Reacting to PENTA'S WWE DEBUT🥵Takes🥶

[@juansanchez209]

For every banger Penta puts on, Tony Khan adds 2 more months to Fenix's AEW contract

[@deathmauler181]

So Fenix is never showing up lol

[@MlungisiNkosi-pe5gd]

😭😭😭😭😭😂😂😂

[@gethinap]

Mr Burns... sorry, Tony Khan puts up a "Don't Forget You're Here Forever" sign

[@jonathanhicks5814]

If you called that match a banger, you should look at a dictionary

[@TakerKaneanite619]

​@jonathanhicks5814 Can confirm, match wasn't a sausage.

[@bingbangboomxx]

Tribalism aside, Penta's debut is great for wrestling. Wrestling is thriving, something that we could not say a decade ago. Penta going to WWE and Ricochet going to AEW is a great way to freshen up both products. Finn Balor is also a perfect example of someone that could do well outside of WWE because it is a clean break from those stories that are keeping him stuck. Not saying he would go but it is a perfect example of someone having the ability to hit the restart button.

[@chrisseddon5823]

@@bingbangboomxx AEW fans don't realise that whichever way a talent goes, if they get a better spot it's good for everyone. That only works one way in their head.

[@YourBoyMarc12]

Thank you for using my comment! I knew you were predicting John Cena to win the Royal Rumble, but you saying that you’re now specifically rooting for him for me was so awesome! I was surprised about the other Make-A-Wish kid too and that you had your own story in regards to Make-A-Wish. Wow. God bless. 🙏🏻💜

[@JMC1396]

Incredible that you got to meet Cena! Even if he doesn't win the rumble I know they'll have great stories planned for his final year in WWE, so I hope you enjoy it all, it should be very entertaining!

[@Monk0405]

You're the man Marc 👊

[@spartanxmonster]

I saw Cena at a house show. He was put through 12 tables without any cameras. He could have had an easy night, but he risked ending his career just to entertain me. He earned my respect forever that night.

[@joshx022]

Penta was so excited. Mega selling gable...constantly signaling the daughters...was just a kid in a candy store. It came off way better than i expected. Im here for the penta era.

[@BAYBAY_316]

I saw Pentas debut on KZbin. I noticed in the comments that some people didn't know who he was but liked him which is to be expected but I replied to one of those comments and said if you like Penta then wait till you see his brother. You ain't seen nothing yet.

[@strawhatjose]

his promo had me hyped asf, really hope he gets the IC title this year 🙏🏼

[@unstablebrother]

Raw is just so stacked. I want him, Kross and Bronson winning a title. And Gable and American Made

[@strawhatjose]

@@unstablebrother agreed but I can see them sending maybe bronson or gable to smackdown

[@theWynn3]

Dakota always being injured probably played a factor into why she didn’t win. I’m good with Lyra winning it.

[@phonemovieclips1371]

Then why is punk who gets injured from coughing pushed?

[@GM_Sanjit_Ramesh]

I would like to report that during the commercials, there was a promo package that had hogan on it for like 3 seconds on two occasions and he got booed during those 😂

[@blablablaa14]

The thing about Penta that always made him feel special was that he looks so different and wrestles fairly different than other Luchadors. He's not like his brother or Rey. That look alone will be so utilized in WWE and he has the charisma to get people to want to cheer for him

[@kinnikuboneman]

The Make a wish kid story was very wholesome

[@jlyt18]

I think by aggressive style he meant things like limb targetting and aggressive fight focused psychology which is a bit different from the high spot to high spot type of matches more common in aew or aaa This olis probably the most ive ever seen him sell anything in the last couple years lol

[@TheMaytricks]

Crazy to see a Lucha Underground OG from 10 years ago make it big time to WWE (Puma don't count)

[@brennan9785]

Penta looked great in his debut. I'm hoping he gets the big star treatment, definitely has potential to be the next big luchador for WWE marketing wise so fingers crossed he gets a major title win during his first year.

