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. 

Images via WWE.com 

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?

WWE RAW 30/12/19 | My Coherent Review.

I'm back from a two-week review hiatus and honestly, it was refreshing but this ain't about me. You're here for my thoughts on the final RAW of the 2010s and it was decent until the ending.  I'm still in shock as to what did I just witness. I've not been this shocked from seeing an ending like that probably since watching the movie "Schindler's List".  Kevin Owens Wants To Take Seth Rollins And AOP Down.  Owens in a promo, says that the heel trio are disrespecting Rey Mysterio and shows footage of Mysterio losing the US title to Andrade in a house show even though the luchador wasn't 100%.  Seth Rollins and his friends came out and Kevin Owens immediately tried to attack AOP but that did not fail thanks to Samoa Joe and chaos has ensued to start off RAW.  Charly Caruso showed up to interview Samoa Joe about what AOP and Rollins did to him last week to which a bunch of security guards entered the locker room to get rid of Owens ...

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 ...

WWE NXT 25/5/21 | A Bit Late Coherent Review.

  NXT has once again, produced an engaging, well written, scripted and produced show. Why? Well *slaps his head multiple times* Here's why.  Images via WWE.com   Ember Moon And Shotzi Blackheart vs Raquel Gonzalez And Dakota Kai. The match ended with a win from the good guys to which they immediately got a BEATING from the NXT women's champion.  It is still so weird that Raquel made a u-turn to the good side and her babyface run didn't even last a week.  I will say, the opening contest was pretty good.  In a produced scene, Hit Row wants all of the championship gold. I'm hoping they fulfil the promise real quick because Hit Row is already one of my favourite groups in wrestling.  Speaking of promos, Tommaso Ciampa and Timothy Thatcher simply stated that they wanted to beat the holy hell out of the Grizzled Young Veterans.  Zack Gibson and British Seth Green, James Blake, wanted to move on from Ciampa and Thatcher but they do not want to move on fr...
