AEW Dynamite 1/6/22 | A Coherent Review

Ever since I saw that Monday was the day that AEW Double Or Nothing was happening, I knew I wouldn't be able to review a 4-hour show due to the fact this thing called "productivity" kept me occupied.

While the PPV was good, it's just way too long. Oh, and this episode of Dynamite was also pretty good.

Summer Of Punk Is Back.

The difference is that he's not going to lose to some guy named Paul Levesque.

The new AEW champion teamed up with FTR to face Max Caster and the a** men.

And of course, their a** wasn't enough to win the match as they lost to a finish formerly known as the shatter machine.

A decent but surprisingly short opener considering how that company loves their matches to be Stranger Things episode 9 levels long.

The segment didn't end here as NJPW legend Hiroshi Tanahashi appeared on Dynamite and pointed at the world title belt.

Let's freaking go, boyz.

Fans Went From Saying, "F**K YOU MAX!" To "Not Gonna Lie, My Man Is SPITTING Right Now"

The crowd having THAT reaction goes to show you how good the guy is no matter how I feel about how one-dimensional that character is.

I went from saying that the whole MJF AEW conflict of sorts isn't a work to it's absolutely a work.

I'm not the biggest fan of the "shoot, shoot cowboy" promos mainly because it breaks the illusion a little too much and it's a cheap storytelling device but this was utilized to perfection especially given the circumstances surrounding the MJF AEW situation.

Johnny Kind Of Elite!?

I say that because my man lost to the returning Bulgarian destroyer and soon to be the new member of R/Atheism, Miro.

Chris Jericho Loves His Sports Entertainment More Than The MAGA.

But something that we love is some blood and guts as it's been confirmed in this scene that Jericho’s crew is facing Eddie Kingston and his posse in a blood and guts match.

William Regal did announce blood and guts like the way he utters War Games. However, it's not the same without the word "War Games".

Nevertheless, I appreciate it for short nostalgia reasons (and no, I'm not 18 years old).

The Young Bucks And Red Dragon vs The Jurassic Express, Matt Hardy And Christian Cage.

Unlike Johnny, the people that call themselves "Elite" actually won a match thanks to every antismark's favourite tag team, The Young Bucks.

Jade Cargill Ain't Feeling For The Fallen Goddess.

Great to see Stokely Hathaway doing his thing even if WWE didn't recognize his talent.

Wardlow DESTROYS The Court Papers And Some Security Guards Provided By Mark Sterling.

Wardlow is basically everyone after they heard that they got a pay cut that week.

Britt Baker And Jamie Hayder vs Ruby Soho And Toni Storm.

A solid tag team match for what it was. Soho and Storm won the match which led to an immediate beatdown from Britt Baker and Hayder. Coolinos.

Jon Moxley vs Daniel Garcia.

This match ruled harder than the Umayyad caliphate. The match ended with AEW's signature dish, a BRAWL!

Tony Khan probably does the *chef's kiss*everytime he books a post-match/segment brawl.

So, to recap for all of you slow mofos.

Like: Hiroshi Tanahashi, MJF spitting, Jon Moxley and Daniel Garzia killed it as well as Britt Baker, Jamie Hayder, Toni Storm and Ruby Soho, Stokely Hathaway.

Didn't like: my man Johnny Elite be taking Ls like he's R Truth circa 2001.

WWE Smackdown 21/1/22 | A Coherent Review.

Another week, another time Pat McAfee shows me why he's better than Corey Graves. Both in the ring AND on the commentary table. As far as how I feel about this week's episode, it ain't good, people. It ain't good. An Image via WWE.com Sethy Mane Wanted A Tag Partner So….………. That he faces The Usos later in the show and if drippy Jesus wins, 2 out of 3 members of the Bloodline are barred off ringside in the blue title encounter (in case you were wondering, Kevin Owens was Seth's tag partner). BUTTTTTTTTTTTT! The tribal chief had other ideas. He proposed a pitch where if the "burn it down" man loses the tag match, the Rumble match is gone, FINITO! Bully Ray probably saw Seth Rollins' uttering Jox Moxley's name and reacted, "HOW DARE YOU!! BLASPHEMY!" Fortunately for SR The Drip Mane, he got what he wanted via a DQ finish thanks to a superman punch from Roman Reigns. While the ending did protect the tag champs, the consequences of i...

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...

WWE Smackdown 17/7/20 | A Coherent Review.

This recent instalment of Smackdown was decent. The women, for the most part, was the standout in this program and it honestly carried the show from a meh to a decent watch. The show started off with Jeff Hardy and Sheamus talking about the upcoming bar fight which you can scroll down to read my thoughts on it. Sasha Banks and Bayley Gives Us A New Perspective Of The Word "Greatness". The so-called "golden role models" were praising their greatness to which Nikki Cross was furious about the way she lost at Extreme Rules. So, Nikki wanted a rematch for the SmackDown women's championship and Bayley accepted that bout if Nikki faces her best friend, Alexa Bliss to determine the number one contender. That match started immediately after this segment and it was a good opener. Bayley and Sasha Banks were entertaining in the commentary as per usual. When Corey Graves brought the fact that Bayley didn't want t...
