⭐️Kayhan: “Jay White coming out to protest Hangman talking getting a world title shot over him wasnt bad. Jay White’s promo before getting blindsided humored me. And doing the job for Marina was very nice of him. I liked the premise although that front choke hold looked a little weird. It didn’t look like an actual choke. Slight criticism, but I still liked today’s angle 

⭐️Vlad: "Good lord Marina just beat the shit out of all them.”
