WWE Day Numero Uno | A Coherent Review.

WWE with their PPVs as of late (*cough* I mean premium live events), is like a movie with bad marketing you know like Netflix with their content. 

And after seeing the entire program, the show makes me wanna say…..

It's new years day and it's same old sh*t! 

It's new years day and it's same old WHAT! 

It's new years day and it's same old sh*t! 

It's new years day and it's same old sh*t! 

In other words, the event was a visual potato salad in that it's uninspiring but the salt and pepper made the thing someway, somehow, a tiny bit edible. 

But, at least it wasn't 4 hours long, right?

Sheamus And Ridge Holland vs Cesaro And Ricochet. 


My man Holland took a BIG SHANK ON THE NOSE, YEA! 

Both Sheamus and his former Bar comrade, Cesaro were the clear highlight in this tag team encounter. Cesaro was blindsided by the great whitey tighty thanks to the brogue kick and that's how the bad guys won the match (don’t you ever call Sheamus that ever again, Omar). 

The New Day vs The Usos For The SmackDown Tag Team Championship. 


It's another set of New Day and Usos matches and I'll NEVER give it a good old thumbs down because this opening match ruled like a well functioning monarch. 

Despite the struggle Usos had within the first few moments of the match, they, in the most unexpected conclusion, retained the championship with the 3D. 

Drew McIntyre vs Madcap Moss. 


A match you've seen many times on Smackdown is a match worthy of being scheduled for a premium live event……... if you hate yourself. 

The man with haggis in his body, defeated Midcap Moss with the claymore kick. 

RKBRO vs The Street Profits For The RAW Tag Team Championship. 


An extended version of a solid match on an episode of Monday Night RAW. 

The tag team champions still called themselves as the top guys of the 3 team division due to a pop-up from Riddle followed by an RKO by Randall to Montez Ford. 

Edge vs The Miz. 

A feud based on a match you've seen more than once on a 2011 episode of Smackdown but couldn't remember it all because that's how much people cared about WWE revisiting the encounter.  

You wanna know the best part about this (if you can call it that)? It ended with a distraction finish. 

Beth Phoenix distracted Miz which gave Edge the opportunity to hit the spear and win the entire match. 

I smell a rematch this time a mixed tag team match and I don't like it. 

Becky Lynch vs Liv Morgan For The RAW Women's Championship. 


Liv Morgan is the woman that stepped the hell up considering she held herself very well with a star like Becky Lynch. 

However, Morgan, unfortunately, lost the match and I'm hoping this ain't the last of Liv in a title picture but y'all know WWE with their creative process. 

Seth Rollins vs Bobby Lashley vs Brock Lesnar vs Big E vs Kevin Owens For The WWE Championship. 


It's rare that the main event is the match that lit the spark out of hours long premium live intercourse…….oops I mean premium live event but it did here.  

Brook Shagner delivered the F5 to Big E to win his 5th WWE championship. 

It begs the question of whether the original plan was for Brick Langer to win the universal championship but we'll never know. 

Either way, I surprisingly didn't mind this finish as long as it sets up for a Brock and Bobby Lashley match at Wrestlemania 38. 

It really sucks that Big E's run as WWE champion felt like an anime filler arc and should've been presented a lot better on television and I can tell solely as a viewer,  the man himself tried so hard to be the exact opposite of that. 

As far as the news of Roman Reigns testing positive for Covid, I'm hoping Reigns makes the speediest recovery. 

So, to recap for all of you slow mofos. 

Like: New Day vs The Usos, fatal 5 way, LIV F’ING MORGAN! 

Didn't like: Edge vs Miz, why Drew McIntyre and Midcap Moss?

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...

The 5 News Week: An Interview With ROH's Eli Isom, Fans Singing Petitions For Charlotte Flair Not Winning Titles Anymore!?

Hello, my fellow wrestling fans and welcome to the 5 news week. The post where I report 5 major or minor news of the week that I don't have time to do it separately. Without further ado, here are the 5 news week. An Interview With ROH's Eli Isom.  Yes. After several and several and several of The 5 News Week articles that I've been putting out since late 2018, I finally got an interview for you guys.  The person in question is Ring Of Honour's Eli Isom. Since graduating from the ROH Dojo, Isom has worked and learned from the absolute best in the industry:  "I’m lucky that I got a chance to train from scratch with ROH, without that kind of training who knows where I’d be right now." So, without further ado, here is the conversation I had with Eli.  Omar: My first question is, how would you describe the persona of "Eli Isom" to resident WWE shills like myself? Eli Isom: For me, my wrestling persona isn’t too far off from who I real...

A Brief Guide To Pro Wrestling Websites.

So. You just become a fan of pro wrestling and have dabbled into the fandom for a bit (it's a mess ain't it?) You've just followed some news sites' social media platforms but aren't sure whether the articles they put out are accurate or not.  Well, you got the right guy to solve that problem if it's from a blog that barely gets any traction (that would be me in case you were confused).  The news we get from the medium that is pro wrestling is an integral part of the online space.  The reason being is that it's not only a great conversation starter but you could also learn something new today about the industry you love.  That doesn't mean that all of the news you see on the timeline is reliable.  I'm here to hopefully give you a guide to wrestling sites.  There are many wrestling websites out there but I wanna highlight some of the notable ones.  Okay? Here we go.  #1: Wrestling Observer Newsletter aka F4WOnline.  I can't talk about a guide t...
