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?

WWE RAW 11/2/19 | My Coherent Review.

This go home show makes me wanna go home if I was an attendance of this show. In other words, RAW wasn't good and here's why.  Opening Segment.  The show started off with The Authority. A stable that I actually don't mind but that a different topic. Anyways, they run down the Elimination Chamber PPV card. After that, The Man Becky Lynch came out and Triple H said that he will lift the suspension if Becky apologizes to both him and Stephanie.    Becky then told Stephanie to shut her face and she refused to apologize. The segment ended with Hunter giving her two choices. Either Becky apologizes to them or Becky's WrestleMania match is off.  Compared to the segments on RAW and Smackdown last week, this was underwhelming.  Sasha and Bayley vs Liv Morgan and Sarah Logan vs Nia Jax and Tamina. Loser enters first in the Elimination Chamber match.  The match was fine. During the match, Bayley delivered two stunners on the ...

Wrestling With Whiteness | A Documentary Sorely Needed.

Here's the thing. My 2 viewers will know that I've been a wrestling fan for 15 plus years but what they do not know is that I've been a Somali (aka a Black Muslim person) my entire life so talking about this documentary is going to be a little more personal, to say the least.  And look, I know this is the part where I insert my usual wit and fart jokes but you're not gonna see less of that because this is a serious topic (and you know it's serious when I mentioned my ethnicity) about representation and the shared struggle across every single black performer featured in this documentary.  From the press release, Wrestling With Whiteness "focuses on sharing the stories of Black folx and their experience in the wrestling community. Using a combination of interviews with Black wrestlers and Black content creators, Wrestling With Whiteness uncovers the unique experiences of Black people in the industry and the rise of representation for performers and fans around th...

A Guide On How To Improve Wrestling Criticism.

Now, before you all verbally eat me alive like a hippopotamus (yes hippos eat humans, look that up), understand that I’m just an average dude writing about pro wrestling and doesn’t claim to be an expert in anything and that includes professional wrestling (except cooking. I’m damn good at cooking).  However, what I’ve been discovering as a pro wrestling blogger for over a year is that there are some wrestling criticism out there that just make me wanna scratch my head to the point where my hands turn into an electric shaver if that makes sense. For instance, “Why is Ricochet’s trunks red instead of white?” or “Why’s Andrade wearing his Luchador mask for his entrance every week?”  In other words, they’re nitpicking and trust me I do that ALL THE TIME in my wrestling reviews. There’s nothing wrong with nitpicking certain things but the difference is that I acknowledge that I’m nitpicking and those guys clearly don’t.  There are fans out there on the interweb that b...
