WWE NXT 28/8/19 | My Coherent Review.

A very enjoyable edition of NXT and I know NXT is under an hour and it's a lot shorter than the main roster shows but this show felt shorter like 10 minutes short.

Io Shirai vs Cami Fields.

This episode started off with a theme song by Io Shirai that is actually growing on me week by week. Cami Fields has a very good look but she needs some character work and I hope WWE works on that at some point. Io Shirai won the match with a submission move that utilizes her thighs but I don't know the name of that submission manoeuver.

After the match, Io waited to destroy Cami with a kendo stick she brought up to which Candice LeRae rushed to the ring and Io ran like when your father came home after he found out that you skipped school. Can this feud please be for the NXT women's title at some point please the NXT creative gods, please?

Keith Lee vs Dominic Djakovic.

Did this match live up to the hype? To quote Stone Cold Steve Austin "Oh Hell Yeah". Also, didn't know notice that Djakovic has new theme music but now I do. Dominic kicked Keith's head off with that big boot.

Both men then tried to hit a suplex but Lee twisted the arm and hits an elbow strike. Lee did a crossbody and then minutes later, a pop-up chokeslam of some sort on the ring apron which was devastating to look at. Dominic countered that with a corkscrew moonsault on the outside and another moonsault this time inside the ring to a near fall.

Keith shocked the crowd and me with that Spanish fly from the top rope. The match ended with Dominic carrying Keith in the torture reck into a knee strike to win this epic match. Probably one of the best big men matches I've seen in a very long time and yes, it is a hight praise they certainly deserve. Congrats on both of those guys for that performance. So good.

Then, they played a highlight package of Johnny Gargano's run in NXT and Shane Throne approached the commentary team saying that why shouldn't the commentators focused on his winning streak which led to a commercial break. The way they went to commercial made me laugh unintentionally.

Shayna Baszler Encountered A Huge Surprise.

Mia Yim frustrated on not getting the opportunity on facing Shayna Baszler but you know who is facing the submission magician? NXT UK's own Rhea Ripley and she got a huge pop from the audience. Rhea grabbed the microphone from Baszler and she acknowledges that Baszler has dominated this division but she hasn't beaten her "bitch".

I know I simplified the promo but God almighty, that was a great promo and segment overall. Rhea being the opponent adds a lot of intrigue in this feud and I think it makes a lot of sense that Ripley is the new challenger given that Shayna pretty much beat everybody. Really curious as to how Mia Yim fits into all of this.

The Street Profits vs The Undisputed Era in Kyle O'Reilly and Bobby Fish for the NXT Tag Team Championship.

The crowd at one point, chanted "we want the smoke" (crap, I love the full sail crowd). The match started at a slow pace like most wrestling matches which by the way, is not always a bad thing.

Dawkins gave a huge comeback with a double clothesline to Fish and O'Reilly including a vicious spear to Fish. The final match of this episode ends with O'Reilly hits the high low with the help of Bobby Fish and The Undisputed Era became the first-ever 3-time NXT tag team champions.

If you watched RAW this week (which you can click here to read the whole thing), then you wouldn't be surprised at that finish given that The Street Profits had their segment on RAW without those belts. Nevertheless, this was a good tag team match.

So, to recap for all of you slow mofos.

Like: Rhea Ripley showing up, Dominic Djakovic vs Keith Lee, The Undisputed Era vs The Street Profits for the NXT Tag Team Championship.

Didn't like: Nothing.

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
