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 RAW 11/2/19 | My Coherent Review.

This go home show makes me wanna go home if I was an attendance of this show. In other words, RAW wasn't good and here's why.  Opening Segment.  The show started off with The Authority. A stable that I actually don't mind but that a different topic. Anyways, they run down the Elimination Chamber PPV card. After that, The Man Becky Lynch came out and Triple H said that he will lift the suspension if Becky apologizes to both him and Stephanie.    Becky then told Stephanie to shut her face and she refused to apologize. The segment ended with Hunter giving her two choices. Either Becky apologizes to them or Becky's WrestleMania match is off.  Compared to the segments on RAW and Smackdown last week, this was underwhelming.  Sasha and Bayley vs Liv Morgan and Sarah Logan vs Nia Jax and Tamina. Loser enters first in the Elimination Chamber match.  The match was fine. During the match, Bayley delivered two stunners on the ...

Wrestling With Whiteness | A Documentary Sorely Needed.

Here's the thing. My 2 viewers will know that I've been a wrestling fan for 15 plus years but what they do not know is that I've been a Somali (aka a Black Muslim person) my entire life so talking about this documentary is going to be a little more personal, to say the least.  And look, I know this is the part where I insert my usual wit and fart jokes but you're not gonna see less of that because this is a serious topic (and you know it's serious when I mentioned my ethnicity) about representation and the shared struggle across every single black performer featured in this documentary.  From the press release, Wrestling With Whiteness "focuses on sharing the stories of Black folx and their experience in the wrestling community. Using a combination of interviews with Black wrestlers and Black content creators, Wrestling With Whiteness uncovers the unique experiences of Black people in the industry and the rise of representation for performers and fans around th...

A Guide On How To Improve Wrestling Criticism.

Now, before you all verbally eat me alive like a hippopotamus (yes hippos eat humans, look that up), understand that I’m just an average dude writing about pro wrestling and doesn’t claim to be an expert in anything and that includes professional wrestling (except cooking. I’m damn good at cooking).  However, what I’ve been discovering as a pro wrestling blogger for over a year is that there are some wrestling criticism out there that just make me wanna scratch my head to the point where my hands turn into an electric shaver if that makes sense. For instance, “Why is Ricochet’s trunks red instead of white?” or “Why’s Andrade wearing his Luchador mask for his entrance every week?”  In other words, they’re nitpicking and trust me I do that ALL THE TIME in my wrestling reviews. There’s nothing wrong with nitpicking certain things but the difference is that I acknowledge that I’m nitpicking and those guys clearly don’t.  There are fans out there on the interweb that b...
