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).

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...

WWE Wrestlemania 36 Night One | A Coherent Review.

When they announced that Wrestlemania was going to take place in two nights, I was hesitant mainly because I prefer a single show with meaningful matches and not the exact opposite spanned between two shows.  So far, the wrestling Gods proved me wrong. Wrestlemania 36 Night número uno was a great show. WWE gave me an escape that is desperately needed especially in this unique circumstance and I'm sure some of you guys feel this way too. As a tradition on this site, I haven’t seen the pre-show match so I can’t talk about it. Now, on with the review.  Before the show, Stephanie McMahon stated the usual thing. You know "in these times, we will entertain you". They then had the compilation of all the singers that sang America the beautiful which is actually pretty cool.  That led to this year's pirate-themed Wrestlemania opening and it was unique obviously but what makes it different is the humour in it which was fine.  The Kabuki Warriors vs Alexa Bliss And Ni...

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...
