The Coherent Wrestling Wednesdays: Britt Baker Be SPITTING In Her Promo, Shawn Michaels On NXT.

Both episodes were so good that it was hard to pick my preferred show of the week. 

So, my pick for show of the night is NXT and AEW Dynamite because why not, right?

NXT   

Highlights. 

Dakota Kai And Raquel Gonzalez vs Io Shirai And Zoey Stark. 

Zoey Stark being in the women's championship scene in her young NXT tenure is odd yet I don't hate it. She was in my opinion, the highlight of the match.

A fun opening tag match. 

Raquel led her partner Dakota Kai to victory with a modified chokeslam of some sort to which she nailed the same move to Io Shirai on the announce table. 

I felt my back just by watching that spot.

Tommaso Ciampa challenged Walter To A NXT UK Championship Match At Takeover: Stand And Deliver.

Walter accepted the challenge and his Imperium stable gave Ciampa a 3 on 1 beating.

"Is this another match you're looking forward to, Omar?" You Goddamn right! 

Shawn Michaels Gave Santos Escobar And Jordan Devlin An Certain Stipulation To Crown An Undisputed Cruiserweight Champion. 

"Why is this in the highlights section?" 

Well, it's because it was a great call back to Shawn Michaels' feud with Razor Ramon that was contested in a ladder match at Wrestlemania 10 to crown an undisputed Intercontinental champion. DUHHHH! 

What Happened To Kylie O'Reilly And Adam Cole In Their Contract Signing For Their Match At Takeover: Stand And Deliver? 

They tried to brawl but that was prevented thanks to some security guards. 

If you've been a wrestling fan for a minute then you'll know that security guards are as effective as Gal Gadot's acting. 

The WWE Network exclusive video after the episode showed that they took out the security including a forearm strike from Adam Cole onto William Regal. 

I can't wait for this match to take place at Takeover: Stand And Deliver. 

The match card for both nights is shaping up to be an enjoyable two days of pure pro wrestling action. 

Some Other Things That Happened. 

LA Knight lost to Bronson Reed - A surprising move by the yellow brand to give LA Knight's first NXT match in years a loss. 

I get that they're building a number one contender’s battle royal match for the North American championship but It's a confusing, head-scratching decision to have a debuting star eat a pinfall. 

Finn Balor Confronts Karrion Kross - After Karrion Kross defeated Oney Lorcan, Finn Balor addressed his challenger face to face, telling the guy to control his emotions which I don't know what he meant by that. 

I'm looking forward to this bout. It's a shame that the build for this was mid. 

Ember Moon And Shotzi Blackheart defeated Mercedes Martinez And Aliyah for The NXT Women's Tag Team Championship - Yo, I forgot Mercedes Martinez was even on the roster, to be honest. 

AEW

Highlights. 

Britt Baker Be SPITTING In Her Promo. 

Baker’s line about her taking one night to be known as THE hardcore legend while it took Mick Foley 20 years to earn that moniker was everything. Can she get a women’s world championship opportunity, please AEW? 

Kenny Omega vs Matt Sydal. 

That match absolutely RULLLLLLLED. The man formerly known as Evan Bourne was on par with the AEW champion and unfortunately for Sydal, he lost the bout with a one-winged angel. 

Darby Allin vs John Silver For The TNT Championship.

A really fun main event encounter for the TNT belt. 

Allin picked up the victory to which Matt Hardy attacked Allin from behind. 

Hardy's Posse and Dark Order brawled because you can't end an episode of Dynamite without a huge brawl apparently. 

Well wishes to John Silver as his shoulder is hurting. Hoping it's not that serious. 

The Young Bucks And Brandon Cutler lost to Lucha Brothers And Laredo Kid.

This was a solid 6 man bout. Kenny Omega "tried to help his friend" by attacking Laredo Kid. 

Kenny Omega was bothered that he chose Brandon Cutler as the Jackson brothers' tag partner instead of him because of their friendship.

