Wrestling trivia for babies?

If you want a little more challenging, guy initially screwed up on 13 and said WWE heavyweight championship

Anyone else watching live? Is Michael Cole just going to solo commentate this whole thing? It’s like watching a hyper realistic video game.

I can’t imagine watching live and not being able to fast forward through the boring parts.

Not sure if you know this, but the world is ending and there is literally nothing else on or anything to do. :slight_smile:

Take a nap and watch it later?

Damn. Word on the sheets is the Miz showed up to a taping with illness symptoms and Roman said “Fuck this” and noped out (which is totally the right move by Reigns.)

What a royal fuck up by Miz. I really like the guy, but that’s super shitty

Women’s tag title match was just kind of there. Hot tags are less exciting if there is no audience to pop for them.

FF through Elias/Corbin and most of KO vs Rollins. These matches are why I don’t watch live.

Really dug the endings for Lynch/Baszler and the ladder match.

I liked that Bryan/Zayn left plenty of room for the feud to continue.

Strowman/Goldberg was just there. Not offensive, but not special.

Boneyard match was fun, but nowhere near as fun as the Final Deletion.

I hope they do more with the 24/7 title on night 2.

This Firefly Funhouse Match is incredible.

Show as a whole was about what I expected. Though I appreciate them doing something creative with boneyard and firefly. Going to also be weird the first time we see basketball without a crowd, but wrestling in particular really needs a crowd. Shame both big title matches were just finisher spams, but that was expected too. Would have liked to see Rhea win, but whatever. She’s 23 and going to be a superstar. Gives something for Charlotte to do.

So I just read the results of the firefly funhouse match.

Wat?

Firefly Funhouse match was great. I really dug the women’s fiveway match, mainly because of Bayley’s talking throughout. Last man standing was a match that dragged between two guys I don’t care about. Rhea Ripley’s outfit seemed weird, but apparently it is an homage to her favorite Dragon Ball Z character.

Also, lol at rumors that WWE plans on having a secret taping in an undisclosed location in a state currently under lockdown. Kinda hope that they get caught. I’d narc on them if I knew where it was talking place.

An interesting article on the Firefly Funhouse match:

I recommend pretty much all of Brandon’s writings on wrestling. I’ve been following him since the ProgressiveBoink days. Incredibly talented.

I was not prepared for this.
