She was definitely milking it though, amirite?
 

oh so he SHOOT hates these guys lmao
Was not expecting a Kross pipebomb to grace my timeline lol

It’s insane the complete change of heart I’ve had with Karrion. Multiple times across his WWE arc.

Thought he was amazing when he showed up in NxT. Got sick of him fast. Then he turned into a gladiator. Now dudes one of my favorites on the entire roster.
 
Kross is an interesting case of how to murder a guy with a perfect look and it's taken him a long time to get anything close to what he should have back.

But he's still got Scarlett so at the end of the day he's doing just fine.
 
Part of me loves that they’re apparently just running back Cena’s old feuds but with him as the heel now but the other part of me wishes that they’d use this run to put guys over.

Ehhhhh, bald-headed / pencil goatee wasn’t a perfect look. Long hair / beard took the look to another level

I am not a fan of the hair lol. I think I liked when he had short hair. But I'm just mostly going by physique, the tattoos, etc. He looked like a guy who would murder you, then they turned him into a demolition reject/gladiator.
 
Joe Tess announcing this with the gravity of Cronkite announcing the JFK assassination

Joe Tess announces wrestling like it’s the most serious thing, and I kind of love him for it. Like he actually thinks the heels are dastardly and not playing their role.
 
Looking at people whining in the playoff threads about foul merchants, and doing the usual extrapolating their own tastes into what everybody and/or nobody wants to see.

... Which weirdly brought me back around to wrasslin'. In the wake of WrestleMania weekend whom do you think causes the biggest disconnect between what the paying fans want and what the IWC wants, Jey Uso or Rhea Ripley? 'Cause both of them are over as **** with the live crowds, and all I ever hear online is people ****ting all over both of them.
 
I didn't realize Rhea was a problem in the IWC so off hand I'd say Jey? As for personal preference, Jey has grown on me immeasurably over the last 5 years or so while I liked generic muscle lady Rhea more than what we have now. But I have no problems where either are at in the cards. Charlotte and McIntyre are charisma vacuums to me.

Rhea’s been a slow burn as online people have gotten sick of her being at the top of the card. The masses turned on Jey right after he won the Rumble.
 

all that time working with Natalya paying off for Maxxine. She’s so much better in ring than she was a year ago. Also shoutout to the guy in the crowd with the Gold Mikki Moore jersey lmao
 
Cora and Gigi cut too despite Gigi being in a storyline/title match literally a couple of days ago and Cora being involved in the TNA/NXT stuff in a big way over the last couple of months. Now the sudden Roxanne/Giulia pairing makes sense.
 
Also that whole Meta-Four segment from this week was nasty work and even more so in hindsight now that we know Jakara got cut lol

Pissed about Dakota. She should be Women’s IC Champ.

Cora is likely a matter of staying healthy. I imagine a year long run of good health in TNA and the door will be wide open.

And they tried with Gigi… it just never clicked in the ring in NXT. Be it injury or what, she just has never impressed.

KC’s got done dirty by one of the most ill-fitting gimmicks I can remember. The partying and dancing just never fit at all. Their finisher is one of the coolest tag team finishers in the game and I hope they get a shot together elsewhere in a better fitting gimmick.

I hope that TNA already got a chance to air all their pre-taped shows featuring Cora before she got cut.
