I had to laugh at the Saudi's chanting for "Wrestlemania" and Triple H being "Yeah, Wrestlemania is going to be in Las Vegas"

Dude wants the Saudi deal to end so fucking badly. Don't blame him tbh.
 
You guys ready for Chief Bussin and Runs with GYATT to come to NXT?

Like I feel bad for Kylie Rae if the Jericho rumors are true, but she was never really a main event talent, and she has become increasingly unstable ever since whatever happened to her in AEW happened?
Late reply but fuck it.

Even before the AEW stuff, she had a history of ghosting or outright avoiding certain indies booking requests for months for one reason or another. TNA attempted to strap the rocket onto her and she pulled the same shit, disappearing weeks before a planned title match. NWA on multiple occasions gave her a go (pre and post AEW) and yup, same pattern formed. No matter what you think happened with Jericho, the reality is she already was an unstable and difficult talent to handle. If ROH, Shimmer etc. still functioned today, she'd be pussyfooting with them too.
 
I know Kylie Rae had some substance abuse issues until three years ago when she declared herself sober. How much of that is actually true is anyone's guess if she actually stayed on the wagon.
Either way, Jericho trying to violate her is all but confirmed and certainly didn't help
 
Crown JEWel (lol)
this theme song sounds like Raw's old "MOVE IT TO THE MUSIC PLAY THAT FUKIN MUSIC" theme
YES MORE NIA JAX YES
Bobandy's there too! cool!

Woah that's a TIGER cool!
I hope they dont get held hostage this year!
I think this show is in Saudi Arabia. Pretty cool considering 9/11 was like 5 years ago.

aaaaand there's a Samoan. I wonder if they can pass as locals lolol
What is this match?
That Saudi table is GOIN DOWN

BLOODLINE VS the other BLOODLINE
Roman's new theme is nowhere near as cool
kids in the front row reaching out to be REDEEMED. Wholesome.
really disrespectful of Jey to have his own entrance. Is this the new Sandman rule where the entrance is better than the wrestler proper? Wouldnt walk through that crowd personally either. Maybe they think Jey is Saudi?
crowd needs to calm down lol
They chant for Roman but dont get Roman. Hope this doesnt mean another 20 year WAR.

I was mostly AFK and Solo's spikes look like doodie. Fatu is still great.
crowd is shockingly quiet
Sami Zayn saved the day. It wasn't the worst match ever.

City is called Ria but they spell it like Riyadh. Maybe they should learn American over there.

I'm hyped for Gunt vs Cunt! But I must endure
DAMAGE CTRL (Team smash) VS Team Pass. VS.. Piper and Green. Also Jade Cardhill is there. Also bianca.. ANYONE ELSE?? NO?? COOL MOVING ON.

Dark horses has racist connotations, not-Cole!
I'm salty that I lost my team smash vs team pass quip because they really needed another two teams in this.

I appreciate the Joe Hendry sign in the crowd too
Bianca's bedazzled attire is a disaster and it's visibly shedding the plastic gems all over the ring
Actions been all right so far.
Finally some SWEET BABES get tagged in. The Asian gets the loudest pop from the crowd. I have trouble understanding them and the venue doesn't look huge. Must e been a super expensive show to get into.

That cross body from Piper was rad. Looked like she landed on Iyo's face. I'd like to land on Iyo's fac-

Double cross body was cool too
This is awesome chat going on and tbh the match has been better than I was expecting. 3 jumps out of the ring in a row was cool too.

Jesus did Piper kill that girl with that driver?? Looked like she landed right on her head 😲
Oh and they're saying Codebreaker again. That's nice.
Who are these broads? Match was way better than I expected it to be. Some of those moves looked like they really hurt lol (you know, the point to pro wrestling!)

The horse ladies won.
I was crying about not being able to practically get tickets to NXT 2300.

ROLLINS VS REEDS
I respect the MF Doom tribute from REED. I want REED to win now. 20 Tsunamis for Seth.

Cool match so far but "Reed is playing with his food". Is that a fat joke?

I think Reed got up for Seth to get his shoulder up. Reed could just sit on Rollins and he wouldn't be able to kick out. It would be like King Kong Bundy fighting HBK.

Trading blows then Reed gets countered into a sweet looking DDT. Crowd needs to chill. If I was Seth I'd tell them STOP IT.
Bronson bomb. Death valley driver. Seth kicked out so I'm guessing Rollins wins this match.
Superplez was really cool, could've been a great match finish buuuut it wasn't a finisher so.. no..

Rollins getting killed. This has been a pretty fun match.

Stomp on steps stomp on ring. A third? Top rope ok.
Rollins won. Boooooooo. (Mostly because I respected the MF Doom tribute). I liked this match.
Ooo Reed got crown juice. Sorry.

