The Late Coherent Wrestling Wednesdays: Did People Forgot There Was An NXT Episode?

The headline above has a point though. You guys forgot there was an NXT episode which by the way, was the go-home show for NXT Takeover: War Games.

So, it isn't a surprise that AEW Dynamite was The better show.

NXT  

Highlights.

Pat McAfee Talks Some Sh*t About Everyone Including Undisputed Era.

I could hear this guy talk about how much of a loser I and the rest of the fans are for HOURS. 

The reason being is that Pat makes simplistic sentences like "losers at the IWC" really charismatically funny. 

I will go as far as to say that he is in the top 5 best talkers in professional wrestling. 

All I'm saying is that McAfee is really damn good. 

Some Other Things That Happened.

Boa And Xia Li Beg For Forgiveness Again - I'm intrigued as to who's the black-hooded person. 

Legado De La Fantasma Lost To Leon Ruff And Damian Priest - Despite a bit of miscommunication, the champion and one of its challengers pulled off the win in a decent match. 

Also,  there were guys with Ghostface masks that surrounded the crowd area. Will they interfere in the triple threat match? 

I think so but will see what happens. 

Cameron Grimes defeated August Grey - I mean, the dude has an upcoming match so why would he lose?

As he was attacking August Grey with the strap, out came Dexter Lumis and he gave Grimes the receipt before War Games. 

Jake Atlas defeated Tony Nese - It was okay. It looks like Atlas is getting a shot at the cruiserweight championship based on his post-match promo (no sh*t, Omar). 

Grizzled Young Veterans vs Imperium Ended For Some Reason - This was supposed to be GYV vs Ever-Rise but Imperium attacked Ever-Rise because they "requested" a shot at facing the Grizzled Young Veterans. 

Both Zack Gibson and Fabian Aichner fell down on the outside and that's how the match ended. 

I get that NXT wanted to continue this rivalry but that was a lame a** finish. 

Timothy Thatcher Live Thatch Camp - A guy that feels like he loses all the time, has a lesson in his camp about distractions. Tommaso Ciampa showed up and they brawled. Cool. 

Io Shirai Is The Four Member Of Shotzi's War Games Team - No surprise here. Oh, and Shotzi Blackheart wins the women's War Games advantage ladder match. 

AEW 

Highlights.

Sting Is Here. 

Yes, the man that "does this and does that" makes his AEW debut as well as his return to TNT. 

If AEW had a full crowd, the reaction alone would've been Attitude Era level hot. 

Side note, hearing Tony Schiavone calling Sting's return was bittersweet. 

AEW announced that he has signed a multi-year deal with the company which begs the question. 

Is he going to wrestle? Because, right now, that's the million-dollar curiosity. 

Do I want to see him wrestle? Probably not. 

Why? Well, have you seen his match with Seth Rollins at Night Of Champions 2015?

Oh, and there was a tag team match between Cody Rhodes, Darby Allin and the FTW crew which was fine. 

Chris Jericho Issued An Ultimatum. 

Either Sammy Guevara and MJF get along or The Inner Circle is no more. This one has actual stakes and you know what? I like it. 

However, Jericho's match with Frank Kazarian was sloppy and just not good. 

Kenny Omega vs Jon Moxley For The AEW World Championship.

Does this match live up to the hype? F**k Yes!

This was the greatest ending to a wrestling show in quite some time. 

Will Omega have a face to face confrontation with the Impact world champion, Rich Swann? (if that's the case, take my f'ing money). 

Will Omega defend the AEW championship on an episode of Impact Wrestling? 

Will they be a team AEW vs team Impact Wrestling match at Revolution? 

A lot of intriguing questions are roaming around my head right now. 

This is an exciting time to be a connoisseur of all things professional wrestling. 

Some Other Things That Happened. 

Orange Cassidy And MJF Win Diamond Ring Battle Royal - I'm curious as to what winning the diamond ring does to a competitor. 

Does it lead to a title opportunity or something? 

Better yet, why should I even care about this Diamond Ring ya know? 

Britt Baker Defeated Leyla Hirsh - The bout was aight. Britt was then attacked by Thunder Rosa. 

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, 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...
