AEW Dynamite 14/4/21 | A Coherent Review.

It is so refreshing that I get to review one show in a day instead of two shows in a day. 

The latest edition of AEW Dynamite was pretty good. As usual, the in-ring work is top-notch. 

Before AEW aired its opening intro, The Jackson brothers reminded everyone that a new and improved Young Bucks are coming due to the fact that they're tired of letting people walk all over them. 

A good promo actually. Didn't know Young Bucks are such good bad guys based on that dialogue alone. 

Also, something that happened backstage, MJF offered Mike Tyson a check because MJF believes to keep his friends close but his enemies closer (MJF has ACTUAL FRIENDS!? Who knew?). 

But, Tyson tore that check to pieces. 

The Young Bucks vs Death Triangle In Pac And Rey Fenix For The AEW World Tag Team Championship. 

You got folks on Twitter over analysing whether The Young Bucks' Nike shoes are fake or not (aka funny a** content). 

During the match, Pac and Fenix delivered a series of kicks on Nick Jackson which looked f**king cool. 

Pac nailed a beautiful blue thunder bomb on Matt Jackson to a near fall. 

This amazing match concluded with The Young Bucks ripping off Rey Fenix's mask which led to a double superkick and that's how The Young Bucks retained the AEW tag belts. 

AEW gave those guys some TIIIIIIIME! What a fantastic opening contest. This match notified me that Rey Fenix is legit that damn good on the squared circle. 


In an interview with Alex Marvez, Hangman Page completely dodged the question regarding The Young Bucks' new heel attitude. My man Page was like, "f**k them bucks". 

In another interview with Marvez, Chris Jericho and Mike Tyson told a story of how they've united each other to take out The Pinnacle. It was aight. 

Jade Cargill vs Red Velvet. 

Red Velvet as well as Jade Cargill, has been growing on me bit by bit every time I see them in the ring wrestling. We love seeing improvements.

The match was a bit short but I enjoyed it. Jade Cargill wins. 

Britt Baker explained to Tony Schiavone that she deserves to rank higher in the rankings because she has more wins than Red Velvet. 

Talk that sh*t, Doctor! 

Anthony Ogogo vs Local Competitor. 

With one punch, Ogogo won this match. Well, damn. 

Miro pretty much told the locker room in a promo to stay out of his way. Honestly, Miro splitting up with Kip Sabian is the best thing to happen to Miro. 

Now, the dude can focus on being portrayed as a Bulgarian beat.

Dax Harwood vs Chris Jericho. 

A solid encounter. Despite some outside shenanigans from The Inner Circle and The Pinnacle, Jericho nailed the Judas Effect to win the match. 

Oh, and Mike Tyson is now part of The Inner Circle which is cool, I guess. 


Kenny Omega's crew wanted to tell the world that they are that damn good. Don Callis super kicking the camera person made me laugh for some odd reason. 

Kris Statlander vs Amber Nova.

An okay match. Statlander defeated Amber Nova with the cradle tombstone.  

Christian Cage was brutally attacked by Powerhouse Will Hobbs because Christian wasn't going to join Taz's crew. 

Cage is facing Hobbs next week and I could not be more excited about it. It should be a banger of a bout. 

Darby Allin vs Matt Hardy For The TNT Championship In A No Disqualifications Match. 

Both guys beat the holy HELL out of each other. This was a crazy yet enjoyable match. 

@Ceehawk's favourite pro wrestler, Sting, saved Darby from a further beatdown by The Butcher, The Blade and Private Party.

Darby came out of that brutal bout still the TNT champion.  

So, to recap for all of you slow mofos. 

Like: Death Triangle vs The Young Bucks, The Young Bucks' new heel persona, Jade Cargill vs Red Velvet, Darby Allin vs Matt Hardy. 

Didn't like: Nothing really.

WrestleFest DXB's Fahrenheit 971 | A Coherent W.

  Being a fan of pro wrestling (or any other medium of entertainment) does have its pros and cons when engaging with the industry as a whole.  On one hand, you've witnessed an Eddie Kingston promo that'll make you tear up more than the opening scene of Up.  On the other hand, going to the wrestling subreddit will definitely have you questioning humanity as a whole and the fact that living in an area where a wrestling presence pretty much doesn't exist like a Vince Russo-written storyline that is, you know, GOOD!?  Luckily, the latter retracted my con as a fan because I'm talking about Wrestlefest DXB and their latest joint, "971 Fahrenheit".  Martin Bushby of now Post Wrestling Alumni brought the event to my attention because like a wrestler on an episode of RAW I get distracted all the time.  So, I decided to take a short journey to a taxi then a bus then a train then a 30-minute walk to the show itself and I know I'm going to sound biased as f**k but I l...

Let's Talk About The White Rabbit In The Room.

I haven't reviewed last year's show mainly because it was so good and clearly as extreme as any ECW match and I'm happy to tell all 3 of y'all that this one is better by several inches or so. Why? *slaps my bald head* HERE'S WHY. The opening match between Sheamus and Gunther's crew ruled harder than the Mongolian empire.  It was basically an enhanced version of Sheamus' match with Gunther last night on Smackdown and I loved it.  The Brawling Brutes' victory means one thing that is clearly obvious, a rematch between Sheamus and Gunther for the intercontinental championship aka the only series of rematches I don't mind.  Ronda Rousey and Liv Morgan delivered in what was a wrestling match equivalent to the X-Men Dark Phoenix movie.  While Bianca Belair and Bayley had their equivalent to the first Iron Man movie in that it was decent.  Drew McIntyre and Karrion Kross had an okay edition of the "Meaty men slapping meat".  That spear from Edge to...

A Few Thoughts On RAW And Smackdown: RAW wasn't GREAT!?

  Since this blog will be less of a priority now considering I'm focusing on my podcast now (hit the 5 stars on Apple Podcast you sons of b*tches), I decided to share my few thoughts on RAW, Smackdown, I guess?  Smackdown.  The blue brand delivered yet another good episode this week and it's probably due to the fact that Braun Strowman taking out the Maximum Model is high-key funny as f**k.  The folks over at Titan Towers are bringing back the essence of their characters whether it's Kevin Owens, Shayna Baszler or in this case, Big Braun himself.   As a fan, you gotta love it, especially since in the case of Strowman, the dude hasn't been the same since he turned heel 4 years ago when feuding with Roman Reigns for the universal title.   Other noteworthy segments include Logan Paul challenging Roman Reigns for the big world universal multiverse galactic cinematic championship.  Imagine they pulled that match off 7 years ago back when Logan was on V...
