THE Coherent AEW Take: NO MORE WHITE SAVOUR CODY! YAYYY!


For the third week in a row, I haven't reviewed a RAW episode while I'm recapping AEW. Does this mean that I'm now, THE AEW Shill!? 

To my 1 viewer who's concerned (thanks Mom), the RAW reviews will be back with more bad comedy material than ever. 

Rampage. 

Highlights. 

The Young Bucks vs Trent Barreta And Rocky Romero. 

This match rocked harder than a Trust Company song. What a darn opener this was. 

Trent went suplex city on the Jackson brothers with the amount of German suplexes being delivered. 

Unfortunately for the best friends, The Young Bucks stood tall in this opening contest with a double knee strike on Ricky Romero. 

Oh, and Jay White is here. Nice. 

Some Other Things That Happened. 

Britt Baker defeated Robyn Renegade - Eh. 

My man Hook had hooked up the victory over Blake Li - The title says it all. 

Jurassic Express retained the world tag belts over The Smoking Son Gunns - Woah, Woah, Woah? 

Dynamite. 

Highlights. 

NO MORE WHITE SAVIOUR, CODY! YAYYYYY! 

For real though, Cody Rhodes has been an integral part of AEW's success in terms of the storytelling both inside and outside the ring (at least for the most part). 

Here's hoping Titan Towers doesn't paint his face and call him "Stardust" again. 

Daniel Bryan vs Lee Moriarty. 

This match being on this week's episode was like watching the Atomic Heart trailer in the sense that I reacted, "yes, please!" 

And I wasn't surprised that the match ruled harder than the bi icon Alexander the great.

After Bryan defeated the young talented upstart, Lee Moriarty, the American dragon wanted an answer regarding a potential alliance between the submission machine and Jon Moxley (aka my fellow receding hairline brother). 

To which Jonny Mox was like, "Nah, I'm good." 

Thunder Rosa vs Mercedes Martinez In A No DQ Match. 

Shout out to the ladies because this match was really, really, really good. Rosa picked up the victory which led to the winner of the match showing some respect to Martinez. 

Oh, and Thunder Rosa took a beating from Britt Baker's non-Karen resistant managers. 

Some Other Things That Happened. 

CM Punk said, "MJF sucks, my dudes" - PW Torch's Cameron Hawkins looked at CM Punk's statement on MJF like that religious aunt watching a sweaty Alabama pastor praising the lord "HALLELUJAH, YESSIR, HALLELUJAH". 

Wardlow Defeated The Acclaimed Max Caster - That hard-hitting powerbomb at the end of the match from Wardlow was probably him exercising his disdain for Max Caster's freestyle raps. 

Adam Cole said, "that title is mine, cowboy!" - That match between Hangman Page and Adam Cole is going to be fun as f**k to watch. 

Santana And Ortiz took the W over Chris Jericho and Jake Hager - Yea, Eddie. Show Chris that the gift of Jericho is nothing more than bad Fozzy albums!

Sammy Guevara retained the AEW TNT Championship by defeating Darby Allin - While I thought the main event was kinda okay, Sammy Guevara's TNT title reign gets a 2 thumbs up from my end. 

But, Andrade El Idolo as TNT champion? I'll take it.

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...
