THE Coherent AEW Take: I Ain't Tellin' You No Lie, The Hook Brings You Back

PAGE AND BRYAN! HOOK! HOOK! HOOK! PAGE AND BRYAN! HOOK! HOOK! HOOK! 

That's it. That's the intro. 

Rampage.  

Highlights. 

HOOOOOOOOK! 

I mean, I gotta support the man himself named Hook, DUHHH! 

What can I say, I like a man that is built different, quick, agile and hard……..in professional wrestling, of course. 

Suffice to say, Hook does something that Kalya Braxton doesn't and that is, making all biracials proud. 

FTR vs Lucha Brothers for the AEW world tag team championship

Two of the best tag teams I've ever witnessed as a wrestling fan (yes, they're THAT darn good) battling it out in an opening match so banging, not even your Beats headphone can replicate it, ya feel me? 

The Lucha Brothers get to walk out of this episode of Rampage still as the reigning world tag champs. 

Some Other Things That Happened. 

Adam Cole defeated Wheeler Yuta - Adam Cole appreciation comment. 

Dynamite. 

Highlights. 

Hangman Page vs Bryan Danielson For The AEW World Championship. 

You know this match is good when it starts with a collar elbow tie-up, you know, like Goldberg vs Brock Lesnar at Wrestlemania 20. 

And you can definitely tell because, to quote Usher, they like it nice and slow. Obviously, the encounter did pick up and despite the hard-hitting action at the end, the match ended via a draw. 

While yes, the finish sounds pretty underwhelming in concept, seeing the entire context gave me the exact opposite feeling. 

Now thinking about it, the main reason why I don't mind the ending is that it aids in further character development especially for Bryan's new arrogant persona. 

In other words, I smell a rematch (no f**king sh*t, Omar). 

Some Other Things That Happened. 

Wardlow defeated Matt Sydal - Shawn Spears gave Matt Sydal a series of chair strikes. Shawn Spears proved to us once again that he's still kinda there. 

Serena Deeb lost to Hikaru Shida - A decent match is all I'll say. 

MJF won the Dynamite diamond ring - Again!? Oh, and CM Punk as well as Sting and Darby Allin brawled with FTR and MJF. Eh.

WWE RAW 9/5/22 | A Coherent Review.

 Yes, I didn't review Wrestlemania Backlash because one, I knocked out after a long day and two, why not? I did watch the show and it's like an episode of a Telltale game in that it's short and sweet.  How was the red brand this week?  Even though Wrestlemania Backlash is over, it still feels like I'm watching a build toward that show. It's like eating yesterday's leftovers with some fresh salad on the side, ya know. I'm hoping Hell In A Cell concludes everything.  The Street Profits vs RKBRO For The RAW Tag Team Championship.  Hey, look. A good tag team match, playas! Yes, they've fought each other more times than Call Of Duty sequels but like I said, I enjoyed it. RKBRO retained the championship with an RKO from Riddle to Montez Ford.  Rhea Ripley Is Now An Evil Goth Girl.  She said, "f**k them, kids". Also, why's Edge rocking the "I believe in white genocide" look? Ripley had a match with Liv Morgan and of course, she won the w...

AEW Dynamite Blood And Guts | A Coherent Review.

Another watchable episode of AEW Dynamite but this time, it features the first-ever Blood And Guts encounter. Kenny Omega And Michael Nakazawa vs Jon Moxley And Eddie Kingston.  Don Callis announced that Michael Nakazawa is going to face Mox and Kingston all by himself only for Kenny Omega to show up and compete in the match anyway.  A weird booking choice but I'm just nitpicking.  What wasn't weird was how the match ended with a double team dragon suplex into a clothesline from the duo of Mox and Kingston to Nakazawa.  Then, a beatdown ensued from Omega's Posse to Jonny Mox and Eddie Kingston. The Young Bucks vs Jon Moxley and Eddie Kingston? I'm down.  It was revealed later in the night that a number one contenders match for the AEW championship is set up for next week's show between Orange Cassidy and Pac. I'm assuming AEW is saving the Hangman Page and Kenny Omega encounter for All Out?  Either way, AEW has the potential to tell an interesting story of ...

WWE Smackdown Season Premiere | A Coherent Review.

  It is the season premiere of Friday night Smackdown even though WWE doesn't have an offseason.  Nevertheless, it was a decent program and had a WAY better ending than whatever the hell of an ending last year's premiere of Friday night Smackdown showed.  There isn't a women's match this week and all of the AEW fanboys are looking at this like, "sEe, WWE dOeSn't feATuRe wOmeN'S mAtChEs aLsO."  pictures via WWE.com The Season Premiere Of Smackdown 2020.  The show started off with Triple H and Stephanie McMahon highlighting the scheduled matches for Smackdown as well as the superstars.  Chaos then ensued thanks to a huge brawl. Then, the "super freak" Lars Sullivan came out and delivered the freak accident to Shorty G.  Somehow, Jeff Hardy attacked him and that led to the opening match of the night between Lars and Jeff.  You know, I'm kind of surprised that two white people in McMahon and Hemsley knew who Rick James is.  Maybe I'm igno...
