They really don't seem anymore dangerous to me than moves a lot of other people use regularly. I mean Seth's hurt multiple people and he hasn't changed up his moveset like at all lmao

He rarely uses his buckle bomb now, actually.

The first one was because Finn turned and hit his shoulder and Sting was 56, but that's besides the point.

If you look at that move, she was twists in a way she moves their head towards the mat but has no control to protect her opponent.

I never liked that move.

Dango is like how do I get a camera to watch me for a year. I need to get back on TV.

Heyman helping Bliss with her talk show.

 

[Kross Rhodes]

I love how much Vince encourages Bliss to be herself.

But once again, Alexa is the only one she's hurt so I don't think that's fair when she'd do it almost every match and caused no other injuries. I'm not saying it's not dangerous bc obviously it did cause Alexa's injuries, but I just don't think it's fair to say that you can't do a judo throw because one person got injured. You could probably argue that Alexa didn't turn over enough in it and that's why she landed on her head bc no one else had a problem...I wouldn't make that argument bc I don't think it's true but I bet someone could make it and seem believable lol It's probably just bc Alexa is so much shorter so maybe Ronda just shouldn't have been doing it on her

It's entirely possible Alexa didn't turn over enough, but the potential is always there. Like I said I called it the very first time she ever hit the move. Maybe it's also because she's too small. I don't know. But as far as she should they ban it. Wile Seth as hit far more safe buckle bombs, but WWE was like tone that shit down and he did. Now he busts one out only with people he knows can take it and people that I assume are willing to. So maybe if Ronda comes back, just do it sparingly. That's all I got to say on it.

Baby Bliss shoulda won the rumble, dammit.

Shit my phone didn't tell me about this so I didn't even know y'all was here talking.

I quoted you in the PPV thread.

Yeah that's what I meant, for some reason tapatalk is hit or miss on telling me stuff.

 

[Vegeta]

After watching this so far, it makes me just love her even more. Like she went through so much in such a short time.

I really really hope she gets her match with Trish some how at some point. You can tell she really wanted that match so bad.

I feel like you get a little obsessed with the things you "call" sometimes and being right about them lol but I can't say you're wrong here since it def did cause two injuries to Alexa. But I also didn't think Seth needed to tone down the Buckle Bomb either bc of the reasons you said for why those injuries were caused, so I think that was the wrong call by WWE in that case (though it didn't really bug me either), so I'd say not being jumpy to ban Ronda's throw despite injuring one person was also the right call, but if they were to make her tone it down then I also wouldn't have complained bc I'm all for more safety when there's plenty of other moves to do in the ring that'll have the same entertainment factor.

 

[Kross Rhodes]

I'm so glad to hear WWE has treated her so well and didn't fuck around with her health.

They been legit with treating wrestlers better since like 2010 or so, even past wrestlers with sponsoring rehab and shit

I called the brand split ending, too.

I agree on the buckle Bomb. He's hit thousands of them on the indies I would presume with no injuries.

WWE gotta be prudent with all them lawsuits now I guess.
