THE Coherent AEW Take: YOU KNOW IT'S ALL ABOUT THE BOOM!

 I was about to talk about this week's AEW line of shows, were as mid as any Flo Rida song but then…………..YOU KNOW IT'S ALL ABOUT THE BOOM! 

The Elite brand's flagship show literally made the save like the "babyface shows up to rescue their partner from a brawl" cliche. 

Rampage.   

Highlights. 

Well, there is none as this week's show was pretty darn skippable. It was "multi-person matches with babyfaces making the save post-match". 

Some Other Things That Happened. 

Dan Lambert continues to be as annoying as an anti-smark on Reddit - This is the only time where I'm cheering for the white saviour, Cody Rhodes. Oh, and Sammy Guevara made the save for Rhodes against Lambert and his lackeys.

The Elite guys lost to Orange Cassidy, Best Friends And Rocky Romero - That brainbuster into a double superkick from Cole and the Young Bucks was cool. 

Tay Conti defeated Penelope Ford - Could've lasted a tiny bit longer but it was a decent encounter. 

The Acclaimed, Daniel Garcia and 2 Point O got the win over The Lucha Brothers, Eddie Kingston, Santana And Ortiz - The Jurassic Express came to the aid of the good guys after they took a bit of a beating from the heel team. Cool. 

Dynamite. 

Highlights. 

The Undisputed Era Is ALL ELITE. 

The people over at Titan Towers are some of the dumbest people on the face of this planet. 

How can you let go of the OG Undisputed Era trio? You could've had them face The Mysterios for the millionth time on Smackdown. 

All lame banter aside, this is legit a great way to end 2021 specifically in professional wrestling. Kyle O'Reilly is a great get for AEW as he can fulfil any role they present him. This year especially proved that statement to be true.

Oh, and Von Wagner needs a hug or something because this is sad to watch from his perspective *cue Akon's lonely*. 

Hangman Page vs Bryan Danielson 2 announcement. 

I mean, what can I say about this other than I can't wait for January 5th.

Some Other Things That Happened. 

Another Wardlow squash match - THIS IS SQUASHHHHHHHHHHHHHH! 

Dan Lambert Quotes Shakespeare - Aka the least whitest thing he's ever said on AEW. 

Nyla Rose lost to Ruby Soho in the AEW TBS championship tournament semifinals - That crowd sign from that wrestling fan is an example of why I hate this f**king fanbase. You guys need more than just deodorants and some sense of fashion. 

Malaki Black defeated Griff Garrison - Black did some striking man from Amsterdam sh*t. 

CM Punk, Sting And Darby Allin defeated The Pinnacle - CM Punk painted his face like he's coming out to "THE MAN CALLED STAANNNNNG! THE MAN CALLED STING!"

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...
