The Coherent AEW Take: A Great Debut Wrestling Episode Ever?

If you can't tell already, this is the first-ever article of THE Coherent AEW Take where I simply recap the two flagship shows for the elite brand. 

The show named after a movie that nobody saw and the show named after a song straight outta 2010 (shout out to Taio Cruz) aka Rampage and Dynamite. 

What are my overall thoughts? I had a good time watching both shows. The AEW crowd is literally the best thing about those shows. 

By the way, one hour shows f'ing rules. 

So, let's get into it, ya smarks. 

Rampage. 

Highlights. 

Christian Cage Wins The Impact And The TNA Title. 

What a way to kick off this show? Christian's wrestling style really mixed well with Omega which feels like, at times, they've wrestled each other many times before.

Yes, it ended with a distraction finish of some kind but it somehow didn't hurt Kenny Omega's momentum. 

Oh, and Christian coming back to the impact zone just feels right to me.

Miro's Booking. 

His months and months worth of storytelling is EXACTLY what I've wanted from Miro ever since he showed up to AEW. 

This man pretty much squashed Fuego Del Sol 

I'm not the biggest fan of Del Sol but Sammy Guevara giving his good friend the AEW contract is a good moment and the audience's reaction made the moment all that more impactful emotionally. 

Some Other Things That Happened. 

Britt Baker defeated Red Velvet for the AEW women's world championship - It sucks that I had to say this but as a fan of both women, I thought the match was kinda mid. 

But, at least someone won a match in their hometown, right? 

Kris Statlander saved Red Velvet from a stomp however, she was taken down by Jaime Hayder. I smell a tag team match, Playas! 

Dynamite. 

Highlights. 

Sammy Guevara vs Shawn Spears. 

This was simply a fun encounter. Both men utilized every second of this match wisely thanks to its close near falls towards the second and third half of the match. 

Oh, and congratulations to Guevara on the engagement. 

The Young Bucks vs The Jurassic Express In Jungle Boy And Luchasaurus. 

Speaking of matches with fantastic near falls. I've never enjoyed a tag match quite like this. 

Of course, the arrogant and obnoxious duo retained their titles with the BTE trigger. The heels stood tall at the end in a post-match beatdown. 

The "drunk guy that admitted on f**king his cousin" look from Omega has to go. 

Some Other Things That Happened. 

Sting And Darby Allin defeated 2.0 - I sometimes cringe every time Sting takes a bump considering what happened to him almost 6 years ago but I have to admit, he held himself decently here. 

Side note, this is the only time I've ever seen the former Ever-Rise get a little bit of a "push". 

Dan Lambert Said That AEW Isn't The Answer To Pro Wrestling - Pale blonde Tucker Carlson over here is already my least favourite thing about this show. You could also call him Pat McAfee without the charm. 

Lance Archer came out to give Dan Lambert and his MMA crew a beating until he took a beating of his own from Scorpio Sky and Ethan Page. 

QT Marshall Talks Down On Paul Wight - To put a bit of context since I don't watch AEW's version of Main Event, Paulie got in the ring for a bit and as a consequence of it, the big man announced that he'll face QT Marshall at All Out. 

Welllllllllll, it's a match, guys (what a cornball). 

A Failed Beatdown From FTW To Brian Cage- That was something. 

Thunder Rosa prevailed in her match against Penelope Ford - A decent bout is all I'll say. 

"The MAGA Affect" Chris Jericho lost to "for dummies piece on how to be a heel" MJF - This is one of the most unique builds I've seen for a match that took place on a TV episode. It's pretty impressive not gonna lie. 

I was cheering on Jericho only because I didn't want my man CeeHawk to suffer from relentless Long Island slander (by the way, you all should give him a follow by clicking here).

WWE RAW 29/3/21 | A Coherent Review.

Once again, this show was mediocre as f**k.  Images via WWE.com   The Hurt Business Is No More. Why? Because WWE hates friendships. All lame jokes aside, the actual reason is that Cedric Alexander and Shelton didn't get the job done on taking out Drew McIntyre.  Alexander and Benjamin weren't too happy with Bobby's words and it led to a brawl.   Wow. It looks like Shelton Benjamin and Cedric Alexander will go right back to not being on TV for a longer period of time. I don't like this at all!  Riddle suggested an idea to Titus O'Neil of a Wrestlemania roast to which the guy was attacked by Sheamus. Speaking of Sheamus and Riddle…… Riddle vs Sheamus.  I ain't a fan of Riddle but he and Sheamus have incredible chemistry because this match was fun. Sheamus pinned the US champion.  After the match, Riddle pushed Sheamus to the outside. I smell a rematch happening at Wrestlemania.  Shane McMahon Calls Braun Strowman Dumb By Bringing up Strowman's Fifth Grade Repo

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
