⭐️Kayhan: “My 👍 is only for Okada’s promo. I am perplexed at Kyle Fletcher losing to Mark Briscoe. I thought he was supposed to be the next big thing. Why not have him lose clean, then. SMH.”

⭐️Kayhan: “So the story is Toni Storm is just going to forget the “Timeless” gimmick and start over. Don’t like it. That’s  too silly. They could have just forgot about that and started over.”

Kayhan TheMalapertSmark - 👊

➡️COMMENTS⬅️

⭐️Kayhan: “I like Thunder Rosa as a worker but her promos haven’t excited me. I think she could put on a great match with Mariah but not if the whole program is Rosa just going up there and jobbing. I don’t see Mariah as being as great at TK is. If it were me I’d at least trade the titles back forth between Rosa and Mariah to spice things up. But since Mariah is just going to win, this is gonna be boring.”
