NIGHT ONE THE GOOD Jey vs Gunther Good opener, had much more of an old school NWA match kind of feel to me. Which was a good thing. The big knock on Jey Uso's ring work is that he spams a handful of moves all the time. This match moving like it did pretty much … Continue reading WrestleMania 41 Thoughts
The Tired Road to WrestleMania

Roman Reigns and Gunther
A tale of two champions So here I am, riled up again by something I saw on Twitter. This time it's the idea that Intercontinental Champion Gunther is having the right kind of title reign while Undisputed Champion Roman Reigns is not. That's nonsense.
