THE Coherent AEW Take: AEW Kinda Lame!?

 IT'S TIME FOR SOME RAMPAGE USING THE DYNAMITE! 

I tried being clever with the intros y'all. Another thing that isn't all that clever to mention I guess is that both episodes were pretty underwhelming in that they didn't do much for me other than point out, "at least there wasn't a bunch of rematches I've seen way too many times."

Let me describe my feelings toward both episodes in a short rap song so bad, it might as well have come out of Max Caster's mouth. 

Yo, yo, this sh*t is so lame, I don't know who else to blame (TOONYYYYY!). MJF be catching Ws but not as hard as AEW (at least this week). 

Rampage.

Highlights. 

Lee Johnson And Brock Anderson vs FTR. 

Gotta say, this was pretty fun to watch. I know the commentators have mentioned it many times but Brock Anderson wrestling inside the ring is like watching his own father wrestle. 

Unfortunately for Brock, FTR defeated him as well as his tag partner with the spike piledriver. 

Some Other Things That Happened. 

Jon Moxley defeated Anthony Bowens - This might as well be the Anthony Bowens match because this was basically a showcase of Bowens' in-ring skills. And it was decent.

Jade Cargill defeated Julia Hart - Yea, this was rough. 

Private Party lost to The Jurassic Express for the AEW world tag team championship - I hate putting this match on here given that I love those days but this didn't do it for me. 

Dynamite. 

Highlights. 

There is none because it wasn't a good show. 

Some Other Things That Happened. 

Jon Moxley being offered to join Bryan Danielson - I smell a feuuuuuud! 

By the way, Moxley was supposed to face a guy who later, was released by AEW due to the fact that he sounded like somebody out of an Andrew Callaghan Channel 5 video but WAY WAY worse. 

DAN LAMBERT SIDES WITH MISOGYNY PART 23467788 - Brandi with the least effective slap I've ever seen. 

Death Triangle lost to the Knights Of The Black Throne - A decent match is all I'll say. 

Ruby Soho pulled out the L over Nyla Rose - Al Cool Bin Tamam. 

Hangman and Lance Archer brawler before their match - Nothing screams AEW then with brawls. 

MJF rolled up to victory over CM Punk - Don't tell me that AEW wouldn't pull the "wrestler lost in their hometown" cliche again, you hear me!?

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...
