Why would I watch that first match if I don’t like PnP and they’re going to win? That match is too predictable to bother watching.

I will watch the Sonny Kiss one tho cuz Kiss is the best and he needs support in his fight against Dipshit McGee.

Because their is more to wrestling story telling than who wins?

PnP feels fine just because it's their gimmick. If someone else gave them the gimmick it might feel racist, especially if it was totally disconnected from who they really were as people. But they've been working a version of this for years and it feels like something they made themselves so it seems fine to me.

Yeah, that's still fair because white culture isn't a real thing.

Yeah, even if done right I don't think it would be that good. It would come off like a very special sitcom episode where we are all taught the lesson that body shaming is bad.

Yeah, it's the right move for the show right now but I'm hoping when live shows come back they still throw in some tv quality shows.

It also makes sense from a business perspective. If you don't need to send folks home happy at a live show and you're mostly dependent on TV right now you save all the good stuff for TV.

Do you think they scrapped the idea for the trios belt?

Might be on hold until live shows come back.

This is way better work for Brandi. She's not required to be an amazing wrestler and it leans into her personality. The nightmare collective was such a mistake.

I think the fashionista thing could work but Chanel just kind of looks slightly embarrassed by the whole thing

I feel like I'm just missing context. It probably works better in a format that isn't jobber in a match.

That poor jobber looked bad in that finishing sequence. Like her training was that someone explained what wrestling was.

I love the cart driving away.

I love that Avalon and Cutler get to have a lot of offense. Explicitly making their problem mental and teamwork is a cool way for them to be jobbers but still get cool spots

Was Chanel some kind of rib we're just not in on or something?

It looks like it's just her gimmick. I don't know a ton about her but a quick Google makes it look like shes pretty green. Maybe another QT student?

It makes sense that OC, the "least effort" wrestler, just decides to hit his finisher at the beginning of the match to end it ASAP

I feel like this version of OC is officially a different gimmick than indies OC but they've done a very good job at making him a main event wrestler while sticking to the spirit of the gimmick.
