Marks of the Mat

My wrestling opinions that nobody cares about but will either use to validate theirs or hate on me

[Marks of the Mat @marksofthemat]

Inspired by @WrestlingHumble , this begins my thread of 5 star matches for 2024! These are matches I have personally loved and enjoyed this year. I haven’t watched every match this year, so if I’m missing one comment below and I will give it a watch!

[WrestleTalk @WrestleTalk_TV]

Dave Meltzer says NXT's Nathan Frazer is at a "different level" from all but WWE's top guys:

"When Nathan Frazer gets in the ring he’s one of those guys where everything he does is just a step faster, a step crisper, you know what I mean? He has that aura.

"You could watch him for 45 seconds and immediately see that he’s just a performer at a real different level from all but the top guys."

(WOR)

@BackupHangman There are at least 5 PLE’s until Mania. Almost every option has been exhausted save for Andrade/Randy Orton. Who does Cody face at each show?

[Marks of the Mat @marksofthemat]

@patricktheheel Happy birthday!

[Marks of the Mat @marksofthemat]

@bronemknows @IAmTheRealATG @Demboyyys any thoughts?

[Marks of the Mat @marksofthemat]

There are (at least) 5 PLE’s until WrestleMania. Smackdown is in very bad shape right now. Who is Cody Rhodes going to face at each show?! They’ve thrown almost every option at him besides Andrade and Randy Orton.

@IAmTheRealATG @roxanne_wwe Rox and Giulia👀

[Marks of the Mat @marksofthemat]

@CooperHoffman_ @patricktheheel Yeah but his number was always planned on being called

[Joe Hendry @joehendry]

SAY HIS NAME AND HE APPEARS

Make it louder than ever 👏 👏

Keep bringing signs, singing my song and saying my name. Thank you

[Nathan Frazer @WWEFrazer]

BITW

[Marks of the Mat @marksofthemat]

@BackupHangman Or they should just put him in the U.S. Title scene and let him cook with Carmelo Hayes, Andrade, AJ Styles, and Montez Ford. Both of his matches against Melo when he was bouncing back and forth were pretty fun.

[Marks of the Mat @marksofthemat]

@prorasslintimes @BackupHangman There’s plenty of room at the top. Those 4 don’t cover the main event scene by themselves

[Marks of the Mat @marksofthemat]

@tbnationboss @BackupHangman You don’t see Oba Femi winning it?

[Marks of the Mat @marksofthemat]

@BackupHangman Wes Lee, Tony D’Angelo, and Charlie Dempsey are guys I would place a tier below as guys with potential to become mid-card title holders. Ethan Page can sneak onto that list too.

On an NXT-level Karmen Petrovic, Lola Vice, and Tavion Heights all have potential to climb

@Raion74_ Come on😭

[Marks of the Mat @marksofthemat]

Deflating ass ending to the PPV😕 #NXTNoMercy

[Marks of the Mat @marksofthemat]

What an INCREDIBLE match between Roxanne Perez and Jaida Parker. And Giulia is finally here. Absolute megastar. #NXTNoMercy #WWENXT

[Marks of the Mat @marksofthemat]

They’re planting the seeds for Trick Willy to let Ethan Page retain oh boy #NXTNoMercy #WWENXT

[Humble Wrestling @WrestlingHumble]

Oba Femi vs Tony D'Angelo. This was that good shit.

[Marks of the Mat @marksofthemat]

@PWBytes Literally greatness

[Marks of the Mat @marksofthemat]

@BackupHangman That was fantastic. Tony D’Angelo is a hooper
