Darby is the Wile E Coyote of wrestling.

"This is one of the things of modern wrestling where nobody takes any of the angles seriously. It's just a repercussion of what wrestling is today. If you want it to be what it was... it can't be."

ValeeLove:
Stop the 🧢. Melo is in fact floundering in the midcard. I believe they will do well still.

pu7pl3:
I love how invested Cory Graves is with the whole El Grande Americano stuff...match of the night for me by far.

Why the hell is Jey declaring for elimination chamber?? Nobody wants you as a singles guy anymore bro. Stay in your lane.

Im tired of this whole masked man thing with the Vision, it's getting too bland and repetitive.

And lastly, Balor. I'm sorry bro but you really are an after thought cos nobody believes you're taking the title off CM Punk even 1 bit.

CoolUsername:
US Champ.
Consistently featured in bangers every Friday with at lest one backstage segment.

That's not floundering.

ValeeLove:
Not surprised at all. Rather than wrestling consistently and having good matches to increase credibility he chose to spend precious time playing video games with JD, now he's an afterthought. I don't know if Finn has given up but this version of him sucks.

ValeeLove:
on paper. Meanwhile it hasn't translated to increased status.

CoolUsername:
Did you see Jey botch that superkick? Lmao.
Just know that Jey is going to continue to be heavily featured as long as he continues to get huge crowd reactions and continues to move merch.

The masked thing is kinda lame. The only thing I like about it is how they seem to be subtly eliminating suspects each week.

Adam Pearce will soon need spinal fusion surgery from carrying The Vision storyline every week.

He has a championship.
Midcard talent puts him over all the time.
They even improved his entrance and gave him cool lighting.

samistry:
You mean wrestling banger matches isn't enough for you?
Would you be saying same if he was in AEW?

samistry:
Isn't it same Finn that had a banger against Punk in Ireland last month?
Does Finn have much say in how his booking goes?
Brodie King isn't winning the title match against MJF at GrandSlam. Where is this sentiment for him?

You know how many times Mark Briscoe and Kyle Fletcher lost title matches?

I'd rather have Wrestlers play video games than die early due to alcohol and substance abuse.

samistry:
Wrestlers no dey see match wrestle in wrestling focused company

ValeeLove:
see what I mean; notable crowd reactions, big social media numbers and ratings and high merch sales. Prove to me that Melo has all these and I'll change my stance.

ValeeLove:
I would. Banger means different things to people. As for me, giving a proper athletic match while simultaneously telling a story is my definition of it. Melo jumps (just don't know if he's special athletically) and I can't tell you a Melo match has made me feel something.

ValeeLove:
she's in ROH I know. Also is she still that good? Don't think so.

Same FInn was having good matches with Gunther and Priest over the world title.
Same Finn was having good matches in tag division.
That guy delivers any chance he gets but
there's so much you can do when the office favours guys like Punk, Cody, Jey, Seth, Roman and Gunther.

CoolUsername:
Are we talking about the same Finn Balor? Apart from his last match with Punk, the only other banger he has pulled off recently was his match against AJ Styles. I actually think Finn Balor phones most of his matches in. He a 5 Moves of Doom merchant: chest stomp, reverse DDT, dropkick, 1916 DDT (if he's feeling extra spicy), and Coup de grace

samistry:
Nobody is proving sh#t to you.
Did you prove them to us when you were jizzing with fervent vigours along with Meltzer to 69kickouts matches, you swore were doing big numbers, crowds and ratings like the fake miracles in your Umudike Community Chapel?

samistry:
She's basically your ROH pure women's champion but you don't even know that fact.
Let me guess, your fed Bad loving Facebook groups didn't bring it up because you're afraid to critic Tony Khan.

ValeeLove:
Samistry follow the argument. The original post compares that class of OVW to this class of NXT. You can't talk about that class of OVW without numbers. It doesn't matter if you think Shelton Benjamin is a better athlete than John Cena, the numbers is a prerequisite in this discussion.
Why the hostility though?

ValeeLove:
have you seen her tummy? Lol. I can't remember any of her last matches being that great. She is a legend, but she's already peaked. Might watch her "pure wrestling" again, but I won't go out of my way.
