@Jussi I also recall hearing a about a year ago that Graves had been medically cleared again, but I don't think he's taking that risk.

While I believe it may be a work in the sense it could shape a different persona for Graves, pushing him further heel, embracing chaos.

Or maybe I'm just hoping lol

A definite work by Graves, just not sure what the angle is. 3 person table at nxt isnt going to work as booker rambles on constantly, that cannot be their plan for graves long term

Well if you're gonna criticize AEW for it, gotta criticize WWE too...

... Why is Randy still sidelined from the safest piledriver of all time, and Cody still selling a neck injury from a package piledriver, but Chad Gable takes a Canadian Destroyer and kicks out at 2?

Gable's finisher is a neck-bridge german bro doesn't sell neck injuries

Cody was also back a few days later after getting stretchered off after a package piledriver - bro had every spinal injury imaginable and he just trots down like nothing happened.

Yeah... Cody taking 2 weeks for a way more devastating PD than Orton, who has been out for two months, took, is kinda ridiculous.

I mean you can add that Orton has legit back problems, but he's also a mountain of muscle at this point.

Orton also can take time off more, as per his new contract. Similar to A.J before his most recent injury.

This conversation is not about how much time Orton is allowed to take off per his contract lol.

It is now.

Nah, not really. But go ahead and divert on your own little rabbit trail into your own world lol.

 

[Jussi]

Alexa Bliss posted that she's down to her pre-pregnancy level weight so I guess she's set to return.

Wrestling Moves That Make No Sense

Some professional wrestling moves simply don't make any sense at all, even if the moves are over with the audience.

Perhaps no move in wrestling requires as massive a suspension of disbelief as the Canadian Destroyer. Somehow, fans are expected to believe a guy can get an opponent into a piledriver move, then flip upside down, picking his opponent up with him into a piledriver, all by himself. Sure, it looks awesome but even the most gullible "mark" can't believe this is done without the opponent helping.

It was worse when someone like Petey Williams did it to a guy bigger than him. Adam Cole is good with it and others can make it look fun, but that doesn't take away from the Destroyer living up to its name by destroying any realism in a wrestling move.

This, again, has nothing to do with the topic of selling the piledriver like death while immediately kicking out of a destroyer.

Yes. We all know wrestling is cooperative. Thank you, again, for completely diverting from the point being made.

Everyone kicks out of a "destroyer".

I'm very aware that you're still not getting the point.

I'm also very unsurprised.

Hmm, they didn't cut to a break during the pic-in-pic break on Netflix.

SmackDown for the internationals on Netflix have ads now, for me at least. It's just live actions of wrestlers posing with a countdown bar.

That's what it's been like since the first Smackdown broadcast. If there's a picture-in-picture commercial break, then they continue with the match. Edit: and apparently now.

Someone in the crowd is doing that Maui scream way too much.

And The Weeknd has left.
