Let's Talk About The White Rabbit In The Room.

I haven't reviewed last year's show mainly because it was so good and clearly as extreme as any ECW match and I'm happy to tell all 3 of y'all that this one is better by several inches or so. Why? *slaps my bald head* HERE'S WHY.


The opening match between Sheamus and Gunther's crew ruled harder than the Mongolian empire. 

It was basically an enhanced version of Sheamus' match with Gunther last night on Smackdown and I loved it. 

The Brawling Brutes' victory means one thing that is clearly obvious, a rematch between Sheamus and Gunther for the intercontinental championship aka the only series of rematches I don't mind. 

Ronda Rousey and Liv Morgan delivered in what was a wrestling match equivalent to the X-Men Dark Phoenix movie. 

While Bianca Belair and Bayley had their equivalent to the first Iron Man movie in that it was decent. 

Drew McIntyre and Karrion Kross had an okay edition of the "Meaty men slapping meat". 

That spear from Edge to Judgement Day that landed outside the ring was unlike I had ever seen before from him. Now that's worthy of flash photography or in today's age, a TikTok video. 

By far, the highlight of all of this is Michael Cole once again, channelling his inner 2003 self and I appreciate it so much. 

Imagine him doing that type of commentary for Dark Knight Rises after "Miranda" stabbed Batman in the back ("what is wrong with you!?")? That would've made that meh of a movie a lot more interesting. 

Seth Rollins vs Matt Riddle in a fight pit? Roger Ebert level thumbs up for me. 

Let's talk about the elephant in the room or should I say, the white rabbit in the room. 

Bray Wyatt has returned and he got the Road Warrior pop, Stone Cold pop, The Rock pop, that racist POS Hulk Hogan pop, Jeff Jarrett pop, and your mom pop. 

What I'm trying to say is that he got the exact opposite of X-Pac heat because everyone (including me) wants to see him and he's finally here. 

So, to recap for all of you slow mofos. 

Like: Bray Wyatt got the Jeff Jarrett Pop, Brawling Brutes vs Imperium, Michael Cole is fantastic, Seth Rollins vs Matt Riddle. 

Didn't like: Ronda Rousey vs Liv Morgan.

My Coherent Wrestling Wednesdays: Three Big Returns, A Great Inaugural Women's Championship Match.

If you have been a fan of this site since January, then you'll know that I've completely rebooted my review process and now, I'm doing that again.  Don't worry, the format for my RAW, Smackdown and PPV reviews will still be the same but not on Wednesdays. So, here it is, My Coherent Wrestling Wednesdays.  NXT The Highlights. Adam Cole vs Matt Riddle For The NXT Championship.  A match that opened this episode of the yellow brand, the original bro and the leader of The Undisputed Era tore the house down.  Whether it's Cole reversing the fireman's carry from Riddle into a backstabber, Cole hitting a Panama sunrise twice, a floating bro or the crowd chanting "Adam Cole, bro", it was a visual statement by NXT that the yellow brand is THE brand to watch.  Unfortunately,  Riddle felt short and ate the last shot but there was another highlight I wanna talk about….. Finn Balor Returns To N. X. T.  It's not a typo my friends, Finn ...

How Naomi's Royal Rumble 2020 Return SHOOK Black Twitter.

If you haven't been watching WWE for 10+ years, well first off, why are you here and secondly, can I be like you because I'm jealous?  Let me recap who Naomi is. She is a wrestler, actor, dancer, singer and a former women's champion who's been with WWE for 10 years.  In other words, Naomi is a future EGOT winner and you cannot tell me otherwise.  Thanks to her persona that resonated with the audience whether as a heel or a babyface, she has built up a following that is "ride or die" for the former funkadactyl aka stans which I am a part of.  Why? Because if there's one thing I have in common with Stan Twitter is that we love to call white people "ageing at the speed of crack".  She may be throwing glow sticks like an early 2010s Ellie Goulding music video, but she's a capable talent that can hang with the best of the best.  But, you read the title. This ain't about a career retrospect about Naomi (although I don't mind doing so), but ...
