WWE NXT 31/8/21 | A Coherent Review.

The yellow brand might be the multicolour brand soon. I'm curious, where are the people that don't see colour, think about this change, huh? 

All lame jokes aside, this is the weekly coherent NXT review and I thought the episode was just fine.

Sarray vs Mandy Rose. 


Mandy Rose looked impressive in this bout. Rose "had a broken face" and was escorted to the backstage area while the ref counted to 10. 

As a result, Sarray won the match via a count-out. I wouldn't mind a rematch between those two women. 

Kyle O'Reilly vs Duke Hudson. 


Call me shocked but I never knew before last week or so that Duke is an Aussie. I assumed that he's a Floridian or something (did you just assume that all tanned white dudes are from Florida? That's problematic, Omar!). 

Hudson tapped out of the kneebar from Kyle O'Reilly. Cool. 


Ilja Dragunov was like, "Hey, I'm a champ now". Nice. 

Santos Escobar told Carmelo Hayes to stay out of the North American championship title scene.

And Cameron Grimes "accidentally" put his million-dollar belt on Zack Gibson's foot. That's for being a Liverpool fan, ya dope. 


Ember Moon wanted a match with Kay Lee Ray for next week's episode. Should be a decent match. 

Drake Maverick And Grayson Waller vs Imperium. 


The Drake Maverick and Grayson Waller team are like the duo of Ice Cube and Mike Epps in Friday 2 and 3 in that it'll never top the duo of the OG in Ice Cube and Chris Tucker (if you can't tell, I'm referring to the team of Drake Maverick and Killian Dain). 

Imperium prevailed here. Cool. 

LA Knight vs Johnny Gargano. 

Thanks to Johnny Gargano focusing too much on Dexter Lumis, Gargano ate the pin from La Knight. 

Gargano losing like that ain't helping him becoming the top heel (if the rumour is true because we just don't know yet). 

Raquel Gonzalez vs Jessi Kamea. 

Really? Do I have to tell you who won the match? 


Samoa Joe in an interview with Wade Barret was like, "I'll fight all comers'. I have to say, Wade Barret is really good at this interview thing. 


Roderick Strong vs Ikemen Jiro. 

Strong defeated Jiro in an alright match with a suplex into a backbreaker (now THAT is a finishing move). 

Tomasso Ciampa vs Ridge Holland. 


A series of kicks and a DDT from Tomasso Ciampa is how Ciampa won the match which is an odd booking choice given that Ridge Holland is supposed to be built as an unstoppable monster. Not a fan of that decision, honestly. 

Msk helped Ciampa in avoiding a further beating from Peter Dune and his brufs. 

So, to recap for all of you slow mofos. 

Like: Sarray vs Mandy Rose, forgot to mention that Wade Barret is good at interviewing.

Didn't like: Ridge Holland losing.

WWE Wrestlemania 26 | A Coherent Review.

I've teased a mystery review on my Facebook page (which you can click here to follow us) and that mystery has now been unveiled. It's Wrestlemania 26. This review was delayed and was supposed to be up last Monday but at least is now up. Also, The first draft of this review was 7 pages long so strap in. By far, the longest review on this very website.  I thought it would be fitting to review a Wrestlemania from a decade back and how do I feel about it? It was a show that if you watched it, you're most likely going to have a good time. It was a mix of great things but terrible things at the same time as most shows.  The 26th edition of Wrestlemania took place in the University of Phoenix Stadium in the Phoenix suburb of Glendale, Arizona on March 28th, 2010.  The commentators were Micheal Cole, Jerry Lawler and Matt Striker. Honestly, Striker was pretty good and a far better colour commentator than Lawler was on this show (even today, Lawler is still bleh on commen...

WrestleFest DXB's Fahrenheit 971 | A Coherent W.

  Being a fan of pro wrestling (or any other medium of entertainment) does have its pros and cons when engaging with the industry as a whole.  On one hand, you've witnessed an Eddie Kingston promo that'll make you tear up more than the opening scene of Up.  On the other hand, going to the wrestling subreddit will definitely have you questioning humanity as a whole and the fact that living in an area where a wrestling presence pretty much doesn't exist like a Vince Russo-written storyline that is, you know, GOOD!?  Luckily, the latter retracted my con as a fan because I'm talking about Wrestlefest DXB and their latest joint, "971 Fahrenheit".  Martin Bushby of now Post Wrestling Alumni brought the event to my attention because like a wrestler on an episode of RAW I get distracted all the time.  So, I decided to take a short journey to a taxi then a bus then a train then a 30-minute walk to the show itself and I know I'm going to sound biased as f**k but I l...

The 5 News Week: WWE Backstage. Cancelled Or Nah?, Liv Morgan's Re-Debut Was Supposed To Be Different!?

I'm back on my BS because it's The 5 News Week where I report on the 5 major or minor news of the week hence the name "T he 5 News Week".  Sorry for the week of absence. I took a week off of social media (except YouTube) due to the sadness I felt when reading those brave women and men tell their stories about the awful, terrible experiences they've had after their interactions with notable people in the industry.  It made me question my fandom and whether I should be in the industry (wrestling media-wise) knowing that they are asshats that will take an advantage on people for no reason other than more power and control.  This week proves that the business needs to wash all the old tropes that make it harder for people to express what's really going on especially when it pertains  to serious issues like sexual assault, racism, sexism etc.  I'm hoping that those stories will lead to a sudden change in every aspect of this profession and other ...
