AEW Dynamite 9/3/22 | A Late Coherent Review.

Since this past week's Rampage episode is a go-home show for Revolution (aka an anarchist's favourite word besides the concept of not showering), imma just review Dynamite solely. And how was Dynoomitte!? 

To the shock of no one besides that antismark, it was a pretty darn good show. 

Inner Circle 2.0

This opening segment went from Chris Jericho and Eddie Kingston respecting each other to turning on Kingston as well as Santana and Ortiz to form an Inner Circle 2.0 with Daniel Garcia, the former Ever-Rise and Jack no Swag. 

But what made this segment so special to me wasn't Chris' millionth heel turn but rather Eddie Kingston's promo. The way he tied his dialogue with his article was SO F**KING GOOD! 

That man will always be a gem. 

Hangman Page defeated Dante Martin For AEW Title To Which………….. 

Out came Adam Cole and he basically did the "loss wasn't fair" cliche and challenged him to a 6 man tag team match, playas for next week's episode. 

Later in the show, Cole chose his Undisputed Era brothers while Page picked the current tag team champions, The Jurassic Express. 

And this is the part where I'm going to put the "should be interesting" line here. 

"I Say, Little Bryan And Jon, In An Active Goodwill. Would You Please Come Outside So I Can Play With Your Balls?" 

After the team of Jonny Mox and D Bry defeated the team of Anthony Henry and JD Drake, William Regal's dialogue was a good one but it just dragged on as long as the third act of The Batman. 

I still enjoyed how William Regal made an impact on both Mox and Danielson's wrestling tenure. 

Pac vs Wheeler Yuta. 

A decent match for what it was. Pac prevailed with the rings of Saturn. 

The Swanton Boyz Are Back! 

Matt Hardy wanted to settle the score with Andrade but things went south as El Idolo as well as The Butcher, Blade and Private Party turned on Matt. 

And you know how the story goes from here. People came out to save someone only to be blinded which led to someone else coming to the rescue. 

What makes this different is that a certain individual made their first appearance. 

And it was black Twitter's favourite wrestler, Jeff Hardy. 

Jeff didn't just clean the apartment, he cleaned the ENTIRE BUILDING! I was legitimately surprised when the Hardy Boyz's theme song was played but reading the reports, it does make a lot of sense. 

It's still surreal to hear that piece of music though. 

Wardlow said, "F that MJF kid!" 

That headline pretty much described his entire in-ring promo other than the fact that he pulled a Bobby Brown and said: "On Our Own" (I know it's "our" and not "my own" but you get what I'm saying).

Wardlow kept it "simple, stupid" with his promo and I appreciate it since the show kinda dragged on in the first-hour mark. 

Jurassic Express vs The Acclaimed For The AEW World Tag Team Championship. 

Another decent match and you know what's also decent!? Max Caster's freestyle. I actually didn't hate it this time (I think you need Allah, therapy and Indian food, Omar because that last line was concerning). 

The Jungle guys retained the championship with a doomsday device. 

Lelya Hirsh vs Thunder Rosa. Winner Faces Britt Baker For The AEW World Women's Championship. 

Hirsh brought Rosa to her limit but somehow Thunder prevailed with the fire thunder driver and the title match!? It'll take place in a salad steel cage! 

I was pulling for Hirsh to win the match just because it was something new and different but I don't hate this just because it isn't a standard rematch again in the sense that it's a different stipulation this time. 

Scorpion Sky Wins The TNT Championship. Finally! 

Well, that took a year or so! How did Sammy lose the title!? It was the RIBS, THE RIBS, THE RIBS! 

Well, his ribs and not that nasty looking sandwich from McDonald's although that is something WWE would do. 

So, to recap for all of you slow mofos. 

Like: Reminder that both Eddie Kingston and William Regal are so good at the talking thing, Finally, Scorpio Sky is the TNT champion, HARDY BOYZZZZZ! 

Didn't like: The pacing of the show was off.

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...

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 ...

WWE Smackdown Live 19/2/19 | My Coherent Review.

This show was overall, a skippable show just like RAW yesterday and here's why.  Opening segment.  The show kicked off with Shane McMahon with his usual cheap pop. After that, Shane McMahon announced that Aleister Black, Johnny Gargano, Ricochet and Tommaso Ciampa will be on SmackDown Live just like RAW last night (click here to read my RAW review).  Out came The Miz and he said that he hasn't stop thinking about their match at Elimination Chamber. Miz also said he admitted that he used Shane because Miz wanted to make Shane McMahon understand where's Miz's coming from.  Miz then wanted a rematch between him, Shane McMahon and the Usos for the SmackDown Live tag team championship to which the Usos came out and insulted The Miz.  That led to Shane McMahon saying that the rematch is on but at Fastlane in two weeks. So we got the first official match scheduled for Fastlane and considering that Shane is a McMahon and has all the Authority, I do...
