AEW Full Gear 2021 | A Coherent Review.

Apologies to my 4 viewers that this review is shorter than the last time I did an AEW PPV review which was Revolution (big f**king yikes, Omar. Fake wrestling fan). 

It's just that TK is killing me with the 4 hour long PPVs but at this point, my complaints on how long the show would last are getting old so let's get into how this show ABSOLUTELY F'ING RULED LIKE A MONARCH! (For the most part because nothing is perfect). 

MJF vs Darby Allin. 

While I believe MJF's character is a walking dummies article on how to be a heel, the guy can wrestle his a** off as seen by the opening contest with Darby Allin. 

MJF made my favourite wrestling bruf William Regal proud due to the fact that he used the brass knuckles to win the match. 

Where does Maxwell go from here? I can't believe I'm saying this but I could see him wrestling Sting and the worst part about this statement is that I wouldn't mind it. 2019 me would've slapped the sh*t out of 2021 me. 

The Lucha Brothers vs FTR For The AEW World Tag Team Championship. 

Speaking of fun matches. The guys that are in my favourite match of the year (I'm referring to the steel cage match at All Out), wrestled another fantastic encounter with FTR. 

Can I just say that I'm glad that FTR is an entity that appreciates tag team wrestling? 

The Lucha Brothers retained the titles with a double team spike piledriver. The Lucha Brothers are so immune to the "Distraction finish", WWE executes, pulls a Brandy and says, "impossible". 

Bryan Danielson vs Miro. AEW World Championship Number One Contender's Tournament Finals. 

Bryan Danielson's theme is literally born for greatness because man, the theme makes me wanna pull a Rocky montage. This song got nothing on "Hearts On Fire". 

I will say, the match was a little too short for my wrestling liking but it was a solid match nevertheless. 

Bryan has won the entire tournament and will go on to face a certain AEW world champion for the title. Ya boy is rubbing his hands like Birdman with excitement. 

The Young Bucks And Adam Cole vs Christian And The Jurassic Express In A Street Fight.

It's surreal to think about how Adam Cole was in WWE as NXT champion at the start of the so-called "Wednesday Night War" and now, he's in the exact opposite company titan towers is trying to compete with. 

With that being said, the match was prettay, prettay, pretty good. The match saw The Young Bucks delivering a double superkick on Jungle Boy while Jungle Boy had a series of thumbtacks inside his mouth. 

If y'all wanna pull moves like this, at the very least your country should have free universal healthcare.

The elite guys lost to a conchairto from Jungle Boy to Nick Jackson. 

Cody Rhodes And Pac vs Andrade El Idolo And Malaki Black. 

The city of Minneapolis, Minnesota are sick and tired of the white saviour narrative. Why? Just look at Cody Rhodes during this tag team bout. The match was decent for what it was. 

Cody Rhodes and Pac prevailed in the end with the black arrow to which Cash Wheeler and Dax Hardwood laid waste on Rhodes and Pac. Cool. 

Britt Baker vs Tay Conti For The AEW World Women's Championship. 

Was looking forward to the match and unfortunately, it kinda disappointed me due to the fact that it felt kinda there. I know AEW could do better than that especially since that division has improved a lot this past year. 

Britt Baker retains with a roll-up. 

CM Punk vs Eddie Kingston. 

Aka the match with one of the best in-ring promos, I've seen all year. 

And the encounter itself was decent. CM Punk won with a GTS and after the match, 

Eddie didn't show any respect for the guy. Roman Reigns looked at this like, "I like this Eddie person." 

I'm sure we're going to see a rematch. It's just a matter of when is my question. 

The Inner Circle vs Scorpio Sky, Ethan Page And American Top Team. 

A match I couldn't care less about. And you know it's bad when a catchy Fozzy song isn't the worst part about the entire feud. 

The Inner Circle wins with a frog splash from one white person I dislike, Chris Jericho to another, Dan Lambert.  I will give Chris some credit, the frog splash tribute to Eddie Guerrero was awesome to see. 


So, Jay Lethal has officially signed with AEW and he's getting a TNT championship on Dynamite against Sammy Guevara. Uh, why (and I'm not going to elaborate as to why I feel that way, Bing is literally free). 

Kenny Omega vs Hangman Page For The AEW World Championship. 

THE match that was two years in the f**king making and it absolutely delivered as anticipated. 

SCREW YOU, RIGHTEOUS REG! SCREW YOU, FELLOW WWE SHILL, LOUIS DANGOOR because Adam Page has finally won the big one with two clotheslines. Let's go, boys, girls and NB. 

So, to recap for all of you slow mofos.

Like: MJF vs Darby Allin, The Lucha Brothers vs FTR, The Young Bucks And Adam Cole vs Christian And The Jurassic Express, Hangman Page vs Kenny Omega and what happened after the match. 

Didn't like: Britt Baker vs Tay Conti, Why Jay Lethal?

My Coherent Wrestling Wednesdays: A Broserweight Road Trip To Portland, Britt Baker Addresses Her Attack On Yuka Sakazaki Last Week.

While this was a typical night for AEW, NXT, however, had a go-home show to deliver just days before the next anticipated Takeover show in Portland, Oregon.  But, NXT's final show before the second Takeover of 2020 didn't bring it, unfortunately, in terms of quality as the 20th episode of AEW Dynamite was the better show this week even though AEW Dynamite is a hit or miss program.  NXT    Highlights.  Roderick Strong vs Bronson Reed. Before the match, a pissed off Roderick Strong demanded an apology from the Velveteen Dream given that Dream put his wife and child's face on his trucks.  By the way, Bronson Reed's theme song is killer and so is this match. A slow, technical, old-school type of match that wouldn't fit the big man on paper but the execution was a different story.  The lights turned purple and Reed hits the suicide dive but he missed a Samoan splash that led to a knee strike from Strong and wins the match.  Then,...

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...

Roman Reigns Relinquishes The Universal Title Because He Has Leukemia.

I have a sad and unfortunate news to break. Two hours ago on RAW, Roman cut a great promo pretty much stating that he's been living with leukemia for over 11 years and the disease's return forced him to give up the universal championship. The segment ended with both shield members Dean Ambrose and Seth Rollins gave a group hug to Roman and did the triple shield fist pump. Ever since that, fellow WWE superstars reacted to the news on Twitter and here are the tweets so far. An amazing human being, an incredible performer & a man I’m proud to be friends with. My thoughts & prayers are with you & your family. Get well soon, champ! #ThankYouRoman https://t.co/jL1Q5dVvzs — #WOKEN, yet #BROKEN, Matt Hardy (@MATTHARDYBRAND) October 23, 2018 My heart right now ....
