AEW Dynamite 19/5/21 | A Coherent Review.


AEW Dynamite was, as per usual, GOOD! GOOD! GOOD!

Christian Cage vs Matt Sydal. 

I'll never get tired of humming Christian Cage's theme song. Yes, it's basically an instrumental of Evanescence's My Last Breath but it is still one of my favourite theme songs of all time. 

It's a rarity that a wrestler I appreciate, has two different theme songs from different companies that I love equally. 

Anywho, that opening match ruled which isn't surprising given that they have a bit of history together.  

After Christian defeated Matt Sydal with the kill switch, Ricky Starks brought the rest of Taz's crew to the ring and they attacked both competitors in the opening match. 

Hangman Page came to the rescue however, he was taken down with a chop block from Taz's son, Hook. 

All I can say is, Ricky Starks won my fandom ever since his Darby Allin impressions. 


The Varsity Blondes cut a solid promo regarding the Young Bucks and how they're not the same Young Bucks they've met back in 2018. 

The Acclaimed vs Jon Moxley And Eddie Kingston. 

Aye yo. My man Max Caster needs to f**king chill with his pre-match diss tracks. The dude's roasting game is to quote Vegeta, "OVER 9000!" He's already one of my favourites right now. 

Jon Moxley and Eddie Kingston came out yet again with "Wild Thing" by The Troggs. With the amount of licensed music AEW is using, it sure convinces me that Tony Khan is flexing his big bucks and I don't blame him. 



A decent promo from Ethan Page and Scorpio Sky led to a brawl with Sting and Darby Allin. Meh. 

While dining out, The Pinnacle proposed a challenge to the Inner Circle at Double Or Nothing in a Stadium Stampede match. 

The highlight of this scene was after Shawn Spears assaulted the waiter, MJF with his hand venture, told Spears to calm down. 

You know this scene hits different when MJF is the nicer one of the group. 

Hikaru Shida vs Rebel. 

The match ended via a DQ due to a vicious assault by Britt Baker. 

I'm looking forward to this match simply because they've always had fantastic matches together. 

Their match at the April 8th, 2020 episode of Dynamite was one of my favourite matches of that year. 

Kenny Omega and Don Callis offered Orange Cassidy a contract which states that he's forfeiting the AEW world championship.

They tried to persuade Cassidy to sign the contract and Cassidy's response was him tearing up the contract. 

Did The Inner Circle Accept the Pinnacle's Challenge? 

Pretty much, yes. The stipulation that if The Inner Circle loses then they disband, adds a bit of stakes in the Stadium Stampede bout and I like it. 

During Jade Cargill's promo with Tony Schiavone, she was encountered by an advocate/manager saying that he wants to put her stardom to the next level. 

Cargill doesn't need that loser. She's great with no need for an in-ring manager.  

Serena Deeb vs Red Velvet For The NWA Women's Championship. 

This match reminds me of how good Red Velvet is inside the squared circle. What a match that was. Serena Deeb retains with a half Boston crab. 

Anthony Ogogo vs Austin Gunn. 

This was all Ogogo thanks to his series of gut punches from the big man. 

Based on that awful promo from Cody and Anthony Ogogo's Twitter interactions, it sure does seem that Anthony Ogogo is the good guy in the feud instead of the other way around. 

Miro Thanks Jesus Christ For Giving The Big Man Strength. 

That line above sounded something that AJ Styles would say. Nevertheless, he told the world what Miro is capable of. 

Out came Lance Archer and Archer said that he'll make Miro his Bulgarian b*tch at Double Or Nothing.

An okay segment that didn't "wow" me or anything. Miro's booking has been excellent though and it was better late than never. 

The Young Bucks vs The Varsity Blondes For The AEW World Tag Team Championship. 

The Varsity Blondes have worked with guys like Kenny Omega to great results. 

It's amazing that two talented guys are finally getting a shine in the main event which has to be a special moment for Pillman Jr and Garrison. I enjoyed this championship contest for the most part. 

The Young Bucks retained to which Jonny Mox and Eddie Kingston attacked The Young Bucks and stole their awful-looking Nike shoes. 

So, to recap for all of you slow mofos. 

Like: The Young Bucks vs The Varsity Blondes For The AEW World Tag Team Championship, Serena Deeb vs Red Velvet For The NWA Women's Championship, Max Caster rules, Christian Cage vs Matt Sydal. 

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...

WWE Smackdown 14/1/22 | A Coherent Review.

WOAH, WOOOOOAH *Insert drums* BURN IT DOWN *insert more drums* Don't know why I just quoted Seth Rollins' theme song. Probably because I'm bored and have nothing else better to do on a Saturday afternoon (which explains the Smackdown review).  Now, how was the show? It was aight.  The Viking Raiders vs Angel And Humberto Carrillo vs Jinder Mahal And Shank vs Mansoor And Cesaro. Winner Gets A Blue Tag Belt Opportunity.  The best part about all of this was The Usos introduction of all 4 members. Gotta say, they're pretty natural at this and wouldn't mind them doing ring announcing full time.  The only thing they should avoid is threatening somebody with WWE lawyers.  The Viking Raiders won the whole thing and all I can say is, finally! No more Viking Raiders vs Happy Corbin and Madcap Moss matches.  Why WWE Be Messing With Sami Like That!?  That "InZayn" stunt show is sad to watch. He should've been doing so much better than trying to do knockoff Jacka**...

The 5 News Week: Bret Hart. The Next Guest On Stone Cold's Broken Skull Sessions?, WWE Made How Much From YouTube!?

We're back. Well, I'm back given that I do this all by myself but in any case, The 5 News Week has returned to your feeds wherever ever it may be. In case you're new here, basically, in one article I share the 5 major or minor news of the week. Now, there were a lot of news that I've missed in 3 weeks including a story of a WWE shareholder suing WWE and Vince McMahon (how the hell didn't I report about this?).  I'm rambling on so without further useless explanations, here are the 5 News Week.  Bret Hart. The Next Guest On Stone Cold's Broken Skull Sessions? Steve Austin has interviewed some of the wrestlers he has faced over the years on his Broken Skull Sessions show with the exception of Goldberg other than a few stare downs in a feud that everyone wishes to forget.  Another person that is no stranger to the rattlesnake is the hitman himself Bret Hart and he's reportedly the next guest. From PWInsider and Mike Johnson, Bret was in the City ...
