Timbo Slice Posted August 27, 2023 Author Report Share Posted August 27, 2023 If that’s their Spring Stampede ‘94 match? That’s a great way to go out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Thread Killer Posted August 27, 2023 Report Share Posted August 27, 2023 Anyone remember a few years ago when the snarky consensus on Joe was that he was washed up, all done and needed to retire? Yeeeaaahhh. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeeeaaahhh. The thing is: it wasn't even snark. He looked completely gone, gassing very fast. The fact he's been putting this much work after looking like that is even more impressive.

sek69 Posted August 27, 2023 Report Share Posted August 27, 2023 Yeah Joe clearly had zero motivation in NXT/WWE, this has been a complete turnaround. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Thread Killer Posted August 27, 2023 Report Share Posted August 27, 2023 I figured there would be a problem as soon as Perry basically called Punk out during his match with Hook with that whole “Real glass…cry me a river” shot. I didn’t think it would happen right away, of course. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MoS Posted August 27, 2023 Report Share Posted August 27, 2023 This match is definitely suffering from having to follow Punk-Joe Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Timbo Slice Posted August 27, 2023 Author Report Share Posted August 27, 2023 Kota looks like he can’t really communicate well in this match. Or he’s limiting himself. Either way, it’s a hamper. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Timbo Slice Posted August 27, 2023 Author Report Share Posted August 27, 2023 Also, what did JR say about Punk and Hangman at the start of the match? He trailed off a bit Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MoS Posted August 27, 2023 Report Share Posted August 27, 2023 I didn't catch that, but he has been shitting on this match throughout Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Perfectly Straightedge Posted August 27, 2023 Report Share Posted August 27, 2023 I don’t care for Hangman at all. I used to think he was the future but his booking is next level awful since he dropped the title. Also I hate to say it but Ibushi has been disappointing missing spots and just works slow and looks off. What’s with Hangman and Kota just sitting at the ring apron staring in the ring. Like make it more obvious we are going spot to spot please. It really hurts matches. We get wrestling is a work but come on now. Jim Ross: Why is everything Golden? Wow, what insight Ross. Also I will always be pro punk and I could care less about a “physical confrontation” with someone like Jack Perry but Perry taking a shot on the biggest show of the year is a very stupid thing to do. Like just move on who cares if it’s real glass or not. If it’s real glass and you seriously hurt yourself. Just makes you look like an idiot. Well that six man KILLED the momentum of this show for me Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Timbo Slice Posted August 27, 2023 Author Report Share Posted August 27, 2023 Yeah, when they said that afterwords, I was like, “That’s a terrible Queen reference.” I’m a Queen mega fan and that was like a Top 100 Queen reference. Something to be said for simplicity. It’s why Punk/Joe hit and a lot of what since hasn’t. Thankfully the tag has picked that up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Same Freddie Mercury is probably one of the best rock singers of all time and I get paying homage to legends and greats but some things are home runs and others are misses. This was a massive whiff that’s just my opinion though. This match has been a pick up for sure. Still seems off for whatever reason to me. I don’t know why though.

Timbo Slice Posted August 27, 2023 Author Report Share Posted August 27, 2023 Bucks look sloppy. Timing has been good but execution leaves a lot to be desired. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
