WWE NXT 17/8/21 | A Coherent Review.

The leaf isn't looking too green for NXT as reports emerge that the brand is going back to filming episodes and apparently, the USA network ain't too happy with the decision. If that doesn't scream, "I'm kinda screwed" I don't know what is.

Now, Last week's episode was probably the worst NXT episode in recent memory? The question is, did the ties change this week? Not really.

It wasn't bad but at the same time, it wasn't noteworthy either (besides one particular moment). The show was just there, you know.

Ilja Dragonov vs Roderick Strong.

Hey, look, a good wrestling match. Dragonov won here (thank the lords) with an uppercut to which he calls out Walter (bro, you just wrestled a brutal match and the last thing you want is a beating. Save that energy for Saturday).

He did get his wish after Msk's match over Imperium but Dragonov (along with Msk) took a BEATING from Walter which isn't surprising, of course.

Cannot wait for this encounter. Give those dudes all the time in the world to destroy each other.

A prime target video promoting the third match of the Adam Cole and Kyle O'Reilly saga. NXT's video packages especially have an A* production value so I'm not surprised that this one was well done.

In a segment between Hit Row and Legado De La Fantasma, Isiah Swerve Scott was assaulted by Legado De La Fantasma only for the leader of Hit Row to get some assistance by the rest of the members of said faction.

It was aight. Nothing too exciting or awful happened here.

Moving on. After Grimes defeated Josh Briggs, LA Knight was like, "Nah, I'll attack you, my guy" which is exactly what happened.

Like I said in my last week's review, how the match took place felt a little too rushed but it is what it is, I guess.

Dexter Lumis And Indi Hartwell vs Robert Stone And Jessi Kamea.

The match itself was forgettable but the ending wasn't.

Indi Hartwell proposed to Dexter Lumis and the big man accepted it.

YES, YES, YES, YES, YES! LOVE IS REAL, FOLKS! F**K THE WAY FOR TRYING TO RUIN HARTWELL'S RELATIONSHIP WITH DEXTER! WHAT A MOMENT!

All sarcasm aside, this has to be the best love story ever told since Mandy Rose and Otis, right?

Raquel Gonzalez and Dakota Kai argued over who's leaves the CWC as the NXT women's champion.

The match that I look forward to the least and the sad thing is, they could've done something unique here but they pulled the "best friends now bitter rivals" cliche and followed that trope word by word.

Speaking of backstage segments, Ridge Holland aired a sort of challenge to Timothy Thatcher. Now, you have my attention based on the contrasting of styles between both of those guys.

Carmelo Hayes vs Duke Hudson. NXT Breakout Tournament Semi-Finals.

A decent encounter. Hayes goes to the finals with a leg drop from the top rope.

A vignette had aired for Jacy Janye. Not too familiar with the performer but as the cliche saying goes, "It should be interesting".

And the final segment of this episode ends with an absolute brawl between Karrion Kross (aka the reverse winning streak) and Samoa Joe. Meh.

So, to recap for all of you slow mofos.

Like: Ilja Dragonov vs Roderick Strong, Indi Hartwell proposes to Dexter Lumis.

Didn't like: Nothing really.

THE Coherent AEW Take: I Ain't Tellin' You No Lie, The Hook Brings You Back

PAGE AND BRYAN! HOOK! HOOK! HOOK! PAGE AND BRYAN! HOOK! HOOK! HOOK! That's it. That's the intro. Rampage. Highlights. HOOOOOOOOK! I mean, I gotta support the man himself named Hook, DUHHH! What can I say, I like a man that is built different, quick, agile and hard……..in professional wrestling, of course. Suffice to say, Hook does something that Kalya Braxton doesn't and that is, making all biracials proud. FTR vs Lucha Brothers for the AEW world tag team championship Two of the best tag teams I've ever witnessed as a wrestling fan (yes, they're THAT darn good) battling it out in an opening match so banging, not even your Beats headphone can replicate it, ya feel me? The Lucha Brothers get to walk out of this episode of Rampage still as the reigning world tag champs. Some Other Things That Happened. Adam Cole defeated Wheeler Yuta - Adam Cole appreciation comment. Dynamite. Highlights. Hangman Page...

Escape The Undertaker | A Short Coherent Review.

The internet. The only place where your YouTube recommended is filled with "I DON'T EVEN KNOW THAT'S PG". It is also home to Netflix which released an interactive movie produced by future Raspberry award-winning movie studio, WWE films. Look, the idea of 3 black dudes being trapped inside a house by a white conservative dead hog, is offensive and by that description alone, you weren't sure for a sec whether you were watching Netflix or the Daily Wire. Luckily, there wasn't a cameo from Tessa Blanchard so you should be fine. As a fan of Mass Effect 2, I love some dialogue trees that alter the events of a movie/game. And, from a functionality standpoint, it is a technical marvel how it gives the audience the illusion of choice (you know, like our current economic system). I say "illusion" because therein lies the main problem I have with the film. Your choices don't matter here. Even in a WWE movie, they're still trying to avoid the fan...

WWE Smackdown Live 11/9/18 | My Coherent Review.

Smackdown live was overall a good show. Why you ask? Well, I'm gonna tell you what's good, what's ok and what's bad. Here we go. WHAT'S GOOD Jeff Hardy vs Shinsuke Nakamura The promo before this was okay however that was a goooood match. Better than their in counter at SummerSlam. Jeff was about to beat Nakamura, however, randy outta nowhere pushes hardy on the outside hence Nakamura retains the championship and Jeff wins via DQ. They had a brawl that was better than the brawl last night on RAW I'll tell you that much. Samoa Joe telling a bedtime story in a good not boring way. I thought from the editing to the design of the book to the way Samoa Joe express the story was fantastic. The thing I LOVE about this is that it's a outside in the box type of promo package that worked. Man, I can't wait for this match. On Sunday night when the PPV airs, I think I'm gonna call my local "WENDYYYS" (My goodness that was awfu...
