funny comparing title wins in WWE to elsewhere. Kenny Omega went at Okada like 4 or 5 times in exhausting endurance matches before he finally won. Meanwhile Seth was booked for a 3 minute match with Brock, kicked him in the dick then stomped him 3 times to win the title. Sasha and Charlotte exchanged the title every month for a 5 month span. Belts just don't mean poo poo in WWE. Meanwhile Dragon Gate won't even let PAC lose on other shows to preserve his image as champion.

Who's your mate?!
Stuff like this always makes me cringe. It's just another reason why I'm happy I don't support or watch WWE anymore.

Rollins knows full well back when he was in ROH he'd have never let a WWE guy make out that they are better than he is, yet here we are years later and he's making dumb comments like this.

I can't remember the last Rollins match that actually blew me away. He's probably not had one since the original Shield days for me, and that was based on him being part of a unit and against amazing workers like Bryan. Yet Ospreay has had two MOTYC in the past month alone.

Normally don't like Will's twitter but this seems super on point given his BOSJ run

Seth Rollins is the guy in your fantasy league who offers his bench for your superstar because "when you add up the stats you're getting more" and then acts shocked when you reject it outright

"See, I worked a PPV, TV and 4 house shows this week and had a 2.5 star match on all of them, so that's 15 stars, but Ospreay only had 2 5 star matches. Therefore I'm better."

Ospreay also seems like he legit wants to put the past behind him and improve as a person, forgot if his tweet was in this thread but it was along the lines of "I legit said and did stupid poo poo and admittedly it was shite" so that was encouraging

That Rollins tweet is also kind of lovely because it somewhat dismisses Ricochet even though he's trying to give him props. Saying "we have another version of you" seems like a poor choice of words and comes off like all of these guys are the same/do the same stuff just with different coats of paint. I'm sure that's not what he meant, of course, but the wording just came off that way to me.

Blah blah blah blah!!
I was saying earlier in the year how good Osprey has become. His strikes have more weight behind them then he used to. And he’s really become conscious about his timing and move placement. Rollins has always been a good wrestler but I feel like he’s just been at a stagnant place. His strikes have actually become super weak looking too. He also just doesn’t have any real sense of urgency when he’s doing anything. That could just be the wwe style though. I also can’t tell you the last time Rollins had a match anywhere near as good as Osprey vs Shingo

I originally hated the Kota/Ospreay match because I thought it was ugly and sloppy and it turns out that's exactly what they were aiming for. I got worked. Will Ospreay is the bset.

It rules that this is the match that Seth has decided to put his foot down about and announce himself as the best in the world. An overbooked mess where he fought a full time waiter who's passion is actually his 2019 Nu-Metal band and the biggest pop of the match was his Girlfriend doing a run in.

And 2 weeks after the actual best in the world had back to back classics, but that doesn't count because he's smol and WWE has the wiffle bat version of Ricochet.

I 100% don't think Seth believes a word of what he's saying. He's got the top belt, he's a fan favorite, and he's dating the top female star. This is a dude reading the room, seeing the next WCW on the horizon, and cementing his money position at the top of the card. There's an entire audience of one for these tweets and his name is Vicent Kennedy McMahon.

Didnt watch the show but it seems like Lacey is the only reason that match had any heat and otherwise Seth and Corbin would have clusterfucked to a symphony of silence in front of a quarter of a crowd. It's almost like hes trying to convince himself the company isn't stale as gently caress and losing viewers at a rapid clip.

Come October when AEW starts airing and is hopefully a success out of the gate WWE's talents tweets are going to be fun with them cracking up. Once they see talent cut promos in their own voice or check social media and see AEW hanging out with their families or by the pool while they making the trek to live events in quarter-filled small arenas. And then there are the fans online giving them the business lol.
