Former WWE referee talks about Keith Lee and Adam Cole's WWE NXT match

Jimmy Korderas was clear about what he felt about the difference and the clash in styles that can be seen in modern wrestling between the 'old school' style and the 'new school' style. He pointed out that in the WWE NXT match between Keith Lee and Adam Cole, the two WWE Superstars showcased that the two styles can actually co-exist with each other.

"Went back and watched the Keith Lee - Adam Cole match from last week. I've got to tell you, those people who say you can't mix old school and new school, completely wrong. They did an incredibly — I don't want to say perfect, nothing's perfect — they did an incredible job of mixing what guys are trying to do in this new revolution or evolution, whatever you want to call it of the business, but while keeping old school. In their minds psychology, storytelling and actually selling in a match are not dirty words anymore. They did all three of those things, they told a great story, the match had great psychology. And guess what, they sold for each other. Even the big guy. Hats off to you guys for doing a 2020 job of old school."

Keith Lee and Adam Cole had an excellent match together and put on a show for the WWE Universe. Keith Lee also became the one to finally end Adam Cole's title reign, which had lasted an incredible total of 403 days.
