Was talking about after injury time
Before Hepner got up, the ref told the table there was no injury time, it was concussion protocol. I thought there had to be injury time called before concussion protocol but maybe not?

Messenbrink has a habit of behaving like a turd when he can't do what he wants. Shows he has a lot of room to mature as a person.

I thought they had to go to the back for concussion protocol, as well. Though, in that situation, doing it on the mat surely makes sense.

Who are these people who “don’t realize how strong Levi Haines is”??? What a dumb statement.

They initially called injury time. Maybe the injury time resets if it goes into concussion protocol?

Dude is a phenomenal wrestler. There's no doubting that. I just see a repeated tendency since his freshman year, he loses any and all composure in moments of adversity. He lost it in the carr match. He lost it in the burroughs match. He somehow lost it there when he won in a shut out 6 to 0.

Personally I even think he should still be in the hodge conversation despite failing to bonus a wrestler they literally brought a stretcher out for.
