the boss called it halts. No momentum. I didn't know about this, had to Google. Must have happened when I stopped watching wrestling.

Valee, have you heard what Dementia Dave is saying?

"One of the reasons the AEW stuff didn't get over at all is there's no AEW TV in Saudi Arabia."

he might be on to something though. The crowd was chanting "AEdub" during the post show, of course it was to show dissatisfaction but they're aware. Or maybe the fans don't really care about AEW.

I haven't said this, but the Devil's Kiss isn't a good move. It requires too much cooperation; on top of that it has been gimmicked. It will take a while but it will get boring and this is probably a sign.

On a more positive note, isn't she looking good? She took my advice. Lol.

WWE did well referencing AEW the much they did at the RR. Cole talked his history and it played out in the match. That's improvement.👏🏿

The crowd was quiet my ass. Triggered Wrestling and them biased takes.
It's ironic hearing an AEW fan saying moves demand too much cooperation.

Alex Shelley created that move, was doing it on ROH and TNA over 20years ago. Madison Rayne and Charlotte did it for years too.
It got popular with Stephanie because of Booker T outrageous reactions.
She was doing it on CMLL and NJPW as a regular move without the hype.

I'll let this slide until experts speak. I feel she executes it too easily. She doesn't even struggle to have them in that position. They don't try to break free with their available hands when her legs are locked around them. They don't try not to move into that position. They don't try to block the impact. I get it that legends like Shelley do it, but it won't be the first time moves that don't actually hurt get popularized.

What you've said is true but I've seen many matches where her opponents struggle to get out of that position. Some roll out of the ring while others counter with an electric chair drop.
Many moves don't involve struggle to execute in modern wrestling thus it becomes a choreographed dance routine.
See Bandido 21plex finisher. Swerve's stomp, The Spanish fly, Kofi's trustfall, Canadian destroyer etc.
When Jim Cornette criticises this, wrestling fans especially AEW call him an old dinosaur.

like I said, I'll let it slide. Hopefully I don't have to revisit this. Jim may not be a dinosaur, but he is a hypocrite.

I think Gunther is getting heat, but he needs more size.

Roman said HHH had to seek his consent before bringing Punk back. Does that make any sense?

They were not quiet cos the move isn't good, they were quiet cos she has cooled down, thanks to her poor booking. If her booking wasn't as poor as it has been she'd be getting louder pops for that move.

She didn't take your unsolicited advice either, she doesn't even know you bro.

Lol, like say me I no dey complain too? I don't see your complaints as any personal Vendetta bro. I only called out your Royal Rumble criticism as false. When they do well they deserve their praise too.
We are all fans, they might not be earning anything from us directly but we spend our valuable time watching them so you're free to criticize but when they do well I also expect you to applaud them rather than nitpick unnecessarily.

Roman vs Punk have all the tools it needs to be a home run and if these two can deliver doubles or triples consistently like they did last night until April, WWE might actually earn the right to charge all that money for WrestleMania tickets.

Ah, GUNTHER. The man sure knows how to heel it up. He comes out to AJ Styles’ music, mocks AJ, and then dares the crowd to do anything about it. Out comes Dragon Lee to avenge his former tag partner only to be put on a collision course with a windshield. I don’t think Dragon Lee is the guy to feed to GUNTHER right now. Am I supposed to think he has a shot at beating The Ring General? Hell nah.
