🌪️OVERALL SHOW REVIEWS🌪️

Kayhan The Malapert Smark - 👎


➡️OVERALL SHOW COMMENTS⬅️

⭐️Kayhan: This show is a hot mess. There’s so much stuff going on. Nothing registers. Too many angles. They can move some of this to dynamite instead of a 20-minute match between Mercedes and Yuka Sakazaki… And LFI are back. Stop and go booking. This is the opposite of the tight coherant booking they got at NXT.
