THE Coherent AEW Take: Rampage Was AWFUL!?

 WOW! Another AEW recap despite how inconsistent this written series is? This must be an odd kinda week, right? 

AEW Dynamite and Rampage were aight as a whole although I did find Rampage to be quite yawn-inducing despite being an hour-long program. 

Rampage. 

Highlights. 

None, unfortunately. 

Some Other Things That Happened. 

Satnam Singh led his partner (Jay Lethal) to victory as they defeated Dave Vega and Matt Fitchett - Still don't get the hype AEW has for the big guy. 

*Unenthusiastic* Yay, Will Ospreay's AEW in-ring debut - Cool.

Eddie Kingston defeated Jake Hager - Eddie Kingston aka wrestling's uncle. A decent match is all I'll say. 

Red Velvet lost to Kris Statlander then chaos ensued - This ain't an AEW Show without a brawl or two, right? 

Dynamite. 

Highlights. 

Jurassic Express vs The Young Bucks For the AEW World Tag Team Championship In *Dario Cueto's Voice* A LADDER MATCH! 

Ladder match? The Young Bucks? A recipe for an enjoyable encounter. The Jackson bros won the championship for the 3rd time. The first tag team in AEW to do so. 

That led to an unprettier and a conchairto from Christian to Jungle Boy. I guess both Edge and Christian had to……...switch roles (get it? Switch? Kill switch?).

Dax Hardwood vs Will Ospreay. 

Dax honestly carried Ospreay (FIGHT ME!). The match ruled harder than the captain of the Normandy spaceship. 

Ospreay won the match with an elbow to Dax's head and guess what happened? 

A brawl happened but luckily, it didn't last long as Orange Cassidy appeared and confronted the former IWGP champion. 

Some Other Things That Happened. 

Chris Jericho defeated Ortiz in a hair vs hair match - RIP Ortiz's long locks. I had to lose my afro when I found out my hair was receding faster than the speed of light. 

Also, Sammy Guevara reuniting with Jericho was the most Vince Russo level of plot twist I've ever seen all week.

Wardlow goes to war with a bunch of security guards - aka a 100 million-view clip waiting to happen. Also, really?  Wardlow siding with a guy that lost a boxing match with a vine star (bro, if I was him, you "guys" will never see me again). 

Oh, look. Another brawl/beatdown segment. This time between Jon Moxley, Hiroshi Tanahashi and Jericho Appreciation Society  - AEW loves their brawl more than Vince McMahon's treatment of women. 

Ethan Page lost to Miro in the All-Atlantic championship tournament - BULGARIA STRONG!  

Toni Storm defeated Britt Baker - the doctor is indeed down. 

Jay White said to both Hangman Page and Adam Cole, "no championship opportunity for y'all" - so, they're basically Man United then.

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...