[@megasquidd]

I found it kind of funny that they used the promos for Finn and Priest from like 4 months ago before the match. I was not looking forward to it, but THENNNNNN... they put on a crazy, awesome match. We needed that match months ago.

[@Oregano_Gangster]

God dam Steve, you can say "god dam" all you god dam want man

[@kinnikuboneman]

Yeah whoever said he should stop needs to harden up a bit

[@TheSentry603]

[@thevoicelesswriter]

Nah, their peak was when people thought they were murdering people.

[@juliajaeger8175]

I had never heard of Penta and never saw anything about him so I had no idea what to expect. Man was I absolutely BLOWN AWAY from start to finish by his presence! Penta is a superstar! I can't wait to see more from him! I'm beyond impressed!

[@hamishjarvis]

Yayy Michael Cole called out New Zealand three times Dakota Kai from Auckland , but I knew my kiwi girl was not going to win but so happy for Lyra as she is amazing

[@markadams9335]

Don’t let them tell you not to say god damn GODDAMMIT 🤬

[@StephenAndrewsPTL]

The wholesome ending tho 😭

[@Fieryxjoe]

The thing with Finn is his W-L record really doesn't matter, they can slap his bodypaint on him, bring back the demon, and people will buy him as a main eventer at the drop of a hat. Shinsuke had a gimmick change and people instantly bought him winning a title, Finn's demon character is crazy strong in kayfabe and I'd be shocked if it never comes back, they are just giving it enough time and space for people to forget them ruining the gimmick at the end.

[@blablablaa14]

I don't think Finn is ever getting a push to the main event. Even if the Demon is back, I just don't see the WWE giving the title to 43 year old Finn at this stage of his career. His time sadly is up by now. WWE is all about the new generation of title holders and have so many people they can push. Even Cody is 4 years younger than Finn. Its like AJ. They aren't winning the world title anymore. Not with Cody/Roman/Rock/Punk/Drew/Rollins/Gunther/Cena/Breakker. That covers the next 3-4 years of champs with a few smaller ones in between but not Finn more like LA Knight and Jey Uso and guys who are super over, which will be tough to get Finn to get to

[@kinnikuboneman]

The last time the demon showed up no one cared

[@heatherwright3981]

Steve: have you ever watched a WCCW show? Love the shirt, it takes me back to my childhood! And oh yeah, Penta STILL rules.

[@WrestleJuice]

I've seen one or two while doing the twitch streams looking at territory stuff, love that old stuff!

[@AlexanderKahrs]

I’m still making sense of Michael Cole mentioning Lucha Underground. That’s just wild, ya know?

[@diabeticman2194]

Penta's debut was great to see, Lyra doing three surfboards in a row impressed me, and the Sephiroth 3:16 sign popped me. Bayley getting a Michael Cole Sucks chant from the crowd tickled me

[@MoistHarvester]

That ending was so wholesome :)

[@chucqie]

Im watching his clips now that mexican destroyer was sick ....

[@TechnoBacon]

That shit made me fucking scream dude 😭😭

[@deathbat93rn]

Watch his Lucha Underground stuff if possible

[@curtissimmons2287]

I wonder how Vince McMahon would’ve booked Penta

[@blablablaa14]

That move is rarely used in WWE so it still has that "holy s" effect when you see it happen because it feels like they just killed them

[@Wavebird97]

It wasn't just a beautiful destroyer from Penta, but an amazing sell from Gable.

