So Bronbreaker and Seth Rollins kicked off W.W.E. Backalash last night and do you know what they did?

0:05.0

They're going to a big old brawl. They're going to a big old fight to begin because they hate each other. Too many times in the past. You've seen a feud with like, man, I can't stand you. The guys, that mad, I can't stand you too. And they get in the ring and they basically dance. Do a little bit of tango. they did not do that here. Also on my friends and welcome to ups and nouns for WW Backlust

0:22.6

2006. I guess if you just want a summary, it's a very enjoyable, nice to watch show, and it had variety. Now, of course, when we do put variety in a wrestling event, some people are going to get mad, and some people are going to be happy. I would say I'm pretty damn joyous. Let's up those doubts. Brun Bramaker definitely made sure to whip Seth Rollins a lot during this and even hit with a Frankensteiner. But when they went to the outside and Braker wanted to do the super spitz, Seth Rollins just booted him right in the face and then yes, they went for another Frankensteiner. Seth Rollins wanted to land on his feet, and he still did it, by the way.

0:54.8

I think sometimes we are spoiled about what we have seen in this world. It was quite the athletic feat, but he was a bit wibbly wobbly too. But doesn't that make more sense? If you were going to be in a fight and somebody called Brom Breaker, who's like a cartoon character, had totally whipped your ass, and you want to believe that wrestling is on the up and up, This actually is the right way to go about it at the same time.

1:13.6

If somebody else is going to do this spot, do I want to see Christmas and somebody landing on their feet perfectly? Yes, I do. It goes back to the intro if we are not getting different stuff in wrestling and every single match is copy and pasted. It's going to be so boring. And there was another part as well when Seth Wollins tried to do that doce-do thing and he just collapsed on the floor, but once again, it made it look like a fight. He also pulled that off with Goodthrift WrestleMania, by the way, so I'm just saying, but I will always take this. I don't want everything to be as smooth as my head, because once again that would be boring. Sometimes I just want it to descend into madness, and I tell you, pretty much everything they did do here, I was locked in. Bron also made sure to smash Seth into the Announce Table, or the best bit is when Seth Rollins was going for his Falcon Arrow combo, but he didn't land the last move because Bronbreaker hit it instead. That got a one-two-oo, and go and listen to this crowd that was on fire this evening. They bought it and they were like, oh, that's Bronbroker, hey? What a lovely to-money. Rawlins eventually got the pedigree and didn't even go for the cover, which made smart because nobody believes in that move anymore. When of course Paul Heyman started casting distraction and look, this was always going to happen.

2:51.5

It is just to finish that WW does too much, but at least there was a twist here, because Seth Rollins knew this was going to happen, so when the vision came to the ring, he smashed them all with chairs, and when he got back in the squared circle after he had run them off, he got a spear, but he kicked out at the one-two-oo, so at least we got something after the distraction. Seth Rodins then decided he should go for a super-stomp, but instead kind of went for a flying nothing. Brom Breaker just wrecked him with a spear. When he hit one more, I think that's right. There were so many spears this matches, I've kind of screwed up my brain, but it essentially was a lot of spears combo. He pins Seth Rollins, and as the commentator said, that is win of Bram Rego's career. So I really did enjoy the fact we had that extra bit at the end,

2:55.2

because yes, WW can fall down into that shenanigans territory. But because this was so good,

2:59.9

and because they got a bunch of time, well, I think everyone is going to benefit to it. And yes,

3:04.2

Seth Rollins can be like, oh, that damn vision they got in the way. And if you are going to be a part of the bad guy group, you probably do need the bad guy group

3:10.6

to get involved.

3:11.4

But that's why you shouldn't do it on every episode of Raw, because it could mean more here. I am still going to give it an up. Bronbreaker is proving he's going to be just fine in the main event scene. And as always, Seth Rollins, he's an underrated gem.

