➡️COMMENTS⬅️

⭐️Kayhan: This is fine, Im just not interested in it. Im sure Lee Johnson vs Komander will be nice for the high flying fans. Just not interested... and QT is so not interesting. It's weird. He's kinda decent at performing wrestling tropes but I just dont believe him.

Kayhan TheMalapertSmark - 1/2 👍

➡️COMMENTS⬅️

⭐️Kayhan: At least it's something interesting here. What happened to Iron Savages? I’m giving this half a point grading on a curve. This really wasn’t a good segment, but it peaked my interest. Preston & Griff could speak a little more loudly and clearly.

Kayhan TheMalapertSmark - 👊

➡️COMMENTS⬅️

⭐️Kayhan: Built GOA up up to have em lose at Collision. Yeah. I had already watched Collision before this. Did a job to the House of Black guys. Sighhhh. Idk. I feel Gates of Agony should be pushed as scary guys for the ROH brand. I know Brodie and Matthews could use a big win but idk about Gates of Agony doing a job. There’s a preview of my Collision review.