Omega gave the Bros a choice, it's either he or Cutler and The Young Bucks walked out which led to a double superkick from Penta El Zero Miedo and Rey Fenix. 

Omega's ego is reaching TO THE MOOOOOON! All "jokes" aside,  I like Kenny Omega's promo. It actually made me look at his words going, "he's right. He did leave Japan and rejected WWE for AEW".  In other words, it's one of those "they're a d**k but I get the reasoning". 

Some Other Things That Happened. 

Hangman Page defeated Cezar Bononi - It was fine. 

The Varsity Blondes In Griff Grasson And Brian Pillman And Dante Martin lost to The Pinnacle In Shawn Spears And FTR -  Meh. By the way, I like the name "Pinnacle" for MJF's new stable. 

FTR then cut a passionate promo about how the Pinnacle is more than just a group. They're a family. 

QT Marshall Asked Cody Rhodes For An Exhibition Between Them Next Week - Why? It's because he wants to prove to the Nightmare family and the world that he's really good in the ring. 

Cody showed up and he accepted the exhibition but told the guy that he'll do whatever it takes to win. Should be a decent match. 

Nyla Rose lost to Tay Conti - A decent contest from two talented pro wrestlers. 

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 Live 28/8/18 | My Coherent Review.

Overall, Smackdown Live was better than RAW in terms of having a somewhat good ending. Why you ask? Well, I'm gonna give you what's good, what's ok and the bad parts about this show were none in my opinion. Without further ado, this is my coherent, honest review of this week's Smackdown Live.  WHAT'S GOOD    New day's celebration  You have the new day celebration with their interaction with booker T and the addition of the spinaroonie or the spinaroonie, in this case, was entertaining and an odd but amusing opening segment.  Daniel Bryan vs Andrade "Cien" almas   Daniel Bryan's promo with Brie Bella by his side was like the Naomi vs Billie Kay match, it was there. However, the match itself was pretty good in my opinion. That chop by almas looked brutal bro like damn. Daniel Bryan wins Via DQ by miz beating him, almas hitting the hammerlock DDT, Maryse hitting a brutal looking DDT to brie bella and then miz hitting the skull cru

WWE Smackdown 14/2/20 | My Coherent Review.

Last night was my 2nd anniversary of pumping out written content on this site and I thought since this show has delivered 6 or sometimes 3 out of 10s for 4 months now, I've written some lyrics about my thoughts on Smackdown in the style of the current song opening for the blue brand.  If you wanna put the instrumental version of ACDC's Are You Ready while reading this then that's cool too.  *Cue the intro* Are you Ready?  Are you ready for mediocrity! Then, get ready for disappointment.  No one needs it.  No one needs it.  No one needs it.   Even Bischoff.  Are you ready for mediocrity! *ends with some guitar solos*.  The lyrics may suck but it is at least better than whatever the hell Justin Bieber meant when he sang his current single "Yummy".  Now, on with the review. The Return Of A Moment Of Bliss (Unlike The Return Of The Dirt Sheets, Nobody Really Cares).  Both Bliss and Nikki Cross talked about their c

WWE RAW 6/7/20 | A Coherent Review.

This episode of RAW actually made me look forward to Extreme Rules and that's something WWE doesn't do all that well in recent years. It was a great effort by the powers that be.  Dolph Ziggler Picks The Stipulation For The WWE Championship At Extreme Rules: The Horror Show.  McIntyre is waiting for Dolph Ziggler to pick the stipulation for their championship match at Extreme Rules.  Drew got his wish as Dolph Ziggler said that Drew has been stabbing people in the back and that includes the person that Ziggler brought up but not verbally, Heath Slater.  In a very emotional promo, Slater told his former 3MB mate that he was there for Drew McIntyre when Drew was fired from WWE in 2014 but the Scotsmen wasn't there for Slater when he was fired this year.  So, the one-man-band challenged him to a match and the WWE champion accepted. How was the match?  It was a squash bout. Drew wins with the claymore to which Ziggler was picking on Heath and Mc
