WWE NXT 2.0 30/11/21 | A Coherent Review.

NXT this week wasn't as bad as last week. It was still kinda average overall but I didn't have a sense of boredom throughout the show.

Kay Lee Ray vs Dakota Kai In A War Games Advantage Ladder Match. 

Aka the *Scottish accent* Glasgae vs The kiwi in a solid opening match. 

Kay Lee Ray climbed up and grabbed the briefcase to win the War Games advantage. 

If I was taking part in the match, I'm hoping the war games advantage contract included me not wrestling and standing there like a battle royal match or something. 

Cameron Grimes vs Andre Chase. 

This match and what happened after it was meh. 

After Grimes' defeat over Andre, Duke Hudson showed Grimes the bald version of the North Carolina native and like all people with hair that isn't receding, it pissed Grimes off. 


Msk finally met the shaman at least that's what I've concluded based on the smoke coming out of the room and the bright a** light.  Do I care about this? Nope. 

Kyle O'Reilly And Von Wagner vs Legado De La Fantasma. Number One Contender's Match.  

Remember when Kyle O'Reilly was fighting for the NXT championship? Good times. 

At least his team won the right to be part of the NXT tag team championship, right? 


Tiffany Stratton prepares her upcoming NXT debut by going shopping. If she shopped on the chaos that is Black Friday, the debut would've been delayed by several months. 

Edris Enofe vs Solo Sikoa. 


Speaking of NXT debuts. And unfortunately for Enofe, he lost his match to Solo Sikoa because Sikoa's big and to quote the late Paul Mooney, "so mo n***as". 

Unlike a Paul Mooney stand up, nobody cares about Boa showing up to brawl with Sikoa. 

Joe Gacy's All-Inclusive Invitational. 


Joe Gacy with his lamest attempt at being a white saviour, decided to fight anyone regardless of size, race or even gender. 

That last part solidifies my perspective that Triple H has definitely nothing to do with NXT 2.0. 

Out came The Diamond Mine and Strong gave the guy an elbow strike which led to Gacy immediately leaving the ring. 

Cool? 

Indi Hartwell And Persia Pirotta vs Yulisa Leon And Valentina Ford. 

Like Malcolm Bivens, I am now a Persia Pirotta fan because God damn, that woman is impressive in the ring. 

And It's all thanks to her that she and Hartwell won the match.  

Bron Breakker vs Johnny Gargano In A War Games Advantage Ladder Match. 


Bron held himself pretty well with NXT's own Johnny Gargano (or soon to be former NXT's own?) 

The man with (Alhamdulillah) 2 Ks in his last name, wins the advantage ladder match. 

All I have to say here is that this was a fun bout from top to bottom. 

So, to recap for all of you slow mofos. 

Like: The two War Games advantage ladder matches. 

Didn't like: Nothing really?

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...
