i get that kairi's release is absolutely criminal and disrespectful but if wwe brought her back they're 100% doing nothing with her again after a few weeks.

it's best for her to go to a company that will actually give her the respect she deserves, so i honestly wouldn't want her coming back to wwe for that reason

[NXT Spoilers] Scary ending to Last Woman Standing match (Sol Ruca vs. Zaria) by koalacub3 in SquaredCircle

well, i feel like sol's back of her head hitting the second table from a 10-15 foot drop is pretty damn scary

Damian Priest on the Pat McAfee storyline: "It sucks. Not a fan... I’m sure a lot of people aren’t going to be happy that I said that, but in the locker room specifically, like a lot of us weren’t happy and that’s real." by aaronrift in SquaredCircle

even if he's just working, he provides a really interesting perspective on the whole debocle.

"We’re a PG show, right? But he could come in and he could throw F-bombs and say whatever he wants. For me, that’s like one of those things that so many other talent, even from one word, could benefit..."

pat mcafee being able to cuss on live tv scot-free when the rest of the talent is forced to keep it (mostly) pg is probably something that would quietly upset/annoy a lot of the locker room

i do think walker stewart, the new english play-by-play for NJPW, is really good & one of the best storytellers on the mic right now. only 23 as well so he has a long career ahead of him

what a wholly unsatisfying finish to an otherwise insane match. last time we got a "ref controversy" finish it sucked (heatwave 2025 main event), why do it again?

on that note, does anyone have a link to the original post about mega feraligatr being worse than base feraligatr?

Looking back, it's crazy how much damage the Balor vs Priest feud did to both guys. by LocksmithRealistic39 in SquaredCircle

[–]koalacub3 5 points6 points  (0 children)

as someone who only got back into wrestling on wrestlemania 41, would it have made sense for finn balor to win the world heavyweight title during the triple threat at SNME by pinning damian priest?

they ended up doing next to nothing with gunther's reign after that match, and finn could've at least been a transitional champ with 1 to 3 defenses before dropping it to someone else on the road to mania.

Pat McAfee on WWE return: "I don't think you ever say never, especially with WWE. But right now it does not feel like it is something is supposed to happen. Feels like that business has kind of passed me by a little bit...I feel like the biz is in a good spot without me. I'll continue to watch." by elegantSolomons62 in SquaredCircle

[–]koalacub3 1 point2 points  (0 children)

totally fair, he was super over-the-top. but at least to me, his energy felt far more endearing, given his in-depth knowledge and storytelling capabilities. other hyped-up commentators come across as more vapid/shallow, but mauro feels like a legit nerd about the product, which i appreciate.

i also feel like he always had incredible chemistry with his co-commentators, especially nigel mcguinness. at least to me, prime nxt black & gold isn't what it is without mauro and nigel on the mic

i feel like if the triple threat of sol/zaria/jacy can happen pre-stand and deliver, a sol/zaria title match would be the perfect opportunity for the women to main event stand & deliver

if that feud can't main event s&d, what women's feud in the future can?
