lovely stuff. takagi said he wants a rematch on a space station, as minoru won’t be able to piledrive him in zero gravity.

I love Swerve’s opener of “What up turd”. Really made me laugh

See Haley J’s had an NXT tryout then. There’s definitely something there - a real natural charisma - even if she is the CM Phil of the OVW women’s locker room by all accounts.

Smoking up before matches or well, ever really, is gonna get nipped in the bud (lol).
She definitely has the reactions/selling/engagement part of the job down though which is 90% of the battle.

Happy Eddie Kingston Day too all who celebrate. Hoping to be weeping into my frosties tomorrow morn.

I thought his selling was better than normal. Would absolutely hate working either lucha bros tbh, great matches but they clearly dont pull their dives or kicks at all.

Two of my favourite wrestlers ever but yeah they look like hell to wrestle.

Knox has more than enough experience to know when to work an audible. No excuse.

Not to defend Knox (or any other specific case), but it does seem fairly common that audibles get called and the message doesn’t seem to have reached or been processed fully by the referee. Makes me wonder if WWE had it right in just telling refs to call it as a shoot - means only the two in ring wrestlers need to agree on the audible. Not sure if it’s something they still do, but I know more than one referee’s been fined for that in the past.

Think the roster releases have started after the office ones last week.

Ali first.

A genuine “he’s still there?!” That, like forgotten premier league players who are still somehow riding out their contract

I agree to a point but you’d think when someone of the stature of Mox in AEW is telling you to count the 3 you should probably listen, especially when you’ve been around the block as much as Knox has.

Another thing they probably need to tighten up on I guess.
