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 AEW Take: I Ain't Tellin' You No Lie, The Hook Brings You Back

PAGE AND BRYAN! HOOK! HOOK! HOOK! PAGE AND BRYAN! HOOK! HOOK! HOOK!  That's it. That's the intro.  Rampage.   Highlights.  HOOOOOOOOK!  I mean, I gotta support the man himself named Hook, DUHHH!  What can I say, I like a man that is built different, quick, agile and hard……..in professional wrestling, of course.  Suffice to say, Hook does something that Kalya Braxton doesn't and that is, making all biracials proud.  FTR vs Lucha Brothers for the AEW world tag team championship Two of the best tag teams I've ever witnessed as a wrestling fan (yes, they're THAT darn good) battling it out in an opening match so banging, not even your Beats headphone can replicate it, ya feel me?  The Lucha Brothers get to walk out of this episode of Rampage still as the reigning world tag champs.  Some Other Things That Happened.  Adam Cole defeated Wheeler Yuta - Adam Cole appreciation comment.  Dynamite.  Highlights.  Hangman Page...

Escape The Undertaker | A Short Coherent Review.

The internet. The only place where your YouTube recommended is filled with "I DON'T EVEN KNOW THAT'S PG".  It is also home to Netflix which released an interactive movie produced by future Raspberry award-winning movie studio, WWE films. Look, the idea of 3 black dudes being trapped inside a house by a white conservative dead hog, is offensive and by that description alone, you weren't sure for a sec whether you were watching Netflix or the Daily Wire.  Luckily, there wasn't a cameo from Tessa Blanchard so you should be fine.  As a fan of Mass Effect 2, I love some dialogue trees that alter the events of a movie/game.  And, from a functionality standpoint, it is a technical marvel how it gives the audience the illusion of choice (you know, like our current economic system).  I say "illusion" because therein lies the main problem I have with the film. Your choices don't matter here. Even in a WWE movie, they're still trying to avoid the fan...

WWE Smackdown Live 11/9/18 | My Coherent Review.

Smackdown live was overall a good show. Why you ask? Well, I'm gonna tell you what's good, what's ok and what's bad. Here we go.  WHAT'S GOOD Jeff Hardy vs Shinsuke Nakamura The promo before this was okay however that was a goooood match. Better than their in counter at SummerSlam. Jeff was about to beat Nakamura, however, randy outta nowhere pushes hardy on the outside hence Nakamura retains the championship and Jeff wins via DQ. They had a brawl that was better than the brawl last night on RAW I'll tell you that much.  Samoa Joe telling a bedtime story in a good not boring way.   I thought from the editing to the design of the book to the way Samoa Joe express the story was fantastic. The thing I LOVE about this is that it's a outside in the box type of promo package that worked. Man, I can't wait for this match. On Sunday night when the PPV airs, I think I'm gonna call my local "WENDYYYS" (My goodness that was awfu...
