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.

WWE Smackdown 14/2/20 | My Coherent Review.

Last night was my 2nd anniversary of pumping out written content on this site and I thought since this show has delivered 6 or sometimes 3 out of 10s for 4 months now, I've written some lyrics about my thoughts on Smackdown in the style of the current song opening for the blue brand.  If you wanna put the instrumental version of ACDC's Are You Ready while reading this then that's cool too.  *Cue the intro* Are you Ready?  Are you ready for mediocrity! Then, get ready for disappointment.  No one needs it.  No one needs it.  No one needs it.   Even Bischoff.  Are you ready for mediocrity! *ends with some guitar solos*.  The lyrics may suck but it is at least better than whatever the hell Justin Bieber meant when he sang his current single "Yummy".  Now, on with the review. The Return Of A Moment Of Bliss (Unlike The Return Of The Dirt Sheets, Nobody Really Cares).  Both Bliss...

The 5 News Week: An NXT Segment Getting Some Backstage Praise!?

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.  some pictures via WWE.com Stephanie McMahon One Of The Best Heels In The Attitude Era? Jim Ross Thinks So.  Jimmy Ross recently talked about the role Stephanie McMahon and whether she was "one of the best heels we had in the attitude era" (from sescoops ):  “I always believe she was one of the best heels that we had in the Attitude Era. Because she took so much after her dad.” Stephanie played as the spoiled rich daughter of an a*h*ole boss and that is a dish of easy heel heat.  Stephanie McMahon's spoiled brat type of heel moulded well with a vicious, opportunist of a bad guy that Triple H portrayed as during the era of the McMahon/Hemsley faction.  Without her constant presence on TV, A piece of Triple H's persona especially in the year 2000, would b...

Priscilla Kelly Used A Tampon In A Wrestling Match: Right Or Wrong?

    If you have been away from social media for the past day or so, a wrestler by the name of Priscilla Kelly (who by the way, recently competed in the second Mae Young Classic tournament) competed in a match in which she pulled out her tampon and put it on her rival's mouth. That struck the wrestling world on Twitter with differences of opinions. She did respond to this on Twitter and here's what she had to say: Hey guys. Ya know, it's all fake. 21+ show with a bar. Can't take life so serious all the time. Call me what you will... 🌹 — The Priscilla Kelly (@priscillakelly_) January 5, 2019 What do I think of this? I don't understand why this became as viral as it is considering that we've seen hardcore, brutal, disgusting stuff in a wrestling match before. However, it did get an "ugh" reaction out of me.  Was it right or wrong that she did this? My answer is none considering that wrestling is subjective and there's no such thing ...
