➡️COMMENTS⬅️

⭐️Kayhan: “I don't understand the deal with Ryan Nemeth trying to sabotage Joe Hendry. I'm thinking either Ryan Nemeth is in with JBL or both Ryan and Nic are and they're working the people. Either way, I don't think the JBL thing is a compelling enough program to make this the biggest thing in the company."

➡️COMMENTS⬅️

⭐️Kayhan: “Well isn't Joe Hendry just the ultimate good guy? Having Nic Nemeth's back against the System despite Nemeth's questionable moral center? We never got a resolution to whether Nemeth is in on it with JBL. So I don't get why Hendry is being so nice to Nemeth. He's just nice, I guess. I liked the idea of Kazariam waiting at guerilla for his chance to pounce and cash in that contract. But I was slightly disappointed in the flat end to the show with Nemeth and Hendry just staring at each other."

Kayhan TheMalapertSmark - 👍

➡️COMMENTS⬅️

⭐️Kayhan: “I'm a little confused by this program, honestly. Like what does Steve Maclin want? He keeps getting matches with Alexander and losing. I don't know what he wants Santino to do about that? I think he's gotta do something drastic to get the type of match he wants with Alexander. EY is kinda right. This is on Maclin. I like this. I like the intensity and seriousness. Even though the direction has been a little strange. Never seen a guy get so dominated in a feud and not give in."

Kayhan TheMalapertSmark - 👎

🌍SUMMARY🌏

🌪️ REVIEWS 🌪️

Kayhan TheMalapertSmark - 👊

➡️COMMENTS⬅️

⭐️Kayhan: “Masha challenging Alisha to a NQ must mean Jordynne's promised to have her back because we all know Tasha's gonna be there for Alisha. Not such a huge fan of Masha or Jordynne's promos. This is all about Alisha. She's been the star heel on the Knockouts side of things. I think this will be entertaining but no way Masha loses that title."
