WWE NXT 24/8/21 | A Coherent Review.

The next few weeks should be eye-opening given the NXT as we know it, might be dead after those taped episodes.

Depending on how NXT going forward is being presented, I may end my run of reviewing the yellow brand.

Will see what happens but for now, the question is, how was NXT this week?

I thought it was decent but it didn't blow me away either.

Cameron Grimes Celebrates His Million Dollar Championship Victory.

The title above pretty much described the gist of the opening act other than some cash was thrown around the CWC that has Grimes' face on it.

The true babyface move is to give out some actual 100 dollar bills but y'all know that WWE can't write babyfaces properly.

Overall, this was fine for what it was.

Ridge Holland vs Timothy Thatcher.

A short but solid encounter. Thatcher's strength isn't enough to put down the big man as Holland defeated Thatcher with a move that I don't know the name of because I'm not Mauro Ranallo.

Oh, and Danny Burch is back and assists his partner Oney Lorcan, Ridge Holland and Pete Dunne in giving Tommaso Ciampa and Timothy Thatcher a beating.

There's a wedding date announced for Indi Hartwell and Dexter Lumis and that date is September 17th. Looking forward to seeing it. Hoping it isn't a disaster like all wrestling wedding segments.

Kacy Catanzaro And Kayden Carter vs Gigi Dolin And Jacy Jayne.

An aight match. The team of Catanzaro and Carter won here and that decision is odd considering how Gigi Dolin was showcased last week.

Franky Monet gave an "I got my eyes on you" speech on Raquel Gonzalez and all I can say is, do not book this match quickly because this could be a special one if given the time and effort to build this match.

Speaking of Kay Lee Ray, she defeated Valentina Feroz. Meh.

Samoa Joe Finds His Potential Opponents.

This was a "random wrestlers state their case as to why they're number one contender for a title" segment between Pete Dunne, Kyle O'Reilly and LA Knight with a bit of a brawl in the end.

LA Knight. You know, the same LA Knight that lost a title match to Cameron Grimes a few days ago?

This is leading to a match between Samoa Joe and Pete Dunne since Dunne has been protected from Ls for quite some time.

And you know what? I do not hate that decision if that's the case.

Duke Hudson traded in some back and forth right hands with Kyle O'Reilly. Cool.

Carmelo Hayes vs Odyssey Jones. NXT Breakout Tournament Finals.

A decent encounter. Carmelo Hayes has officially won the 2021 edition of the NXT breakout tournament and I'm curious whether he will get an NXT championship opportunity or the North American championship? Will see what happens later down the line

Side note, Odyssey Jones looked good even in defeat so I wouldn't dismiss the guy if I was NXT.

Xyon Quinn vs Boa.

Xyon Quinn looks like somebody put in a lot of time into creating a wrestler in the WWE 2K games.

Quinn got an upset victory over Boa. It ain't an upset when guys like Boa have looked weak in their matches as of late, you know.

Gargano told William Regal to cancel the wedding of Dexter Lumis and Indi Hartwell and Regal refused. F**k you, Johnny. You a**hole.

In a promo filmed in an MMA training facility, Malcolm Bivens was like, "Roderick Strong is the uncrowned cruiserweight champion". This man is carrying the stable behind his back with promo after promo. Good on NXT for actually doing something meaningful with the guy!

Hit Row vs Legado De La Fantasma.

A fun tag team main event action. Thanks to the leader of Legado De La Fantasma, Santos Escobar, the heel stable picked up the victory which only means one thing.

A North American championship match coming very soon (no f**king shit, Omar).

So, to recap for all of you slow mofos.

Like: Hit Row vs Legado De La Fantasma, Ridge Holland vs Timothy Thatcher, stan Malcolm Bivens.

Didn't like: Nitpicking but Gigi Dolin losing a match after a clean win last week.

Will Hobbs. Professional Wrestling's Powerhouse

"What's the most powerful house you can think of? Perhaps a bungalow, something that's low, unshakable, that kinda thing? ” Hey Ew, 2022 Think of the greatest big men in the history of the business. Big Van Vader who represents pure unadulterated aggression that seamlessly benefits his ferocious in-ring style ( see his match with Mitsuharu Misawa for more information). Bam Bam Bigelow who's unpredictability inside the ring like his flying headbutts and moonsaults has made him spectacular to watch. The Undertaker who have built a sense of aura by masterfully marching down the ring, creating anticipation in the process as well as constructing an expression of a man who hates video games and wants “men to be like men” . And then there's Powerhouse Will Hobbs. A man who I believe in years to come is the heir apparent to the throne of “greatest big men in wrestling” and for good reason. Mr “I Break Backs Like Bane” possesses a power that belies his exuberance. Why ...

Wrestling Publications And Web Design.

The internet is home to over 50 billion websites and within the pro wrestling niche, there are 60+ established sites that fans click into on a daily basis for news, editorials, reviews, interviews and other exclusive content. Those websites have four key critical tasks. One, the content obviously. Two, the design and functionality of said sites. Three, just copy what Dave Meltzer said. And four, just make sh*t up. Creating a site is a different beast. Some use Blogger like this site while others use square-space, Wix, or even code a site from the ground up. The problem with developing a web page from scratch is that it's time-consuming and you have to learn some mark-up languages like HTML and CSS. It's essentially a great skill that isn't worth it if you want a site in minutes. Now, the main question is, why am I writing this article in the first place? When you learn a skill, you tend to have a different view on a product that is connected with the skill ...

WWE RAW 1/8/22 | A Coherent Review.

With Triple H making some changes for the overall WWE creative process and the end of the "Jeff Jarrett weekend", I gotta make some changes as well (at least for the site) because this is going to be the last solo RAW review since I'm going to combine both of my thoughts on RAW and Smackdown called "the cohesive WWE perspective". So yeah, how was RAW? Well, It was one of the best episodes I've seen in a VERY long time. I guess no more, " RAW Is as insane and bad as the current season of Riverdale" jokes, right? Becky remembered who she was during her encounter with Bianca Belair. That promo ruled and as a guy that didn't like her heel run all that much since her comeback last year, I gotta say that I'm glad she's going back babyface due to the fact that heel Bex was so vanilla for my liking. After Bianca showed some respect to the man, the new trio known as Io Sky, Dakota Kai and Bayley attacked Becky's injured shoulder. They a...
