    “MORE THAN HALF THE VIDEO IS BLUR WTFF” trust me… i know theres a lot of blur. This tends to happen to some of my videos, WWE copyright blocks them and unless I blur it, the video is unable to be seen on the site at all. Im in the process of switching up the editing process so this doesn’t happen as often, but when it does theres really not much I can do. Hopefully you enjoyed the video regardless and just be sure to subscribe with notis on so you can watch the vids before WWE claims them :)

    Just like Cody Rhodes and Drew McIntyre. Matt Cardona made his name even bigger on Indy’s and other big promotions like AEW, Impact, NWA, MLW, GCW etc. When Matt Cardona eventually returns to WWE he will definitely become a top star and WWE Champion because he’s Alwayz Ready!

      It's just so stupid. If it's clear a bunch of fans love someone give them a push. Just give the people what they want. It's guaranteed to keep fans invested which means it's good for business. As a businessman, I don't know why you wouldn't want that. If Vince had been more business minded then he could've capitalized off of a popular wrestler with an ever growing social media presence. WWE really dropped the ball with that one. Could've had him doing commercials and everything like they do now with L.A. Knight and Bianca Belair.

    What’s worse about Matt dropping the IC the night after WM, is that they missed out on a Ryder vs Miz feud. That would’ve been such a great story and we could’ve seen a different side to Ryder’s character by instead of just moving on, he goes “No. Not this time.” he targets Miz and goes on a revenge mission to get back what he rightfully earned. No longer being the doormat, he’ll be the avenging face.

    Being on the big show and it’s obvious when they actually get in their with Indy guys. You can tell they’re playing chess when everyone else is playing checkers.
