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.

My Coherent Wrestling Wednesdays: Chris Jericho Offers Moxley To Join Inner Circle, The Go-Home Show Before Dec 18th.

I thought the middle act of AEW Dynamite suffered some pacing issues even though it was overall a much stronger show than last week's episode.  The latest episode of NXT, however, has built a solid foundation on what's to come on December 18th. The main question is, which show do I like better? The answer is AEW.  NXT  Highlights. Angel Garza vs Lio Rush For The NXT Cruiserweight Championship.  Was this match better than their first encounter? Like Snoop Dogg's verse in Sasha Banks' theme song, "Hell yea". Garza slams Rush hard on the ring apron by pushing the champ. Moments later, Garza delivers the Spanish Fly and Rush kicked out of that.  As Rush hits the frog splash, the champ wanted to pull him back in the middle of the ring but instead, he ripped off Garza's pants (nice attention to detail).  Angel then hits the wind clipper but Lio kicked out which led to a wind clipper submission and the man of the hour tapped out which m...

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...

A Brief Guide To Pro Wrestling Websites.

So. You just become a fan of pro wrestling and have dabbled into the fandom for a bit (it's a mess ain't it?) You've just followed some news sites' social media platforms but aren't sure whether the articles they put out are accurate or not.  Well, you got the right guy to solve that problem if it's from a blog that barely gets any traction (that would be me in case you were confused).  The news we get from the medium that is pro wrestling is an integral part of the online space.  The reason being is that it's not only a great conversation starter but you could also learn something new today about the industry you love.  That doesn't mean that all of the news you see on the timeline is reliable.  I'm here to hopefully give you a guide to wrestling sites.  There are many wrestling websites out there but I wanna highlight some of the notable ones.  Okay? Here we go.  #1: Wrestling Observer Newsletter aka F4WOnline.  I can't talk about a guide t...
