdays: Holy Sh*t, The Revival Are All Elite, Matt Riddle vs Timothy Thatcher In A Unique Steel Cage Match.

Both shows had its weak points but overall, that was an enjoyable 4 hours of professional wrestling television. I personally liked AEW Dynamite this week.  From an awesome women's match with Shida and Christi Jaynes to The Revival showing up, AEW managed to give me a solid episode and successfully furthered their storylines to next week's exciting show.  NXT   Highlights (at least in my opinion because wrestling is subjective).  Kushida vs Drake Maverick vs Jake Atlas. Triple Threat Match Interim Cruiserweight Championship Tournament.  What a way to kick off this episode of NXT, am I right? Atlas delivered the rainbow DDT but Kushida broke Jake's pin.  Speaking of Kushida, he nailed the armbar submission, however, Drake pinned Atlas because Atlas' shoulders were on the mat and will meet El Hijo Del Fantasma for the finals next week.  I don't know if Drake is rehired or he's going to be rehired but Maverick has a big ta...
