This journalist really did his homework on Rhea and Dom that impressed even us hardcore fans of these 2. From Rhea's beginnings right down to knowing Dominik's schedules the last week and number of matches. I love in these interviews where wrestlers go in and out of character where they speak as the character as well as the real people. And like everyone here is saying, Rhea and Dom have a natural chemistry that's obvious. They damn near break the internet everytime there's a Rhea and Dom moment. Rhea said in an interview like this not too long ago that they haven't even scratched the surface of their storyline. Rhea and Dom is really on its way to being one of the best duos in WWE history.

This cant be stated strong enough. Too many times interviewers treat it as a joke and make themselves looking silly. This guy was knowledgeable and didn't try to demean them like so many other interviewers do.

@thomasjones4570 4 ай бұрын

What? The guy acted as if Rhea was the FIRST female to actually wrestle and get wrestling time...he literally said Trish Stratus was just a deva while conveniently leaving out the names of the likes of Rousey and Jax, who fought their asses off in the ring just in the last 10 years. There was zero need to act as if Rhea is breaking new ground for women. You dont need to trash everyone that came before her to prop up what she is doing. She is at the top and earned it and that stands on its own.

And again, he said she was the FIRST. It was wrong, stop making excuses, it is not a slight on Ripley, its on the journalist.

They didn't yell, didn't have attitudes, Dom handled the Harley Reid question in a subtle heel manner but maintained a very appropriate professional demeanor. They proved to be outstanding representatives of an industry that some try to put down. To Dom's parents, you should be very proud of the son you raised. To Rhea, I hope Australia turns out in record numbers to cheer you to tears!

I know Rhea is in a relationship, but the look of love she gives to Dom while he tells his story is the one of a proud big sister or mom. The love she has for him is not fake. ----- Rhea and seeing that Royal Rumble spot brought me back to wrestling after being away for almost 20 years.

@bjbawesome 5 ай бұрын

She's really giddy around him. It's kinda flirty so I wouldn't say mom or sister. They're just close friends as they both say, but I definitely notice how much more smiley and beaming she is around Dom as opposed to Damian and Finn, who I'd say she definitely has more of a brother/sister vibe towards.

@14yeartwitch14 5 ай бұрын

This is the first time I'm going to say this, hell, let alone think this.... how can you watch this and not like, admire and respect Dominik? Never thought I'd admit something like that. From his debut, I thought it was a lost cause, like Vince persuaded a kid that he'd be great and at this than he really was, just because the history was there and storylines could be utilized to make money. He came out wearing the chest protector, which I was critical of. If you're going to make even the money that the unknown house show rookie is going to make, you better be willing to take a chop the same as all the other talent. It could have all been part of the gimmick and I just became a mark, but they hardly ever put that pc in the narrative. I just thought the kid didn't like taking bumps, didn't like pain, yet he was being pushed through because of who he was, well beyond his limits and abilities. But my mind has been changed through the recent matches he's had (still needs a lot of work) but he's got the humbleness and humility that it takes to have a good long career.

@annakuch9108 4 ай бұрын

I love his storyline and i cant wait for when people finally openly love him. He has done sm for the audience! If you go back and check he has been through soso much from fellow stars as they beat him up when he comes to the aid of the other JD members. He has put his body through so much already for the show and he is also charismatic and has a great storyline. It's time for people to appreciate him more

So many mates of mine laugh that I love it but then say to me “ you know it’s staged right?” I tell them that it only takes a split second timing issue and these wrestlers could get seriously injured. Half the falls they take and the hits they get we would not handle in regular joe world. All credit to them because in some matches they go through hell with what they put their body through. 👍
