WWE NXT 29/6/21 | A Coherent Review

Does NXT continue to be the best weekly episodic wrestling show out right now?? Yes.

Shotzi Blackheart And Ember Moon vs Dakota Kai And Raquel Gonzalez vs Io Shirai And Zoey Stark. Winner Gets An NXT Women's Tag Team Championship Opportunity. 


This multi-person screams the sentence, "quick-paced chaos". This match didn't have a dull moment and that's what differs from the rest of the program that features multi-person tag team matches, ya know what I mean? 

Io Shirai's beautiful moonsault on Dakota Kai, led her partner Zoey Stark to victory along with a championship opportunity which should be a fun bout. 

Johnny Gargano attacked Karrion Kross from behind. Later in the episode, Kross called out Gargano inside the CWC. The champ was sidelined with an attack once again by The Way's Austin Theory and it was followed by a brawl. 

Don't mind the idea of this feud because I know for a fact that they'll pull off a very enjoyable match. 

Roderick Strong vs Asher Hale.


Aka Roderick Strong's re-debut of some sort and he didn't miss a tone. It's as if Roderick has been wrestling on a weekly basis for several weeks now even though he hasn't been on TV in a few months. 

Strong prevailed with a modified armbar (I'm not an expert on wrestling moves so to the two of you that reads this, don't come on here and shout, "OMG. YOU DIDN'T KNOW WHAT A SHIN BREAKER IS?) 

The NXT breakout tournament is coming back and it begins on July 13th. 

It's pretty eye-opening that all of the participants in the first-ever tournament were shown on the promotional ad except for one. 

Cameron Grimes vs Ari Sterling. 


Speaking of participants in the NXT breakout tournament. The match was fine. Grimes defeated Sterling to which the redneck goofball called out LA Knight for a rematch next week. 

The million-dollar champion was in favour of a rematch under the condition that if Cameron Grimes loses then Grimes will be LA Knight's Alfred (butler for you uncultured folks). 

Samoa Joe Does His Usual Enforcing. 


Joe lets Adam Cole and Kyle O'Reilly talk while Samoa Joe stands there to make sure both guys do not lay hands on each other. 

Of course, Joe's plan didn't go as it was initially thought as both dudes had a bit of a brawl. 

Seeing how Joe treated Cole compared to O'Reilly, I'm hoping this tease leads to an eventual match later down the road. 


Another set of competitors that had a war of words with each other was Msk, Tommaso Ciampa, and Timothy Thatcher before their title encounter at NXT's Great American Bash PPV. 

Sarray asks William Regal if she can face Toni Storm in an exhibition. Sign me up! 

Mercedes Martinez And Jake Atlas vs Xia Li And Boa. 


Martinez took a nasty kick from Xia Li and Martinez landed awkwardly. 

I'm hoping Martinez makes a speedy recovery because it looked scary. Because of that kick, the match ended by stoppage. 

Bronson Reed vs Isiah Swerve Scott For The North American Championship. 


Isiah Swerve Scott just became and that, unfortunately, is how Bronson Reed's short run as North American champion came to an end. 

Based on the shenanigans on the outside by the rest of Hit Row, we may get a rematch of sorts but will see what happens. 

It's disappointing that Reed didn't do much with that run but I can't complain that Swerve Scott is finally getting some shine. Good on him. 

So, to recap for all of you slow mofos. 

Like: Isiah Swerve Scott's championship win, the number one contender's 6 women match for the NXT women's tag team championship. 

Didn't like: Nothing really.

WWE Smackdown 21/1/22 | A Coherent Review.

  Another week, another time Pat McAfee shows me why he's better than Corey Graves. Both in the ring AND on the commentary table.  As far as how I feel about this week's episode, it ain't good, people. It ain't good.  An Image via WWE.com   Sethy Mane Wanted A Tag Partner So….………. That he faces The Usos later in the show and if drippy Jesus wins, 2 out of 3 members of the Bloodline are barred off ringside in the blue title encounter (in case you were wondering, Kevin Owens was Seth's tag partner).  BUTTTTTTTTTTTT! The tribal chief had other ideas. He proposed a pitch where if the "burn it down" man loses the tag match, the Rumble match is gone, FINITO!  Bully Ray probably saw Seth Rollins' uttering Jox Moxley's name and reacted, "HOW DARE YOU!! BLASPHEMY!"  Fortunately for SR The Drip Mane, he got what he wanted via a DQ finish thanks to a superman punch from Roman Reigns. While the ending did protect the tag champs, the consequences of i...

A Few Thoughts On RAW And Smackdown: RAW wasn't GREAT!?

  Since this blog will be less of a priority now considering I'm focusing on my podcast now (hit the 5 stars on Apple Podcast you sons of b*tches), I decided to share my few thoughts on RAW, Smackdown, I guess?  Smackdown.  The blue brand delivered yet another good episode this week and it's probably due to the fact that Braun Strowman taking out the Maximum Model is high-key funny as f**k.  The folks over at Titan Towers are bringing back the essence of their characters whether it's Kevin Owens, Shayna Baszler or in this case, Big Braun himself.   As a fan, you gotta love it, especially since in the case of Strowman, the dude hasn't been the same since he turned heel 4 years ago when feuding with Roman Reigns for the universal title.   Other noteworthy segments include Logan Paul challenging Roman Reigns for the big world universal multiverse galactic cinematic championship.  Imagine they pulled that match off 7 years ago back when Logan was on V...

WWE Smackdown 17/7/20 | A Coherent Review.

This recent instalment of Smackdown was decent.  The women, for the most part, was the standout in this program and it honestly carried the show from a meh to a decent watch.  The show started off with Jeff Hardy and Sheamus talking about the upcoming bar fight which you can scroll down to read my thoughts on it.  Sasha Banks and Bayley Gives Us A New Perspective Of The Word "Greatness".  The so-called "golden role models" were praising their greatness to which Nikki Cross was furious about the way she lost at Extreme Rules.  So, Nikki wanted a rematch for the SmackDown women's championship and Bayley accepted that bout if Nikki faces her best friend, Alexa Bliss to determine the number one contender.  That match started immediately after this segment and it was a good opener.  Bayley and Sasha Banks were entertaining in the commentary as per usual.  When Corey Graves brought the fact that Bayley didn't want t...
