AEW Dynamite Blood And Guts | A Coherent Review.

Another watchable episode of AEW Dynamite but this time, it features the first-ever Blood And Guts encounter.

Kenny Omega And Michael Nakazawa vs Jon Moxley And Eddie Kingston. 

Don Callis announced that Michael Nakazawa is going to face Mox and Kingston all by himself only for Kenny Omega to show up and compete in the match anyway. 

A weird booking choice but I'm just nitpicking. 

What wasn't weird was how the match ended with a double team dragon suplex into a clothesline from the duo of Mox and Kingston to Nakazawa. 

Then, a beatdown ensued from Omega's Posse to Jonny Mox and Eddie Kingston. The Young Bucks vs Jon Moxley and Eddie Kingston? I'm down. 

It was revealed later in the night that a number one contenders match for the AEW championship is set up for next week's show between Orange Cassidy and Pac.

I'm assuming AEW is saving the Hangman Page and Kenny Omega encounter for All Out? 

Either way, AEW has the potential to tell an interesting story of either winner of the number one contender match. Don't f**k it up, Tony! 

Cody Rhodes vs QT Marshall. 

Those two guys didn't waste any time brawling with each other. 

They had a good old fashioned wrestling match sprinkled in with some offensives from Arn Anderson to QT Marshall and I enjoyed it. 

In other words, this is a wrestling fan's match (not trying to be a gatekeeper. I'm just stating that it's a good call back to the matches of 30/35 years ago). 

After Cody Rhodes defeated QT Marshall, Rhodes took a beating from Anthony Ogogo thanks to the least controversial move in wrestling. 


In a backstage interview with Alex Marvez, Scorpio Sky said, "Riddle me this, riddle me that, who's afraid of the big, black bat?" Obviously referring to Sting. 

Out of ALL movies Scorpio has quoted, why Batman Forever? Sky could've used a  quote from a much superior Batman movie aka Batman And Robin. 

Darby Allin interfered in the backstage interview but that came at a cost as he was thrown on to concrete stairs. 

Britt Baker squashed a local competitor named Julia Hart and there's nothing to write home about. 

The Jurassic Express vs SCU vs The Acclaimed vs Varsity Blondes. Winner Faces The Young Bucks For The AEW World Tag Team Championship Next Week. 

A decent match overall. Side note, The Acclaimed's Max Caster needs to chill with his weekly disses like sheeesh, they were brutal. 

SCU picked up the victory and will go on to face The Jackson brothers for the tag belts. 


A video promo had aired about Jonny Mox's match with Yugi Nagata for the IWGP United States championship.

I am the resident WWE shill but this one actually made me look forward to the title bout next week. 

The power of video packages, am I right?

Miro is challenging Darby Allin for the TNT championship on next week's episode of Dynamite. 

Miro's portrayal as a beast has been nothing more than fantastic. This is the Miro I've been wanting since his arrival last year. 

It Is Time For BLOOD AND GUTS And…………….. 

It was…….fine. The blood was definitely there in this match. The "guts'' part? Well, that's a definite no.

The bad guys prevailed at the end due to the rest of the Inner Circle surrendered after witnessing MJF wanting to push Chris Jericho through the entrance ramp but the kid did it anyway. 

I wanna briefly talk about people's reaction to Chris Jericho's bump from the top of the cage.

Yes, I do believe that the spot could've used a better camera angle.

However, the way people on Twitter reacted to the spot was TOO overblown like as if the world is about to end. 

Mistakes happen during production especially when you're filming a live televised event on a weekly basis. 

Also, to all the people that were mad at Shotzi Blackheart's tweet, it's just wrestling guys. It ain't that deep. 

Also, also, to all the people that LITERALLY WANTED a 50-year-old Chris Jericho falling on concrete, one, y'all are INSANE and two, it's just wrestling. It ain't that deep. 

So, to recap for all of you slow mofos. 

Like: Cody vs QT Marshall, the video package for the Jon Moxley and Yugi Nagata match. 

Didn't like: The odd booking decision early in the Jon Moxley, Eddie Kingston, Kenny Omega and Michael Nakazawa match, the ending of the Blood And Guts match could've utilized a better camera angle.

Are Dirtsheets The Wrestling Version Of Tabloids?

A month ago, I was listening to the prince and the wolf podcast   with comedian Josh Wolf and actor/former WWE writer himself Freddie Prince Jr. In it, they had now seven-time women's champion Charlotte as their guest and she talked about life, how she got into professional wrestling but the most interesting part about this interview is that when Wolf asked: "what is dirtsheets?" Freddie replied by saying that it's basically tabloids. Is he wrong or is he right? Well, let's look at history.  Dirtsheets have spanned over 5 decades and it is still going strong to this very day and was given the name "Dirtsheets" to get "Inside dirt" in the wrestling business in a printed format or in a modern online site. Hence, the name dirtsheet.  The earliest form of dirtsheets was in the 60s where a woman by the name of Georgiann Makropoulos who herself started a monthly newsletter called "The Wrestling Chatterbox" after writing articles on wr...

WWE Money In The Bank 2021 | A Coherent Review

Last year's Money In The Bank show was one of my all-time favourites. You wanna know why?  It's because it ended in 2 hours and 10 minutes. As a guy with an intensive full-time job, that alone has to be the reason why 2020 MITB is a great show.  How did this year's show hold up? Well, it was quite simply, an enjoyable 3-hour program.  I had my so-called "money's worth" after watching this PPV.  Oh, and the Smackdown tag team championship match was aye okay.  Images via WWE.com   Women's Money In The Bank Ladder Match.  You would think that Alexa Bliss would've won this match considering that she has voodoo powers, right?  But, I can't pull the "white dude that complains about logic in a subject piece of entertainment" because this match was probably one of the best multi-person ladder matches I've seen in quite some time.  Nikki A.S.H overcame the odds like a good superhero story would tell by winning the briefcase.  Given that she...

A Guide On How To Improve Wrestling Criticism.

Now, before you all verbally eat me alive like a hippopotamus (yes hippos eat humans, look that up), understand that I’m just an average dude writing about pro wrestling and doesn’t claim to be an expert in anything and that includes professional wrestling (except cooking. I’m damn good at cooking).  However, what I’ve been discovering as a pro wrestling blogger for over a year is that there are some wrestling criticism out there that just make me wanna scratch my head to the point where my hands turn into an electric shaver if that makes sense. For instance, “Why is Ricochet’s trunks red instead of white?” or “Why’s Andrade wearing his Luchador mask for his entrance every week?”  In other words, they’re nitpicking and trust me I do that ALL THE TIME in my wrestling reviews. There’s nothing wrong with nitpicking certain things but the difference is that I acknowledge that I’m nitpicking and those guys clearly don’t.  There are fans out there on the interweb that b...
