➡️COMMENTS⬅️

⭐️Kayhan: “Not a fan of these Tournament group stage matches. Gives me a nice chance to tune out and relax my mind. Ospreay and Fletcher winning, no surprise. My half 👍 credit is from the post match of the Okada/Garcia draw and the disrespect shown by Okada🖕. It was worth it to sit thru that whole match just for that.😆”

🌪️ REVIEWS 🌪️

Kayhan TheMalapertSmark - 👎

➡️COMMENTS⬅️

⭐️Kayhan: “I usually try to judge the day’s angle on its own merit but sometimes an entire program is just ruined by the booking. Mariah May’s entire heel turn has just felt so disingenuous the entire time. Like she’s just trying to be the most awful person she can be without any real reason or explanation. Plus, her character as a face wasn’t developed enough for her heel turn to have any real impact with the audience. I know some people like this and how dastardly she’s been, but I think the whole things been botched from the start. I like Mina. She’s fun. But I have a hard time with anything Mariah.”

Kayhan TheMalapertSmark - 👎

➡️COMMENTS⬅️

⭐️Kayhan: “Well they just built up MxM Collextion on ROH with a nice win so they can beat them here. 👎 for the booking. Why are Private Party in trios action when they’re the tag team champions?”

4) Anna Jay Puts the Women’s Locker on Notice… Will Be Going For Gold Despite Mariah May Loss Setback

ONE SEGMENT (1:07)

-Backstage Lexi Interview: Anna Jay

🌍SUMMARY🌏

🌪️ REVIEWS 🌪️

Kayhan TheMalapertSmark - 1/2 👍

➡️COMMENTS⬅️

⭐️Kayhan: “All right well decent recovery after taking two clean losses and getting shut out of the world title picture. I guess she got a decent rub from Mariah. Beat her once. So this was good enough to send her on the path to working in the midcard and hopefully going for the TBS title. They’ve done decently with Anna Jay lately. At least they’ve been consistently putting her on TV.”

Kayhan TheMalapertSmark - 1/2 👍

➡️COMMENTS⬅️

⭐️Kayhan: “Of all the segments I seen from this program, at least this one had a clear purpose and it made sense as a shoot. Despite all the calls that this feud needs to be put out its misery, Undisputed Kingdom just really wanna finish it off anyway. All right. Have at it.”

🌪️ REVIEWS 🌪️

Kayhan TheMalapertSmark - 👊

➡️COMMENTS⬅️

⭐️Kayhan: “Iron Savages straight up jobbers now. I don’t know if I like what’s going on with the Outrunners lately. The premise is that FTR constantly put them over, and that FTR is so respected in the industry that that has a lot of meaning. But really, man. As far as wrestling. Wtf? It’s such a non entertaining idea. And what is to become of the Outrunners push? Is this the extent of it? That they’ve become an attraction to beat enhancement talent? Idk.”

Kayhan TheMalapertSmark - 👍

➡️COMMENTS⬅️

⭐️Kayhan: “ I liked the promo. I have hope for Castor as a single. I am already quite fond of the weisel ‘Greatest Wrestler Alive’ gimmick. I think this could turn out to be something.”

🌪️ REVIEWS 🌪️

Kayhan TheMalapertSmark - 1/2 👍

➡️COMMENTS⬅️

⭐️Kayhan: “I wasn’t feeling anything significant until the tail end of this with Daniels trying to talk to Hangman. I’m giving my half 👍 credit to this angle just for that… The angle through the match and the afterbirth with Death Riders leaving Yuta hung out to dry meant nothing. They kick his ass themselves sometimes.”

Kayhan TheMalapertSmark - 👊

➡️COMMENTS⬅️

⭐️Kayhan: “Tough spot for Rosa. Given time to cut a promo on a joke feud. How serious can she be about this. I think she can do better than this but not much to work with and this program is inconsequential.”
