⭐️TheMalapertSmark: i guess it’s funky that they had two big melees, but my assessment of this is that it was a very clunky build to this match. like i don’t even know who’s in it exactly, and there doesn’t seem to be anything at stake… i’ll give this a half point on my review just for the stimulation of all the madness… BTW, once again, Death Riders coming out on top here gives away the ending. the faces will win. but who cares… ospreays getting the next world title shot…

⭐️TheMalapertSmark: Not feeling Anthony Bowens “5 tool player gimmick.” this ain’t baseball! who cares if you got five tools?! back to the drawing board, bro… the upcoming mark briscoe match could be interesting. i didnt particularly like the build but i think this match has great potential… the imagery of someone bringing out a stretcher that you’re gonna get taken out on after they beat your a*s is pretty hilarious…
