    I think he’s awesome and surprised he doesn’t have a bigger role. For a man his size he moves incredibly well

    i think stunt is great. He makes everyone he goes up against look awesome. He’s a jobber without being looked at as a jobber because he’s so fast and agile. I don’t think he’s had a bad match

    Disagree, I think he's universally looked at as a jobber. Seems like the entire purpose of saddling Jurassic Express with him was for him to eat every pin.

    Stunt is pretty popular with fans. They don't necessarily want to see him win but it's fun when he puts up a good fight going against goliaths.

    Also Orange Cassidy is the biggest ratings draw in AEW right now. And that's without fans going crazy each week. Bet as fans return he eventually gets a main event run

    if there were crowds, he’d get big cheers. That’s what I meant, he’s not some nameless jobber no one cares about that comes in to get destroyed

    for me AEW’s biggest success is getting people to care about things that aren’t in the main event. There are very few wrestlers in AEW I just don’t care about.

    That was slowly starting to fade... I’m sure when they return to full arenas next year both companies will get an injection of hyped crowds. Will be curious how both companies capitalize on it.

    Not a new thing to be a jobber who has name recognition. Brooklyn Brawler and Barry Horowitz come to mind. But, he’s 1000% a jobber.

    No one gave a shit about those guys. People like Marko Stunt and cheered for him before the crowds went away.

    That’s cause they were heels. People cheer for faces. Doesn’t mean they ever expect them to win if they’re jobbers.

    Also, FUCK YOU, for saying no one gave a shit about Horowitz. People went fucking nuts when he won his first big match.

    Love the set... girls tag was good.

    this Balor and Priest match is intense.

    Chanting Damian Priest to the Adams Family song is great

    just looked at this card, I guess that Velveteen Dream stuff from a few weeks ago was a hoax?

    She wasn’t flat on her back when Io landed so all of her 90 pounds soaking wet landed on Rhea neck.

    She looked almost unconscious.

    The Ric Flair doc is so emotional. Brings me back to the weekend where I cried like a baby over his retirement.

    Io winning is great, but she should have pinned Flair.

    Charlotte's entire reign feels like a waste in hindsight. It felt like a waste during it too, but whatever.

    I’m curious if Rhea’a visa issues changed the result of that Mania match. Either way I think Charlotte had some great moments but to few in her run as NXT champ. I agree that it largely was a pretty meh run

    I would put that Balor match up with anything and I’m not even a fan of his matches normally. I thought Priest was fantastic.

    Totally forgot about PPV tonight, but watched the end of Part 3 of the Taker thing. Man I forgot how bad the taker/kane and DX match was

    Now I'm watching the Sting thing. RIP Mean Gene

    Man, Pillman talking about personal problems.

    Macho Man, Vader.....shit so many now dead people in this.

    No way Cross is on NXT for long. Vince has to be cumming in his pants to get him and Scarlett on raw. I never liked Damien Priest until tonight he’s damn good.

    Charlotte Reigns

    They're gonna get to Raw and Vince isn't going to understand them, so they will be in a cuck angle in a month.

    I feel biased since it seems like I am really down on the product right now, but this ppv seemed bad for NXT standards. I'll give them a pass for having a bad PPV; so many good ones it's ok to flop one.

    The Balor match was solid and I like what they're doing with Killer Kross at least.

    It was by far the worst takeover I have seen. But Io won so I’m happy.

    That Balor/Priest match was one of the better matches I have watched in a long time. Balor seems reinvigorated and Priest is a star after last night.
