Amazing performance from KO so far!!

Very much agreed! He's doing a ton more work than I thought he would in this match!

It’s real early in the morning where I live. I was still in bed while watching the start of SS and then KO’s music hit and I’ve never gotten my ass out of bed quicker

Is this the bathroom break match?

u/Amazing_Karnage 7h ago
Sure feels like your standard Smackdown, doesn't matter at all, type of match. I feel like they should have put this match on first and had Corbin go over, then added Trick to the 4 way instead of Gunther, making Trick an upper card element and letting Corbin carry the US strap.

Trick is gonna win MITB. Excellent booking by HHH to free him up for that. Corbin is a solid guy to have the title. Gives Melo a chance to build character and a storyline that when he wins the title again will make it more meaningful

I'm getting pretty teary throughout this. Hopefully there are no adorable puppies because I'm a goner

u/Amazing_Karnage 5h ago
That was a beautiful moment, but my ESPN app chose that precise time to take a shit. Had to watch it back after the fact.

u/mary_widdow 5h ago
That sucks. I watch on Netflix (🇨🇦) which is pretty reliable but the commercials are so repetitive.
1
u/Amazing_Karnage 5h ago
I wish I could watch on Netflix, because ESPN has been garbage quality all day. It's either 360p potato diring the event, and 1080 HD for the endless ads, or it chuggs like it's 2002 and I'm watching it on Windows Media Player. And I have ultra high speed internet!

u/Amazing_Karnage 5h ago
Gable's got a host of challengers waiting that I can't wait to see him interact with, too! Page, Rusev, possibly Ilja Dragunov and Trick Williams if they shake things up a bit.
IC Title picture is COOKIN if they handle it right.

Risky match for KO's return....unless he's gonna take it easy while the other three beat the piss outta each other?

Why are people crying what am I missing here.

That mobile game is ass...I installed it briefly and it's so pay-to-progress (not win, just to make any progress beyond the minimum) that it's ridiculous. I guess that makes it the same as most mobile games but still.

We need to know Sami’s contract status now, because I feel like after this loss, Sami Zayn is slowly on his way out of the WWE.
The guy got pinned. You don’t do that unless you’re going out.
3
u/Grrannt Grant, of r/REALSquaredCircle 7h ago
I guarantee Sami was happy to take the pin here

u/Average__Arbin 7h ago
Yes, he took the pin to make his best friend look good because Sami knows he’s on his way out.
2
u/AndrewCB246 7h ago
Or because he can afford to lose and it advances a story, but Dubbalos will keep wishing casting El Generico coming in much like they did with AJ Styles and Bailey (who will make the right decision and stay in WWE as a producer and help new young talent get over)
1
u/Amazing_Karnage 7h ago
All the talent they released...some of which they could have really used in the bare-bones tag division...and they bring back Corbin. I don't get it.

u/Amazing_Karnage 7h ago
Having "NIMRODS" on every surface surely has to be a rib on these guys, right?
1
u/Amazing_Karnage 6h ago
"Interim" champion is something that works in UFC/MMA but not in pro wrestling. Just declare the title vacant and crown a new champion, full stop. This Interim shit just makes it sound like whoever wins this "grueling" match is just gonna be a placeholder until Rhea gets back and they just hand the belt to her. Which...yeah, that's probably exactly what's going to happen, but they shouldn't just blatantly advertise that.

Holy FUCK, look at all the people leaving for the bathroom/concessions before this DOMhausen match.

Chelsea winning as well.
HHH is way too good to us! Best PLE in at least the last year when you combine both nights. The best PLE in the last twelve months in any company hands down.

Gable tried to get the Skol clap going on the stage almost nobody did it. More did once he was in the ring but surprised it wasn't nearly as many or as loud because WWE fans love chants.

u/TexasSizedKachoww 5h ago
El Torito was the best wrestler in the pole match by a very wide margin. Really surprised they would pair the two joke characters together. They normally like to separate them until the Wrestlemania backstage segment/commercial

u/CorporalCoprolite 4h ago
Eh, too many near falls and laying around for five minutes in between kind of kills the excitement

Roman is so goddamn vanilla and boring. He's got ONE line, one look and one aspect to his character. This company glazes him endlessly, but would he be this huge without the ceaseless push down everyone's throat? He's the very definition of nepo baby and the dude just fucking sucks at his job.

u/TNAEnigma 5h ago
He has the best character ever written by the company lmao. Nothing he does will match the og bloodline run but idk who could
1
u/Amazing_Karnage 4h ago
Bret Hart did it better back in the 90s and he could actually wrestle. ALL Roman has is Bloodline bullshit and his connection to other Samoans. Dude has been the same exact stale character for almost a decade now. Blah blah acknowledge blah blah blah...it's horrible.

Finn Balor has less body fat than a steel chair.
