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.

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...

The 5 News Week: Master P Buying House Of Glory!?, NXT TV To Air In Different Arenas!?

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 . Sorry for not posting in two days. Just some personal stuff I gotta deal with and my Coherent Wednesdays review was a bit rushed and I want to nail it in a no pun intended, coherent matter if that makes any sense? Hopefully, my reviews will get better in the coming weeks.  Master P Buying House Of Glory!?  A great example of human beings having an unpredictable nature to them (ask Vince McMahon), Master P was interviewed somewhere in Manhattan and he announced that he has brought an independent wrestling promotion based in New York called House Of Glory or HOG which was founded by Brian XL and Impact Alumni Amazing Red in 2014.  PWInsider and Mike Johnson gave an update to this story stating that Master P will deliver the "muscle and production team" goi...

WWE NXT 17/7/19 | My Coherent Review.

I didn't feel anything about this show overall besides one very good match and an impactful debut. Here's why.  Matt Riddle vs Arturo Ruas.  Those two guys have a background in MMA so it was really interesting as to how the match turned out. Started out with some technical wrestling which if you've been a follower of this blog then you'll know how much I LOVE technical submission wrestling.   The match ended with Matt Riddle delivering a series of rights and the ref stopped it which means that Matt won the match. After that, a masked man revealed as Killan Dan was beating the crap out of him and it was so bad that Mauro Ranallo screamed "Mamma Mia" on top of his lungs which is pretty rare. I actually really liked this. It's a different way to debut somebody and insert that person quickly in a feud instead of having that superstar wrestle in so many squash matches which I don't mind if they went in that route.  The Street Profits ...
