This is my first time seeing Nia Jax and boy is she rough...

[–] GoodandPlenty@lemmy.world 2 points 10 months ago (1 children)

I think they try to sell it as “part work part shoot” with her but it’s pretty obvious that she’s just not that good in the ring. On the other hand, having Jade debut by taking her out was a good call.

Yeah, if there's one thing Nia does well it's get heat. The crowd hated her.

And agree about Jade. Smart move to start her off strong.

She’s also willing to get as good as she gives. I couldn’t find a clip of the whole match without the Cornette commentary, so if you’re not a fan of the guy, I apologize in advance. That being said, if tonight was your first look at Jax, I present to you this total debacle of work/shoot/work/work/shoot/shoot and hope you enjoy…

That was ugly lol. The opposite of Danielson vs. ZSJ to me haha.

And funny enough, that whole thing lasted as long as the four entrances for the four-way. The video ended just as Samantha started doing the intro's.

Imagine if Undertaker had been in the match? He’d still be walking to the ring right now!🤣🤣

lmao not if it was the American Badass version!

The motorcycle would run out of gas halfway to the ring.🤣
