My great-grandfather started Larsen Pork Products with little more than three pigs and a killing hammer. Today, I'm proud to say, we kill more pigs than pig hepatitis.

Oh sweet I missed a bit and just found out that Ellsworth's back, good for him! He's struck me as a solid dude and I'm glad they brought him back in.

Now they just need to stop wasting Asuka we'll be all set.

Kinshasa on the table is about as impressive as when Paige did that submission on the table.

It's still an execution thing. WWE I Quit matches do the same thing as LMS but instead of a 10 count it's the ref yelling over the mic asking if they give up.

It has the same problem as WWE's I Quit matches do, it would work fine if it was a regular match but with only one specific way to win. But they throw out the pacing so that literally every move calls the match to a complete halt to either attempt a 10 count or to ask if the guy quits.

Yep exactly. Just look at the recent NJPW show where they made a 2 out of 3 Falls match absolutely incredible in a way that WWE often fails to pull off. WWE lets the gimmick overshadow the make-up of the match.

The problem with lms matches in wwe is that the premise suggests an escalation of violence and savagery that is never matched by the performance

Like if they premise is a 10 count they should be just slugging and choking each other and beating each other with weapons poo poo

Instead it's just a normal match with a slower more boring form of pin
