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 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 ...
