NXT Halloween Havoc 2021 | A Coherent Review.


The 2021 edition of NXT's Halloween Havoc event didn't live up to last year's show which is why the show felt like an episode of Smackdown back in 2013/2014 with Halloween decorations.

This ain't a Halloween Havoc show without the presence of Chucky (aka Chunky if you're grammarly.com) and pretty much, he just gave the rundown for the show's match card.

Toxic Attraction vs Io Shirai And Zoey Stark vs Persia Pirotta And Indi Hartwell For The NXT Women's Tag Team Championship In A Ladder Match.  


An enjoyable opening match although Io Shirai took a nasty fall on the ladder that was set up between the announce table and the ring. Hoping she's fine and well. 

NXT continues to build the so-called "momentum" for the Toxic Attraction as Gigi Dolin climbed up the ladder to win the tag belts for the very first time. 

I mean, considering the division has no tag teams, why not give them the belts besides Zoey Stark and Io Shirai are better off being solo acts anyways. 

Another women's championship that happened in the show was an NXT women's championship between Raquel Gonzalez and Mandy Rose which ended with a title victory for Rose. Post-match saw the surprise return of Dakota Kai. That woman been ready for the main roster. Now, it begs the question, why keep her off TV for months? 

Joe Gacy vs Malik Blade. 

Joe Gacy (aka if an anarchist found inner peace) defeated his opponent of the night in Malik Blade thanks to some assistance from the formerly known, Parker Bordeaux. 

I don't know if that's Parker Bordeaux or a f**king extra in Blade Trinity. Either way, the gimmick is a no for me, dawg. 


In a video promo, Kay Lee Ray was like, "GIMME SOME OF THE RESPECT THING, PEOPLE!" Okay? 

A Diamond Mine Open Challenge Which Was Answered By…….

2021's NXT Breakout tournament competitor, Odyssey Jones aka a rematch from 205 Live according to my research because ya boy doesn't watch NXT's version of Main Event. 

Of course, Roderick Strong won the match due to a bit of that "distraction finish" you know? 

YOU GET TO BECOME A VAMPIRE, YOU GET TO BECOME A VAMPIRE, EVERYONE GETS TO BECOME A VAMPIRE. 


After LA Knight and Grayson Waller were arguing on some car problems to which NXT's newest addition, Solo Sikoa took out Waller while Knight was like, "I got no problem with you, big man because I'm out". 

First impressions? The dude is really, really, really impressive but for some reason, Roman Reigns would look at Solo and say, "I'm disappointed. He doesn't take a lot of Ls for me". 

Msk vs Imperium For The NXT Tag Team Championship In A Lumberjack Match. 

Because of the spinning wheel, this title match is, of course, a lumberjack match aka the worst wrestling match stipulation ever right behind the San Francisco 49ers match and the blindfold match although a blindfold would be beneficial for viewers of Monday Night RAW or the Venom movies. 

I will say this, that was probably the best lumberjack match I've ever seen because the bout was fun to watch. 

Imperium is the new NXT tag team championship and I don't hate this choice. It's a long time coming, honestly. 


There were multi scenes that showcased the Halloween party which is so 1990s even with the pickup lines from Cameron Grimes and Grayson Waller. Lame! 

Speaking of the Halloween spookiness, Carmelo Hayes and Trick Williams (for I sec, I called him "Trick Daddy". Please don't judge) went to a haunted house with the intention of getting Carmelo Hayes' NXT North American championship belt. 

This entire segment might as well be a sequel to " Escape The Undertaker" because the idea of two white dudes haunting two black people is f**king offensive bruh. 

But, at least Carmelo Hayes got the title back. 

Tommaso Ciampa vs Bron Breakker For The NXT Championship. 


A solid main event encounter. However, since we're in a new era of NXT, I think giving the title to Bron is a wise idea but unfortunately, that didn't happen. 

Bron did look decent in defeat though as he legit went balls to balls with Ciampa. Don't know where Bron goes from here but I'm hoping that NXT has bigger things for the young lad. 

So, to recap for all of you slow mofos. 

Like: NXT women's championship triple threat ladder match, Imperium vs Msk for the NXT tag team championship. 

Didn't like: The Halloween party segments were lame and uninteresting, Joe f**king Gacy.

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...

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...

WWE NXT 17/7/19 | My Coherent Review.

I didn't feel anything about this show overall besides one very good match and an impactful debut. Here's why.  Matt Riddle vs Arturo Ruas.  Those two guys have a background in MMA so it was really interesting as to how the match turned out. Started out with some technical wrestling which if you've been a follower of this blog then you'll know how much I LOVE technical submission wrestling.   The match ended with Matt Riddle delivering a series of rights and the ref stopped it which means that Matt won the match. After that, a masked man revealed as Killan Dan was beating the crap out of him and it was so bad that Mauro Ranallo screamed "Mamma Mia" on top of his lungs which is pretty rare. I actually really liked this. It's a different way to debut somebody and insert that person quickly in a feud instead of having that superstar wrestle in so many squash matches which I don't mind if they went in that route.  The Street Profits ...