[@broceratops1337]

I was at the show and we were doing our damnedest to be as loud as LA. hope the crowd was hype on TV as it was to be there

[@CB_Nole]

It was awesome to see how genuinely excited he was. I might've loved the promo after even more than the match

[@ryanwinter1562]

I appreciate the idea that this week's show was shortened to not clash with the NFL 4th quarter, but that Dakota/Lyra match really could've benefitted from 3-5+ more minutes

[@mrwrestlingjr9820]

When Steve was talking about Finn getting a real World Championship run I was very disappointed he didn't lean back and point at the RRRRRRRREEEEEEAL World's Championship like he usually does when saying those words

[@jeannin.wallace2795]

Thanks for using my Take!! Yeah it's just Penta is so much more. HHH, has been putting the luchador wrestlers in a group. And it's been really killing their momentum as the mentality is, "Luchadors can only fued and Pair with fellow luchadors." REY V. PENTA is fantastic. But I don't wanna see Penta go against the entire LWO as a build up for the love of God. Same with Judgemnt day. "Ohh dark character, into the dark faction you go." Penta NEEDS to just stick to being a singles star. Putting him in a faction will KILL his momentum. But book him with credible wrestlers.

[@Khashmonet]

Chad Gable was the perfect first opponent.

[@TheSpektrum1989]

"Half Man, Half Stem Cells" sounds like a rly good shirt idea

[@cdtnplyr]

12:26 that’s absolutely amazing. I love that so much

[@suplexorcist316]

Man I loved the whole thing, he looked great. Fantastic match against the perfect opponent Chad Gable. Shout out to Chad Gable for being so damn good. Loved the promo after aswell! Everything felt like a big deal.

[@BigBossJellySnake]

They gotta have Penta and Kairi Sane mad dog each other backstage 🤣

[@mutedmayday]

WWE has to book these wrestlers like stars to stick it to AEW and they did just that tonight.

[@phonemovieclips1371]

A debut doesnt mean much, consistent follow up is sticking it to wwe.

[@dhysravies4147]

Loved his post much promo he was so happy to be there❤

[@StarLordJuan]

I’ve seen enough, have him dethrone Cody.

[@nolankuffner3573]

All I'll say is.. if this wasn't a majority Latino community like San Jose, he would have debuted to crickets. Guy is mid card at best and needs Fenix to be remotely relevant. World champion? Was a mistake in TNA and it'd be a joke in WWE.

[@nolankuffner3573]

I mean, unless two botches on the same move and a senton that busted Chad open (and probably gave him a concussion, seeing how unsafe Penta is) is world title worthy to you.

[@deathmauler181]

​@@nolankuffner3573L take across the board lol

[@bocceballpro]

​@@nolankuffner3573 He needs Fenix?! 😂😂😂

[@cut442.]

Honestly, have Penta cook up something with Gunther. Gunther did say Penta had him stunned with his chops

[@CrimsonIdol92]

Triple h said during his sports illustrated interview the Saturday before Netflix debut that 2 1/2 hours is a sweet spot for him for time.

[@Grimlock1975]

Penta for the new Lucha House Party lol

[@Notloc07]

Fantastic story to end the video! Very cool! 😎👍🏻

[@jonkingery9395]

His theme reminds me of Killing in the Name by Rage.

[@Brownie314]

AEW wrestlers need to go to WWE? That's where 93% of them came from

[@fshothoughbro]

2:56 dark matches were Bayley v Nia and La knight v shinsuke

[@hexenhammer483]

I think of Netflix Raw as 2:30 hours with a built-in 30minute over run.

[@yourtube1424]

With Penta & Rey having history outside of WWE, I would like Pentas character to angle for a match vs Rey at Wrestlemania but Heel Dom eventually be the person to take that away from him and take him on at mania!

[@DeuceTreyz]

That shit was GASSSSSSSSSSSS.... Fenix is going to be SO OVER when he arrives and joins Penta. I could see him landing one of the mid-card titles @ The Mexico City show

[@Mmgeneral]

If Finn was there just to get ppl over they wouldn’t have given him such a massive contract extension- reported to be a significant increase over his last deal. Really wish online wrestling commentators would consider the business interests/signifiers of wrestling promotions rather than just their gut feelings as fans.

