I'm guessing FTR takes this? Unless there's some HoB involvement...

The ending of that match (Deonna vs. Madison) was rough. I was thinking Madison was either gassed or concussed 😬

[–] Montagge@kbin.earth 4 points 9 months ago (4 children)

Probably shouldn't have made that the move of the night

It's amazing how fast the MJF killer Wardlow became this Wardblow character...

[–] Montagge@kbin.earth 4 points 9 months ago (2 children)

In his defense he was banged up.

Not in his defense he needs to quit being the unstoppable monster because that's what he's always been.

[–] JelloBrains@kbin.social 4 points 9 months ago (1 children)

I'd agree to all that and add that MJF screwed him by disappearing, then showing up to lose, and then leaving so he couldn't continue the story.

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

I still wonder how much of that was real and how much of that was a story that didn't pan out

[–] JelloBrains@kbin.social 4 points 9 months ago

I wouldn't be shocked if it was an elaborate thing that went wrong, or maybe an injury situation, but it was just really odd, although that happens to sometimes.

[–] GeekFTW@kbin.social 3 points 8 months ago* (last edited 8 months ago) (3 children)

I'm still chuffed over that 1v20 or whatever match where Wardlow was pinning 4-5 security guards at a time regardless of their physical orientation in the ring. Nothing that has come since then has made me give a monkeys nut about him and like you said, him being the unstoppable monster isn't helping.

Edit: 'meat madness' jfc they're gonna 1v20 it again aren't they rofl

Taz just made a UWF reference... and all I can think of is Herb Abrams the original wrestling Snowman... and now TK the new Snowman.

I think a draw was the right decision, that was deserving of a rematch and I don't even really like tag team wrestling.

[–] JelloBrains@kbin.social 4 points 9 months ago (2 children)

So... did Mox learn from Brock about going on early so you can go home early? I don't watch every Dynamite, but I swear it seems like he's on first every time I do.

[–] apj2k36@lemmy.ml 4 points 9 months ago

Gives him time to watch the kid while Renee does the interviews

[–] TellumSiege@kbin.social 4 points 9 months ago (1 children)

I figured they were going early because Cash had to make an early court appearance.

[–] GeekFTW@kbin.social 3 points 8 months ago

bahaha it's funny cause it's true.

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

Just saying Mathew and Nicholas have been described as modern day Flairs and the corporate synergy with Woo would be top notch

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

Nailed it lol.

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

Will Flair swerve us by finally not turning on Sting?

[–] GeekFTW@kbin.social 3 points 8 months ago

I wanna hope yes, but I am seeing too much of Flair on tv to make me think anything else. If someone is just gonna be there to be in your corner for a match, you don't put this much effort into them appearing on tv and story-lining it. He'll be doing something and knowing Flair he's already prepping his gigs.

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

I'd be surprised if Garcia beats Christian but either way that's a big spot for him.

[–] Montagge@kbin.earth 3 points 9 months ago (2 children)

Christian has to drop the belt eventually and DG is red hot right now so I wouldn't be mad if he got the title

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

Oh I'd love it if he won. I just figured they're waiting to get the belt back on Copeland.

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

it'd be easy to have angelo chase off lucha and nick, to even the playing field, then have edge stop christian from doing something dirty against daniel, which still let's daniel go over clean, and then continues the edge/christian feud (with some extra anger since edge caused christian to lose his baby), and gives nick and lucha something to do with angelo.

[–] apj2k36@lemmy.ml 3 points 9 months ago (1 children)

Kudos to Wardlow for powering through those what chants

[–] Montagge@kbin.earth 3 points 9 months ago (2 children)

I hate What chants

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

The few times I tune back into Smackdown/Raw it's an immediate vibe killer for me

[–] GeekFTW@kbin.social 3 points 8 months ago (1 children)

They're so bad. They were amazing back in the day when Austin was leading the damn call but fuck it wasn't worth it in the long run lol.

Where were these guys when Christian handled Copeland last week

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

The children aren't going to object the father of the year

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

Loved the way Bennett sold that Orange Punch.

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

Renee doing her best impression of Excalibur there.

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

RVD fucking everyone up with crazy Kung fu shit warms my heart

[–] GeekFTW@kbin.social 3 points 8 months ago

Been an RVD mark since day 1 of ECW on TNN when the first match was RVD vs Jerry Lynn!

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

This is a motley crew of a six man for both teams lol

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

The teams weirdly do and don't make sense lol

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

They dispatched of the goon and the child while the vet watches on

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

RVD doing Hook a solid!

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

Sting is going to wreck the bucks

[–] GeekFTW@kbin.social 3 points 8 months ago

He was struggling to keep it together once or twice (and not one of us could blame him given what he said), but I need to point out that was the closest Sting has ever actually sounded like The fuckin' Crow in all his years of the gimmick and I was genuinely a bit shook right there and am now quite eagerly awaiting watching Sting murder someone in the ring.

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

The next Fight Forever DLC better have dick punches in it. So many low blows lately lol

Oklahoma has parent issues. Booing a mother and disrespecting a father

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

What else can you expect from Texas' hat
