You know I thought I heard JR say WWE champion, but thought I misheard.

Moved the posts to the Kenny Omega thread.

Cornette said Riho vs Deeb was the best wrestling match of the night, including over FTR.

Cornette said a lot more than that. He said that it looked like a model Serena Deeb training match where she walked Riho through everything. His view on Riho is that she doesn't look like a wrestler, but a cheerleader doing wrestling moves, which demeans the art of wrestling by making it look like anyone can do it.

Still the best match of the night.

Already saw it but it sounded like he orginally skipped and Brian asked him to watch it.

I mean I agree with lots of what he says about Riho's presentation. I just chalk it up to me being old and not super into Japanese culture (and finding lots of it quite creepy) so it doesn't appeal to me, just like much of Kenny Omega's schtick.

It's as high praise as it will get for a Japanese born wrestler from Corny I think if Riho was bigger, he'd be more into her as a talent but I do agree that it isn't believable that she can hurt someone who is bigger than her. Same reason it is tough for me to be afraid of little miss bliss/fiend Alexa, I just don't believe it. 

It's tough seeing Kacy and Kayden do what they're doing especially on say Raquel Gonzalez but they go all out with the acrobats that I can see the appeal, without that, I would find them tough to watch but there's certain fun to be had watching them.

I think the key difference why people don't have as big of problems with them is how they are presented. Kacy loses more often then not so she is a underdog who sometimes pulls off an upset. This is how you do an under sided babyface. Alexa finds most of her success as a heel. She beats her opponent because she cheats or make her opponent feel bad for her(like the double jointed arm thing). Riho was nearly undefeated before she left beating people two-three times her size clean. She completely killed Britt and Nyla with booking like that.
