Georgia Championship Wrestling Is Coming Back?? 


Post Wrestling and my man Andrew Thompson, reported that the promotion that is known for showcasing legends like Macho Man Randy Savage, Dusty Rhodes, Rick Martel back in the territory days, is coming back on October 3rd. 

The piece goes on to state that the October 3rd event isn't too far off from their next event due to the fact that they're planning to revive the GCW entity. 

Thompson spoke with one of the executives of GCW, Chris Nelms. 

Nelms' goal for GCW is to present it as a "territory style group" on top of working with 4 to 5 different promotions in the Georgia area "under the Georgia Championship Wrestling banner". 

The promotion is supposedly going to broadcast their shows on boomerville *stutters once* I mean Facebook or possibly on local television.  


I'm a young fellow so I don't know how to react to this news whether it's the feeling of excitement or anger. 

I'm sure the old souls might get a kick out of this since it looks like they’re targeting that specific audience.

I'm also curious about how they'll differ between their programming and NWA Powerr. 

Is GCW going to bring back the old stage set, the old belts or not? 

Will have to wait and see. 

Triple H On Kyle O'Reilly Being In The Main Event Conversation For Awhile. 


Triple H was in the media call before NXT Takeover: 31. 

During the conference, Triple H was asked by Kelly Wells of PWTorch about Kylie O'Reilly as a challenger for the NXT championship and how it was actually in the works for a while (Transcript from Fightful): 

"That’s been something we’ve been talking about doing for a while and in the works. If you were to ask me, did it speed up the process, probably."

"He’s such a great performer and it’s not to take away from him in a tag team, but he’s such a great performer and is naturally charismatic. 

He’s funny, he’s all those things that you’ve seen doing what’s he’s doing, but I think people will see that at a completely different level and I’m excited for him. He’s excited for that opportunity."

Kylie O'Reilly is somebody that has singles' star potential written all over him since day one and that face to face confrontation this week on NXT proved that to be the case. 

Quick NXT Takeover: 31 Predictions. 


Sticking to the NXT theme one last time, I decided to write down some NXT Takeover: 31 quick predictions because why not, right? 

My picks are highlighted in bold letters: 

Finn Balor vs Kylie O'Reilly For The NXT Championship. 

Damian Priest vs Johnny Gargano For The North American Championship. 

Io Shirai vs Candice LeRae For The NXT Women's Championship. 

*Major sigh* Velveteen Dream vs Kushida. 

Santos Escobar vs Isiah Swerve Scott For The NXT Cruiserweight Championship. 

Sami Zayn Stated That The Triple Threat Intercontinental Championship Match Was One Of His Favourites. 

Last Sunday, Clash Of Champions happened and it was decent. 

Something that was more than decent was the triple threat ladder match for the Intercontinental championship that opened the show. 

And the current Intercontinental champion, Sami Zayn, felt the same way. Here's what he said about it on the tweets:

 

I appreciate Jeff Hardy, AJ Styles and Sami Zayn for an outstanding ladder match. 

Definitely a match of the year contender if I'm being honest.  

Smackdown Isn't Going To Be Televised On October 23rd?

In the FOX TV schedule for October, Smackdown isn't on the list for October 23rd and instead, the MLB World Series Game 3 will air on that date. 

It's definitely going to air on FS1 just like last year due to, you guessed it, the MLB World Series. 


What do you think about the news I just reported and follow me on the tweets @omartheplayaguy? Anyways, stay safe smarks.

WWE Smackdown Season Premiere | A Coherent Review.

  It is the season premiere of Friday night Smackdown even though WWE doesn't have an offseason.  Nevertheless, it was a decent program and had a WAY better ending than whatever the hell of an ending last year's premiere of Friday night Smackdown showed.  There isn't a women's match this week and all of the AEW fanboys are looking at this like, "sEe, WWE dOeSn't feATuRe wOmeN'S mAtChEs aLsO."  pictures via WWE.com The Season Premiere Of Smackdown 2020.  The show started off with Triple H and Stephanie McMahon highlighting the scheduled matches for Smackdown as well as the superstars.  Chaos then ensued thanks to a huge brawl. Then, the "super freak" Lars Sullivan came out and delivered the freak accident to Shorty G.  Somehow, Jeff Hardy attacked him and that led to the opening match of the night between Lars and Jeff.  You know, I'm kind of surprised that two white people in McMahon and Hemsley knew who Rick James is.  Maybe I'm igno...

THE Coherent AEW Take: Christian Dior, Dior. Eddie Kingston up in all the stores!

Ever since AEW Dynamite was on Saturday night for a bit, I've been WAY behind on AEW content so excuse my ignorance. And It's Full Gear weekend which means another PPV that would last longer than the Snyder cut.  Sheeit, I'll bet the collar and elbow hold alone from the Hangman Page and Kenny Omega championship match, is longer than the entire Queen's Crown tournament.  As far as how I feel about both programs this week, well.  They did an okay job on building towards the final AEW PPV of the year this Saturday. Rampage.   Highlights.  Bryan Danielson vs Anthony Bowens.  And no, the highlight doesn't include Max Caster's verses. I'll rather listen to f**king Riff Raff than Max Caster's dig on anything.  The worst part, people are probably going to look at this and say, "can't wait for a Max Caster's appearance on Wild 'N Out!"  With that being said, this opening match was good. Danielson wins with the rebel lock.  Eddie Kingston (wi...

The Coherent Wrestling Wednesdays: Fyter Fest 2020 Came Back Swinging?

Last week, on this very series, I said that I enjoyed Great American Bash better than Fyter Fest.  Well, this week is the exact opposite. AEW came in swinging with night 2 Fyter Fest.  I've not liked a Dynamite episode in several weeks so it's nice to see that the show finally executed a great show since God knows how long.   NXT      Highlights (at least in my opinion because wrestling is subjective).  Mia Yim vs Candice LeRae In A Street Fight. The match went underway after Yim quickly attacked Candice LeRae during LeRae's entrance.  In the crowd area, Candice tried to nail the suplex on the table but Yim got out of that position and kicked her to which she landed through the table.  The Streetfight concluded with LeRae striking Yim with the brass knuckles followed by a swinging neck from the top of the table onto a bunch of chairs and that's how LeRae defeats the HBIC.  A fun opening match even though...
