THE Coherent AEW Take: Christian Dior, Dior. Eddie Kingston up in all the stores!

Ever since AEW Dynamite was on Saturday night for a bit, I've been WAY behind on AEW content so excuse my ignorance.

And It's Full Gear weekend which means another PPV that would last longer than the Snyder cut. 

Sheeit, I'll bet the collar and elbow hold alone from the Hangman Page and Kenny Omega championship match, is longer than the entire Queen's Crown tournament. 

As far as how I feel about both programs this week, well.  They did an okay job on building towards the final AEW PPV of the year this Saturday.

Rampage. 

Highlights. 

Bryan Danielson vs Anthony Bowens. 

And no, the highlight doesn't include Max Caster's verses. I'll rather listen to f**king Riff Raff than Max Caster's dig on anything. 

The worst part, people are probably going to look at this and say, "can't wait for a Max Caster's appearance on Wild 'N Out!" 

With that being said, this opening match was good. Danielson wins with the rebel lock. 

Eddie Kingston (with the most New York fit I've ever seen) ain't too happy With CM Punk. 

Eddie Kingston gave CM Punk a verbal BEATING. That promo showcases how Eddie Kingston is legit one of the best pure dialogue executioners in this industry. 

Side note, I will say, It's nice to see an in-ring CM Punk segment that isn't the old "I'm glad to be with the fans". 

Some Other Things That Happened. 

Red Velvet lost to The Bunny - Meh. 

Adam Cole defeated John Silver - The anti smarks looking at this match like, "is this AEW's version of the cruiserweight division? Bunch of vanilla midgets". 

Dynamite. 

Highlights. 

Matt Sydal And Lee Moriarty vs Dante Martin And Lio Rush. 

I like this match a ton. This is my second time seeing Lee Moriarty and he keeps on impressing me a lot as a performer. He's just that damn good right now. 

And It's been a while since I've seen Lio Rush wrestle with ease and God damn, the match made me appreciate his in-ring presence. 

The man of the hour, along with Dante Martin, walked out of this week's episode of Dynamite as the winner of the match with a beautiful looking moonsault from Dante Martin. 

Some Other Things That Happened. 

Bryan Danielson defeated Rocky Romero - A decent match is all I'll say. 

A beatdown from Dan Lambert's posse to Inner Circle - This is your weekly reminder that Dan Lambert is literally the epitome of annoying wrestling fans. 

Dr Britt Baker, Rebel And Jamie Hayter lost to Tay Conti, Anna Jay And Thunder Rosa - Another reminder that WWE really messed up on not utilizing Tay Conti on weekly television. 

Jungle Boy defeated Anthony Bowens - Speaking of Max Caster's awful freestyle rap but I will say, this was the least offensive of the bunch. Oh, and Bobby Fish gave the young man a SUPLEX BEATING. 

Wardlow gave Wheelchair Yuta powerbomb destruction that led to the big man's victory - The night just couldn't get any worse for Best Friends as Matt Hardy's big money crew took Yuta's loss as an advantage to give Vest Friends an a** whopping. Meh. 

Dax Hardwood lost to Pac - the other half of FTR (Cash Wheeler), Andrade El Idolo, Malaki Black gave Pac some foot stomps until Cody Rhodes and the Lucha Brothers (aka three POCs) came to the rescue. 

AEW loves their multi-person brawl more than WWE loves their women's division as of late. 

The contract signing with Hangman Page and Kenny Omega was bloody - Ya Allah, please don't let Louis Dangoor's booking plan come true for Hangman Page as a transitional champion. Ameen.

WrestleFest DXB's Fahrenheit 971 | A Coherent W.

  Being a fan of pro wrestling (or any other medium of entertainment) does have its pros and cons when engaging with the industry as a whole.  On one hand, you've witnessed an Eddie Kingston promo that'll make you tear up more than the opening scene of Up.  On the other hand, going to the wrestling subreddit will definitely have you questioning humanity as a whole and the fact that living in an area where a wrestling presence pretty much doesn't exist like a Vince Russo-written storyline that is, you know, GOOD!?  Luckily, the latter retracted my con as a fan because I'm talking about Wrestlefest DXB and their latest joint, "971 Fahrenheit".  Martin Bushby of now Post Wrestling Alumni brought the event to my attention because like a wrestler on an episode of RAW I get distracted all the time.  So, I decided to take a short journey to a taxi then a bus then a train then a 30-minute walk to the show itself and I know I'm going to sound biased as f**k but I l...

Let's Talk About The White Rabbit In The Room.

I haven't reviewed last year's show mainly because it was so good and clearly as extreme as any ECW match and I'm happy to tell all 3 of y'all that this one is better by several inches or so. Why? *slaps my bald head* HERE'S WHY. The opening match between Sheamus and Gunther's crew ruled harder than the Mongolian empire.  It was basically an enhanced version of Sheamus' match with Gunther last night on Smackdown and I loved it.  The Brawling Brutes' victory means one thing that is clearly obvious, a rematch between Sheamus and Gunther for the intercontinental championship aka the only series of rematches I don't mind.  Ronda Rousey and Liv Morgan delivered in what was a wrestling match equivalent to the X-Men Dark Phoenix movie.  While Bianca Belair and Bayley had their equivalent to the first Iron Man movie in that it was decent.  Drew McIntyre and Karrion Kross had an okay edition of the "Meaty men slapping meat".  That spear from Edge to...

A Few Thoughts On RAW And Smackdown: RAW wasn't GREAT!?

  Since this blog will be less of a priority now considering I'm focusing on my podcast now (hit the 5 stars on Apple Podcast you sons of b*tches), I decided to share my few thoughts on RAW, Smackdown, I guess?  Smackdown.  The blue brand delivered yet another good episode this week and it's probably due to the fact that Braun Strowman taking out the Maximum Model is high-key funny as f**k.  The folks over at Titan Towers are bringing back the essence of their characters whether it's Kevin Owens, Shayna Baszler or in this case, Big Braun himself.   As a fan, you gotta love it, especially since in the case of Strowman, the dude hasn't been the same since he turned heel 4 years ago when feuding with Roman Reigns for the universal title.   Other noteworthy segments include Logan Paul challenging Roman Reigns for the big world universal multiverse galactic cinematic championship.  Imagine they pulled that match off 7 years ago back when Logan was on V...
