Probably the coolest move in NXT right now. -- (link) - Tim Jun 9, 17:31 22

- Wes Lee, you are the new Ricochet -- nm - Tim Jun 9, 18:41
- I get that TKO owns the building but this place feels smaller than the Performance Center. -- nm - Tim Jun 9, 17:43
- Like Swerve's, it's a little contrived, but it looks great. And the name is killer. -- nm - David Jun 9, 17:36 5
  - Those two seemed pretty fluid. It’s the sit and wait moves that are insanely contrived - Will Hunting Jun 9, 18:40 4
    - From what I've seen, she can't talk, and this one's even worse. That's my lingering criticism of the new NXT. They don't understand why... - David Jun 9, 18:52 3
      - Tiffany can talk and her character is solid. Ricochet can’t and they don’t give mouthpieces for men other than Heyman - Will Hunting Jun 9, 19:00 2
        
        MVP would like a word. -- nm - Qale Jun 9, 20:39
        
        If she can, she's hidden it brilliantly for years. - David Jun 9, 19:04
- so like, why is there a ladder in the middle of the ring? is it special ladder match, or do they have to contrive a weird reason every time? -- nm - mafic Jun 9, 17:36 12

    - what, pray tell, is a ladder match? I thought I was being flippant, I didn’t expect it to be real. -- nm - mafic Jun 9, 17:38 9

        Razor Ramon/HBK was the first one and I would imagine it still holds up despite being 30 years old now (wtf) -- nm - Tim Jun 9, 17:45
      - Whoever climbs to the top of the ladder and grabs the item from the ceiling wins! - Remlik Jun 9, 17:40

        if wrestling was unscripted I would seriously question their commitment to health and safety protocols. - mafic Jun 9, 17:45 1
        
        Even scripted, no one in them likes these matches. Those ladders hurt like hell with the stunts they pull. - Will Hunting Jun 9, 18:47
      - Do you really need to ask that when you just saw a ladder in the middle of the ring? -- nm - David Jun 9, 17:38 2
        
        Yes. It would be weird for wrestling to have arbitrary props. -- nm - mafic Jun 9, 17:43 1

personally, I don’t think Caitlin Clark should lose a minute of sleep over the Olympics but this also means her (presumable) debut will be LA 2028 -- (link) - hollywood big shot Jun 9, 15:18 22
