#AskGSM Edition #564: Will Triple H Be Remembered More For His In-Ring Career or Creative Role?9/18/2024  #AskGSM is a weekly Q&A video where I, Graham "GSM" Matthews, answer fan questions from Facebook, Twitter and YouTube in regards to the world of wrestling. Nothing is off limits, and this week's edition touches upon a variety of topics including:

 NXT Champion Ethan Page Attacked Trick Williams During the NXT Championship Contract SigningI honestly didn't even notice that the contract wasn't actually signed, which is why we got this segment again at the end of the night. In that case, why was this segment even necessary? Nonetheless, both men cut good promos and recapped their rivalry nicely. My only real takeaway was that Ava is not a natural when it comes to appearing in front of the crowd. She's definitely improved over the last year, but there are plenty of other people who would be way better in the role she's currently in.
 NWA Exodus Pro Champion Pretty Boy Smooth def. Mims by Count-OutConsidering Smooth was the defending champion, it would've been nice if his entrance aired to at least attempt to indicate he's something of a big deal to NWA viewers. The match was just getting going before the lame count-out finish. I assume they did that to protect Mims (an NWA regular), but then it begs the question of why bother booking the bout in the first place. I couldn't get a grasp of what Smooth can do because this didn't last long enough.
 CM Punk Addressed Drew McIntyreWe've pretty much heard it all from Punk and McIntyre throughout their feud this year, but I appreciated Punk switching up his tone by coming across darker than normal. Yes, some of what he said was a tad dramatic, but then again, they spent the entire summer feuding over a damn bracelet. Despite that, this was strong stuff from Punk. Now it's up to him and McIntyre to live up to the hype when it matters most inside a structure that finally feels special again.
 KENTA def. TJP in an Opera Cup Semifinal MatchSay what you will about TJP, but the bloody face paint he wore here looked awesome. He was a replacement for Davey Boy Smith Jr. in the quarterfinals, so I'm glad KENTA was the one to advance because he's been in the Opera Cup since the beginning. Unsurprisingly, given the level of talent involved, they had the very good match they were capable of and were given an ample amount of time.
