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...

2020 was to quote the 5 News Week Look Back article , "eventful, awful, wild and surprisingly quick."  That doesn't mean there weren't some good wrestling to watch on television so here it is.  My and I repeat MY top 5 best TV matches of 2020. some images via WWE.com #7 Cody Rhodes vs Darby Allin. AEW TNT Championship Semi-Finals Bout.  This list includes two matches that starred two people with fantastic chemistry. One of them is this gem of an encounter between Cody Rhodes and Darby Allin. All elite wrestling has introduced a brand new championship for the mid-card and was contested via a good old fashioned tournament.  The matches were fine but one of them stood out amongst the rest.  That, of course, being the Cody Rhodes vs Darby Allin bout at the tournament's semi-finals.  Allin actually pulled off a crossrhodes that looked so good that I don't mind him adding it to his arsenal.   The finish was executed a bit poorly which is why it is lower...

Whether RAW, Smackdown Live, 205 Live or NXT were enjoyable or not in 2018, those shows did gave us some of the best matches on free TV and I’m gonna rank 7 of the best WWE TV matches. Keep in mind that this countdown is based on opinions only.  7. Rey Mysterio vs Andrade “Cien” Almas | Smackdown Live Nov. 6th Episode.  Even though Rey Mysterio right now has been doing alright since returning and staying on the Smackdown Live roster permanently two months ago, there’s no denying that he still can deliver a classic and this one was no exception.  Andrade however, hasn’t been in a major feud for several months now but that doesn’t mean that when he is on a match, he can’t give us a classic either.  Great spots and near falls, this match could do no wrong except the finish and that’s why this match was lower on the list. Let’s hope that 2019 is Andrade’s year to shine.  6. The New Day vs The Bar and The Miz | S mackdown Live May 29th Episode. ...
