I thought they introduced Jacob Fatu as Tama Tonga because I'd never seen either before and was only tangentially aware that Fatu signed.

It was cut out of that clip there, but Jade completely loving botched the previous move she did. I feel for Kairi and Asuka who are going to have to put their working boots on to get anything watchable out of Jade at this point.

It's funny because people were swearing up and down that Jade is a huge megastar in the making. She absolutely has the look, but when it comes to mic skills she's subpar at best, and her in ring abilities are abysmal. And now WWE is likely gonna give her the tag titles, when she's had a whopping total of less than 15 minutes of ring time (in WWE) if you don't count the Rumble. And audiences seem to be quickly catching on that she's severely limited, as her reactions have been getting progressively more and more muted every time she wrestles.

She could be a megastar but she needs practice. She was pushed real hard in AEW with little training but they papered over her greeness. I don’t really consider not being able to promo a bad thing just look at Brock but WWE hates managers. I don’t think she’ll get the right training in WWE but I don’t think she really cares either. It seems like WWE is just a stepping stone to bigger things for her.

The funny thing about this is that some fans are trying to justify Jade getting this huge of a push because the other women like Chelsea, Piper, Kairi, Asuka, Dakota, etc are "too good at selling so they can't be top stars".

Jades cooler than Roman and he has all these problems. So long as she looks cool walking to the ring for ten minutes she’ll be fine.

roman reigns isnt a good wrestler but he can run the ropes without looking like there's 1/6 odds of someone getting injured in the process

Caught the Smackdown main at the bar, and I thought it was really good. Putting AJ Styles, Kevin Owens, and Rey Mysterio in a ring and just letting them wrestle without any bullshit is a novel idea that paid off.

Seth Rollins will have to be dragged kicking and screaming out of the company even if they let him go. He loves the taste of boot leather too much to quit.

Jade also had that amazing match with Statlander on her way out. It's kinda hilarious how quickly she's turned into Charlotte where she's realized she does not have to give a singular gently caress.

I agree with this and the match with Lashley, Santos Escobar and LA knight Was also a good match too

e: that reminded me of Bandido holding Jericho up for like 60+ seconds that one time

I bet if Hook got on the gas it would immediately activate the Taz genes. It would be like Paul drinking the water of life except instead of being prescient, Hook would wake up a perfect square.

Drew isn’t going anywhere either he’s having a great time with this heel run and clearly going out of his way to build heat for a Punk match.

Great, now I'm reminded of Alvarez' commentary from when Taz debuted at Victory Road, but with Hook instead.

"And suddenly out comes Hook, looking completly square. Hook comes down to the ring, I'm trying to think. I think he looks like a refrigerator. I don't know, Hook rolls down to the ring like a piece of luggage" and so on.

And in one glorious moment of the usual finisher-stealing, Punk will attempt Drew's Claymore Kick and rip his own leg of in the process.
