2018 Backlash (Finisher Kickout Count: 2) - Page 2 - Wrestling -- Two Plus Two Poker Forums

"Both of these men deserve a standing ovation." In kayfabe, how about no, Cole. Miz just totally emptied the clip, reloaded, emptied another clip, and then lost to the first big pin attempt. He was booked as a huge loser here.

I was shocked

Idk why I was shocked but a mix of shock, confusion and disgust that a single curbstomp from an injured leg wins it

Right, if you're playing the knee angle, the figure four should have 100% finished it. The correct finish if you want to introduce the knee is knee to the post, figure four, tap/pass out. Otherwise you make him look unbeatable which is a stupid way to make your wrestlers seem, because then what's the point?

Alright, just poured myself a drink. In for "co-branded" and finisher kickouts. (Will not be catching up on the instances that have already happened.)

idk about the finisher kickouts but the no selling of the superplex by both Seth and whoever his opponent happens to be tilts me to no end. Miz gets hit with a superplex and immediately hits the SCF then immediately goes for the pin. Awful.

rollins has been booked huge for a while now. not surprising the booking here. You guys forget he fought for like an hour 15min+ in that gauntlet match eliminating Cena and<insert who else it was>, then booked big at elim chamber, then wins the belt at WM...him kicking out of 2 SCF isnt surprising given his previous couple months

Also I have zero idea what these women's finishers actually are, so I'll need some guidance on that.

It's (not) worth mentioning that this is Alexa's first match* since getting implants ~3 weeks ago

*She was in the 10-woman on RAW two weeks ago but did nothing.

Nia looks hideous with whatever they're trying to do with her make-up.

Sigh.

Nobody wants to see Bliss getting offense here. You want the crowd in it? Have it be a complete, insane squash. They just don't seem to get it.

As a Bliss fan I'd sooner see her getting some protection if they're going to insist on this auto-rematch stuff. (They really, really should abolish the automatic rematch after a champion loses.)

I'm talking specifically the live crowd. Watching at home, I don't mind seeing Bliss get offense, but it is severely boring the crowd.

I'm just watching this one for the inevitable increase in finisher kickouts.
