Good Dynamite I thought tbh - not feeling the new themes for Kyle and Okada though.

I'm intrigued by the Mox performance. :lupe:

Not seen him wrestle like that before, he's selling something and I guess it'll be whatever writes him out for a while, but it felt like he was.... gunshy? Obviously he's mad about the loss and he still hates Hangman's guts, but he wasn't running into the line of fire like he usually does, tagging out quickly and only getting involved when it was safe to... has tapping out to save his own life changed something? Is he scared of getting hurt?

Maybe he was just tired and I'm reading too much, but it felt like the foundation of something. Marina, Claudio and Yuta are all ten toes down still.

The whole time he’s never really wanted to get his hands dirty since he took his first L in that Trios title match. Getting choked out broke the veil of his self-perceived invincibility and his had his guard up ever since.

There’s a reason why he kept trying to talk Hangman out of the match and then out of the Texas Desth stip.

When a cult leader starts to show weakness and vulnerability, it’s when the wheels get set in motion for it all to start coming down, normally both internally and externally. They start not paying attention to the details and make mistakes out of short-sighted desperation to try to return to the way it was, but when the cat is out of the bag, the cat ain’t going back in. Either the leader goes down or he takes down all his followers with him (see Jim Jones and Jonestown)
