THE Coherent AEW Take: Tell That Redneck That Bryan's Arrogant, You Feel Me?

The Elite brand has once again delivered a solid program this week. I don't have a witty thing to say about it because I am as unfunny as Kalya Braxton's Twitter timeline. 

Rampage.   

Highlights. 

Adam Cole And Bobby Fish vs Orange Cassidy And Wheeler Yuta.

A fantastic opener is all I'll say. The team that consists of former Undisputed Era members, wins with a Falcon Arrow to Yuta. 

Some Other Things That Happened. 

Riho defeated Britt Baker - I guess Britt Baker got DE. FE. ATED. 

Daniel Garza lost to Eddie Kingston - Chris Jericho cleaned house as he got rid of 2 point 0 following their beatdown to Kingston. Like all the white saviour movies, the white man saves the day. 

Dynamite. 

Highlights. 

Bryan Danielson vs Alan "5" Angels. 

Another awesome Bryan Danielson match? 

Bryan's arrogance is what got him to win against Dark Order's own, Alan Angels. 

Hangman Page and Bryan Danielson had a verbal back and forth to which John Silver wanted to fight Bryan on behalf of his friend but the American Dragon was like, "You're beneath me" which has made the anti smarks community pretty happy with that line. 

Some Other Things That Happened. 

CM Punk defeated Lee Moriarty - Lee has massive potential. To all my WWE shills, do not sleep on the guy because we might be calling him AEW champion Lee Moriarty in the near future. 

Oh, and MJF continues his verbal disdain over CM Punk. Why? Because he's living Triple H's fantasy, I guess? 

Adam Cole and The Young Bucks kicked the holy hell out of Orange Cassidy - You know it's all about the KICK! VANILLA BOYS BAY BAY! 

Wardlow absolutely demolished Ac Adams - Oh look, it's Shawn Spears. Nice! (sarcasm of course)

Sting and Darby Allin defeated the Gunn Club - aka the quickest tag team match I've ever seen for a toilet break (I'm sorry guys. I had Pizza Hut last night).

Andrade El Idolo lost to Cody Rhodes in a no DQ match - I wish I don't hate myself as much as Cody Rhodes because going through a burning table like that must be tough.

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 ...

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...

The Obsession With Ratings. Warranted Or Not?

(Just a bit of a heads-up, this article contains a lot of the word "ratings").  Rating. Rating. Rating. It is a word that you see or hear many times throughout your wrestling fandom but why is that?  Well, it's interesting to see how your weekly consumption does by the numbers every week.  However, that conversation can turn the other way.  The toxic, " logic-filled" , gatekeeping way that is (you see why I muted the word "rating" on Twitter?).  Fans have been talking about TV ratings for years but that discussion has skyrocketed once AEW Dynamite and NXT airs on the same night every week ya know because wrestling fans am I right?  Before I answer the question of whether the obsession with TV ratings is warranted or not, I'll first have to briefly describe the Nielsen rating (which is an American TV rating system. No sh*t, Omar).  A Summary Of The History Of The Nielsen Ratings.  The Nielsen rating system was introduced...
