Storm Trooper would be proud

My first thought. He's going to love these pops.

You guys know me so well.

He's at work ROFL

I put the show on at like 8:10 and missed the first half of my girl IYO's match. Listened to most of the show but watched my girl IYO absolutely kill it. Actually don't mind the booking here as this needs to be the way they get IYO away from Bayley and she turns into the singles super-mega star that she is, leading to a babyface IYO winning the 2024 Royal Rumble and beating Rhea Ripley at Mania.

Iyo definitely makes alot of people come

You damn right.


When I heard Bad Bunny was on before the 6 Man match and the Cody/Brock match i was shocked. Thought they'd have a really difficult time getting the crowd back after the high of a Bad Bunny performance. I think they got close to getting the crowd back but they couldn't get back to that level. It was impossible.

Not saying SR should have lost but it's weird how they want Omos to look like a big threat yet he only beats nameless jobbers and loses all his big matches

 

[Y2Jayne]

@Blaze (you know why )

 

[Y2Jayne]

Carlito

 

[Y2Jayne]

He's still in great shape, is he still wrestling?

That’s what I said lol

First match done and dusted. Crowd was incredible, can only imagine what they're gonna be like for the rest of the card. Makes me happy how crazy over IYO was, bet she was absolutely beaming inside. I know it sounds weird to say, but that felt like a star making performance for IYO. They've not done much right with Damage CTRL throughout their run up until these past few weeks with the tension brewing and inevitable split. Even tonight you saw Dakota looking hesitant as they were coming down the aisle. Great start.

Lmfaooooo I just looked up Backlash 2023 on Wikipedia and this is what someone put for “reception”

 

[Jimmy King]

Great freaking show and awesome crowd, I loved it all.

Iyo vs Bianca and Bad Bunny vs Damian Priest are my favorites from the show but I thought everything delivered. Bunny and Priest is one of the best celebrity matches it’s up there with Johnny Knoxville and Sami from last year, that match had me popping big with all the surprises (especially Carlito).

I loved how hot the crowd was for Iyo in the opener and there were times throughout where I thought Iyo was going to win.

Again, fantastic show. I can’t wait until they go back to Puerto Rico.

I live in Europe so I always watch wrestling at least a day later, when I get to a thread like this I don't feel like going through 50 pages of messages before I start posting.
So apologies for paraphrasing what you said but I'm glad we share the same opinion
