THE Coherent AEW Take: God, all the lead, I'm Jon Moxley!

Apologies for avoiding talking about AEW's flagship shows this week.

Luckily, my avoidance of sorts wasn't as bad as when my man Hangman Page took the blackout from Lance Archer on top of the chair. 

That's a Will Smith type of pain that I just cannot handle because back pains are the worst. 

I did enjoy what the elite brand had to offer this past week so let's get to it. 

Rampage. 

Highlights. 

Adam Cole vs Trent Beretta. 

I bet Cole looked at Trent's military buzz cut and said, "thank God it ain't me." 

What I would bet on is this match because it's the best encounter of the entire episode. 

The person calling himself "TheChugs" on Twitch, won the match with the last shot. 

Some Other Things That Happened. 

Shawn Spears sends a message to CM Punk - Wait, Spears' alive!? 

Leyla Hirsch, Kris Statlander and Red Velvet lost to Nyla Rose, The Bunny And Penelope Ford - It doesn't include a monarch character with a bad oie bruf accent so that's nice. 

Ricky Starks vs Jay Lethal soon? - To tell you whether I'm on board with this match is a quote from Rick Ross which is, "No sir. Not me!" 

The Jurassic Express retained the world tag belts against Dark Order's John Silver And Alex Reynolds - A reminder that John Silver's impression of Mark Henry's "It's time for the main event" is funnier than any of Dave Chappelle's recent comedy specials. 

Dynamite. 

Highlights. 

JON MOXLEY IS BACK! 

The former AEW champ is back and my man Jonny Mox is looking prettay, prettay, pretty good. 

Moxley cut a very passionate promo about his struggles and how he's going to beat the sh*t of those darn demons like Buffy Summers. 

I do believe that this scene (as well as the Cody one later in the episode) is a great example of improvisational dialogue because the promo was spoken from the heart which made the segment even more authentic. 

Speaking of the Cody promo.……….

Cody Rhodes Said, "Sammy Guevara. WHO!?" 

In this segment, Cody Rhodes basically compared himself between his recent run-in pro wrestling and CM Punk's journey.

To all of the people out there that were mad Rhodes didn't mention Sammy Guevara, I gotta ask y'all, you do realize he's, to quote Billie Elish, a bad guy right? 

Here's something that at times, I don't wanna admit. Babyface Cody Rhodes wasn't terrible overall (besides the promo that shall be named as "black/white"). 

It's just that the writing for the character was so weak that it felt like it was time for a change. 

And Cody has definitely embraced the hate, if you know what I mean. 

Some Other Things That Happened. 

Adam Cole and Britt Baker beat Orange Cassidy And Kris Statlander - Where's my mind during this match? Somewhere not on the screen because I napped throughout most of the encounter. 

CM Punk defeated Shawn Spears - See you in several or so months, Shawn! 

Malaki Black and Brody King defeated The Varsity Blonds - My WWE shill a** regret not discovering Brody King a LOT sooner because the dude is legit that damn good. 

Oh, and Pac was blindfolded while holding a card (that sounded so weird out of context).  

"Everybody dieeeess after hearing Dan Lamberrrrt" - Yes. It's a reference to Lance Archer' theme song and guess what? I'll pat myself on the back because that statement was witty and clever. 

Lance Archer defeated Frankie Kazarian with the blackout that led to a bit of a brawl between Archer and "cowboy sh*te" Hangman Page. 

Serena Deeb said, "I'm all for the violence" - Gotta say, I'm liking whatever they're doing with her. Deeb picked up the dub over Skye Blue. 

The Acclaimed lost to Darby Allin and Sting - Yo. Yo…….. Nah, I suck at this, like Max Caster.

WWE RAW 11/2/19 | My Coherent Review.

This go home show makes me wanna go home if I was an attendance of this show. In other words, RAW wasn't good and here's why.  Opening Segment.  The show started off with The Authority. A stable that I actually don't mind but that a different topic. Anyways, they run down the Elimination Chamber PPV card. After that, The Man Becky Lynch came out and Triple H said that he will lift the suspension if Becky apologizes to both him and Stephanie.    Becky then told Stephanie to shut her face and she refused to apologize. The segment ended with Hunter giving her two choices. Either Becky apologizes to them or Becky's WrestleMania match is off.  Compared to the segments on RAW and Smackdown last week, this was underwhelming.  Sasha and Bayley vs Liv Morgan and Sarah Logan vs Nia Jax and Tamina. Loser enters first in the Elimination Chamber match.  The match was fine. During the match, Bayley delivered two stunners on the ...

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...

A Guide On How To Improve Wrestling Criticism.

Now, before you all verbally eat me alive like a hippopotamus (yes hippos eat humans, look that up), understand that I’m just an average dude writing about pro wrestling and doesn’t claim to be an expert in anything and that includes professional wrestling (except cooking. I’m damn good at cooking).  However, what I’ve been discovering as a pro wrestling blogger for over a year is that there are some wrestling criticism out there that just make me wanna scratch my head to the point where my hands turn into an electric shaver if that makes sense. For instance, “Why is Ricochet’s trunks red instead of white?” or “Why’s Andrade wearing his Luchador mask for his entrance every week?”  In other words, they’re nitpicking and trust me I do that ALL THE TIME in my wrestling reviews. There’s nothing wrong with nitpicking certain things but the difference is that I acknowledge that I’m nitpicking and those guys clearly don’t.  There are fans out there on the interweb that b...
