THE Inconsistent Coherent AEW Take: All Red Barbed Wire Everything.

 The Coherent AEW recap. The only series where the word "consistency" is the equivalent of saying bloody Mary 3 times. And look guys, both AEW shows weren't all that bad aka a typical Tuesday. 

Rampage. 

Highlights. 

Private Party vs Lucha Bros. 

Oh, you know this match had a lot of SHOTS, SHOTS, SHOTS (in the taking some punches kinda way and not in the sense of drinking alcohol because I'm a halal boy). 

The match was a little too short for my liking but it was sweeter than a peach-flavoured iced tea. Lucha Bros took the W here which means more rankings. 

Some Other Things That Happened. 

House of Black defeated the Dark Order's John Silver and Alex Reynolds - Something tells me that AEW needs a trios championship (no f**king sh*t, Omar). 

Statlander and Athena defeated Renegade Twins - At least Athena's WWE main roster run included a several-month undefeated streak on RAW. This entire feud ain't it for her, the TBS championship and Jade Cargill. 

Also, you know your day sucks when Stokely Hathaway didn't cut a promo on that episode. 

Lee Moriarty lost to Jonathan Gresham - Lee Moriarty in a few years, AEW CHAMPION. 

Dynamite. 

Highlights. 

Darby Allin vs Brody King. 

A pretty good instance of a "David vs Goliath" encounter (yea, no sh*t, Omar). The ending did surprise me since I thought Allin would take the quick roll-up win but instead, Brody choked Allin (harder than Sasha Grey in her prime) and took the W as a result. 

That staredown between Sting and Malaki Black? *Insert wide eye emoji*. 

Some Other Things That Happened. 

Chris Jericho defeated Eddie Kingston in a barbed wire match - All I can say is that it's a lot of blood and guts and slower than that Sloth from Zootopia. 

Luchasaurus said, "That Jungle Boy kid? Kinda based" - That short pairing with Luchasaurus and Christian Cage is better than everything to do with The Judgement Day stable. 

Ricky "my theme song sounds like a level from a Sonic game" Starks defeated Cole Karter - Eh. 

Jon Moxley and Wheeler Yuta took the W against Best Friends - if I was Yuta, I would be staring at the world championship real hard. 

Kris Statlander, Willow Nightingale and Athena lost to Jade Cargill, Kiera Hogan and Leila Grey - Just scroll up a bit in case all 2 of y'all weren't clear about my thoughts on the feud and Athena in AEW.

WWE Smackdown Live 10/7/18 | My Coherent Review.

Smackdown live was a bad show that did nothing as a wrestling fan to gain any excitement for extreme rules. Why you ask? Well i'm gonna give you what's good. No scratch that, i'm gonna give you what's ok and what's bad. Here we go. WHAT'S OK The opening segment and the brawl after that The opening segment was meh. And the brawl after that was fine. Didn't make me go "OHHHHHHHHHHH" or anything like along those lines. That brawl leads to a TEN MAN TAG TEAM match (Ummmmmm no shit omar). I will say this, the segment kinda teased the fact that maybe kane will turn on his best friend? I don't know. Should be interesting.  Andrade "cien" almas vs Sin cara The match was surprisingly decent. At one point andrade delivered a devastating stomp to sin cara on the ring apron. Andrade wins with a running knee to sin cara on the middle rope. Hoping andrade can move on to bigger and better things.  WHAT'S BAD ...

Should Dave Meltzer Get Rid Of His Rating System?

So a few weeks ago, good old Dave Meltzer of the wrestling observer newsletter gave the Kazuchika Okada vs Kenny omega match at dominion 2018 a 7-star rating. According to the interent wrestling database , this match is by far his HIGHEST match rating ever (i don't blame him because the match was amazing). So statistically, this is his favourite match of all time . Now, why I'm writing this now?  Well, his best match ratings have been a consistent 5 stars since 1983 with the exception of all the Omega vs Okada matches and the Mitsuharu Misawa vs Toshiaki Kawada match at AJPW's Budokan hall show in June of 1994.  There are fans that take his match ratings as an offence somehow like "Why he rates X match better than Y match?" or thinks that he "hates" WWE which is ridiculous considering that he gave three WWE matches a 5 star ratings just this past year. One was the ladder match to crown the first ever NXT North American champion, the Johnny Garga...

The Obsession With Ratings. Warranted Or Not?

(Just a bit of a heads-up, this article contains a lot of the word "ratings").  Rating. Rating. Rating. It is a word that you see or hear many times throughout your wrestling fandom but why is that?  Well, it's interesting to see how your weekly consumption does by the numbers every week.  However, that conversation can turn the other way.  The toxic, " logic-filled" , gatekeeping way that is (you see why I muted the word "rating" on Twitter?).  Fans have been talking about TV ratings for years but that discussion has skyrocketed once AEW Dynamite and NXT airs on the same night every week ya know because wrestling fans am I right?  Before I answer the question of whether the obsession with TV ratings is warranted or not, I'll first have to briefly describe the Nielsen rating (which is an American TV rating system. No sh*t, Omar).  A Summary Of The History Of The Nielsen Ratings.  The Nielsen rating system was introduced...
