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 Smackdown 17/12/21 | A Coherent Review.

Another week, another meh episode of Smackdown although the ending was pretty eye-opening.  Images via WWE.com   The Viking Raiders vs Jinder Mahal And Shanky.  After a backstage segment that included The Usos roasting Xavier Woods' kingship, the blue brand really started the show with a match (not this one) which is a rare thing to see on main roster television. And the match wasn't bad at all.  The Viking Raider defeated the team of Jinder and Shanky with a splash from Ivor. Does everyone want a Happy Corbin segment? Well, no and Drew McIntyre agrees as he took out Corbin and Madcap Moss to retrieve his sword which sounds like a bad King Arthur comedy flick or something.  Naomi Wants A Match With Sonya Deville.  Naomi is upset at how Sonya Deville acted like a Susan over the past few months so the glow queen challenged the actual manager to a match at Day 1 and Sonya was like, "Ahhhh, no".  Naomi then had a match with Shayna Baszler and within minute...

My Coherent Wrestling Wednesdays: Chris Jericho Offers Moxley To Join Inner Circle, The Go-Home Show Before Dec 18th.

I thought the middle act of AEW Dynamite suffered some pacing issues even though it was overall a much stronger show than last week's episode.  The latest episode of NXT, however, has built a solid foundation on what's to come on December 18th. The main question is, which show do I like better? The answer is AEW.  NXT  Highlights. Angel Garza vs Lio Rush For The NXT Cruiserweight Championship.  Was this match better than their first encounter? Like Snoop Dogg's verse in Sasha Banks' theme song, "Hell yea". Garza slams Rush hard on the ring apron by pushing the champ. Moments later, Garza delivers the Spanish Fly and Rush kicked out of that.  As Rush hits the frog splash, the champ wanted to pull him back in the middle of the ring but instead, he ripped off Garza's pants (nice attention to detail).  Angel then hits the wind clipper but Lio kicked out which led to a wind clipper submission and the man of the hour tapped out which m...

NXT Takeover Phoenix | My Coherent Review.

NXT Takeover was a great show with great wrestling, energetic crowd and intriguing storytelling (OMG, REALLY? I didn’t know that).  War Raiders vs The Undisputed Era (Kyle O’ Reilly and Roderick Strong) for the NXT Tag Team Championship.  First off, cool entrance by War Raiders. Secondly, the match was entertaining. At one point, Strong did a superplex to Hanson. The match ended with War Raiders delivered the Fallout to Kyle O ‘Reilly and won the match. War Raiders are the new NXT Tag Team Champions deservedly so.  Matt Riddle vs Kassius Ohno. During the match, Ohno hit Riddle right on his mouth which absolutely looked brutal. Minutes after that, Riddle hits Ohno with series of elbow strikes which made Ohno tap out and won the match. A very unique finish but nevertheless, this was a decent match.  Johnny Gargano vs Ricochet for the NXT North American Championship.  Those guys put on the absolute clinic of a wrestling match. But that ending ...
