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 RAW 7/1/19 | My Coherent Review

My first RAW review of 2019 and surprisingly, this show was decent. Now, would RAW put on decent shows in the coming weeks or months? Probably not but I hope that's the case. Now, usually on my RAW and Smackdown Live reviews, I give my thoughts on what's good, what's ok and what bad ( click here if you curious as to how the format looks like). However, since this is the new year, I'm gonna get rid of that and instead just put my in-depth thoughts just like my PPV reviews. Without further ado, on with the review.  Opening Segment The show itself started off with a brawl between Seth Rollins and Bobby Lashley that lasted for a very short period of time. After that’s done, the opening segment started with John Cena and cuts a promo on how he’s gonna earn his golden ticket to Wrestlemania by entering in this year’s Royal Rumble match.  Out came Drew McIntyre and he said that Cena’s accomplishments is what Drew cares about. He then went on how he’s b...

The 5 News Week: The Current Plan For Eva Marie According To Reports.

Hello, my fellow wrestling fans and welcome to the 5 news week. The post where I report 5 major or minor pro wrestling news, rumours and spoilers of the week that I don't have time to do it separately.  Without further ado, here are the 5 news week.  What’s Going On With The ShowBuzz Daily Website!? Dave Meltzer on the Wrestling Observer has expressed concern regarding Showbuzz Daily not posting the daily TV rating due to technical issues stating (from Cagesideseats ) "all wrestling companies, TV companies, sports stations, etc. looked to that site for numbers.” The owner of the Showbuzz Daily entity, Mitch Metcalf, took to the blue hell that is Twitter and said that they can't add content to the site anymore over a shutdown that isn't clear as to what caused the shutdown itself.  Metcalf went on to highlight that due to operating the site without generating revenue, the cost and time to bring back the site has made him think about the future of ShowBuzz Daily.  Is...

WWE Super Showdown 2020 | My Coherent Review.

Super showdown 2020 was dull, boring and even frustrating at times. The two previous Saudi shows from last year were surprisingly okay but this was just a flavourless taste in my mouth and this is coming from the resident WWE shill. By far, the worst PPV of 2020 so far.  PRESHOW: The Viking Raiders vs The O.C. In Luke Gallows And Karl Anderson.  A skippable match that we've seen for the gazillionth time. Yay for unwanted repetition! The O.C wins. Cool.  MAIN-SHOW: AJ Styles vs. Andrade vs. Bobby Lashley vs. Erick Rowan vs. R-Truth vs. Rey Mysterio. Gauntlet Match for the Tuwaiq Trophy.  R Truth and Bobby Lashley started off this match and Truth wins via a roll-up. Lashley then attacks R Truth (like we've not seen that spot before) to which out came the second opponent of the night, the returning Andrade and the way that encounter ended was odd yet somehow not horrible.  Both men hit each other with their heads and Truth pins the guy to keep fight...
