2020-01-30 22:38:02 +0000 UTC View PostA neat note that I'll put in here for subscribers ahead of the Moxley interview dropping: I asked him why he changed his finisher from the headlock driver to a DDT. His answer? Randy Orton was too tall and Moxley didnt like doing the former to him
2020-01-30 20:25:08 +0000 UTC View PostI have a little bit of a unique perspective on the AEW Dark spoiler from tonight that saw Melanie Cruise and Luther of the Nightmare Collective turning on Awesome Kong.
