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 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 ...