3:23.4

Then in a quick promo with Trick Williams, because he was super mad at Sammy Zane for what he had done on Smackdown. It was time of Trick Williams versus Sammy Zane for the US title. And what I think comparison is the Thief of Joy. If you are going to compare this to their WrestleMania match because they got more time here, well it was a lot easier to get into. Sammy even decided to use Simper the Still Steps at one point because Trigg was

3:43.1

whooping his ass when Little Yottie was like, no, Sammy Zane, I will not let you get involved anymore. And the small boat was so funny in this match. And listen, fair play to him. He doesn't have to get physically involved as a want to. He has a career outside of wrestling. but Sammy's head smacked him a couple of times, including with his Huluva kick against Barry Barricade.

4:00.6

He kind of fell down. too. He has a career outside of wrestling, but Sammy Zane smacked him a couple of times,

3:58.0

including with his Huluca Kiggins Barry Barricade. He kind of fell down like my nan playing bingo. I don't know what that means. It just made me chuckle. At the end of the match, after he had been smashed, little Yohy was up in about five seconds. Again, it's not his fault. It just made me funny. The fans were absolutely on Sammy Zane's ass throughout all of this too,

4:16.0

and he has now just embraced his heelside, because he kept smirking and look at them like, man, I don't even know what I've done here. Maybe you should leave me alone. And after he had used the fact, little Yotty was accidentally causing distraction to smack Trick Williams with that gingerbread man Kendo stick. Well, I mean, that kind of sums it upright. What a ridiculous sentence that is. He also went for the least devastating move in all of sports entertainment, the Blue Thunder Bomb and did it work? Of course it didn't. And yes, at one point he feigned a knee injury. Now, Trick Williams didn't really buy this, but he still let the referee push him away for far too long for my liking. I was like, who would ever believe this? Especially from someone like Samuel Zane. Although my down for this match comes when Sammy Zay was booting him too much or being too aggressive and the referee pulled him away. And I know the trick Williams is in the corner, but I hate that spot. It's stupid. You may as well go, we think you're being too aggressive for a

5:04.8

wrestling match. Some people get mad at me in the comments. I just don't like it. And some things we should do in wrestling, and that's one of them for me. It irks me. Like, now's the chalkboard. That's a down. It was mostly done so little Yo-e could get his revenge, though, and he smacked Sammy's aim with the Kendo stick when Trick Williams hit shot, it's somewhat amazing he only got a one-two-oo. I say this on the quiet, especially when it gets to our main event, but I do think when it comes to PLEs, people are kicking out, finishes way too much. Saying then, make sure to punch the small boat right in the face, and yes, he whacked him with the Kendo stick as well, and this is when I was just going because little-he-he-he, because little yaw, he was just falling down like a bag of pricks.

5:39.3

And really, it was his obsession with this guy that cost him because he destroyed Trick Williams' head into Sim of the Still Steps, but because he had to get the Huluva kick, well, he basically gave Trick Williams time to recover, and he's a young dude, man, he's going to have MP for days. It then was kind of similar to the first match because Zane went for the louver kick with Trick Williams Dodge and hit the Trick Knee for the one, two, three.

5:57.5

But that rhymes her. then he's going to have MP for days. It then was kind of similar to the first match because Zane went for the Huluver kick

5:54.5

with Trick Williams Dodge and hit the Trick Knee for the one, two, three. But that rhymes so it must be true. And really, in terms of a US title match and trying to build Trick Williams, and to remind you, this US title should mean something, well, I thought they did a damn good job. Little Yoi was then celebrating with Trick Williams instantly, because of course he has the power to survive the louver kick.

6:11.5

But really now we should separate these two

6:13.2

and maybe bring them back together for a SummerSlam. But I am going to give it an up. This Trick Williams man, he is going to fly to the moon. When it was time for Goofy Wrestling for Life after this, and I'm so sick of all this chatter on the internet. You're allowed whatever pin you floats your boat. I totally get it. But WW's been doing this for years. It cannot come as a surprise. And now look, yes, I do have one criticism here. W.W.E is just a bit too obsessed with, oh my gosh, mystery partners and secrets. And every time you do that, you are just going to set yourself up for disaster. Because what are the fans do? Oh my gosh, it's going to be The Rock. Oh my gosh.
