WWE NXT 1/6/21 | A Coherent Review.

Hey, look. NXT just delivered yet another enjoyable wrestling show.

Kyle O'Reilly vs Pete Dunne vs Johnny Gargano. Number One Contender's Match For The NXT Championship. 


NXT started off the program with a high profiled, action-packed encounter that I heavily enjoyed. 

Adam Cole with the "doomer mentality" took out everyone in the match which led to William Regal along with a bunch of security guards, stopping Cole from additional attack. 

Later in the night, Adam Cole got a word with the NXT champion Karrion Kross and he basically said, "I'm just……..better than you, bro". 


Kross responded saying that he wants to face EVERYONE in that number one contender’s match. 

Cole's unapologetic confidence was the highlight of the episode. 

Yes, he hasn't won a lot of matches to get to the champion scene in the first place but the way NXT told that story somehow made sense. 

Ember Moon Calls Out Raquel Gonzalez Then…….


Ember managed to nail Gonzalez with a series of kicks onto the champ's face. Speaking of kicks, Ember received some from Dakota Kai. 

Ember Moon's backstage promo, confirms that we're getting a women's championship between Ember Moon And Raquel Gonzalez and I do not hate it at all. 

I think Ember is a great opponent for the champ, to be honest. 

LA Knight vs Jake Atlas. 


LA Knight is going back to his losing ways as seen in this match taking an L thanks to an impressive looking top rope from Jake Atlas. 


In a video scene from Xia Li (that rhymed for some reason), Li stated that she doesn't forget the way Mercedes Martinez disrespected her going back to their first encounter at the first-ever Mae Young Classic. 

Martinez responded to that promo saying that she'll beat her at Takeover: In Your House 2 just like Mae Young Classic. I love the use of continuity in their promos. It enhances the feud. 

Kushida vs Carmelo Hayes For The Cruiserweight Championship. 


This is the first time I'm seeing Carmelo wrestle and he's really goooooood. The match was a bit short yet fun to watch. Kushida retains the championship. 


Franky Monet is reading all of the glowing reviews of her "world premiere". The woman is f**king good at her job so I agree with all of the positive takes about her. 

Seeing the Diamond Mine vignettes and I honestly do not know who it is but I'm pretty sure it isn't Parker Bordeaux. 

The Way In Candice LeRae And Indi Hartwell vs Zoey Stark And Zayda Ramier. 

The bout was okay. Nothing too notable happened in this. After defeating the team of Stark and Ramier, LeRae told Indi Hartwell to forget about Dexter Lumis. 

*Whispering "calm down, Omar". It's not worth the anger”*. 

Msk vs Legado De La Fantasma For The NXT Tag Team Championship. 


A fantastic tag team title match with a lot of exciting high spots. 

The shenanigans outside the ring from Bronson Reed and Santos Escobar did not stop Msk from walking out of the CWC still as the tag team champions. 

So, to recap for all of you slow mofos. 

Like: Adam Cole’s character arc, Msk vs Legado De La Fantasma For The NXT Tag Team Championship, A nice use of continuity in the Xia Li and Mercedes Martinez promos, Carmelo Hayes is a gooooood wrestler, Kyle O'Reilly vs Pete Dunne vs Johnny Gargano. Number One Contender's Match For The NXT Championship.

Didn't like: LA Knight losing.

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...

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 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...
