Leatherface is AEW canon now.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 2 years ago

He needs to team up with Abadon

[–] [email protected] 5 points 2 years ago (2 children)

MJF as a baby face is such a mindfuck. Everything about him screams asshole

😂😂😂😂 This gives new meaning to MJF throwing his childish tantrums and how he actually behaves around TK.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 2 years ago

The MJF/Adam Cole skits remind me so much of Dark Order i love it

[–] [email protected] 5 points 2 years ago

Lol TK has to be a memer. He heard your complaints about too many belts so he threw on another belt

[–] [email protected] 4 points 2 years ago (1 children)

So both of these matches getting like 10 minutes.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 2 years ago (1 children)

lol I was thinking the same thing.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Lol and somehow we get an Acclaimed squash too

[–] [email protected] 3 points 2 years ago (1 children)

But it was the Acclaimed that got squashed :(

[–] [email protected] 4 points 2 years ago

Good news is hob getting involved probably means Daddy Ass is coming back, at least IMO.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 2 years ago

EDDIE!!

Did Kenny just imply Don Callis gave him steroids as a kid?

[–] [email protected] 4 points 2 years ago (1 children)

"Vials of things I've never heard"

Kenny confirms he's a witcher

[–] [email protected] 3 points 2 years ago (1 children)

I'd watch that show

Jarrett segments feels like a way more coherent structured WCW 2000 segment.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 2 years ago

Sting needs to drink more water lol

[–] [email protected] 3 points 2 years ago (2 children)

Wtf! Not the way I expected this match to get setup

Don Callis and BCG have the right amount of sliminess and disdain for Kenny that makes it obvious in hindsight

[–] [email protected] 3 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Eddie kingston with the assist in the union shirt! Love this guy

Yuta has improved but I don't think he's improved enough to end this OC title run

[–] [email protected] 3 points 2 years ago

Yeah, he's grown to be great as a cocky, douchy heel. I'd be shocked if he wins though.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 2 years ago

Idk what else OC had left. Neck, Back, Knee and now Orange Punch hand are all injured.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 2 years ago

Penta is looking great!

[–] [email protected] 3 points 2 years ago

I never even considered the possibility of a Stadium Stampede at All In.

Fuck yeah, I'm down for this.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 2 years ago

He said yes!

[–] [email protected] 3 points 2 years ago

Definitely got a little Joker Sting there.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 2 years ago (2 children)

I should know by now that Orange Cassidy is a really fantastic wrestler, and yet I find myself surprised by his ability every time he gets in the ring. I guess the gimmick works.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 2 years ago

I hated that he won the International title, liked Pac way more. Expected him to lose so many times in the middle. Idk when but around the Jarrett stuff it just clicked. Now I'm an OC mark

[–] [email protected] 3 points 2 years ago

Definitely. And there's almost always something original --a move, a sequence-- in an OC match. He's quietly one of the best.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago)

I like how in AEW the act of sitting down makes an interview even more serious.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 2 years ago

Retiring the FTW belt will get heat with me!

[–] [email protected] 3 points 2 years ago

Lol wait was Roddy somehow in a wheelchair now too?

[–] [email protected] 3 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Adam Cole and MJF just can't miss! MJF is going to kangaroo kick someone and it will be glorious!

😂 I now feel like BTYBB is two guys playing mind games with each other and occasionally remember what the ultimate goal is

[–] [email protected] 3 points 2 years ago

And hugging so hard their pecs clap.
