Polarizing thoughts on Sol vs. Kelani | NXT Heatwave | Wrestling Observer Radio 

You guys are right.... the lack of forced Power Ranger poses really holds it back from being a proper grappling exhibition.

There’s no awareness at all with these two

The lack of awareness here is astonishing

Alvarez calling this gymnastics is really ironic

"A gymnastic display disguised as a wrestling match" - Dave and Bryan "Will Ospreay is the best wrestler in the world" - Dave and Bryan

If PWG put on that exact same match with two rookies from the indies who both have about 2 years of experience and less than 75 matches under their belt, they would be predicting extreme heights for both wrestlers. These two are so unbelievably lame

The irony is thick on this one.

"A gymnastics display disguised as a wrestling match." Guess y'all didn't like it cause Tony didn't book it.

Dave just described every Young Bucks match I've ever seen.

Bryan saying this was just a gymnastics display whilst also saying Ospreay vs Swerve is MotY is displaying a stunning lack of self awareness.

The issue isn't that this match was good or bad. The issue is that Jordan/Ruca would have gotten 5 3/4 stars simply if it had been in AEW.

"This was a gymnastics display disguised as a wrestling match" So itll get 5 stars like Ospreay Ricochet or most Bucks matches

Level of self awareness is amazing

I mean they told us in every video package of these two that they have this gymnastics background so you'd expect it in the match, you don't promote that and then have a wrist hold and technical match lol

The audacity the absolute audacity to criticize these woman for what the young bucks have been doing for YEARS.

Nothing polarising, so stop trying to push that narrative on your audience. They had a good match for their lack of experience, especially one who recently returned from a lengthy injury. They’re still rough around the edge, but they clearly show a lot of potential

Ricochet literally reposted a clip fo this match on X tagging Osprey...

Yes to gymnastics in wrestling as long as it’s a bunch of male nerds and not awesome women. Yall have seen a young bucks match before right?

Bryan “There’s a lot more to wrestling than cool moves.” Dave “No doubt.” That exchange is something else coming from you two.

Like everyone else here has said, the lack of self-awareness here i astounding. But beyond that, this match highlights another level of hypocrisy with diehard marks beyond just that. Check it... What do they all bitch about with the WWE PC? That they hire athletes from other sports and that none of these guys came through the indies or worked their way up, right? none of them "love the business" and they're just "pretending to be a wrestler". But who are all the wrestlers they have unending reservoirs of love for? All the guys who are meant to be pro wrestlers but act like they want to be gymnasts! They shit on the international level gymnasts "trying to be wrestlers" that do the "cool moves" beautifully, and then can't stop praising the pro wrestlers TRYING TO BE GYMNASTS and pulling off the "cool moves' to wildly varying degrees of success. Kinda fucking weird...

This is the best version of an AEW match done by two WWE women.

If only these 2 did superhero poses and had taken place in another company, then it would have been given 5.5 stars

NXT does it, it's not a wrestling match. AEW does it, they get seven stars.

You got to be fucking kidding me? These two have no shame.

I think the funniest thing here is a post on Twitter showed they took the choreography of Ospreay and Ricochet's match 1 to 1. The hypocrisy is astounding

“Exhibition” “Display of Cool Moves” The same exact thing AEW does every match & gets “This is Awesome” chants.

The Observer numbers are getting smaller day by day, keep eroding that reputation with videos like this and hiking those prices guys!

insane…if this was AEW then Dave would be eating it up. Yes, these were rookies (outsiders) to pro-wrestling asked to do things beyond their understanding but the positives greatly outweighed the negatives and this match should be viewed as a great achievement

This video cannot be real, when we don't ever hear a peep about the gymnastics on a weekly basis on Aew, I'm speechless. 😮

Well Dave should have loved this match since all the matches he loves are gymnastic displays by his favorites like Ospreay and the Young Bucks among damn near everyone else in AEW

“If your into cool moves” 😂😂😂 and wow they criticizing kelani didn’t hear sol name mentioned but I understand

Someone please send this to Cornette or Brian Last. I have to hear them play this on the show

You mean like every Ospreay match, every Bucks match or every Kenny match?

Choreographed gymnastics in AEW: So great! Choreographed gymnastics in NXT: NoT a WreSTLiNG MatCh! The lack of self awareness and hypocrisy is insane.

Just imagine this was Mercedes and Britt baker. 11 stars

Oh my god the irony Dave

Ricochet tweets & comparing it to himself vs Ospreay, is hilarious.

Uncle Dave gave ricochet vs Osprey almost 5 stars. So this will be a test to show his biases

Are these the same guys who praise Ospreay?!😅😂

It always cracks me up when Bryan thinks Dave is finished talking and he gets ready to speak, then Dave just keeps talking anyway.

I’m sorry, how many young bucks matches have 4+ stars according to this publication?

If Sol Ruca can develop her character work, she's already exceptionally athletic and exceptionally beautiful, she can really be a player if she stays healthy.

Summoning ALL the flutes 🪈

It was literally like that match between Ricochet, and Ospreay in the best of the super juniors in 2015/2016 I think. The one that got covered by like every wrestler RU-vid, and Dave fucking loved it. WWE does it. “It doesn’t work for me brother.”

He just Describe almost every will osprey match

If it was ospreay and Rick o Shea these clowns would be saying it was greatest match ever outside of the tokyo done

"Gymnastics display disguised as a wrestling match" every single bucks match but you've never said it

Hypocrites it’s the same match that Ricochet and Will osprey, even Ricochet tweeted that.

The misogyny level of this video is off the charts. They've never said anything like this about any women's or men's Match in AEW. The insults being disguised here as criticism is disgusting, and now there are AEW die hards parroting these misogynistic, hypocritical views causing these people to insult the wrestlers and berate them online. This is exactly what Dave has accused Jim Cornette of doing for years. Bryan and Dave should be ashamed of themselves.

