The Coherent Wrestling Wednesdays: A Mediocre Episode Of AEW Dynamite, New North American Champion.

AEW Dynamite got a sight new look. The question is, did it help in making the show better than NXT this week? 

Nah. AEW Dynamite wasn't good in my opinion and so was NXT, for the most part. In other words, I pick neither show.

NXT   

Highlights.

Santos Escobar vs Jake Atlas For The Cruiserweight Championship.  

Holy crap, what a match. 

Atlas showed some serious aggression in this bout. 

Unfortunately, that wasn't enough to capture the cruiserweight due to a modified death valley driver of some sort from Santos Escobar. 

Io Shirai And Rhea Ripley Prime Target. 

This video promo was, to no one's surprise, fantastic. 

Loved the connection NXT made between this feud, that triple threat match at NXT Takeover: In Your House and Rhea's big L against Charlotte Flair at Wrestlemania. 

The championship bout is happening next week and it should be a good encounter. 

Some Other Things That Happened.

Johnny Gargano Issued An Open Challenge By Spinning His Wheel - The person that the wheel pointed to was Leon Ruff. If you've been watching the program for quite some time, you know what happens next? 

Leon Ruff won and became the new North American champion thanks to a distraction by Damian Priest (sarcasm overload). 

I would've not mind this if Damian Priest was in Johnny's shoes and not the other way around because Johnny just became North American champion. 

It feels like yesterday when Damian Priest became North American champion so it doesn't make the title look good if I'm being real.

Raquel Gonzalez Doesn't Have A Match With Xia Li - Boa gave Raquel that news to which she replied with a beating. 

Some older gentleman then gave Boa a letter while the entire place was filled with dragon imagery as well as some red lighting. 

My curiosity has now peaked. 

Candice LeRae Defeated Toni Storm - After the match, Toni was attacked by that person with a scream mask. 

Shotzi Blackheart couldn't save Storm and then, the mysterious figure was revealed as Indi Hartwell. Ooh, I'm so surprised *sarcasm of course*. 

Timothy Thatcher Defeated Timothy Due To A Distraction By Cameron Grimes -  Cameron Grimes then relentlessly attacked Lumis in a post-match beatdown. The match itself was okay. 

Oney Lorcan And Danny Burch Retained the Championship Against Breezango - Before the match, Pat McAfee was trolling the universe once again which I can't stop loving this heel role from Party McAfee, to be honest. 

After the match though, Drake Maverick ain't done with McAfee's Posse as chaos ensued. However, the bad guys stood tall and that's how the show ended. 

It looks like we might get to see an 8 man tag match between Drake Maverick, Killian Dain and Breezango vs McAfee's Posse. 

At least, that's what the direction looks like for me. 

AEW 

Highlights.

Penta El Zero Miedo vs Rey Fenix. 

By far, the BEST thing about this mediocre of an episode bruh. 

A breath of fresh that was desperately needed for this week's program. 

However, I thought Eddie Kingston telling Penta to reject his own brother, Rey Fenix when he himself told Penta to not fight with Rey a few weeks back, made no sense to me. 

Oh, and Pac has returned and had a bit of altercation with Eddie Kingston in case y'all were wondering.  

Some Other Things That Happened. 

Brian Cage Defeated Matt Sydal - Taz wasn't having it with Darby Allin before the opening bout took place. The bout itself was decent though. 

Who Is Jade Cargill? - All we saw is that she represents Shaq aka Shaquille O'Neal. Jade then literally teased a feud between Cody and Shaquille O'Neal. 

After a verbal smacking from Brandi Rhodes to Jade, FTW took this entire segment as an opportunity to attack Cody. 

Thankfully for the prince of pro wrestling, he was saved by Darby Allin and Willy Hobbs. 

Cody vs Shaq? Pass! 

Dustin Rhodes And QT Marshall Defeated The BB aka the Butcher And The Blade In A Bunkhouse Match - This is the slowest and the most boring N

No DQ match I've seen in quite some time. 

Inner Inducts MJF And Wardlow To The Inner Circle - MJF's "wrote a poem" which he stole from a Drake song "All Me". Not gonna lie, I do not blame him because it's a great song. 

Anyways, to celebrate this day, he not only sang "happy birthday" to Chris Jericho (because he isn't in the key dem…… I mean it's his birthday). 

But, he also bought tickets for his Inner Circle buddies to Las Vegas. 

I'm smelling a turn from MJF and it's pretty strong (no sh*t, Omar). 

Shawn Spears Defeated Scorpio Sky Due To A Small Steel Object Used - Cool.

Tay Conti Defeated Red Velvet - Throughout this match, Anna Jay wanted Tay to pretty much join the stable that is the Dark Order. Will that happen? Who knows but will see. 


The question is, what are some of the highlights of both episodes in your opinion? Let me know in the comments below and follow me on Twitter @omartheplayaguy. Anyways, I gotta get some sleep so stay safe smarks.

The 5 News Week: An Interview With ROH's Eli Isom, Fans Singing Petitions For Charlotte Flair Not Winning Titles Anymore!?

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. Without further ado, here are the 5 news week. An Interview With ROH's Eli Isom.  Yes. After several and several and several of The 5 News Week articles that I've been putting out since late 2018, I finally got an interview for you guys.  The person in question is Ring Of Honour's Eli Isom. Since graduating from the ROH Dojo, Isom has worked and learned from the absolute best in the industry:  "I’m lucky that I got a chance to train from scratch with ROH, without that kind of training who knows where I’d be right now." So, without further ado, here is the conversation I had with Eli.  Omar: My first question is, how would you describe the persona of "Eli Isom" to resident WWE shills like myself? Eli Isom: For me, my wrestling persona isn’t too far off from who I real...

WWE Wrestlemania 36 Night One | A Coherent Review.

When they announced that Wrestlemania was going to take place in two nights, I was hesitant mainly because I prefer a single show with meaningful matches and not the exact opposite spanned between two shows.  So far, the wrestling Gods proved me wrong. Wrestlemania 36 Night número uno was a great show. WWE gave me an escape that is desperately needed especially in this unique circumstance and I'm sure some of you guys feel this way too. As a tradition on this site, I haven’t seen the pre-show match so I can’t talk about it. Now, on with the review.  Before the show, Stephanie McMahon stated the usual thing. You know "in these times, we will entertain you". They then had the compilation of all the singers that sang America the beautiful which is actually pretty cool.  That led to this year's pirate-themed Wrestlemania opening and it was unique obviously but what makes it different is the humour in it which was fine.  The Kabuki Warriors vs Alexa Bliss And Ni...

The 5 News Week: Master P Buying House Of Glory!?, NXT TV To Air In Different Arenas!?

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. Without further ado, here are the 5 news week . Sorry for not posting in two days. Just some personal stuff I gotta deal with and my Coherent Wednesdays review was a bit rushed and I want to nail it in a no pun intended, coherent matter if that makes any sense? Hopefully, my reviews will get better in the coming weeks.  Master P Buying House Of Glory!?  A great example of human beings having an unpredictable nature to them (ask Vince McMahon), Master P was interviewed somewhere in Manhattan and he announced that he has brought an independent wrestling promotion based in New York called House Of Glory or HOG which was founded by Brian XL and Impact Alumni Amazing Red in 2014.  PWInsider and Mike Johnson gave an update to this story stating that Master P will deliver the "muscle and production team" goi...
