Am I the only one who thinks Kofi forgot how to do his finisher? It looked bad on Raw and horrible on SDL. Doesn't look crisp.

If they're going to keep up the whole "make sports reference" thing in every single IIconic promo, I might have to stop watching them. I'm not American, I don't understand them or care. I watch wrestling to watch wrestling. Not to constantly hear about sports that I couldn't give a crap about. It's such an incredibly cheap, overused, and flat-out lazy tactic. Probably my biggest pet peeve in wrestling.
Also, what happened to Bayley? I'm certain it was supposed to be a 6 woman tag.

Awful booking, inconsistent storytelling, start stop pushes, no clear anything to most of what they do...that's cool. Sports reference...oh my God I cant take it. Lmao. We'll miss you. I guess. Who are you again?

Who are you again? Please actually read a post before you decide to quote it in such an warranted, condescending, sarcasm-laden manner. I said I would consider stopping watching THEM, not the product. If I can't engage with a certain superstar, I simply don't watch them, and skip any clips that feature them. I can't engage with the IIconics while their promos rely solely on sports references. There are far too sports references on the commentary teams, let alone forming the basis of promos. Think before you post.

Then I'd suggest just ignoring their segments, I personally think the IIconics are great,

But the material they're being given is not.

see the story of that match ending is about Kofi, not about Sami's finisher. it doesnt really do anything negative to the finisher, its just terrible storytelling. finishing moves should be the bottom line end all be all for everyone. it used to be that way, when Hogan hit the legdrop you knew it was over but it didn't matter, the story was GETTING to the leg drop now the story is "how many finishers can this guy kick out of because the audience pops mega hard for every near fall" its extra stupid, because literally nobody has strong finishers anymore except the RKO for some reason. Man, you would've hated Gargano vs Cole at the last Takeover.

Man, you would've hated Gargano vs Cole at the last Takeover. actually no i loved that match a lot. because it made sense, i understood WHY there were 57 finisher kick outs. the build up of Gargano and the fact he wanted the title so bad he wasn't going to give up. looking back it was a bit much having him survive like 10 finishers plus interference and more, but it didnt matter because the story of the match was there and the crowd wanted him to win that bad, im talking about the company as a whole has changed every match style to "near falls" on finishers because it pops the crowd so nobody really even has a strong finishing move anymore. and everyone was bitching about Kofi kicking out of 3 BTB's like it was something that doesnt happen regularly

The Blue Thunder Bomb is not a finisher. I don’t think Sami ever finished anyone with it. Thank you. I was gonna say it, but you beat me to the punch. It should be Sami's finisher, but as you said, he's never actually won with it.

He uses it all the time and gets a 2 count all the time, but never a win with it.

Same as how Corbin has won with Deep Six or Kofi with SOS even though they’re not their finishers.

I don’t know if you watched any wrestling in the build up to WrestleMania, but Kofi’s whole thing is that he’s been in WWE 11 years working towards this run and now he’s finally getting his shot at the big one he’s not letting anyone take it away from him.