So the two girls put on, basically the best match that AEW has ever done. But because it's NXT and not AEW uncle Dave and Brian dislike it.

The commentary between these two here needs to be remembered for as long as AEW exists. Just wow.

This is Dave’s “We beat Medicare” moment.

AEW doing gymnastics and exhibitions: 6.5 Stars, excellent performances NXT doing the same thing: 😡😡🤬

So this was a gymnastics match? Like every Will Ospreay match ever?

I’m glad you guys are getting clowned for this. The lack of self-awareness is as frightening as it is astonishing.

I bet ol marble mouth Meltzer and Lyin' Alvarez would give it 7 ⭐, if it were in the Tokyo dome. Ha.

Match was awesome... when they review AEW they say its a 5 star because they done crazy moves.. now they dont like moves

The double standard here is equal parts astounding and hilarious. If this match occurred on Wednesday night, these two goofs would be freaking out about how great it was.

“If you are into cool moves” “There’s a lot more to wrestling than cool moves” This level of irony here is just top tier. This is the EXACT style of wrestling these two have been wanking to for years now. The only difference is this wasn’t Kenny, will, or the bucks and it wasn’t in Tokyo.

If this was a Joshi match at Korakuen Hall, Meltzer, Alvarez, and the rest of the AEW Neckbeard contingent would be splooging in their pants and saying match of the year!! 5 stars!! Btw these women are way more athletic than most of the Joshi girls, bar a few Joshi.

"A gymnastics display disguised as a wrestling match" sounds like every Will Ospreay match I've ever watched.

You two HAVE to be fucking with everyone, right?? This is the type of shit that's on EVERY Wednesday night that the two of you praise. This is the exact shit that Ospreay and Ricochet did however many years back. I'm dumbfounded.

They're fucking with people, right? 😆

So it’s osprey vs fenix right

Yes btw you're allowed to not like this type of wrestling however if this was in aew or njpw meltzer and Alvarez would give it 5 stars that why people are mad

"A gymnastics display disguised as a wrestling match." what a spit in the face of high flyers

Literally just like osprey matches. The double standards and hypocrisy here is off the charts. Sad.

I don't know what is more laughable? The hypocrisy or the sheer lack of awareness that you're shitting all over a match that guy like Osprey and the Bucks do every week to rapturous applause from the pair of you. I suppose if this was in the Tokyo Dome it would be 7 stars.

These comments will be saved for posterity for a future Will vs Ricochet match

“A gymnastics display disguised as a wrestling match.” You’re….you’re fucking kidding me, right?

Man, AEW has been the ultimate monkey paw for Dave - He finally got a National promotion booked entirely around the type of wrestling he likes but at the cost of becoming a laughing stock for being a shameless hypocrite.

The negative credibility these 2 have is somehow, amazingly getting more negative lmaooo

The jigs up Dave, how much is Tony paying you? Honestly? This proves to me he's on the payroll, he's ready to explode for anything Ospreay, but THIS is 'gymnastics ' to him? 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

my thought on the match is that it would be great in like 8 years when they have more experience and better timing because they were pulling off stuff that reminded me of the old Osprey VS Ricochet matches but with so little experience it never felt like they were doing it naturally or trying to actually fight one another. do this same match again when they are both more fluid and natural and it could actually be one of the most impressive woman’s matches we have ever seen.

This sounds like Cornette reviewing any Dave 5+ star match 😂

This is embarrassing. It’s never a problem when it’s will ospreay?

You can find these sequences in every match these two love, just incredible from these two.

Lol! Ospreay and Richochet did the same type of match in Japan that you two loved, you two goofs!

The fucking irony. These two are… Ha. Yeah.

You know we can hear you right?

this didn't hit the way you boys thought it would lmao

All I know is That NXT HBK need to steal Powerhouses Hobbs and Wardlord. Those two monsters would definitely be stars on the NXT brand.

Can’t wait to hear Corny react to this 😂

That’s what Will Osprey and Ricochet do haha 😂 Infact, AEW has so many matches like that haha 😂 Infact, AEW talent does hundred near falls in a match so that it appears good but these gents never say a word, instead they call it a 7-star match because someone is always flying

Who comes here for the comment section?

Almost like we were watching aew right Dave 😂😂😂 was exactly like that ricochet and ospreay

Why can't a match be like this. These are two supreme athletes who are learning to wrestle that are going to be the future of wrestling. I thought it was impressive. I n two years you will look back and be stunned at your ignorance

Say you're an AEW employee without saying you're an AEW employee

I bet Dave's gonna praise this match to the heavens and give this 6 stars when this gon be held at the Tokyo Dome

Nah nah, praise ot the same way you praise Ospreay vs Ricochet

3:45 these idiots both just said they've enjoyed EVERY Kelani Jordan match more than this one? Just take em off air, their opinions are toast. This was her top match.

Theyre not being serious right? 😂😂😂

Yeah ima dislike this one because if you think all matches on aew are wrestling matches you’re delusional

NXT Gymnastics match 🤬🤬🤬 AEW gymnastics Match 😍😍😍 That's Dave and Bryan for you.. 😂😂

They are gymnasts! This was the match they were suppose to have. It makes sense for their background. Can someone make sense of Nick Jackson having the strength of Brock Lesner with the arms of Adam Cole? The Bucks do choreographed gymnastics every match and y’all love it.

The lack of self awareness here is earnestly confounding.

Can't take this people serious

Fed bad, Dub good

This sounds like Cornette reviewing an Osprey Omega match.

When its Will ospreay or Aew its the greatest match
