I'm become I'm becoming

NDA

NDA in my mind

[–] TellumSiege@kbin.social 3 points 9 months ago

Looks like Rock Card was under there too lol

[–] TellumSiege@kbin.social 3 points 9 months ago (1 children)

That's such a strange collection of talent to save Mox lol

[–] Travon333@kbin.social 3 points 9 months ago (1 children)

😂😂😂 CMLL invasion wasnt what I had in mind

And yes, the BCC seem like snobby bullies but the locker room is looking out for them

[–] TellumSiege@kbin.social 3 points 9 months ago (1 children)

lol I was actually wondering how they'd handle the CMLL guys being front row during the Komander match. I think I read that CMLL talent and AAA talent aren't allowed to be on screen together.

[–] ImADifferentBird@lemmy.blahaj.zone 3 points 9 months ago (2 children)

Is Komander still a AAA guy? I think he has an AEW deal, but he might be a two contract guy.

[–] TellumSiege@kbin.social 3 points 9 months ago

I assumed he was but I could be wrong. All I know is that I hope he's in AEW full-time because I love the guy.

I'm surprised commentary completely ignored the history between Deonna and Taya. They've mentioned that Deonna is a former AAA Reina de Reinas champion and I figured tonight they would have mentioned that Taya beat her for the title.

[–] TellumSiege@kbin.social 3 points 9 months ago* (last edited 9 months ago) (1 children)

I'm surprised they didn't bring that up--it was on their website at least. But I'm not surprised they didn't mention their TNA history :/

[–] Montagge@kbin.earth 3 points 9 months ago

AEW tends to drop the ball on that, but maybe it's a legal thing

[–] Montagge@kbin.earth 3 points 9 months ago

Everybody trying to die in New Orleans tonight

[–] cupcakezealot@lemmy.blahaj.zone 3 points 9 months ago

if you can't get enough adam cole watch his latest vod for ff16 when he does the bahamut fight because it's 2 hours of wholesome adam cole

[–] Montagge@kbin.earth 3 points 9 months ago

That was nasty! Kommander landed on his neck

[–] cupcakezealot@lemmy.blahaj.zone 3 points 9 months ago

just commenting to say that taya vs deonna was amazing! i love seeing how much more time the division is getting and how much they're shining!

also whenever the camera is on toni it should go black and white. like not even different cameras just make her black and white while everything else is in colour. :)

[–] Montagge@kbin.earth 3 points 9 months ago (1 children)

Got home just in time for Kommander to be sacrificed to Wardlow

[–] TellumSiege@kbin.social 3 points 9 months ago

That's MISTER Wardlow!

[–] Travon333@kbin.social 3 points 9 months ago (2 children)

If Wardlow is injured this whole group is cursed

[–] DigitalGemini@mastodon.social 3 points 9 months ago

@Travon333 @TellumSiege I had the exact same thought. You could see him cussing after, hitting the steps and limping after the match. He either became a great seller over night or he’s injured. It might out a storyline in jeopardy or delay it. Bummer.

[–] TellumSiege@kbin.social 3 points 9 months ago (1 children)

Hard to say but it doesn't look good 😬

[–] Montagge@kbin.earth 3 points 9 months ago (1 children)

Hopefully just a stinger

[–] GeekFTW@kbin.social 3 points 9 months ago* (last edited 9 months ago)

Seems to be ok, least according to himself.
https://www.f4wonline.com/news/aew/wardlow-says-knee-is-just-fine-after-aew-dynamite-match

Edit: Possibly not per WON:

Bryan Alvarez: "Wardlow says he is fine. I have been told that it's not fine."

Dave Meltzer: "I was told that he was hurt."

Alvarez: "What I was told was, he's getting checked out tomorrow. They think it's possibly a torn Meniscus, but that he dodged a bullet and it wasn't much worse and he'll probably be alright. But he definitely is not 'fine'. Something went wrong and he is being looked at tomorrow."

[–] Travon333@kbin.social 3 points 9 months ago (1 children)

So how long until the Bang Bang Scissor Gang breaks my heart?

[–] Montagge@kbin.earth 3 points 9 months ago

Probably Revolution 😭

[–] TellumSiege@kbin.social 3 points 9 months ago* (last edited 9 months ago) (1 children)

Toni just steals the show. They're having way too much fun on commentary lol

[–] Montagge@kbin.earth 3 points 9 months ago (1 children)

She pulled off the when she's not on camera all of the other wrestlers should be asking where's Toni?

The whole fucking show!!!

[–] TellumSiege@kbin.social 3 points 9 months ago

Toa impressed the hell out of me. That was a pretty solid match imo.

[–] TellumSiege@kbin.social 3 points 9 months ago

Mox putting Jeff in the sideways 69

[–] Montagge@kbin.earth 3 points 9 months ago

Yeah he's gassed. Damn near killed himself there jesus

[–] TellumSiege@kbin.social 3 points 9 months ago (1 children)

RVD spamming his taunt lol

[–] Montagge@kbin.earth 3 points 9 months ago

RVD thinks real life is a video game lol

[–] TellumSiege@kbin.social 3 points 9 months ago (2 children)

Damn Swerve/Hangman next week? I'm in.

[–] ImADifferentBird@lemmy.blahaj.zone 3 points 9 months ago (1 children)

Hell yeah. Next week is going to be awesome.

[–] TellumSiege@kbin.social 3 points 9 months ago

The card is looking stacked. It's like they're trying to get eyes on it for a potential new signing or something...

The Bucks are such good EVPs

[–] Montagge@kbin.earth 3 points 9 months ago

Making sure everyone is doing what they should!

[–] TellumSiege@kbin.social 3 points 9 months ago (1 children)

Agreed. I love that they're finally taking their roles seriously.

And did Nicholas say Matthews middle name was Ron Jon? lol I couldn't catch it.

[–] Travon333@kbin.social 3 points 9 months ago (1 children)

Lol yes Nicholas Lee and Matthew Ron Jon Jackson

[–] TellumSiege@kbin.social 3 points 9 months ago

lmao that's too funny.

[–] TellumSiege@kbin.social 3 points 9 months ago (1 children)

I know he won't but it'd be smart for Jericho to lose this.

[–] Montagge@kbin.earth 3 points 9 months ago

Is it just me or is Jericho gassed already

[–] Travon333@kbin.social 3 points 9 months ago

😂 They definitely threatened to hold Renee's paycheck if she didn't do this

[–] Travon333@kbin.social 3 points 9 months ago (1 children)

RVDs moveset is still sick af

[–] Montagge@kbin.earth 3 points 9 months ago (1 children)

When you compare him to those that he came up with, RVD moves pretty damn good

[–] GeekFTW@kbin.social 3 points 9 months ago

100%. I think hes said in interviews the only thing he can't do right off the cuff is his corner kicks (without a week or two of practice to get the flexibility back up) but otherwise he can still hit all of his moveset albeit a little slower due to age.
