WWE NXT 29/5/19 | My Coherent Review.

Image result for wwe nxt mia yim
This episode was aight but it's usually like that when a Takeover is less than a few days away. 

Mia Yim vs Bianca Belair.

A rematch from 3 weeks ago which was a decent match. Was that better? Not really. At one point during the match, Mia Yim delivered a code Yim which is a snap sunset flip. The match ends with Mia hit a protect ya neck to Belair and she got a huge victory over the EST of NXT. 

I don't know where Bianca Belair goes from here but I hope NXT build Belair with some momentum. 

After a pretty good video package about the match between Tyler Breeze and Velveteen Dream (get it? pretty? Prince Pretty?), Shayna and the gang were interviewed and Baszler basically said that unlike Io Shirai, she's got friends. 

Kushida vs Drew Gulak.

A very technical wrestling match. So many types of submissions being applied by both men but the match ended with a pinfall victory from Kushida with a roll-up with his legs. 

I'm a big mark when it comes to technical matches and this was no exception. A very good match in my opinion. 

Io Shirai was interviewed by Cathy Kelly about the numbers advantage of Shayna’s NXT championship match and Candice LeRae came out to tell Io that she has Io's back at NXT Takeover: XXV. 

Oney Lorcan and Danny Burch vs The Forgotten Sons.

After the ref banned Jaxson Ryker from ringside, The Street Profits interfered ending the match in a DQ. Then, all the teams that are part of the ladder match brawled with each other but The Undisputed Era came back strong with ladder shots to Jaxson Ryker and Adam Cole ended this episode of NXT by saying that Takeover 25 will be Undisputed. 

Predictable ending but it's to be expected when you're building up those kinds of matches. 

So, to recap for all of you slow mofos: 

Like: Kushida vs Drew Gulak. 

Didn't Like: Nothing. 

Just like what I did when I reviewed the NXT before Takeover: New York, I'm gonna put my quick predictions and here we go: 

Matt Riddle vs Roderick Strong.

My Prediction: Matt takes the ice cream cake on this one. 

Velveteen Dream vs Tyler Breeze for the NXT North American Championship.

My prediction: Tyler is used here as a filler but it should be a great match. The Velveteen Dream retains. 

Shayna Baszler vs Io Shirai for the NXT Women's championship. 

My prediction: This is a tough one but I'll go with the genius of the sky. 

Oney Lorcan and Danny Burch vs The Undisputed Era vs The Street Profits vs The Forgotten Sons for the NXT Tag Team Championship in a ladder match. 

My prediction: A match that could steal the show by just barely 99.9999999999%. I'll go with The Undisputed Era bay bay. 

Johnny Gargano vs Adam Cole for the NXT Championship. 

My prediction: Johnny is still Johnny Champion after Takeover: XXV.

WWE Eyeing On New Creative Writers.

Last week on RAW, The McMahon family announced that there will be new faces and fresh match ups. What better way to invoke change than to seek out new writers with different ideas right?  WWE are actively seeking for new writer's assistant positions with at least two years in writing television and or/ production experience and preferably but not necessary, a degree in Film/TV/Drama, Media Studies, Journalism, Communications, English, or related field of study.  For everyone who thinks they can do it better, here's your opportunity. Merry Christmas! https://t.co/FJch1rOXCM — Jimmy Korderas (@jimmykorderas) December 24, 2018 What do I think of this? As long as Vince is in charge, unfortunately, nothing is going to change for the better of the product but that's just me.  Let me know in the comments on how you would change the WWE product and follow the blog for honest pro wrestling opinions. Anyways, stay safe smarks. 

WWE RAW 13/9/21 | A Coherent Review.

Ya boy took a week off of talking about wrestling which is something I usually need after watching a single episode of Monday Night RAW but consistency is key, people!  In recent weeks, however, Monday Night RAW doesn't feel like mental torture and the latest episode is no exception.  Images via WWE.com Big E Was Like, "I'm Definitely Cashing In My Contract".  The lovable wholesome gyrating big man name Big E interacted with Randy Orton as well as Bobby Lashley ahead of the WWE title match between Bob and Randal.  The reason is obvious. Big E wants to cash in seeing Becky Lynch's mother again (that's not it?).  All lame jokes aside, the big man did cash in the contract to become the NEW WWE champion later in the episode after a successful title defence from Bobby Lashley against Randy Orton.  Words cannot describe how f**king happy I am seeing one of my favourite performers finally capture the gold which was long overdue if you ask me.  I will go as far as to

Top 3 BEST Distraction Finishes EVER!

Distraction endings to a wrestling match in WWE depend on one another if you think about it. It's like the peanut butter and jelly or the chicken and the basmati biryani rice or Dan Lambert and sexism.  "Why top 3", you may ask? Because one, I'm different and two, well, I'm different, so be gone to the mofos that think it's shorter than Brock Lesnar's bout with Kofi Kingston.  (WARNING: This piece is mostly sarcasm).  Daniel Bryan vs Sheamus. Wrestlemania 28.  I know this made your eyebrows raise as high as Rocky Maivia but think about this. The kiss from AJ Lee that led to a brogue kick from Sheamus, has in some way, led to the general audience seeing how Daniel Bryan should be WAY higher in the overall arc than where he was at that time.  Also, this was also the year where Bryan showed off his comedic chops with his "NO" catchphrase and his tag team run with the big red conservative, Kane.  If anything, this distraction finish was a great chara
