    I don't watch NXT so I can't say anything about it.
    Squashes work when it's local enhancement talent or talent really low on the roster designated to be jobbers like Brooklyn Brawler or Gillberg. Natalya, Indi and Candice don't fit either of those groups. Gunther is full-time and doesn't have short matches makes no sense for Rhea who's a much bigger star to be doing them. An occasional squash is fine but they make up 90% of her main roster matches and it's so freaking boring and helps nobody involved.

    Yes ladders can be dangerous in spots in wrestling. Remember the idiot spot with Dante Martin months earlier ? Yep... they can be dangerous with how they are used in matches.


    I did like Dutch Mantell's joking about this.

    This is was basically what he said nearly. "I could see a booker going Dutch , were gonna have you thrown face 1st through that glass tonight. I'd be like , real glass ? Why not the fake glass instead ? After I refuse to do it I could see dirt sheets going ....tonight at the tapings Dutch Mantell refused to put his face through real glass in a match."

    We may joke about Al Snow but he literally in this shows why he's teaching young men and women in Ohio Valley Wrestling now. In fact Snow in a sense breaks down the story telling aspect.

    - Snow brings up how the entire part of this from a story telling part in the match makes no sense in this match. That Penta is up on the ladder and he could just turn back where Dante is and pluck down the titles. BOOM match over because the objective is to win the titles. Snow brings up how he could see Dante being a pest and going up at him repeatedly to stop him and then Penta is like , I gotta take this sob out !


    - He also could see a situation that during the match if Dante had done something so bad to Penta , he is angry and decides its time for revenge ...then yes. But the spot alone is just thrown in for a momentary moment. Which helps no one here because the people will forget it in time.



    In all professor Al Snow teaching basics.

    I did say I had an issue with Candice being on the receiving end.

    Rhea wrestles more often than Gunther does. Gunther is booked as an attraction as his singles matches are more spread out compared to other full time guys. The company must be grooming him to be their new final boss to succeed Lesnar.

    drops kicks are dangerous too, look at these idiots


    they could've just done a clothesline spot for the same effect but wanted to be flashy instead.

    Eddie Kingston is a treasure. He took a promo about Fight Forever into wanting to fight Claudio.

    And you notice how you didn't really refute anything Snow laid down there right ? Because he's literally teaching a class on psychology and story telling in matches here. Snow I forgot brings up how Jeff Hardy did an insane ladder bump on Edge at a Wrestlemania. And he could have done the same deal too and he brought it up to someone then.


    But I can see why you wouldn't wanna watch this. Al Snow of all people is talking about telling a story in ring and well...its Al Snow doing this. The guy who carried a plastic head around and got over more for that.

The women have never gotten a ton of spotlight under his watch because he doesn't care about women's wrestling.

    The proof is in the pudding. Their matches and segments constantly get cut or drastically shortened, they get less matches in general, never main event anything and most of the women he rehired are MIA. Where the hell are Emma and Tegan Nox? What was the point in bringing them back? They're not even used on Raw as jobbers they're permanent fixtures in catering and Main Event which nobody watches.
    Ya remember all those people saying how HHH was going to change things and how different Raw was going to be plan and simple he ran wwe like NXT just ok at best.

    Ratings have been down on both Raw and Smackdown. What is the main cause? HHH booking?

    Hey Super, did you know that Stevie Richards has a youtube channel? He started one a month ago. He does match analysis videos.

    https://www.youtube.com/@StevieRichardsWrestling/videos

    I saw the goldberg one. I never realized how sloppy Goldberg's execution of the move was.

    I know he's done some shoot interviews. Glad he's up and around. Months ago he had surgery and was using a walker in a photo.
