NXT Takeover 36 | A Coherent Review.

NXT has once again delivered 2 and a half hours of professional wrestling that I couldn't complain about.

The program had a clear goal, simply deliver.

Oh, and there was a match at the pre-show which I haven't seen of course.

Cameron Grimes vs LA Knight For The Million Dollar Championship.

The yellow brand gave those guys some TIIIIIIIME!

I didn't expect the bout to be this fast-paced. What a darn opener.

Thanks to the million-dollar man himself, Ted Dibiase, Cameron Grimes picked up the million-dollar championship as a result of winning the match.

Raquel Gonzalez vs Dakota Kai For The NXT Women's Championship.

I've been very critical of the build going into Takeover due to the fact that the "best friends now bitter rivals" narrative was executed in the most generic way possible.

Did this match deliver though? Not really but it was decent for what it was.

Gonzalez retained the title with an avalanche chingona bomb to which NXT UK's Kay Lee Ray showed up and stared at the women's championship.

Finally, something different for good measure!

Walter vs Ilja Dragunov For The NXT UK Championship.

A match that I was most looking forward to because of their brutal first encounter 10 months ago for the same championship competed here.

And I'm happy to say that the match was GOOD, GOOD, GOOD!

Despite Ilja Dragunov taking in some good old fashioned beating from the big man, Dragunov somehow defeated Walter (with a sleeper hold that made Walter quickly tap out) and became the new UK champion.

Again, what a f**king match.

Adam Cole vs Kyle O'Reilly In A 2 Out Of 3 Falls Match.

How 2019 of NXT to call this encounter a 2 out of 3 falls match instead of a 3 stages of hell match (yes, I'm repeating the same jokes because it's funny)?

Nevertheless, the 3 fall exhibition bout wasn't as good as their second match at the Great American Bash but I enjoyed it as a whole.

O'Reilly quickly picked up the first fall which led to Coley Adam Bay Bay getting the second fall victory.

The third fall was taken by Kyle O'Reilly in a steel cage match.

Will see where Adam Cole goes from here and whether he stays with world wrestling entertainment or not (I think he does but anything is possible in this greed inducing world that we live in).

Samoa Joe vs Karrion Kross For The NXT Championship.

By far, the best part about this match was the FREAKING MUSCLE BUSTER IS BACK! I legit marked out after seeing that move.

I know this is the zoomer in me talking but it literally feels like a throwback at this point because we haven't seen this move in 4 or so years.

That finishing manoeuvre is how Samoa Joe became the first-ever 3-time NXT champion.

See you in main roster pugartory, Karrion Kross. I'm sure you'll have a great undefeated streak. You know,

So, to recap for all of you slow mofos.

Like: Pretty much every single match.

Didn't like: It's a Takeover show, my guy.

WWE Smackdown Live 28/8/18 | My Coherent Review.

Overall, Smackdown Live was better than RAW in terms of having a somewhat good ending. Why you ask? Well, I'm gonna give you what's good, what's ok and the bad parts about this show were none in my opinion. Without further ado, this is my coherent, honest review of this week's Smackdown Live. WHAT'S GOOD New day's celebration You have the new day celebration with their interaction with booker T and the addition of the spinaroonie or the spinaroonie, in this case, was entertaining and an odd but amusing opening segment. Daniel Bryan vs Andrade "Cien" almas Daniel Bryan's promo with Brie Bella by his side was like the Naomi vs Billie Kay match, it was there. However, the match itself was pretty good in my opinion. That chop by almas looked brutal bro like damn. Daniel Bryan wins Via DQ by miz beating him, almas hitting the hammerlock DDT, Maryse hitting a brutal looking DDT to brie bella and then miz hitting the skull cru

WWE Smackdown 14/2/20 | My Coherent Review.

Last night was my 2nd anniversary of pumping out written content on this site and I thought since this show has delivered 6 or sometimes 3 out of 10s for 4 months now, I've written some lyrics about my thoughts on Smackdown in the style of the current song opening for the blue brand. If you wanna put the instrumental version of ACDC's Are You Ready while reading this then that's cool too. *Cue the intro* Are you Ready? Are you ready for mediocrity! Then, get ready for disappointment. No one needs it. No one needs it. No one needs it. Even Bischoff. Are you ready for mediocrity! *ends with some guitar solos*. The lyrics may suck but it is at least better than whatever the hell Justin Bieber meant when he sang his current single "Yummy". Now, on with the review. The Return Of A Moment Of Bliss (Unlike The Return Of The Dirt Sheets, Nobody Really Cares). Both Bliss and Nikki Cross talked about their c

WWE RAW 6/7/20 | A Coherent Review.

This episode of RAW actually made me look forward to Extreme Rules and that's something WWE doesn't do all that well in recent years. It was a great effort by the powers that be. Dolph Ziggler Picks The Stipulation For The WWE Championship At Extreme Rules: The Horror Show. McIntyre is waiting for Dolph Ziggler to pick the stipulation for their championship match at Extreme Rules. Drew got his wish as Dolph Ziggler said that Drew has been stabbing people in the back and that includes the person that Ziggler brought up but not verbally, Heath Slater. In a very emotional promo, Slater told his former 3MB mate that he was there for Drew McIntyre when Drew was fired from WWE in 2014 but the Scotsmen wasn't there for Slater when he was fired this year. So, the one-man-band challenged him to a match and the WWE champion accepted. How was the match? It was a squash bout. Drew wins with the claymore to which Ziggler was picking on Heath and Mc
