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. 

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. 

WWE Photo

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 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...
