WWE Hell In A Cell 2021 | A Coherent Review.

It is an odd choice to move a PPV that is traditionally slated for October to June. 

It makes sense to me considering that one, the weather is too damn hot and two, our world's current economics relies on profit rather than need. 

Sh*t, this is damn near hell on earth, my guys. 

All random tangents aside, how was the 2021 edition of Hell In A Cell? It was a decent/enjoyable 2 and half hours of professional wrestling. 

I would be lying though if I said that y'all should go out of their way to see this show because nothing actually notable happened here. 

I've not seen the tag match at the pre-show but based on the participants, I'm going to assume that the match was okay because ain't nobody praising it.

Bianca Belair vs Bayley For The SmackDown Women's Championship In A Hell In A Cell Match. 


Like I've said in my previous reviews, Bayley's psychotic laugh is scarier than anything that WWE tried to pull off with Alexa Bliss. 

I thought the opening exhibition was quite average. It didn't do anything to re-invigorate the Hell In A Cell structure. The bout felt like a standard no DQ match inside a cage. 

Bayley may have a chair in hand for some devastating offence but Bianca got something that's even more brutal. Her hair (no sh*t, Omar). 


It would be cool if Bianca used her hair to carry a chair or a kendo stick and whip it on Bayley (sh*t, I should be a producer bruh. What a genius idea). 

The former Smackdown women's champion did some damage to Belair's arm.

And that wasn't enough to defeat Bianca as the EST of WWE walked out of the final PPV on the Thunderdome still the champ. 


Bianca Belair comments on her match. Meanwhile, Alexa Bliss cut a promo saying the usual weird sh*t. 

Seth Rollins vs Cesaro. 


Before the bell had rung, Cesaro was attacked by the so-called "your" resident drip expert named Sethy. 

Their matches were nothing but bangers and this was no exception. 

Seth Rollins outwrestled the Swiss cyborg with an inside cradle from Rollins to win the match. 

A weird decision to make that will definitely lead to yet another rematch (that I don't mind, by the way). 

Shayna Baszler vs Alexa Bliss. 


It's that type of match which means hide your kids, grab your wife and better get outta sight otherwise Alexa Bliss will definitely utter the phrase, "Who do you voodoo, B*TCH!" 

To say that the match was weird, is an understatement. 

The woman had Nia Jax control Jax's hand and with the help of Bliss' voodoo a** powers, Jax legit b*tch slapped Reginald which made me laugh uncontrollably like a f**king psychopath. 

The laugh stems from the fact that everything surrounding the feud and the match itself is so darn bad. Bliss wins with the twisted Bliss. 

Kevin Owens vs Sami Zayn. 


Sami Zayn channelled his inner Ric Flair of some sort by selling that throw from Kevin Owens that had Zayn land on the top apron. 

The thing I love about this match is that I always find some innovative things about the match. 

For instance, the way Owens kicked out of a pin by moving his shoulder is such a brilliant booking decision. 

The bout was simply a fun encounter. Sami won here with the helluva kick and he honestly needed that W given that he's been losing a LOT as of late. 

Rhea Ripley vs Charlotte Flair For The RAW Women's Championship. 


I wasn't a fan of how this feud was constructed. Throughout the rivalry, Flair has been taking loss after loss even though the rivalry involves the women's championship. 

Those two women have great in-ring chemistry though and it was shown here. I thought both women delivered a great old school slow-paced match but that ending gave me a bad bitter taste in my mouth. 

Rhea Ripley used the top announce table cover to end the match via a DQ. 

I get that this was a way to protect yet another L from Flair but it was just an uncreatively path to execute that milestone. 

Drew McIntyre vs Bobby Lashley For The WWE Championship. 


The match started off way too slow but it picked up well midway through the match. 

They literally (pun intended) beat the holy hell out of each other. 

The outcome was a predictable one but the way the match had ended was so Goddamn lame. 

Really? A f**king roll up? It's like playing/enjoying the video game Cyberpunk 2077 only to get the Araska ending. It's so frustratedly awful. 

So, to recap for all of you slow mofos. 

Like: Rhea Ripley vs Charlotte Flair, Drew McIntyre vs Bobby Lashley (the matches itself), Sami Zayn vs Kevin Owens, Seth Rollins vs Cesaro. 

Didn't: The ending of both the Drew McIntyre and Bobby Lashley match and the Rhea Ripley and Charlotte Flair match, Shayna Baszler vs Alexa Bliss.

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 ...
