Another clip that will be used in memes in perpetuity because LA Knight will keep getting buried by Triple H in perpetuity.

This is the perfect edit though:

LA Knight: " God, I wish I was Eli Drake right now"

Since yall may be still watching it I don’t want to spoil, but had to say something still

Roman put this bozo in his place

Some of this s**t is almost too good to be true. It's like everything we have been saying here for the last how every many months is pretty much completely true. I closed Twitter just because I don't wanna spoil the show and want to see all of this with proper context. But these are some gems that need to be shared with y'all:

Man that’s so hard to watch… knowing how hard he worked.. but that’s not it.

Many people work hard but still don’t end up being the right product that gets the right reaction from the crowd like he did. He got himself over and if this was Vince era he would’ve at least been in a way better position rn

Knowing you did everything right. Made a connection with the audience that 99% of pro wrestlers won’t at this level… but had the misfortune of your career peak colliding with the main pioneer of the business stepping aside so his doofus son in law can step in and bury you due to age or whatever.

Feel like those thoughts are what flashed before Knight’s eyes when kutta told him that fumbduck finish.

Pretty sure if there was any other person who actually understood wrestling was in charge (Dwayne, Cena, Austin etc), they'd see the value in Knight.
Nose is a fraud.

Report says Roman began to reach out to Rock and Nick more often than H.

Yeah Rock has become very corporate and at times shady in the last 2 decades, but he knows the business in a way that nose never could. You see him and you actually see 30+ years of wrestling knowledge. Same with Cena.

Heck, same with every other star who even debuted late 2000s and early 2010s lol. Drew, Cody and Roman all better understand pro wrestling and what’s a good storyline and how to book etc better that kutta.

Never seen someone so awful at something reach the helm at that very thing. Is this why his last name is Helmsley in kayfabe

 

[Suleiman]

This idiot really meant what he said when he said he’s never letting another superstar become bigger than the company ever again.

Which is such a pathetic mindset because if a star is just allowed to grow, and they do become bigger than the company, then they are taking the company WITH THEM on that journey and raising the bar for the rest of the roster even at a developmental level to up their game.

Cena getting big and going to Hollywood meant throughout that entire journey he was putting WWE on the map and bringing in younger fans in droves

Vince wasn’t this insecure about things like this. He understood business.

This is why triple k is so quick to pull the plug on organic baby face turns and when they start getting massive pops… case in point Roman and to a lesser extent LA, even then this ***** only cares about not getting overshadowed instead of being grateful of delivering an a grade product.

Any random wrestler can do a better job that Trips honestly at this point. He only hires his buddies like Road Dogg and others. He was shameless enough of taking all the credit for the work done by Ryan Ward and Regal in NXT. He didn't have any plans for Cody's second reign.
On the other hand, he's totally killed the momentum of Aleisteir Black with nonsensical feud with Rtruth and Priest.
Cena carried the whole 2025.
He'll probably have Sami lose out at Rumble to Drew to build their rematch for 2027 Mania

He really didn’t want to have Drew as champion either

Takes pics with every new champ, didn’t take one with Drew. Just gritted teeth good job on Twitter

If Roman does walk out at the end of the contact, or goes to aew hopefully curtains for this jobber who “married into it” like that guy Javier Bardem played in No Country for Old Men says in the movie. Someone needs to do an ai face swap of that attendant at the gas station with Trips. It would definitely fit. Just imagine the gas station is wwe gorilla. Except he loses the coin toss and gets the

LA Knight: " God, I wish I was Eli Drake right now"

He legitimately hates the guy just because he got over of his own accord & the fans love him, it must be pretty deflating because LA Knight has everything & he keeps taking his ring work to another level. It’s a tough one for him because H would love nothing more than for him to see out the end of his contract.

The look in LA Knight's face just sums it up. It's a look of resignation. Feel bad for him. This guy deserves so much better.

Apparently the video is from after the MITB match and this is the full story:

LA Knight's Embarrassing Botch Left Triple H & Top WWE Star Angry – TJR Wrestling

LA Knight vs. Seth Rollins at Money in the Bank 2025 was supposed to be the highlight of the men's ladder match.

tjrwrestling.net

It's too bad Triple H didn't have the same reaction when Seth Rollins nearly killed Sting, broke Finn Balor's shoulder or injured himself because of a completely brainless move while he was the World Champion!

 

[RedwoodOriginal]

That’s funny because I stopped around the 16 min mark, need a full day to recover before continuing this garbage & we get to the bits I can really fume over.

You are completely right, first 15 min is H’s version of my ‘Sonah Sonah Puthar’ on loop,

But don’t forget, vanity project number 2 is there to in Lyra, she took up 90% of H’s brain power for a good 4 months.

The most interesting part of his life was being tackled by a wrestling fan, I mean, it’s kinda poetic, that ‘fan’ could have been any of us really.

Defo watch the Punk match though

This was such a fantastic match, and such a great reminder of what an asset Finn Balor is. I mean granted, he was among his peeps, but not only was he over like gangbusters, he was also the stand-out performer in this match, which is not something you usually get to say after a CM Punk match.

Btw remember when there were rumors swirling that Finn Balor was going to get a big push in 2025? I think that might have also been one of those 'I'll strap a rocket to ya' type of deals.
