You've been cheating for years, Kev, take the two seconds to ditch the evidence.
For real that finish might've worked under other circumstances but on a four match show directly following another absentee heel champ winning due to a run-in that sucked.

I hate Logan Paul as it is, giving him Dusty finishes just makes my eyes roll in the back of my head like I'm taker
This feud sucks and the fact it's gotta drag out even longer sucks worse.

With more time to think about it, I can't decide if that finish was absolutely brilliant or the single stupidest ending I've seen. I'm a bit more wishy washy on it but it really takes me out of it when other refs have the peripheral vision of a tuna fish while this dude has the vision of a mantis shrimp. It was really jarring.

Figures Kevin gets the one ref that actually notices these things.

I liked the finish if only because for once a referee in wrestling did their damned job.

It's not Owens fault the ref actually decided to look for th first time in history.
eh I think the ending worked fine.
Owens got his revenge on Paul for all the shit he's pulled and Logan gets to keep the US Title, which Owens is already above.

I liked the finish if only because for once a referee in wrestling did their damned job. For me, that's exactly the problem with when they run these finishes; going "This time we break convention and the ref notices" needs to be earned and be a big payoff or something, not just arbitrarily tossed out there as a surprise. If the ref will sometimes magically notice but not usually, it's just inconsistent and sloppy.

Clever ending, I bit on the end because I thought that Owens was winning.
Logan Paul has no right being as good as he is, though. Dude is f***ing awesome at this.

Finish would have been good if it was anyone but Owens, honestly. He's been the cheater in these matches long enough to know how to get away with it.
Also, if Logan's whole gimmick is a titanium-reinforced hand that does more damage (big "I don't think that's how this works" energy), what difference do brass knucks make?

I hate Logan Paul as it is, giving him Dusty finishes just makes my eyes roll in the back of my head like I'm taker This feud sucks and the fact it's gotta drag out even longer sucks worse. I agree, but it somehow succeeded in making me dislike Paul even more, which is a feat unto itself. Especially all the chatter about his social media presence and going viral. I hope when Owens wins in the end he powerbombs Paul so hard it deletes his YouTube channel.

Why would a ref even look at his hand during a pin attempt? You have to keep your eye on the shoulders.

I think if all of this leads to the guys Logan Paul screwed over (Rey and Owens so far, maybe AJ and LA Knight next) giving him comeuppance at Wrestlemania in some sort of multi-man match, it'd be a really good story and an apropos way to end this current run he's on. Paul scams his way through matches, thinks he's untouchable, and then gets the receipt at WM when everyone gangs up on him every chance they get.

This match was confusing. Logan's friend comes out and distracts... Logan...
Then Owens gets angry at Logan after the match, even though it was his own fault he was DQ'd.

It’s different if a guy puts his foot on the rope during a pin; the ref catches the movement with his peripheral vision. But Owens did nothing to draw attention to his hand, which was only halfway facing the ref anyways. Fire this ref. Fire this bum.

Owens fist is right in the refs eyeline while he's looking at the shoulders.
