I read that less as a smile than it was supposed to look like a mixture of shock/pain.

I kinda want him to beat Ho Ho just so there's a for real heel with heat in this tournament who is also pretty good at wrestling

It's nice to have a clear-cut heel in what is essentially a "who's who" tourney.

Ho Ho is a good natural face and Daivari seems to be a good natural heel, it's a good pairing!

Ho Ho Lun seems like a first year wrestling student. Like he isn't terrible but he hasn't fully figured out how to put everything together.

Lun seems like a really sweet guy so he's got some natural babyface sympathy going for him no matter what he does, but he seems... really limited in the ring

And yeah Daivari impressed me a lot

Where your crystal minds and magenta feelings
Take up shelter in the base of my spine
Sweet like a chica cherry cola

The thing that's sticking out to me even as a filthy casual is how much he's Anticipating everything before it happens. Like to an extent everyone does it, but for example on that pinfall he was already pulling Daivari up like a half second before Daivari moved

Oh well, Ho Ho wins! Yay!

yeah he reminds me of a lot of the younger guys from small local indies who are athletic and have the basics down but are just kinda doing moves

Hong Kong has like no wrestling scene to speak of so this makes sense.

Ho Ho is a great babyface, I can see why WWE brought him in.
