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 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 ...
