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.

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.

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 RAW 5/8/19 | My Coherent Review.

This episode of RAW didn't prepare the biggest party of the summer very well and detailed but if I was a party planner, I'll give this a pass.  After the entire WWE paid tribute to the horrific mass shooting in El Paso, Texas and Dayton, Ohio with a ten bell salute, an opening intro has been played for the first time in a year and then, Samoa Joe cut a promo on the announce table shouting loud and clear that he had nothing to do with the end segment last week on SmackDown Live.  That was a different way to open the show and I absolutely love it. Short, quick and to the point.  Becky Lynch and Charlotte Flair vs Natalya and Trish Stratus.  During the match, Natalya locked Lynch in the sharpshooter and not letting go of that hold after Becky caught the middle to break the hold which caused the match to end in a DQ. Trish tried to separate Nattie to which Nattie herself purposely pushed Trish.  Rey Mysterio vs Andrade.  Completely un...

The 5 New Week's 2nd Anniversary And What I've Learned From Writing About News.

WHAT? A second 5 News Week article of the week? Preposterous.  The reason why I'm writing this is that 2 years ago to this day, October 28th 2018 was the inaugural 5 News Week piece.  I thought to celebrate this day, I want to share to all of the young, aspiring news writers what I've learned from the 2 years I've been writing pro wrestling news  (which has mostly been WWE news because let's be real, I am the resident WWE shill).  Here we go.  Stock images via pexels.com #1: Research And Fact-Checking.  When approaching a piece of news that comes to your news feed, it is important to research the news piece itself so that you're giving the viewer/reader a context as to what's happening.  Which is why your favourite talk show programs like Last Week Tonight, values their research team to analyze the world around them and what can be done through history.  Another reason as to why research is valuable for information is, of course, fact-checking....

The 5 News Week: What's With The Story Of WWE Will Possibly Put Their Content On A Different OTT?

Hello, my fellow wrestling fans and welcome to the 5 news week. The post where I report 5 major or minor news of the week that I don't have time to do it separately.  This past week was filled with news so  fasten your virtual seat belts because this is gonna be a long one. Without further ado, here are The 5 News Week.  What's With The Story That WWE Will Possibly Put Their Content On A Different OTT?  This confusion all started when some fans (including myself) saw the headline from a well-respected publication "WWE In Talks Talks to Sell PPV Rights to Another ‘Major’ Streaming Service." That publication is The Wrap and the article pretty much talked about what Vinne Mac said in the Q4 2019 earnings report about the possibility of putting their content to a major streaming service or enhance the prize point to a tiered payment but the deal to quote The Wrap " if made — would be announced by next month.". Did the old man say this? Let...
