Ricochet has defended \u201cfinisher spam\u201d<\/em><\/strong> after WWE Hall of Famer Booker T and Brad Gilmore criticized using excessive finishers in modern wrestling.<\/p>\n

Ricochet joked about Dragon Ball Z and argued that multiple finishers can add suspense, since fans in some promotions wait for that one move to finish matches, while varied finishes keep them guessing. He tweeted,<\/p>\n

\u201cSay you\u2019ve never watched DragonBall Z without saying you\u2019ve never watched DragonBall Z. \ud83d\udc51\u201d<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

\u201cI disagree. It gives more suspense. Because in other promotions we KNOW the match isnt gonna end until someone hits their ONLY move that ends the match. So everyone seems to be just sitting and waiting until that one move, knowing the match isn\u2019 t gonna end until that happens.\u201d<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

Thekla has doubled down on her harsh comments about STARDOM after defiling its logo on AEW Dynamite.<\/p>\n

During a recent appearance on Highspots\u2019 Virtual Gimmick Table<\/a>,<\/em> Thekla clarified that while she heard AEW is perhaps apologizing to STARDOM, she doesn’t regret her words and is able to fight anyone who talks back.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The AEW Women\u2019s World Champion said,<\/p>\n

\u201cWell, I mean, they\u2019re all dumb ******* obviously, and I feel I\u2019m biting the hand that used to feed me also. But at the identical time, it\u2019s like, yeah, yeah, **** that. They know. I\u2019ve told it straight to their face that I don\u2019t like a variety of the **** they achieve this, Taro Okada, he\u2019s still gonna get his beating sooner or ******* later. Probably sooner since we\u2019ve got Forbidden Door coming up\u2026 This time, I can have ****** it up a bit bit because all of Japan is tweeting about me. I just checked out a message and I saw that AEW is perhaps apologizing to STARDOM for the things I done did but, **** em. I\u2019m gonna go over there and kick each person\u2019s ass who dares to speak **** back at me\u2026\u201d<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
