A Very LATE AEW Coherent Take: AEW Got Too Many TITLES!?

It's Friday. You know what that means. An AEW recap series that comes out as consistent as Vince McMahon's creative vision. You know what's consistent? How enjoyable Rampage and Dynamite are for the most part. 

Rampage. 

Highlights. 

Get Well Soon CM Punk. 

Headline spitting facts here. The fact that it's a match elimination series of a battle Royal then a one-on-one match then another one-on-one match at Forbidden Door and not a full-fledged tournament was the right choice considering how common tournaments are in AEW (also, please, let Adam Cole be the interim champion). 

The Young Bucks vs The Lucha Bros. 

Anything with the Bucks and Lucha Bros will always make me utter the word "Pog" like a typical Twitch chatter that has nothing going for themselves. 

Unlike their encounter at last year's All Out PPV, The Young Bucks stood tall against the former tag team champions. 

Some Other Things That Happened. 

Kiera Hogan lost to Athena - I guess Kiera wasn't one hundy on Friday. 

Scorpio Sky defeated Dante Martin for the TNT championship - Dante had a world and a TNT championship match this year alone? Let's freaking go. 

Dynamite. 

Highlights. 

That All Atlantic Championship Goes Hard Bruh.

I like the design although I do think AEW has a crap ton of titles (especially with the acquisition of ROH). 

Buddy Matthews vs Pac. All Atlantic Championship Tournament. 

That match was great. Simple as, bruf. Pac defeated the Aussie man to advance in the tournament. 

Some Other Things That Happened. 

Here we go. Casino battle royal time - A decent way to open the show. Kyle O'Reilly won the whole thing and faced Jonny Mox later in the episode and……….. 

Jon Moxley defeated Kyle O'Reilly to face probably Hiroshi Tanahashi at Forbidden Door - All I can say about the entire booking decision for the world championship is that Hangman losing the title wasn't the right call. AEW could've saved themselves a ton of headaches. 

Will Ospreay is here. *unenthusiastic* Yay! - Coolinos.

Hangman Page wants OKADA - Adam Cole pulled a Jack Black from Nacho Libre and replied, "you're crazy". Oh, and Page defeated David Finlay in case all 2 and a half of y'all were wondering. 

Wardlow is eyeing the TNT championship - can't blame him because that title with the gold and purple combination is so beautiful. 

Thunder Rosa retained the AEW world women's championship defeating Maria Shafir -  Aka a consequence of AEW having more titles than MCU films.

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 ...
