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.

Top 7 Best NXT Takeover Theme Songs.

Everbody likes to put on some good music. You like good music. Your friends and family like good music. However, what makes a song good is completely subjective but in my opinion, NXT are nailing it with their takeover theme songs and I'm ranking them on a glorified subjective form of content and that is list videos/articles or in my case a top seven list. Without further ado, Here are my top seven best NXT takeover theme songs.  7. Serpents by Neck Deep   The reason why I like this song so much is that   it gives me some early 2000s punk rock which by listening to this song, it feels like they're paying a homage to that era. overall a good listen that depending on how old you are will give a nostalgic feel like I did.  6. Ace Of Spades by  Motörhead Now, l like me some Motörhead. Triple H's current theme and the evolution theme song is some of my favourite theme music of all time and this is no exception. The only critique I have for this song ...

The 5 News Week Look-Back: Batista's Match With Triple H At Wrestlemania 35 Supposed To Be A Hell In A Cell!?, A Look Back At Eric Bischoff's Role As Executive Director.

Hello, my fellow wrestling fans and welcome to the 5 News Week where I usually report on the 5 major or minor news of the week but I'm not doing that here if you can't tell from the graphic I made (you're welcome, by the way).  But Rather, all throughout December, I'm going to look back at some of the news that came out in 2019. The start of a new decade is going to be upon us in the coming days and that can be exciting especially for the future of the wrestling business as a whole. I hope you guys celebrate the new year's day and of course, drink responsibly.  Fans Frustration Over The Booking Of The Main Roster Women's Division.  I wrote an article earlier this year about why women's wrestling in world wrestling entertainment of the year 2018 was great (which you can click here to read the whole thing).  However, it seems like the year after (2019) was the exact opposite. Now, they did rebound the quality of storytelling in the women's div...

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...
