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?

WWE NXT Takeover: Toronto | My Coherent Review.

Another month or so, another great NXT Takeover event courtesy of the NXT creative team filled with top-notch in-ring action and storytelling. I know it feels tiresome when you heard people praise highly talk about the Takeover shows but trust me they are that good.  The Street Profits vs The Undisputed Era for the NXT Tag Team Championship. During the match, Montez Ford delivered the people's elbow after hitting a spinebuster on Bobby Fish. The match ended with a frog splash from Montez Ford and The Street Profits continues to celebrate as tag team champions.  I'm very conflicted with this decision mainly because I don't want to see more okay matches between The Forgotten Sons and Danny Burch and Oney Lorcan but I'm going to be optimistic hoping that it's not the case.  Io Shirai vs Candice Lerae.  Io's theme song is simple yet badass at the same time (no shit, Omar). The match started off with Candice rushing to the ring and brawled on the outs...

WWE RAW 13/7/20 | A Coherent Review.

I didn't like this show. Thankfully, this episode didn't pull a Smackdown but because of how well last week's show went, I felt really underwhelmed watching that.   MVP Lounge. Special Guest, Dolph Ziggler.  Montel Von Porter welcomed his guest that shares a common hatred for Drew McIntyre and that guest is, of course, Dolph Ziggler.  Ziggler compliments the new United States championship design to which MVP let him know that he'll talk to his people and get a new WWE championship design once the show-off, wins the championship (and honestly, Ziggler's got a point, the WWE Title needs a new design).  Dolph further tells MVP that he's the reason why Drew defeated Brock Lesnar at Wrestlemania for the WWE title.  Out came the Scotsmen himself and he basically said that he'll beat the crap out of him and Dolph got a bit of that with a punch. An enjoyable segment.  The thing I kind of appreciate about this feud is that Dolph...

Finn Balor Is Indeed Out Of Action.

A couple of days ago, WWE announced that Finn Balor suffered an injury and didn't specify on what the injury was. His last match, by the way, was a triple threat match at a house show last Wednesday in Santiago, Chile against Dolph Ziggler and Drew McIntyre to which McIntrye won.  It turns out that Finn wasn't dealing with an injury at all, at least according to Mike Johnson over at  PWinsider . Instead, Balor is dealing with an illness and couldn't continue the Latin America tour. Finn is also unable to compete on the Mixed Match Challenge, replacing him with Apollo Crews. But the powers that be believe that he's 100% ready for TLC next week. Here's what he had to say about that via Twitter:  I am sorry I could not preform in #WWEBuenosAires Lo siento no pude competir en #WWEBuenosAires — Finn Bálor forEVERYone (@FinnBalor) December 7, 2018   I wish him nothing but a speedy recovery.  By the way, I report on the 5 major or minor news of ...
