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.

Wrestling And The So Called "'Realism".

  When was the last time you've heard a wrestling fan say, "wrestling is too unrealistic" or "wrestling is beyond believable"? If the answer is no, I wanna live in whatever dystopia you reside in because I envy your ignorance.  All wittiness aside, it is pretty common to hear pundits and fans say that the medium of their entertainment (pro wrestling, in this case) is too darn unrealistic.  Now, why is that? That depends on when professional wrestling or the specific style of pro wrestling came into their lives.  Some might have grown up in the "realistic sport" presentation that territories like the WWWF presented back in the 60s/70s. Others might have been brought up in the late 90s Attitude era Jerry springer/Vince Russo esque offering (uh, The Undertaker and Kane literally existed by then).  It's a weird discussion to have since I and the 3 people that read this, can put out the gazillion things in wrestling that are deemed "unrealistic...

Top 7 Best NXT Takeover Theme Songs.

Everbody likes to put on some good music. You like good music. Your friends and family like good music. However, what makes a song good is completely subjective but in my opinion, NXT are nailing it with their takeover theme songs and I'm ranking them on a glorified subjective form of content and that is list videos/articles or in my case a top seven list. Without further ado, Here are my top seven best NXT takeover theme songs.  7. Serpents by Neck Deep   The reason why I like this song so much is that   it gives me some early 2000s punk rock which by listening to this song, it feels like they're paying a homage to that era. overall a good listen that depending on how old you are will give a nostalgic feel like I did.  6. Ace Of Spades by  Motörhead Now, l like me some Motörhead. Triple H's current theme and the evolution theme song is some of my favourite theme music of all time and this is no exception. The only critique I have for this song ...

Wrestling With Whiteness | A Documentary Sorely Needed.

Here's the thing. My 2 viewers will know that I've been a wrestling fan for 15 plus years but what they do not know is that I've been a Somali (aka a Black Muslim person) my entire life so talking about this documentary is going to be a little more personal, to say the least.  And look, I know this is the part where I insert my usual wit and fart jokes but you're not gonna see less of that because this is a serious topic (and you know it's serious when I mentioned my ethnicity) about representation and the shared struggle across every single black performer featured in this documentary.  From the press release, Wrestling With Whiteness "focuses on sharing the stories of Black folx and their experience in the wrestling community. Using a combination of interviews with Black wrestlers and Black content creators, Wrestling With Whiteness uncovers the unique experiences of Black people in the industry and the rise of representation for performers and fans around th...