LIV MORGAN VS NIA JAX? I'd rather game. Why is Rhea gone now? Hmm.

So we got cutie vs Rock's cousin Girl Mabel. I didn't watch it.

KEVIN OWENS VS ORTON
and as I type that Owens jumps Orton after his theme looped like 3 times.
The crowd appears to favor Orton over Owen.
Chair shots before the bell and Cole is trying to persuade me Owens will "pay for that". Like how? No bell ring. Shoutouts to Jamie Noble.

Orton looks massive compared to Owens. I like the fact the entire staff is getting decimated here without a bell ring lmao.
Woahwoahwoah did Cole say WWE fanbase and not universe?? Neat!
Guess Randy's dead. F.

CARAMEL VS LA KNIGHT VS ANDRADE DEL RIO

Both brown men have better OP music music than LA KNIGHT. Also the red and yellow is more for slim Jim's than Hogan. Also LA needs an intro revamp. The song is dull. I respect that he was pretty quick to get to the stage though. Which to prefer? Good entrance music but the entrance is 10 minutes or shitty entrance and they take 2-3 minutes to get in the ring?

Chop exchange looked good, knights in and gets one of the shittiest double superkicks ever done. Do these men slap their thighs too?

It appears that LA KNIGHT is stronger than the other two and that isn't a super common dynamic in modern triple threats afaik. The spot with Andrade flipping outside to Knight was sick. Followed by a lot of things after caramel does a dive. Andrade and Knight ran into each other and it was sloppy. Then a destroyer.

"Beautiful reversal but idk what was even reversed. Knight did a double elbow.

Tf? Knight can never make that rope jump can he. That's fine, but if he's going to keep doing that he needs to find a way to correct it faster.

Ok caramel does the slam dunk. Kick out.

BFT out of nowhere. Lot of action, some of which was sloppy. This match was ok.

GUNTHER VS CODY RHODES

Lol camel graphics.
Also Cody's story is winning a world title outside on foreign soil now? Lol.
*BELL RING*

Not much to say. They're wrestling, crowd loves it, I like it. This is good. Im watchin.

Dusty's bionic elbow was better but gusto like that can't be replicated

Gunther got knocked out of the ring. Seems pretty one-sided so far but SLEEPE-suici-but caught! CHOP! Nobody in the crowd WOO'd. : (

"This is gonna look like Ivan Drago vs Apollo Creed by the end of the night"?? So one of m's gonna die?? Lmao bit extreme but ok.

Yup fun match. Crowd is ok. I miss ECW One Night Stand's crowd. They threw Cena's shirt back three times.

Why is an FU stronger than a Superplex?
Power slam not scoop slam Cole.

that was the worst Cody Cutter I've seen. The replay at the different angle helped, but it was visible his head was nowhere near the matt. Thmbs down for that one. Maybe that's why they dont win matches despite basically being springboard RKOs.

Awesome counter to a Boston crab then changeup to sleeper. Cody got the rope but then got German then sleeper'd again. Great exchange.

Crossroads was nice. Kinda dawned on me that it's one of those finishers that will never be out of nowhere because of the setup.

Second Crossroads and kick out. Seems like Cody needs to change his finisher. The DDT is more protected at this point lol.

That was a great match! Cool ending too!

Also OMG ends in a handshake too awesome!
Oh Mohammad Hassan cloned himself!

I bet Triple H is whispering "you little fucker be grateful my heart would explode or all three of these would be my belt right fuckin now I'd take Rock's belt too and then make another for me-" then he raises his arm and everyone claps.

But yeah this was a fun show!
 
Hopefully they are more successful. Tatanka should have been a bigger success in 95-96.
Turning him heel was stupid considering how over he was and his gimmick was a gimme to keep as a face. Especially coming back from an injury from Yokozuna, he even had sympathy from the fans.
 
I recall it being a lot better than anybody expected a Tatanka run in the mid00s, even if it was very mid(card)
That heel turn was confusing. He says he wants to avenge his ancestors, and he directs it towards Lashley? His promo was also boring and went on forever the only thing I remember was him saying "thanks for nothing".
Remember when he came back for a run in like 2005 or 2006?
They gave him a wierd generic CAW ass theme too
 
I remember years ago, Tatanka said in a shoot interview the company intended to have him feud with Ahmed Johnson but he saw how the guy worked with Jeff Jarrett, and he backed out from it. It seems like the were giving Ahmed Luger's previous opponents he had major feuds. Yokozuna, Crush, Owen, Bulldog and Tatanka.
They gave him a wierd generic CAW ass theme too

Just like Bulldog in his 99-2000 run.
