What happened in the Rambo that made everyone hate it so much?

I thought it was pretty boring and you could see where it was going from a mile away.

Also, there’s just something extremely anticlimactic about a battle royal that ends with four people left.

I look at the one in AEW a few weeks ago and there were fun spots, it built to big moments and the final pair were people you cared about. This was just a thing that was there.

Absolutely incredible atmosphere with the full crowd, two fantastic wrestlers, the sunset really added to the look of the match, and goddamn I always forget not only how great Riho is but how she just seems to have a natural babyface connection with the crowd. Plus Deeb is awesome too and... just a great match!

sami calihan is like if you took the deathmatches from the bottom half of a gcw card and stretched them out to 35 minutes and removed the actually interesting spots

actually this is unfair to the bottom half of a gcw card because everyone save shlak is more charismatic than this clown motherfucker

Honestly, this is unfair to Shlak
