The Coherent Wrestling Wednesdays: A Fantastic Mixed Tag Team Match, What? ADAM PEARCE!?

AEW Dynamite has disappointed me as of late. 

So, I'm really happy to say that the elite brand delivered this week. That is not to say that NXT was bad though. It was actually a decent show.

NXT   

Highlights. 

Roderick Strong Blames Finny For The Destruction Of The Undisputed Era. 


Yep, Roderick said it. Balor challenged Adam Cole for the championship next week to which he tells Roddy that he'll always be a follower. 

Strong snapped and it led to a brawl between two guys. 

Later in the night, they had a brutal match and in the end, the champ prevailed.  

Other than Smackdown, NXT has an intriguing main event scene right now that itches me to watch next week's show. 

Shayna Baszler And Nia Jax vs Dakota Kai And Raquel Gonzalez For The WWE Women's Tag Team Championship. 

This is the best tag match I've seen from Nia Jax and Shayna Baszler's reign as champions. 

One of the best aspects of this bout were showcased during the commercial break in picture and picture. 

The women's tag team champion retained the titles with Shayna hooking in the Kirifuda clutch on Dakota Kai however, Kai wasn't the one legal person but rather Raquel. 

RAW Referee Shawn Bennett, made the count thanks to Adam Pearce since the ref was knocked out. 

We're definitely getting a rematch, right? RIGHT!? 

Some Other Things That Happened. 

Timothy Thatcher And Tommaso Ciampa lost to Oney Lorcan And Danny Burch -  I was afraid that they would give the W to Thatcher and Ciampa but they didn't and I'm glad it didn't happen.  

Ember Moon defeated Aliyah - It was meh. 

The Way Are Taking A Therapy Session - Johnny was out of the therapy room because of the way (get it?) He communicated with the therapist. 

Austin Theory explained to the therapist regarding Dexter Lumis kidnapping him and he liked it, saying that he ate cereal and watched cartoons. 

The therapist revealed to him that she spoke with Lumis and she quoted Lumis' not so nice words to Austin. 

Theory cried a lot and that's how the segment ended. I don’t feel sorry for the guy. 

LA Knight Makes A Verbal Statement - This entire promo was LA Knight glowing about himself and honestly, it was decent. 

Bronson Reed lost to Cameron Grimes - Thanks to an assist by LA Knight. It looks like LA Knight's first rivalry is with the big man himself. I don't mind it. 

Legado De La Fantasma attacked two tag teams - Cool. 

AEW

Highlights. 

Cody Rhodes And Red Velvet vs Jade Cargill And Shaquille O'Neal.  

Aka The biggest surprise I've ever witnessed since the time I watched Paddington for the first time. 

That moonsault from Red Velvet was EVERYTHING! 

Cody and Shaq went through two tables that were set up by some members of Cody's nightmare family.  

Because of Jade's finishing move aka the Glam slam, Cargill and Big Shaq picked up the victory.  

Shaq was the highlight and so was Red Velvet. What a match indeed. 

Chris Jericho And MJF Revolution Press Conference. 

This scene went 0 to a 100 real f**king quick. 

The Young Bucks came out and they basically told Jericho and MJF that if it wasn’t for AEW, Chris Jericho would be in the performance centre while MJF would be unemployed. And of course, it led to a brawl. 

I get that Jericho and MJF beat up their Dad last week but God damn, Jackson bros. 

The Jurassic Express vs FTR And Tully Blanchard. 

What a fun 6 man tag team match. Tully didn't do all that much in this match which I don't mind, obviously. 

A masked person is what made FTR succeed in this bout. 

That person was revealed as Shawn Spears. 

Nyla Rose vs Ryo Mizunami. AEW Women’s Tournament Finals. 

I’m glad that AEW pulled the surprise in the tournament because I was worried they would’ve given the win to Nyla Rose in a predictable outcome. 

Oh, and the match was great. 

Some Other Things That Happened. 

Death Triangle In Rey Fenix And Pac defeated D3 and John Skyler quickly - Meh. 

Paul Wright Said That Somebody Is Coming At Revolution Who's A Hall Of Fame Talent - Wright, with the line of the night, stating quote, "who saw that turn coming?" God damn, that was funny. 

Will see what happens at Revolution regarding that "hall of fame" talent. 

A Brawl Between Taz's Crew, Sting And Darby Allin Before Revolution - I didn't hate. 

The Acclaimed Max Caster vs Dark Order's 10. A Qualifying Match For The Revolution Ladder Match  - Meh. 

Hangman Page And John Silver of The Dark Order defeated Matt Hardy And Marq Quen - It 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.

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...
