Holy crap, where did that come from?
That felt like gable just totally shifted gears, doing a bunch of cool moves I haven’t seen in the longest time.
Like a random raw match with no build with the former Shorty G suddenly turns into a mini takeover quality match

Man, Gargano didn’t miss a beat as one of the best in the company and Gable is just a fantastic wrestler as well. That “Cliffdiver DDT” was sick!
I’m so freakin’ happy Johnny Wrestling came back to WWE. HHH’s WWE.
Looks like we’ll get Otis next, which should also be a lot of fun. I’ve always had my issues with Otis the character but he’s fun when he’s not going full simple.

I hope Gable gets a push in HHH's WWE.
even if it's just a midcard title... dude's massively talented.

And of course, Johnny sets high standards for himself as a performer:

what's really sad is if dude was like half a foot taller Vince would have pushed him as the next Kurt Angle but instead he's 5'10" so he's "Short"

Match was fantastic, and while Johnny is clearly getting that push, Gable really needs to eventually as well
The dude has a great gimmick, but he has consistently gone out there and shown he's one of the best wrestlers they have, and I get why Vince didn't take advantage of that, but HHH really needs to.

It's still wild he got wasted as Shorty G for so long.

Funny thing is, we talk like this was some schtick he was mired with for a decade… It was only just over a year (October 2018 to October 2019).

Don't like Gargano and hate that Gable is total cartoon character these days but the match itself was great on a technical level.

Them taking out "ready, willing, and Gable" really chopped him at the legs. I felt like that wouldve gotten him extremely over.

That was a 4-4.5 star match. Great to see from both men. I think Gable and Otis each have big upside as singles competitors.

Gable’s legit a freak, man. Add on to that he really sells the character and gets “it” (whatever ‘it’ is). Solid debut for Gargano. I really could watch these two work together multiple times.
