The Coherent Wrestling Wednesdays: Adam Cole Explains It All, Another Meh AEW Dynamite Episode.


What do I think of Big Show doing commentary for AEW? I don't hate it. 

As far as how I feel about both shows this week, NXT without building a PPV is still better than AEW that is building for a PPV.

NXT 

Highlights. 

Johnny Gargano vs Dexter Lumis.


Dexter Lumis' in-ring work is like if I was watching Halloween and saw Michael Myers doing kip ups. Did I need to say that? Probably not but it was what it was. 

I like this match. It was surprisingly competitive given the way (get it? The way?) Dexter Lumis was written. 

Xia Li Continues To Dominate Again.  


Yes, she's been beating pretty much the same set of people for weeks but I don't care. Xia Li hasn't looked more dominant than ever. 

She's legit one of the best things on the show right now. 

Karrion Kross vs Santos Escobar In A Street Fight. 


I said in my previous that a match between Escobar and Kross is a potential dream match. 

And for me, it exceeded. They BEAT THE HELL out of each other. And of course, Kross wins. 

Adam Cole Explains It All. 


Cole showed up to CWC feeling sorry for Kylie O'Reilly and blamed himself for the recent attacks against O'Reilly. 

Roderick Strong interrupted, basically saying that Adam words are full of sh*te. Finn Balor stormed to the ring and he brawled with Cole but he somehow put the Irishmen down. 

Cole started to cry and Strong actually hugged the guy but he went to "dick kick city" as Brian Zane would like to put it, from Adam Cole baybay. 


I love how Finn Balor was the afterthought in all of this. It's so hilarious to me for some reason.

Bobby Fish's input would be cool but I get why they didn't do it. 

I am all in on Kylie O'Reilly moving on as a legit singles star and what better way to do that than feuding with Adam Cole. 

Yes, NXT pulled the "best friend now bitter rivals" a LOT but the use of it, in this case, isn't bad at all. 

Some Other Things That Happened.

Tyler Rust vs Leon Ruff - Before the match, Malcolm Bivens mentioned that Tyler is the "diamond on the Rust" (nice play with words). 

That match didn't happen because Isiah Swerve Scott attacker Ruff once again.  

Io Shirai defeated Zoey Stark - So, is Zoey Stark related to Tony Stark (try again, Omar. Better luck next time)? 

After the match,  Toni Storm showed up to challenge Io Shirai for the women's championship and Io basically said, "anytime, anywhere". 

Grizzled Young Veterans defeated Drake Maverick And Killian Dain - God, Drake Maverick and Killian are so damn adorable together. 

AEW

Highlights. 

Ricky Starks And Brian Cage vs Griff Garrison And Brian Pillman Jr aka the Vancity Blondes.

Garrison and Pillman Jr has improved bit by bit every time I witness those guys wrestle. They're so entertaining to watch as a duo. 

The bad guys win, of course, but then, Darby Allin and Sting came out and brawled with Taz's crew. It was aight.  

Nyla Rose vs Britt Baker. 

This might be an unpopular opinion but Nyla Rose is legit a fantastic in-ring performer. 

The same goes for Britt Baker. And it isn't a surprise for me that they delivered a good match. 

Nyla Rose advanced in the tournament thanks to her devastating sit-out powerbomb. 

Some Other Things That Happened. 

Jon Moxley defeated Ryan Nemeth - Moxley has not only faced Dolph Ziggler, but Jon has also now faced Dolph's brother, Ryan Nemeth. 

Moxley was then glowing about the barbed wire deathmatch for the AEW title at Revolution. I mean, the dude was once known as the "lunatic fringe". 

Jake Hager defeated Brandon Cutler - The Young Bucks kicked Hager's head off to which they called out Chris Jericho and MJF. 

Chris Jericho and MJF via the parking area showed them their beat-up father. 

The last time I checked, isn't The Young Bucks heels at one point last month? I'm legit confused. 

Private Party in Isiah Cassidy lost to Hangman Page - Page is getting support from fellow Dark Order member, John Silver (yea, no sh*t, Omar). 

Matt Hardy threw Alan Angels through a table and Hardy immediately ran from the arena. 

Heel heat right there from Matt Hardy. 

Lance Archer defeated Rey Fenix with the winner being in the  "Face Of Revolution" ladder match - The main event was fine for what it was. 

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.

WWE Smackdown 24/4/20 | A Coherent Review.

This week's Smackdown show was decent but it wasn't as strong as the previous weeks and *hits his head a few times* here's why.  The New Day Celebrates Their Title Victory. The show kicked off with the now 8th time WWE tag team champions, The New Day and like the title above, they were celebrating their big title win last week (No sh*t, Omar).  During the segment, Kofi mentioned that there's nothing wrong with pointing out that they have more title reigns than The Hart Foundation, Edge and Christian, Demolition, The New Age Outlaws etc because it's them being proud of their accomplishments.  Out came Lucha House Party, The Miz and John Morrison and they pretty much said that they deserve a title shot. The Forgotten Sons showed up to tell The New Day, Lucha House Party and every other tag team watching that they will never be forgotten.  They lived up to that statement as the Forgotten Sons destroyed Lucha House Party and The New Day.  ...

WWE Smackdown 7/2/20 | My Coherent Review.

This episode of Friday night Smackdown was (not counting commercials) an hour and 26 minutes and it felt twice as long. Boy, what a boring show.  The Return Of The Dirt Sheets.  John Morrison and The Miz showed off their cinematic skills for a trailer they've made, a skill that they're still trying to be somewhat good at.  Out came their Super showdown opponent in The New Day and they laughed at the notion of Miz and Morrison capturing the tag team titles from them.  The Usos came out to tell the hosts of the dirt sheets that they'll put them in The Usos Penitentiary but Dolph Ziggler's music distracted The New Day which was an opportunity for Miz and Morrison to hit the tag champs from behind. The segment started off great but it had a lacklustre end to it.  That Dirt Sheets intro narrated by Howard Finkel took me back though to a time that I didn't know what bills were (yes, I'm that young). Good times.  The Usos vs Dolph Zigg...

WWE Smackdown Live 26/2/19 | My Coherent Review.

This was overall an okay show that did a decent job at building some intrigued for what is a waste of a PPV in Fastlane. By the way, There's no women's match on this show which is rather odd.  Opening segment.  The show kicked off with Shane McMahon, Stephanie McMahon, Rowan and Daniel Bryan all in the ring for a contract signing which is rare that a contract signing actually starts a wrestling show. Shane McMahon then showed Kofi Kingston career highlights which led to Shane McMahon and Stephanie McMahon introducing Kofi Kingston.  Kofi Kingston cut a promo saying that he finally got a one on one WWE championship match after 11 years and he's gonna beat Daniel Bryan for that title. After that, Daniel Bryan signed the contract and Kofi was about to sign the contract but Vince McMahon randomly showed up.  Vince announced that he's replacing Kofi with the returning Kevin Owens. First, Vince screwed Becky Lynch and now he screwed Kofi Kingston. That's odd b...
