I have absolutely no evidence to back this up but I know it's true in my heart that if Ilja didn't get injured that he'd have the IC championship right now, and the story on RAW would be that Gunther's greatest opponent racking up wins and days for the title he has the record for is getting in his head, knowing that he'd be bringing himself down the card to go confront Ilya about it, and so he has to compete distracted while Ilja's star power keeps rising. There'd be an unspoken competition between the two about who's going to drop their title first

As someone who has only just started watching a weekly raw or smackdown again not just clips, I find it really digestible, and seeing carmello on main roster with Andrade doing good matches got me half way there. Now there's a lot of wrestling weekly for me, even more lol.

2024-12-05 16:59:38 +0000 UTCAgree to disagree, between 2022 and 2024 we got Trick, Melo, Dragunov, Femi, Stratton, Roxanne, Lyra, Cora Jade, Dijak, Je’Von Evans and so many more. I’ll say that 2021-22 was rough in terms of the transition but we’ve seen way way worse. 2018 Raw to be exact. Yeah only two have won significant matches but that doesn’t mean all the other call ups were duds lmao

2024-12-02 20:56:39 +0000 UTCI think NXT is the best it's ever been right now. It's a very fun and very campy show. Very different from main roster.

2024-12-02 01:29:22 +0000 UTCTo add on to that, the NXT Reboot/2.0 is slept on heavily, I can name 20 different matches alone from the last 2 and a half years that were AMAZING but because it isn’t the Triple H version of NXT no one really cares

At the beginning of the match it seemed like I was the only one who wanted ilja to win, but throughout it the crowd started to be split, really cool to experience something like that live

2024-12-02 00:16:01 +0000 UTCI love this match! I was there for that PLE. We drove 2 hours to Bakersfield and don’t regret any bit of it. The crowd was electric the whole night. I really want to see these two cross paths again
