Didn’t understand most of what they said, but I enjoyed listening to them have such a good time talking about pro wrestling!
:chris:

I'm as big a "mark" as Freund so I was geeking out.

Like that they brought up how the women's wrestling has changed.

Speaking of the women there have been 4 episodes of Stephanie's Places available on espn plus if you still have it.

The Rhea Ripley one was extremely good. I was already a fan but am even more of a fan after hearing about how she was treated by others because of her "build".

Hall of Fame just ended, stayed up to see it live. It lived up to the hype especially McCool's and HHH's speeches.

Great point was made that the majority of people in WrestleMania matches are NXT alums.

Jade Cargill/Naomi was a sneaky good match. Cargill has more work to do... but it's obvious why WWE is so high on her. And Naomi carried that match - I'm not sure I've ever seen her do that before.

Jade is a goddam goddess/superhero

Not sure why they put her in a body suit. The woman has a 10 pack and is a work of art

Surprised to see Charlotte to take the L. Normally as soon as she comes back she's booked to win a title.

Tiffany looked like she was fighting nerves the entire match, but to be fair it was her first Mania while defending the Women's title against one of the best of this generation. Because of it the pacing was a bit weird, but at the same time it gave the match a lot of grit. Putting Tiffany over was the right call. All I'll say is she's awkward as a face.

She was kind of fighting nerves in buildup to Mania and as someone relatively new in her career having Charlotte as your first mania match would be intimidating to anyone. Agree that she's not great as a face at least at this point in her career.

Thought tonight was pretty boring until the Stratton-Flair fight and on.

Think Flair wanted to make Stratton earn her win and try and bring back that 4 Horsewomen-Era where the focus is more on beating ass and I don’t think Stratton was used to it. Looks like she chipped multiple teeth at the end there. That being said, was impressed with both sides.

Main event was an unreal thriller. Just bought my Paul Heyman shirt for May 2 in DSM.
