wouldnt it be cooler to have him strike him until he's unconscious and the ref calls the match?

Riddle and Ohno do some cool things together, but I feel like neither of their (real) matches have had really cohesive throughlines. Lots of fun poo poo to watch, though.

When I was 17, my father was so stupid, I didn't want to be seen with him in public. When I was 24, I was amazed at how much the old man had learned in just 7 years.
I can’t believe NXT has made me feel pity for Ohno.

Riddle is basically a laidback and relaxed dude... until he gets in the ring and turns into a loving murderer.

Not sure the sub by strikes was fully understood by the fans at first but that match was fun and hard hitting and did a hell of a job following that opener.

Submission by strikes is a cool finish but it also requires wrestling fans to have at least a summary knowledge of MMA.

I liked Keith Lee more. Kinda hoped he came out now and turned heel on Riddle.

Is it really that hard to understand being repeatedly elbowed in the head and wanting to not be repeatedly elbowed in the head any more

This reminds me of the No Contest win by Kevin Owens that got a weird reaction in the moment but is not considered a classic finish

Ii know nothing about mma and I figure its just he was being punched so much that he tapped, thus losing the match, in order to stop being punched

A big part of Riddle's appeal is him just going and high fiving everyone in the room before he hits the ring. It doesn't translate to a big arena perfectly.

Honestly, Burch & Lorcan are much better as a team than as opponents so maybe they'll do the same thing where they bond over liking to beat up other people.

For full MMA the ref should've pulled Riddle away and called a TKO before Ohno tapped
