THE Coherent AEW Take: Dax Harwood Cash Wheeler BEST AEW Dynamite Match EVER!?

AEW delivered a solid, enjoyable week of programming which that statement alone is as predictable as a distraction finish. 

Rampage. 

Highlights. 

HOOK Said Something. 

I know it's weird that a piece of dialogue is the only highlight of this episode but considering that Hook hasn't uttered a single word and his intimidation factor, made this scene pretty memorable. 

Some Other Things That Happened. 

Tomohiro Ishi lost to Adam Cole In The Owen Hart Foundation Tournament - Not gonna lie, seeing two performers from two different brands while Orange Cassidy and Rocky Romero were roaming around ringside felt like I was watching gameplay of WWE 2k because of how random this entire thing was. 

Jade Cargill retained the TBS championship against Maria Shafir - that one-legged pin from Cargill into a leg bar from Shafir was *chef's kiss*. 

Lance Archer DESTROYED Serpentico - Somebody check on Luther because his friend is getting destroyed and I'm not sure if he feels good about that. 

Eddie Kingston defeated Daniel Garcia - Garcia's chest is looking as red as Eva Marie's hair which has to be the weirdest comparison I've ever made. 

Dynamite. 

Highlights. 

Dax Harwood vs Cash Wheeler. Owen Hart Foundation Tournament. 

I've never had the thought of splitting them up at least for one match and man, that "light bulb" turned out to be one hell of an idea. This was, by far, the best match from the Owen Hart Foundation Tournament. 

Kinda reminded me of when they split up Johnny Gargano and Tomasso Ciampa just for the cruiserweight classic. 

After a quick sequence of near falls pin, Dax got him with an inside cradle to advance into the tournament. 

Hikaru vs Serena Deeb In A Street Fight. 

Unfortunately, the crowd was kinda cooled off during this entire bout but I damn sure wasn't because this encounter ruled harder than Mansa Musa. 

Deeb has been built into a solid challenger for the AEW world women's championship so the big W for her just made all the sense in the world. 

Some Other Things That Happened. 

CM Punk was like, "I like you fans but also, that AEW title is mine" - Eh. 

Bryan Danielson, Jon Moxley and Wheeler Yuta defeated QT Marshall, Aaron Solo and Nick Coromoto - Yuta being part of the Blackpool Combat Club is a nice addition. 

Wardlow defeated Lance Archer - Aka two of the best theme songs in AEW today but unfortunately, we don't get to hear one of them because of that POS, MJF. 

Eddie Kingston really doesn't like Chris Jericho - Yea, no f**king sh*t, Omar. 

Rey Felix is back, boys - Happy to see the man. 

Adam Cole, Kyle O'Reilly, Bobby Fish and the Young Bucks defeated Brock Anderson, Lee Johnson, Dante Martin and Varsity Blonds - I'm smelling a turn from Adam Cole to The Young Bucks at some point. 

Scorpio Sky took back the TNT championship against Sammy Guevara in a ladder match - Aka the Sasha Banks and Charlotte Flair of the midcard division but the difference is that their matches were actually good.

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...
