THE Coherent AEW Take: HANGMAN PAGE IS BACK!

I'm so sorry that I haven't done a "Coherent AEW Take" in *checks the archives* ALMOST 2 MONTHS but I'm back and another week, another decent episode of both Rampage and Dynamite. 

Rampage. 

Highlights. 

Bryan Danielson vs Matt Jackson. 

Bryan Danielson. A name I should get used to saying since I've been calling the guy Daniel Bryan my entire wrestling fandom (yes, I was a semen until the year 2000 hit). 

And no surprise, a match that involved Bryan Danielson and one half of the Young Bucks is actually, you know, GOOD! 

Danielson won the encounter with a submission move I can't name because I'm a fake wrestling fan. 

The Jurassic Express, as well as Christian Cage, showed up and a brawl between them and The Elite ensued. 

Some Other Things That Happened. 

Jade Cargill defeated Nyla Rose And Thunder Rosa - An exciting match on paper but the execution was fine at best in my opinion. 

Orange Cassidy defeated Jack Evans In An Hair vs Hair Match - Tips for Jack Evans' new shaved head from a bald-headed person like myself. 1, always wear a beanie in winter times. 2, watch out for the a**holes that try to slap your head. And 3, just embrace the shaved head dude. Having hair is literally overrated, my friend. 

Dynamite. 

Highlights. 

HANGMAN PAGE IS BACK!

And won the casino ladder match and became number one contender for the AEW world championship. 

The excitement and the so-called "momentum" is still there for the cowboy despite the amount of time he's been off TV which is quite rare and fascinating at the same time. 

The reason being is that even a few months being off TV, could derail a character's build significantly depending on certain instances. 

All I'm saying is, LET'S GOOOOOOOOO!

The Elite vs The Jurassic Express, Christian Cage And Bryan Danielson. 

I describe this opening contest as a highlight reel. 

There were so many noteworthy moments that it'll honestly fill at least 1000 words. 

The match reminded me why I love the in-ring aspect of wrestling and that is, it's f**king fun to watch. 

The Elite guys prevailed with a knee strike from all 4 guys to Jungle Boy which was a fitting end, if you ask me considering that they're known for their knee strikes and kicks. 

Malaki Black Gave My Man, Dante Martin The Black Mist. 

Can I just say how I love how Malaki Black ensues the Japanese black mist with a bit of Norse mythology in his ring gear? 

It's almost as if the depths of the persona has been explored better than WWE ever could. 

I'm glad his talents are furnishing here because his main roster run was a wasted potential. 

Some Other Things That Happened. 

CM Punk's "I love pro wrestling" speech for the 100th time - I mean, he's interacting with the crowd and they're happy to see him. That's all it matters. 

Sammy Guevara retained the TNT Championship against Bobby Fish - Another NXT alum on AEW TV and I'm not gonna lie. It felt weird at first, to get used to the fact that he (and Adam Cole) are on AEW given how NXT aired on the same night as Dynamite.  

Sammy Guevara took a beating from Dan Lambert's posse until he was saved by his Inner Circle buddies in Chris Jericho and Jake Hager. 

Speaking of things that feel weird, Jake Hager as a babyface. 

Also, AEW, why are you making Dan Lambert a thing? That's like turning Yezzy's foam shoes a thing. Like, eww, no. 

The TBS Championship Has Been Revealed - You mean the Jade Cargill championship, right? I would prefer an AEW 6 man tag team belt considering how deep their tag team division is. Jurassic Express, Best Friends alongside Orange Cassidy, The Elite guys I could go on and on. 

Although AEW's women's division has gotten way better since the company's inception, I just don't think the division needs a secondary championship just yet. 

Darby Allin defeated Nick Comoroto - Mind you, that defeat was quick. 

Brian Cage wants to destroy Ricky Starks - I don't know how Ricky didn't get his a** kicked by Cage during his time on commentary at Rampage last weekend but unfortunately for Brian, the beating wasn't enough for the big man, 

Serena Deeb defeated Hikaru Shida - A decent match. Deeb hits Shida with the glass award plate because why not, right?

NXT Takeover: 30 | A Coherent Review.

NXT Takeovers have delivered greatly throughout the "30 years" of Takeover shows.  This one, in my opinion, wasn't it. For a Takeover program, this was disappointing.  All of the Takeovers are A's or B's and Takeover 30 was a C at best.  At least, I like the stage production set.  pictures via WWE.com PRESHOW: Breezango vs Legado De La Fantasma vs Oney Lorcan And Danny Burch. Winner Faces Imperium For The NXT Tag Team Championship.  It was a fine match. Joaquin Wilde's ring gear was really cool even though it took a bit out of the seriousness from the Legado De La Fantasma stable. I'm just nitpicking though.  Breezango actually won the match and will go on to face Imperium for the tag belts.  MAIN SHOW: Finn Balor vs Timothy Thatcher.  Timothy Thatcher started off this match with a series of punches which he then later transitioned into various submission moves.  Pretty much, Finn has no choice but to adapt to...

WWE RAW 28/2/22 | A Coherent Review.

Another week, another episode of Monday Night RAW aka a 2 hour podcast for an angry bearded white guy.  Kevin Owens and Seth Rollins spoke with Alpha Academy and………..  It led to a stunner from Kevin Owens to Chad Gable  I can't criticize the way Gable says thank you because after all, he's a chad.  The segment followed with a decent tag team match between two former rivals and the Academics.  And like their dating life, the Alphas took an L here.  This is the part where I would be mad at the tag champs getting pinned but those titles, as well as the entire tag division, are so meaningless, I don't have the energy to do so.  T-Bar vs Omos.  T-Bar lost a match and Omos can't wrestle for sh*ts. In other news, the colour of blood is red.  Bianca Belair, Rhea Ripley And Liv Morgan vs Becky Lynch, Doudrop And Nikki A.S.H.  Bianca once again proves that she owns all of the EST by leading her team to victory with the KOD on Nikki Ash Ketchum....

Top 3 BEST Distraction Finishes EVER!

Distraction endings to a wrestling match in WWE depend on one another if you think about it. It's like the peanut butter and jelly or the chicken and the basmati biryani rice or Dan Lambert and sexism.  "Why top 3", you may ask? Because one, I'm different and two, well, I'm different, so be gone to the mofos that think it's shorter than Brock Lesnar's bout with Kofi Kingston.  (WARNING: This piece is mostly sarcasm).  Daniel Bryan vs Sheamus. Wrestlemania 28.  I know this made your eyebrows raise as high as Rocky Maivia but think about this. The kiss from AJ Lee that led to a brogue kick from Sheamus, has in some way, led to the general audience seeing how Daniel Bryan should be WAY higher in the overall arc than where he was at that time.  Also, this was also the year where Bryan showed off his comedic chops with his "NO" catchphrase and his tag team run with the big red conservative, Kane.  If anything, this distraction finish was a great chara...
