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.

THE Coherent AEW Take: I Ain't Tellin' You No Lie, The Hook Brings You Back

PAGE AND BRYAN! HOOK! HOOK! HOOK! PAGE AND BRYAN! HOOK! HOOK! HOOK!  That's it. That's the intro.  Rampage.   Highlights.  HOOOOOOOOK!  I mean, I gotta support the man himself named Hook, DUHHH!  What can I say, I like a man that is built different, quick, agile and hard……..in professional wrestling, of course.  Suffice to say, Hook does something that Kalya Braxton doesn't and that is, making all biracials proud.  FTR vs Lucha Brothers for the AEW world tag team championship Two of the best tag teams I've ever witnessed as a wrestling fan (yes, they're THAT darn good) battling it out in an opening match so banging, not even your Beats headphone can replicate it, ya feel me?  The Lucha Brothers get to walk out of this episode of Rampage still as the reigning world tag champs.  Some Other Things That Happened.  Adam Cole defeated Wheeler Yuta - Adam Cole appreciation comment.  Dynamite.  Highlights.  Hangman Page...

Escape The Undertaker | A Short Coherent Review.

The internet. The only place where your YouTube recommended is filled with "I DON'T EVEN KNOW THAT'S PG".  It is also home to Netflix which released an interactive movie produced by future Raspberry award-winning movie studio, WWE films. Look, the idea of 3 black dudes being trapped inside a house by a white conservative dead hog, is offensive and by that description alone, you weren't sure for a sec whether you were watching Netflix or the Daily Wire.  Luckily, there wasn't a cameo from Tessa Blanchard so you should be fine.  As a fan of Mass Effect 2, I love some dialogue trees that alter the events of a movie/game.  And, from a functionality standpoint, it is a technical marvel how it gives the audience the illusion of choice (you know, like our current economic system).  I say "illusion" because therein lies the main problem I have with the film. Your choices don't matter here. Even in a WWE movie, they're still trying to avoid the fan...

WWE Smackdown Live 11/9/18 | My Coherent Review.

Smackdown live was overall a good show. Why you ask? Well, I'm gonna tell you what's good, what's ok and what's bad. Here we go.  WHAT'S GOOD Jeff Hardy vs Shinsuke Nakamura The promo before this was okay however that was a goooood match. Better than their in counter at SummerSlam. Jeff was about to beat Nakamura, however, randy outta nowhere pushes hardy on the outside hence Nakamura retains the championship and Jeff wins via DQ. They had a brawl that was better than the brawl last night on RAW I'll tell you that much.  Samoa Joe telling a bedtime story in a good not boring way.   I thought from the editing to the design of the book to the way Samoa Joe express the story was fantastic. The thing I LOVE about this is that it's a outside in the box type of promo package that worked. Man, I can't wait for this match. On Sunday night when the PPV airs, I think I'm gonna call my local "WENDYYYS" (My goodness that was awfu...
