THE Coherent AEW Take: AEW kinda DISSAPOINTING!?

Sorry for not covering AEW for *looks at the archives* Since what it feels like the year 1456 AD. 

Enough of the lame jokes and excuses, how did AEW do this week? Other than Wheeler Yuta stealing the show on the latest episode of Rampage, THE elite brand simply didn't deliver elite content. It was just kinda okay. 

Rampage. 

Highlights. 

YUTAAAAAAAAAA! 

We're not even in the middle of the month and already, we got a match of the year candidate. Wheeler walked out of this match as a legit main eventer that could possibly compete for the world title which I wouldn't mind. 

It was so good, Moxley's mentor, William Regal shook Wheeler's hand out of respect (uh, I'd wash my hands faster than Wally West if I was Regal). 

Sammy Guevara Nas Level ETHERED Dan Lambert's Misogyny And Wants That TNT Championship Too. 

Based Sammy Guevara. 

Oh, and Ethan Page can cut it both in promos and in m…..…………… (bro, it's Ramadan). 

Some Other Things That Happened. 

Bryan Danielson defeated Trent Baretta - Danielson has more submissions than WWE has with creativity. 

Red Velvet won against Willow Nightingale In The Owen Hart Foundation Tournament Round one - First impressions of seeing Willow Nightingale perform? A thumb up. 

The guy that lost to some giant named Paul last year, lost here to Shane Strickland - And ya boy Ricky was like, "let's face each other in a tag match, Shane OHHHHH!" 

Dynamite. 

Highlights. 

Ricky Starks And Will Hobbs vs Keith Lee And Shane Strickland. 

Speaking of which. This match had so much black excellence, Dr Umar Johnson would be proud. Let's just call it what it is, a fun good old fashioned tag team match, Playas! 

Taz's crew aka the POC Posse took home the W thanks to Taz himself getting involved. 

Some Other Things That Happened.

CM Punk won against Penta El Zero M - A decent opener is all I'll say

Jurassic Express retained the tag team gold against Bobby Fish and Kyle (or Kylie if you're autocorrect) O'Reilly - O'Reilly was like, "that was a fluke" by hitting the tag belt on Jungle Boy's back. My man legit gave Jungle Boy a back shot bruh. 

MJF lost to Captain Shawn Dean via a count-out - That was all thanks to one word *Jack Garland's voice in Stranger's Paradise Final Fantasy Origin* chaos. Specifically, the chaos ensued by Wardlow absolutely wrecking everybody including a bunch of security guards. 

Pro wrestling security guards are as effective as the f**king foot clan. 

Chris Jericho, Daniel Garcia and Jake Hager defeated the Puerto Rican boys in Eddie Kingston, Santana and Ortiz - Oh my God, another post-match beatdown following a multi-person match? I'm surprised. 

Marina Shafir picked up the victory over Skye Blue - Damn, their women's division sure did cooled off its steam they've built last year, huh? 

Joe won the ROH Championship and was attacked by Satnam Singh - What on Allah was that ending? I didn't know what confused me, this ending or my entire time watching Everything Everywhere All At Once.

WrestleFest DXB's Fahrenheit 971 | A Coherent W.

  Being a fan of pro wrestling (or any other medium of entertainment) does have its pros and cons when engaging with the industry as a whole.  On one hand, you've witnessed an Eddie Kingston promo that'll make you tear up more than the opening scene of Up.  On the other hand, going to the wrestling subreddit will definitely have you questioning humanity as a whole and the fact that living in an area where a wrestling presence pretty much doesn't exist like a Vince Russo-written storyline that is, you know, GOOD!?  Luckily, the latter retracted my con as a fan because I'm talking about Wrestlefest DXB and their latest joint, "971 Fahrenheit".  Martin Bushby of now Post Wrestling Alumni brought the event to my attention because like a wrestler on an episode of RAW I get distracted all the time.  So, I decided to take a short journey to a taxi then a bus then a train then a 30-minute walk to the show itself and I know I'm going to sound biased as f**k but I l...

Let's Talk About The White Rabbit In The Room.

I haven't reviewed last year's show mainly because it was so good and clearly as extreme as any ECW match and I'm happy to tell all 3 of y'all that this one is better by several inches or so. Why? *slaps my bald head* HERE'S WHY. The opening match between Sheamus and Gunther's crew ruled harder than the Mongolian empire.  It was basically an enhanced version of Sheamus' match with Gunther last night on Smackdown and I loved it.  The Brawling Brutes' victory means one thing that is clearly obvious, a rematch between Sheamus and Gunther for the intercontinental championship aka the only series of rematches I don't mind.  Ronda Rousey and Liv Morgan delivered in what was a wrestling match equivalent to the X-Men Dark Phoenix movie.  While Bianca Belair and Bayley had their equivalent to the first Iron Man movie in that it was decent.  Drew McIntyre and Karrion Kross had an okay edition of the "Meaty men slapping meat".  That spear from Edge to...

A Few Thoughts On RAW And Smackdown: RAW wasn't GREAT!?

  Since this blog will be less of a priority now considering I'm focusing on my podcast now (hit the 5 stars on Apple Podcast you sons of b*tches), I decided to share my few thoughts on RAW, Smackdown, I guess?  Smackdown.  The blue brand delivered yet another good episode this week and it's probably due to the fact that Braun Strowman taking out the Maximum Model is high-key funny as f**k.  The folks over at Titan Towers are bringing back the essence of their characters whether it's Kevin Owens, Shayna Baszler or in this case, Big Braun himself.   As a fan, you gotta love it, especially since in the case of Strowman, the dude hasn't been the same since he turned heel 4 years ago when feuding with Roman Reigns for the universal title.   Other noteworthy segments include Logan Paul challenging Roman Reigns for the big world universal multiverse galactic cinematic championship.  Imagine they pulled that match off 7 years ago back when Logan was on V...
