Curious to see where this goes. Seems rather sudden for a retirement.

Another "double clothesline" chant. The MJF/Cole act is super over.

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

I legit love the cold style openings with the old school promos so much. Also I can't get over how cool Billy Gunn is in 2023

"Also I can't get over how cool Billy Gunn is in 2023"

--@cupcakezealot, seconds before disaster.

Listen I might be a wee bit behind but I stand by my statement haha blobcat, sweats

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 years ago

On second thought, I can pinpoint the second where Max Castor realises he made a mistake.

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

So like all four of these guys are heels now, right?

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

Psychedelic dinosaur! I love it.

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

I'm guessing Andre Dealio (or whatever his name is) makes an appearance during the House of Black match.

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

I like Andretti as a wrestler... And that's about it. He needs to find the rest of his thing and he could be great.

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

They let him cut some promos a few months ago and he showed some potential.

It's too bad Dark/Elevation isn't around anymore. Those shows were perfect for wrestlers like him.

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

Seems like ROH is filling that role now.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 years ago

Yeah he's like the 123 Kid... Great fun in the ring and had a huge upset win. I don't think he NEEDS to improve but if he did have solid promo's he would be shot to the upper mid card immediately.

Andrade's on screen. Hope Kevin Kelly has his babel fish on him.

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

...Says the guy whose team finished dead last.

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

NONE OF THEM CAN GET HIS NAME RIGHT!

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

Now that Pac is about to become remembered by gravity, Andrade will fill the role as The Man Announcers Forgot

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

Who, Ricky Shark? :)

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago) (1 children)

I'm convinced Collision's bookers are so into old-school Memphis-style wrestling that they're telling their commentators to mispronounce the Mexican guys name on purpose. That's the only thing that makes sense to me at this point lol.

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

It's all a ruse to try and get Professor Mike Tenay out of retirement. ;)

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 years ago

I like it. Bring him back to call the Sting vs. Goldberg match at Wembley :p

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

Hahaha everyone shits on Jersey!

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

Oooh. My looking forward tos... Skye Blue and Acclaimed V HoB. Should be good times.

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

Another Miro squash match? Why don't they have an angle for him?!

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 years ago

It's harder to build someone up as a monster with competitive matches.

Omg this segment is full of hypocrites

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

Starting with Pretty Ricky.

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

Really wish he could go by Stroke Daddy again

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

Why not both!

Those fireworks were so perfectly obnoxious. Wonder if Cody is jealous.

Ricky Stark done lost his dang mind.

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

"No scissoring in here tonight..."

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

OK I was entertained, nice segment explaining why we get a match and showing character.

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

Nice surprise. AEW rarely does the promo-turned-main-event...I can only remember it happening one other time.

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

I don't mind Comorotto. Especially in the jobber-on-TV role.

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

Every time Miro does his entrance with the roar I like to imagine the final fantasy ix battle theme beginning to play

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

Kuja and Garland would never have messed with Alexandria if Miro was the one protecting the castle.

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

Between Taya and Skye, I'm really not sure who's going to win this match. They're both getting a bit of a push.

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

I want a Gunn club shirt. I can't believe I'm saying this <3

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

Ian could have been Michael Cole's successor but I'm glad he's in AEW. He's just such a good commentator and even better human being who deserves so much.

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

It's amazing how much better Christian is yet it's Edge who gets most of the recognition. :((

(I'm not saying Edge isn't good either or that he doesn't deserve recognition; just that Christian has been criminally in the shadow of Edge for so long)

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

CM Punk's cutting a post-show promo on FITE. He's doing a great job of getting the crowd on his side.

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

Weird crowd throughout, I thought. Booing to the point he had to resort to insulting the local sports team™ during his baby face promo, but then cheering and chanting any mention of him the rest of the night. Masochists.

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

Love Jay's theme, really ties the sinister dick head vibes together

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

Bullet Club in general seem to have some great themes. My favourite might be ABC's in Impact.

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

If it's still Shot Em, it's the OG BC theme.
