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 RAW 28/12/20 | A Bit Late Coherent Review.

Before I start this review, I wanna say rest in peace to Jon Huber better known as the person behind the character of Luke Harper and Brodie Lee. It was a tough, painful 3 days for the pro wrestling industry and I certainly felt that. If there's one thing I've learned from the number of great stories being told by the people he has worked with is that Jon is a charming, funny and overall a fantastic human being that loves his family. After reading the countless amount of fantastic tribute posts (including from the likes of Molly Belle of Wrestle Inn and Andrew Thompson of Post Wrestling ), that bit about Jon as a family man made me think of my current relationship with my father and the ways I'm trying to improve from my standpoint. I know this is a cheese pizza saying but tell the people you cared about that you love 'em because that line might make their day. So. Thank you, Jon Huber, for being the light that brightens everybody's darkness. Now, Ho...

WWE Smackdown Live 30/10/18 | My Coherent Review.

Smackdown Live yesterday was a skippable show other than the opening segment and match in my opinion. Now usually on my RAW/Smackdown Live review, I break down what's good, what's ok and what's bad. For the first time, I'm only gonna tell you what's ok given that this show was again a skippable show and here we go. WHAT'S OK The opening segment This is the probably one of if not most noteworthy moment this week mainly because as you might know, there were reports going around that John Cena and Daniel Bryan were out of Crown Jewel and the reports are indeed true and it makes sense, especially for John Cena considering that he's an actor now and he needs to maintain his PR status. The segment itself was decent. Loved both guys' intensity and that segment leads to a WWE championship match and speaking of which............. Daniel Bryan vs AJ Styles Decent match. Expected a better from these two but again, decent nevertheless but...

WWE Smackdown 24/4/20 | A Coherent Review.

This week's Smackdown show was decent but it wasn't as strong as the previous weeks and *hits his head a few times* here's why. The New Day Celebrates Their Title Victory. The show kicked off with the now 8th time WWE tag team champions, The New Day and like the title above, they were celebrating their big title win last week (No sh*t, Omar). During the segment, Kofi mentioned that there's nothing wrong with pointing out that they have more title reigns than The Hart Foundation, Edge and Christian, Demolition, The New Age Outlaws etc because it's them being proud of their accomplishments. Out came Lucha House Party, The Miz and John Morrison and they pretty much said that they deserve a title shot. The Forgotten Sons showed up to tell The New Day, Lucha House Party and every other tag team watching that they will never be forgotten. They lived up to that statement as the Forgotten Sons destroyed Lucha House Party and The New Day. ...
