WWE NXT 15/6/21 | A Coherent Review.

This is probably one of the best wrestling TV episodes of the year. I had fun watching NXT this week from start to finish and here's why.

William Regal Encountered A Familiar Individual. 

Karrion Kross with his antagonising promo towards Regal, proves to all of the people that said, "iS kRoss a hEEl oR A bAbYfAce!?" That the dude is indeed portraying himself as a piece of shite. 

Out came the returning Samoa Joe and he was offered by Willaim Regal to be an enforcer. Regal was about to quit but Joe's presence got him to change his mind. 

It is so oddly nostalgic to hear Samoa Joe utter William Regal's name like that. While it had a predictable outcome (those God damn dirt sheets ruining everything including my entertainment for some reason), the segment did just do one thing. 

It simply put a smile on my face. I think it would be extra cool if they replaced Regal with Samoa Joe as GM but I ain't complaining.

Breezango vs Imperium. 

Nice to see some decent tag team action that showcases what their tag team division is all about. 

Breezango won the match with an inside cradle to which they were immediately attacked *Michael Cole's voice* from behind to get their heat back of some sort. 


In Samoa Joe's first task as an enforcer, he broke up a brawl between Adam Cole and Kyle O'Reilly. Joe chokes Cole out with the coquina clutch. 

If a principal had an enforcer like Samoa Joe, I'm pretty certain that they wouldn't be a school fight anymore because man, Samoa Joe is intimating as f**k. 


Santos Escobar wants Bronson Reed to challenge him for the North American championship. 

Bruh, you just lost. What makes you think WWE would give you a championship opportunity? It's not like they've never done that before, right!? 

There's a battery logo shown in a teaser of a vignette and honestly, I have no idea who it is for. 

Kushida vs Trey Baxter For The Cruiserweight Championship. 

Hey, look. This was a fun cruiserweight championship match. Kyle O'Reilly was watching Kushida defeat Baxter on the entrance ramp. O'Reilly challenged Kushida to an exhibition next week.  

Oh my God. Oh my God. Oh my God. I think I just came. I've been waiting for this match since Kushida showed up to NXT. 

The fact that it didn't happen sooner is a crime but I'm definitely looking forward to the match. 

In a backstage promo, Mercedes Martinez wasn't having it with Tian Sha, saying that she's beat anyone involved with Sha. 


Franky Monet was telling Aliyah and Jessi Kamea that Robert Stone is holding them back as performers. 

The turn is happening guys. Please credit this site for more scoops that have obvious conclusions! 

Raquel Gonzalez And Dakota Kai vs Kacy Catanzaro And Kayden Carter. 

The bad guys won. It's as predictable as anything really. 

LA Knight Turns On Ted Dibiase. 

LA Knight gave a speech that respected the million dollar man only to do the exact opposite with a beatdown onto the old man in a typical heel move. 

Cameron Grimes immediately showed up to the rescue and threw LA Knight out of the ring. 

Yo, am I actually buying Grimes as a babyface because that's exactly how I'm feeling right now (get it? Buying? Million dollar man? Million dollar championship?)? 

Speaking of people coming to the rescue, Io Shirai was attacked by Candice LeRae and Indi Hartwell but Io was rescued by her newly formed acquaintance, Zoey Stark. 

I'm quite impressed by the idea of this feud ever since that scene took place. It gives all of these women something to do and the rescue at the end was a great example of long term storytelling kinda paying it off. 

The so-called "Diamond Mine" has been delivering vignettes for weeks now and it's announced that the Diamond Mine is coming next week. Will see what happens. 

Tommaso Ciampa and Timothy Thatcher vs Grizzled Young Veterans In A Tornado Tag Team Match. 

Hey, look. A great match has happened, people! The team of Ciampa and Timothy Thatcher wins here. 

Maybe this might lead to a feud with the NXT tag team champions? 

So, to recap for all of you slow mofos. 

Like: Samoa Joe, the tornado tag team match, the Io Shirai/Zoey Stark/The Way feud, Cameron Grimes as a babyface, Kushida vs Trey Baxter. 

Didn't like: Nothing.

WWE Smackdown Season Premiere | A Coherent Review.

  It is the season premiere of Friday night Smackdown even though WWE doesn't have an offseason.  Nevertheless, it was a decent program and had a WAY better ending than whatever the hell of an ending last year's premiere of Friday night Smackdown showed.  There isn't a women's match this week and all of the AEW fanboys are looking at this like, "sEe, WWE dOeSn't feATuRe wOmeN'S mAtChEs aLsO."  pictures via WWE.com The Season Premiere Of Smackdown 2020.  The show started off with Triple H and Stephanie McMahon highlighting the scheduled matches for Smackdown as well as the superstars.  Chaos then ensued thanks to a huge brawl. Then, the "super freak" Lars Sullivan came out and delivered the freak accident to Shorty G.  Somehow, Jeff Hardy attacked him and that led to the opening match of the night between Lars and Jeff.  You know, I'm kind of surprised that two white people in McMahon and Hemsley knew who Rick James is.  Maybe I'm igno...

The Coherent Wrestling Wednesdays: Fyter Fest 2020 Came Back Swinging?

Last week, on this very series, I said that I enjoyed Great American Bash better than Fyter Fest.  Well, this week is the exact opposite. AEW came in swinging with night 2 Fyter Fest.  I've not liked a Dynamite episode in several weeks so it's nice to see that the show finally executed a great show since God knows how long.   NXT      Highlights (at least in my opinion because wrestling is subjective).  Mia Yim vs Candice LeRae In A Street Fight. The match went underway after Yim quickly attacked Candice LeRae during LeRae's entrance.  In the crowd area, Candice tried to nail the suplex on the table but Yim got out of that position and kicked her to which she landed through the table.  The Streetfight concluded with LeRae striking Yim with the brass knuckles followed by a swinging neck from the top of the table onto a bunch of chairs and that's how LeRae defeats the HBIC.  A fun opening match even though...

THE Coherent AEW Take: Christian Dior, Dior. Eddie Kingston up in all the stores!

Ever since AEW Dynamite was on Saturday night for a bit, I've been WAY behind on AEW content so excuse my ignorance. And It's Full Gear weekend which means another PPV that would last longer than the Snyder cut.  Sheeit, I'll bet the collar and elbow hold alone from the Hangman Page and Kenny Omega championship match, is longer than the entire Queen's Crown tournament.  As far as how I feel about both programs this week, well.  They did an okay job on building towards the final AEW PPV of the year this Saturday. Rampage.   Highlights.  Bryan Danielson vs Anthony Bowens.  And no, the highlight doesn't include Max Caster's verses. I'll rather listen to f**king Riff Raff than Max Caster's dig on anything.  The worst part, people are probably going to look at this and say, "can't wait for a Max Caster's appearance on Wild 'N Out!"  With that being said, this opening match was good. Danielson wins with the rebel lock.  Eddie Kingston (wi...
