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.

WWE Smackdown 17/12/21 | A Coherent Review.

Another week, another meh episode of Smackdown although the ending was pretty eye-opening.  Images via WWE.com   The Viking Raiders vs Jinder Mahal And Shanky.  After a backstage segment that included The Usos roasting Xavier Woods' kingship, the blue brand really started the show with a match (not this one) which is a rare thing to see on main roster television. And the match wasn't bad at all.  The Viking Raider defeated the team of Jinder and Shanky with a splash from Ivor. Does everyone want a Happy Corbin segment? Well, no and Drew McIntyre agrees as he took out Corbin and Madcap Moss to retrieve his sword which sounds like a bad King Arthur comedy flick or something.  Naomi Wants A Match With Sonya Deville.  Naomi is upset at how Sonya Deville acted like a Susan over the past few months so the glow queen challenged the actual manager to a match at Day 1 and Sonya was like, "Ahhhh, no".  Naomi then had a match with Shayna Baszler and within minute...

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...

NXT Takeover Phoenix | My Coherent Review.

NXT Takeover was a great show with great wrestling, energetic crowd and intriguing storytelling (OMG, REALLY? I didn’t know that).  War Raiders vs The Undisputed Era (Kyle O’ Reilly and Roderick Strong) for the NXT Tag Team Championship.  First off, cool entrance by War Raiders. Secondly, the match was entertaining. At one point, Strong did a superplex to Hanson. The match ended with War Raiders delivered the Fallout to Kyle O ‘Reilly and won the match. War Raiders are the new NXT Tag Team Champions deservedly so.  Matt Riddle vs Kassius Ohno. During the match, Ohno hit Riddle right on his mouth which absolutely looked brutal. Minutes after that, Riddle hits Ohno with series of elbow strikes which made Ohno tap out and won the match. A very unique finish but nevertheless, this was a decent match.  Johnny Gargano vs Ricochet for the NXT North American Championship.  Those guys put on the absolute clinic of a wrestling match. But that ending ...
