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.

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...

The 5 News Week: An Interview With ROH's Eli Isom, Fans Singing Petitions For Charlotte Flair Not Winning Titles Anymore!?

Hello, my fellow wrestling fans and welcome to the 5 news week. The post where I report 5 major or minor news of the week that I don't have time to do it separately. Without further ado, here are the 5 news week. An Interview With ROH's Eli Isom.  Yes. After several and several and several of The 5 News Week articles that I've been putting out since late 2018, I finally got an interview for you guys.  The person in question is Ring Of Honour's Eli Isom. Since graduating from the ROH Dojo, Isom has worked and learned from the absolute best in the industry:  "I’m lucky that I got a chance to train from scratch with ROH, without that kind of training who knows where I’d be right now." So, without further ado, here is the conversation I had with Eli.  Omar: My first question is, how would you describe the persona of "Eli Isom" to resident WWE shills like myself? Eli Isom: For me, my wrestling persona isn’t too far off from who I real...

A Brief Guide To Pro Wrestling Websites.

So. You just become a fan of pro wrestling and have dabbled into the fandom for a bit (it's a mess ain't it?) You've just followed some news sites' social media platforms but aren't sure whether the articles they put out are accurate or not.  Well, you got the right guy to solve that problem if it's from a blog that barely gets any traction (that would be me in case you were confused).  The news we get from the medium that is pro wrestling is an integral part of the online space.  The reason being is that it's not only a great conversation starter but you could also learn something new today about the industry you love.  That doesn't mean that all of the news you see on the timeline is reliable.  I'm here to hopefully give you a guide to wrestling sites.  There are many wrestling websites out there but I wanna highlight some of the notable ones.  Okay? Here we go.  #1: Wrestling Observer Newsletter aka F4WOnline.  I can't talk about a guide t...
