WWE NXT 2.0 16/11/21 | A Coherent Review.

I haven't reviewed NXT in two weeks and holy crap, I didn't miss much at all. 

This week's show was BO. RING and I'm trying to make this interesting by adding my lame a** humour and you know you f'd up when I have to rely on my jokes to make this week's NXT discussion somewhat engaging.

Tony D'Angelo vs Dexter Lumis. 


The scary white man vs The spicy white man. WHO WILL SURVIVE!? 

The answer is my favourite POC wrestler currently, Tony D'Angelo (that joke will never get old). 

Johnny Gargano came to check on Dexter Lumis after Camelo Hayes and Trick Williams destroyed Lumis' hand. 

Minutes later, all three guys in Dunne, Gargano and Hayes announced a triple threat match for the North American championship. 

Should be a good match, is all I'm going to say about that. 

Odyssey Jones And Jacket Time vs The Diamond Mine. 


First off, Jacket time isn't a good tag team name. It sounds like me as a 5-year-old after wearing a long black leather coat. 

Before this match took place, Joe Gacy wanted to offer his assistance of some sort with the Diamond Mine. Dave Meltzer once called Joe Gacy's character, "a woke gimmick". Just wanted to point that out. 

All lame banter aside, the match was okay. Odyssey Jones scored the victory for his team by pinning the cruiserweight champion. Eh. 


LA Knight continues to talk about his disdain with Grayson Waller. Cool.  

Cameron Grimes And Duke Hudson Poker Face-off. 


Apparently, Duke can't read Grimes, can't read Grimes no, he can't read Grimes' poker face because Cameron got Duke like nobody. 

Oh, and Duke kicked Grimes out of frustration. I mean, I once watched a rivalry over spilled coffee so what could go wrong with this feud? Probably nothing because I don't care about this entire thing. 

Andre Chase vs Xyon Quinn. 


After Quinn's victory over Andre Chase, Quinn took a beating from Legado De La Fantasma due to Quinn's rejection of joining the group I suppose because like I said in the opening piece, I haven't watched an NXT episode since the last time I reviewed the show two week back. 

Kyle O'Reilly And Von Wagner vs Josh Briggs And Brooks Jensen. 

This was aight. Von Wagner aka a bad recasting of Hangman Adam Page, led his tag team partner to victory. 

O'Reilly is trying to relive his good old days of being in a tag team once again but Von Wagner isn't the guy I pictured when I think of Bobby Fish. 

Now thinking about it, I kinda feel sorry for that white dude. 


Grayson Waller spilled the tea with Lash Legend, saying that likes, followers and engagement matters more than the "boyhood dream". Well, the "likes, followers and engagement matter more" the statement explains the existence of @90sWWE. 

Persia Pirotta vs Gabby Stephens And Jenna Levy. 

Pirotta's impressive in-ring skills were the highlight of a yawn-inducing NXT 2.0. Pirotta wins here. 


When Msk were at an airport trying to find their "shaman", I first assumed that they were joining Lince Dorado in beating the sh*t out of Cody Starbuck but I was clearly wrong (or AM I??). 

Dakota Kai vs Raquel Gonzalez. 


The match ended via a DQ because Toxic Attraction gave a stomping on Gonzalez. That led to all-out chaos between Toxic Attraction, Dakota Kai, Cora Jade and Io Shirai. 

And you know what that means? A double steel cage match. Oh, I meant War Games and I've never felt this sense of disappointment quite like hearing the word "War Games". It's extra disappointing that my man Willy Re didn't shout "War Games". 


And the final segment goes to Tommaso Ciampa's promo that sounded like your uncle uttering the word "hipster" with anything new. 

By the time this scene was done, I legit fell asleep for 3 hours. NXT is Wednesday Night RAW minus Corey Graves. 

So, to recap for all of you slow mofos. 

Like: Persia Pirotta is kinda good in the ring? 

Didn't like: doesn't it count when I say pretty much everything?

Should Dave Meltzer Get Rid Of His Rating System?

So a few weeks ago, good old Dave Meltzer of the wrestling observer newsletter gave the Kazuchika Okada vs Kenny omega match at dominion 2018 a 7-star rating. According to the interent wrestling database , this match is by far his HIGHEST match rating ever (i don't blame him because the match was amazing). So statistically, this is his favourite match of all time . Now, why I'm writing this now?  Well, his best match ratings have been a consistent 5 stars since 1983 with the exception of all the Omega vs Okada matches and the Mitsuharu Misawa vs Toshiaki Kawada match at AJPW's Budokan hall show in June of 1994.  There are fans that take his match ratings as an offence somehow like "Why he rates X match better than Y match?" or thinks that he "hates" WWE which is ridiculous considering that he gave three WWE matches a 5 star ratings just this past year. One was the ladder match to crown the first ever NXT North American champion, the Johnny Garga...

WWE Smackdown Live 10/7/18 | My Coherent Review.

Smackdown live was a bad show that did nothing as a wrestling fan to gain any excitement for extreme rules. Why you ask? Well i'm gonna give you what's good. No scratch that, i'm gonna give you what's ok and what's bad. Here we go. WHAT'S OK The opening segment and the brawl after that The opening segment was meh. And the brawl after that was fine. Didn't make me go "OHHHHHHHHHHH" or anything like along those lines. That brawl leads to a TEN MAN TAG TEAM match (Ummmmmm no shit omar). I will say this, the segment kinda teased the fact that maybe kane will turn on his best friend? I don't know. Should be interesting.  Andrade "cien" almas vs Sin cara The match was surprisingly decent. At one point andrade delivered a devastating stomp to sin cara on the ring apron. Andrade wins with a running knee to sin cara on the middle rope. Hoping andrade can move on to bigger and better things.  WHAT'S BAD ...

WWE Smackdown Live 19/2/19 | My Coherent Review.

This show was overall, a skippable show just like RAW yesterday and here's why.  Opening segment.  The show kicked off with Shane McMahon with his usual cheap pop. After that, Shane McMahon announced that Aleister Black, Johnny Gargano, Ricochet and Tommaso Ciampa will be on SmackDown Live just like RAW last night (click here to read my RAW review).  Out came The Miz and he said that he hasn't stop thinking about their match at Elimination Chamber. Miz also said he admitted that he used Shane because Miz wanted to make Shane McMahon understand where's Miz's coming from.  Miz then wanted a rematch between him, Shane McMahon and the Usos for the SmackDown Live tag team championship to which the Usos came out and insulted The Miz.  That led to Shane McMahon saying that the rematch is on but at Fastlane in two weeks. So we got the first official match scheduled for Fastlane and considering that Shane is a McMahon and has all the Authority, I do...