[@beefy45]

TKO is out of control with their ticket pricing. My smackdown ticket last year was $80, this year that same ticket is $225. That is damn near 3x increase in a poor economy. This is outrageous, WWE is a family event

[@seanharker9468]

I want to see Penta interact with Damage CTRL.

[@chrisseddon5823]

Oh shit! The triad!!!

[@phonemovieclips1371]

Intergender wrestling is cringe , why can't you fans get that?

[@MustafaBinAkbar]

Gable is a great wrassler the whole match was awesome!

[@RicoSuavae]

Penta showing up was great Merch was great He looked great But the match with gable was trash maybe because they never worked together before but alot of sloppy spots or maybe it's the new netflix production that's accidentally catching the mistakes

[@TenaciousAC]

If there’s one thing that makes ‘Penta in WWE’ feel limited (or a lesser ceiling)…. It’s that he turns 40 in a few weeks. If they want to go with him on his own, or as a team with Rey Fenix, they need to go NOW. He basically needs the Motor City Machine Guns treatment. Bring him in, build him up, have an IC run, then when Rey Fenix arrives, a tag title run, then Penta can pass the torch to his younger brother and they could do that in a 2 year span.

[@itsjesse___]

It feels like in every multi match feud Finn is in he loses every single match in said feud. Outside of getting 1 over Edge

[@StrangeWill97]

We should start calling this "Taking A Show", "Steaming Takes", or some other poop humor pun on take. Feels like it fits Steve's humor.

[@NORWOODShadow]

A side from that one awkward leg drop thing it was a very good match

[@ms.anthropia]

As a long time Penta fan, I'm so happy. I agree with the LWO comment. Now we gotta have Lucha Bros vs MCMG. Edit: The Wyatts moving feels like a work? But if they really do send them to Smackdown does feel off LOL. You'd think with how cinematic Netflix is, they'd fit there more than in Smackdown. I'm also thinking who they could feud with down there. Nobody comes to mind.

[@blablablaa14]

You gonna need to wait till 2026 for Lucha Bros basically

[@Griffindore619]

[@mabmister]

I try not to fantasy book, but I'd love for the Wyatt Sick6 to come out while Solo is doing his in-ring segment next week. It gets the Bloodline away from Roman and gives the Wyatt Sick6 a legit feud, and if Tonga Loa is able to come back a 4 v 4 at Wrestlemania would be a good match.

I would have never known because Alec Abrentez worked as he's translator ​@@thevoicelesswriter

[@americansmark]

I was skeptical going in. Penta was badass. Probably my favorite match in months. Chad Gable was the perfect person to make him look great on day one. I didn't understand the hand signal and such, but it seems the Hispanic crowd did and that's what matters.

[@buckleupteddy]

Chad and Finn are my guys too after Cody's got his flowers

[@blablablaa14]

No. Drew is 6'4 giant that looks the part. Chad and Finn are small guys that will never get pushed at this point

​@@blablablaa14I dunno man. HHH isn't as bothered about that stuff. He pushed small guys all the time in NXT.

[@XavIsOnline]

​@@blablablaa14 Chad is physically swole as hell with all the credibility in the world. All his size does, when combined with his abilities and general gimmick, is BEG for a classic underdog title story.

[@blablablaa14]

@ That might be your view, but their view is that he is too small for a world title, maybe a mid card title sure, but never a world title

[@blablablaa14]

He said "I didn't understand half of what he said" i.e he doesn't know spanish. I don't think it was meant as disrespectful

[@nolankuffner3573]

​@@100carlosfermin I don't speak Spanish. Don't think that's super disrespectful when the country I live in has English as the #1 most popular language. Literally no one else outside of Nakamura does non-English promos. Hell, it could sound impassioned, but what if half of it was "non Latinos are terrible pieces of shit!" Should I have to learn another language to watch a wrestling show? Nah. And this is in the middle of Cole going into a ton of exposition, trying not to alienate anyone 🤦
