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.

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 ...

WWE RAW 5/10/20 | A Coherent Review.

I have not said this in a RAW review in a very long time but the show as a whole was straight up dogsh*t awful.  It's so bad that I didn't like one ounce about this program.  pictures via wwe.com Randy Orton Remembers His Match At Clash Of Champions.  The show started off with Randy Orton recalling certain aspects about the WWE championship match at Clash Of Champions.  Orton goes on to say that Drew doesn't deserve the championship because the legends interfered in the ambulance match.  The promo ended with Orton bringing up the fact that he beat up four legends last week on RAW (again, explain the physics behind this?).  Drew showed up and he laid waste on the guy.  Randy has been quite exceptional in the dialogue department but this ain't it.  The promo actually put me to sleep and the show didn't even hit 10 minutes up until that point.  If they suddenly end the rivalry like nothing happened, while it doesn't make sense, I'm all for it be...

WWE NXT UK Takeover: Cardiff | My Coherent Review.

via WWE I don't watch or review the first NXT UK Takeover for some odd reason but I'm so glad I did because that was like the main NXT Takeovers, was absolutely great to watch. I'm just speechless and if you have watched the show then you'll know why (also, if you somehow didn't watch this show, what are you doing? Go and treat yourself with some wrestling goodness.) Noam Dar vs Travis Banks.  A very enjoyable opening match. Noam Dar proves that he's great at what he does with so many submission holes because if you don't know, I'm a technical wrestling connoisseur. Noam Dar won the match with a standing shining wizard.  Cesaro vs Ilja Dragunov. Always great to see Cesaro do what he does best and that's a fight inside the square circle. So, Ilja called out Cesaro because Cesaro's looking for an open challenge and Cesaro obviously picked his challenger.  The Swiss Cyborg started off this match by throwing Dragunov to the outside ...
