the first Buddy-Andrade match was an eye opener, Buddy hitting the ring with malicious intent during Andrade's match set the hook, and everything else has slowly drawn me in. the ladder match got a little "modern" for me in the 2nd half (and the power bomb should have been an injury angle lol), but even the contrivances paid off in fun ways at the end .

my wife has watched a full 2/3 of the episodes in entirety with me! on a Saturday!! and Ishii popped her for real the first time he dropped Darby Allin with one shot. that was a tremendous match, and did more for him in my eyes in 10 minutes than the rest of his appearances combined.

there's really no other way to say it...everyone is coming off like pro athletes in the only sport that will tolerate their outlandish behavior, which is just the way I like it.

Its definitely "that" and FTR is a major major reason why.

im headed to the Slams Saturday night, and I really hope they have a spot for him. I really wanted him and Logan Paul, but I have a feeling Ricochet is gonna take an L so maybe thats for the best.
