Lol dude montez spits hit flaming deadly fire on the mic better than anyone on those teams!!!

Did you see his crazy high flying moves!?! He can go in the ring too!!!! Let's geeeeeet it!!!

They didn't get the allotted time as the ladder match. But montez Ford and Garza could of put on a show.

Did you see the show about Womens  wrestling? It was called Glitter or something like that. This southern belle girl reminds me of the miss America stereotype from that show.

Not sure about Sasha.  They may be setting up a four horsewomen vs four horsewomen feud.  Rumor is Ronda is coming back soon.

Hope so! Sasha is more than overdue for her mania moment.

GLOW (Georgeous Ladies of Wrestling).  It was an actual show in the late 80s.  Watch the Netflix series.  It's pretty solid.

Yes that’s the show I was talking about. Seeing a lot of the same archetypes here lol.

To a point.  Lacey was actually in the military though.  I think they should drop "The Sassy Southern Belle" thing and just make her a legit military ass-kicker who is also a mom.  Would be an amazing role model based on real life.

Watch some old episodes of the real GLOW first on YouTube.  Need to ground yourself in the history before watching the dramatic series.  It will help make more sense of things.

Agreed, sometimes I think they revert back to their ass-backwards stereotypes. Makes her seem more like a Brittany Spears dits type.

[Zeek 16,650]

So I know no one else cares but as a former college wrestler I’d love to see some better pinning combinations. It’s a part of the history but the “pick up one leg and lean” is just a completely goofy looking attempt at keeping someone flag on their back. Maybe if you’re both absolutely gassed...

[Zeek 16,650]

Evans is gorgeous tho 

[Zeek 16,650]

Bayley retaining seems like the worst possible outcome there...

I've already rewatched the Firefly Funhouse Match.  There were soooo many meta jokes and references for the hard-core fans.

It was fun! I haven't watched a Mania in a hot minute but I enjoyed this one and interacting with other fans on Twitter and with you guys. May have to start tuning in to RAW and Smack Down again.
