Man that spot with Ricochet and JoMo! The precision on the dive plus how they safely fell (I would assume) are just another level

As they should. He's a tremendous rassler, and nobody could play that character successfully like he has. He's also helped revitalize Orton - who could have gone way downhill after working with Bliss.

That Morrison/Ricochet spot was awesome

Glad hes getting agood push. Though his 1st name should have been restored

Yeah and you can clearly see Orton enjoying this storyline. Man, Orton transitioning to this mentor role makes me feel old

Imagine how old I feel - remembering his father wrestling Adrian Adonis - when Adonis wasn't yet a complete blob. It sticks in my memory, because it was the first time I ever saw 2 heels wrestle each other - and it was a very good "scientific" match. And it was the first championship match of a new wrestling organization that tried very unsuccessfully to compete with the WWF.

I like Riddle as well.

Although, every match I wonder how long it takes until he suffers a serious foot injury.

It makes no sense why they take names away like that. If you google "Riddle" it brings up nothing but actual riddles. If someone is watching Raw and thought that guy is pretty cool, it makes it just more difficult for them to find/follow them.

Wasn't aware that Natalya and Temina are heels now. And dang I just realized we could get another Legacy stable with the women this time

Man, Riddle is entertaining af. His comedy is getting up there with the Shawn's, Jericho's, Austin's, and Rock's of the industry. Effortless

Dropping the first name makes no sense in this case. It's bad business! If I do a google search for "Riddle," the wrestler's wikipedia isn't on the first page of results. Neither is his WWE profile page, his twitter or his instagram. If I do a YouTube search for "Riddle," I can only see one WWE-related video in the first 30-or-so results. But if I search "Matt Riddle," it's all bro-related!

Eventually, they'll change his name to Bro. Riddle is too long.

Caught two segments of Raw so far tonight. The backstage segment with Alexa Blis, Deudrop and Eva — which was absolutely terrible. I mean, what were we supposed to think following that segment? What emotion were we supposed to feel? Confusion? Because that’s what it left me with.

Then the Omos vs Erik match. Neither guy seems like they can work (especially Omos). Everything looked slow, and thought out and fake. Omos’ movements and facial expressions are sub-par — for lack of a better word. Nothing believable about the guy. Doesn’t have personality, isn’t a good worker and doesn’t even look like an intimidating 7+ footer.

Curious how they'll follow through with this Lashley aggression. Drive and passion is of a typical face, but he's presented as a heel. Can't be an antihero tweener since he's been so dominant

tugs · Post #1716 » by **tugs** » Tue Jul 13, 2021 9:30 am

Oh, Bliss' moveset is miles better now but I still hate the character since the tradeoff was losing Bray

Dr Positivity · Post #1717 » by **Dr Positivity** » Wed Jul 14, 2021 9:37 pm

I don't know if this would be a good thing or bad thing but I've had the gut feeling for a while Riddle's bro character = Doctor of Thugonomics. He becomes the next guy and this is his comedy beginning.

Well that was a horrific debut by Kross. No point advancing him if you do that.

Don't understand the Kross debut.

Let’s have a guy who hasn’t been pinned in a year debut without his full entrance (best feature), without his valet, and have him lose in 2 minutes. Brilliance.

I honestly wouldn’t be shocked to learn later this week that he failed a drug test or something. This was simply a burial.
