The Coherent Wrestling Wednesdays: An Emotional And Fantastic Brodie Lee Tribute Show.

 
I know this is the Coherent Wrestling Wednesdays where I recap NXT and AEW Dynamite. 

But, NXT was such a meh show that I had to only talk about a show that paid a great tribute to Jon Huber aka Mr Brodie Lee. 

Yes, it is a cliche saying but it was everything that I wanted and more. 

The show got me right in the feels, man. 

Kudos to AEW for not only providing us with a great tribute show but as well as supporting Jon Huber's family. 

AEW

Highlights. 

Pretty Much Everything.

I usually write bullet point notes during a show but this one was an exception. 

I put down my tablet and just watched the show without worrying about whether I wrote everything about the episode ya know? 

You wanna know the highlight of the episode? Brodie Lee Jr aka -1.


When he hit MJF with that kendo stick, I marked the F out man and if you guys have been a fan of mine, y'all know that I'm not a fan of the MJF character. 

The opening match absolutely KICKED A**. I sometimes forget how agile Colt Cabana is as a performer.

Chris Jericho said in commentary, "if you wanna cry, it's okay, damn it!" and that video package about Jon Huber as a family man made me cry. 


Anna Jay is showing off her technical in-ring abilities that I was impressed by. 

She's getting better and better and it's great to see wrestlers improve. 

Erick Rowan showing up to AEW that led to him bringing a poster that says, "goodbye for now, my brother. See you down the road" was so touching and meaningful given the detailed history between him and Brodie Lee aka Luke Harper. 


And finally, the AEW TNT championship was given to Brodie Lee Jr. 

Tony Schiavone announced via the episode's post-show that the current TNT championship design is retired. 

In my almost 14 years being a wrestling fan, I've never seen a wrestling company (at least in quite some time) that is so generous that they not only supported the family financially but also emotionally. 


AEW providing Brodie Lee Jr and Jon's younger son, Nolan with a lot of aid, should tell you how much the company is doing a great job on honouring Jon Huber. 

Stuff like that makes me feel better and hopeful that they're people who would simply just be there during the most difficult time in our lives. 

All I can say is, thank you, all elite wrestling and most importantly, thank you, Jon Huber.

WWE Smackdown Live 10/7/18 | My Coherent Review.

Smackdown live was a bad show that did nothing as a wrestling fan to gain any excitement for extreme rules. Why you ask? Well i'm gonna give you what's good. No scratch that, i'm gonna give you what's ok and what's bad. Here we go. WHAT'S OK The opening segment and the brawl after that The opening segment was meh. And the brawl after that was fine. Didn't make me go "OHHHHHHHHHHH" or anything like along those lines. That brawl leads to a TEN MAN TAG TEAM match (Ummmmmm no shit omar). I will say this, the segment kinda teased the fact that maybe kane will turn on his best friend? I don't know. Should be interesting.  Andrade "cien" almas vs Sin cara The match was surprisingly decent. At one point andrade delivered a devastating stomp to sin cara on the ring apron. Andrade wins with a running knee to sin cara on the middle rope. Hoping andrade can move on to bigger and better things.  WHAT'S BAD ...

Should Dave Meltzer Get Rid Of His Rating System?

So a few weeks ago, good old Dave Meltzer of the wrestling observer newsletter gave the Kazuchika Okada vs Kenny omega match at dominion 2018 a 7-star rating. According to the interent wrestling database , this match is by far his HIGHEST match rating ever (i don't blame him because the match was amazing). So statistically, this is his favourite match of all time . Now, why I'm writing this now?  Well, his best match ratings have been a consistent 5 stars since 1983 with the exception of all the Omega vs Okada matches and the Mitsuharu Misawa vs Toshiaki Kawada match at AJPW's Budokan hall show in June of 1994.  There are fans that take his match ratings as an offence somehow like "Why he rates X match better than Y match?" or thinks that he "hates" WWE which is ridiculous considering that he gave three WWE matches a 5 star ratings just this past year. One was the ladder match to crown the first ever NXT North American champion, the Johnny Garga...

The Obsession With Ratings. Warranted Or Not?

(Just a bit of a heads-up, this article contains a lot of the word "ratings").  Rating. Rating. Rating. It is a word that you see or hear many times throughout your wrestling fandom but why is that?  Well, it's interesting to see how your weekly consumption does by the numbers every week.  However, that conversation can turn the other way.  The toxic, " logic-filled" , gatekeeping way that is (you see why I muted the word "rating" on Twitter?).  Fans have been talking about TV ratings for years but that discussion has skyrocketed once AEW Dynamite and NXT airs on the same night every week ya know because wrestling fans am I right?  Before I answer the question of whether the obsession with TV ratings is warranted or not, I'll first have to briefly describe the Nielsen rating (which is an American TV rating system. No sh*t, Omar).  A Summary Of The History Of The Nielsen Ratings.  The Nielsen rating system was introduced...
