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

[–] ImADifferentBird@midwest.social 6 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Leatherface is AEW canon now.

[–] Montartemis@artemis.camp 6 points 1 year ago

He needs to team up with Abadon

[–] Travon333@kbin.social 5 points 1 year ago

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

[–] TellumSiege@kbin.social 5 points 1 year ago

EDDIE!!

[–] Travon333@kbin.social 5 points 1 year ago

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

[–] ImADifferentBird@midwest.social 5 points 1 year ago (2 children)

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

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

"Vials of things I've never heard"

Kenny confirms he's a witcher

[–] Montartemis@artemis.camp 3 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I'd watch that show

Lol that's what I got from it

[–] king_dead 5 points 1 year ago (1 children)

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

[–] TellumSiege@kbin.social 3 points 1 year ago

Yeah, I'm really glad he's back. I wouldn't hate it if they put a belt on him either.

[–] Travon333@kbin.social 5 points 1 year ago (2 children)

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

Lucha brothers rule.

[–] Travon333@kbin.social 4 points 1 year ago (1 children)

So both of these matches getting like 10 minutes.

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

lol I was thinking the same thing.

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

Lol and somehow we get an Acclaimed squash too

[–] Montartemis@artemis.camp 3 points 1 year ago (1 children)

But it was the Acclaimed that got squashed :(

[–] TellumSiege@kbin.social 4 points 1 year ago

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

[–] ImADifferentBird@midwest.social 4 points 1 year ago

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

Fuck yeah, I'm down for this.

[–] Travon333@kbin.social 4 points 1 year ago

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

[–] Travon333@kbin.social 4 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Hearing Jane as an edible starts hitting is peak Wednesday

[–] TellumSiege@kbin.social 3 points 1 year ago

Right as the show starts. Perfect timing lol.

[–] Travon333@kbin.social 4 points 1 year ago

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

[–] Travon333@kbin.social 4 points 1 year ago

Penta is looking great!

[–] ImADifferentBird@midwest.social 4 points 1 year 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.

[–] TellumSiege@kbin.social 4 points 1 year ago

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

[–] Travon333@kbin.social 4 points 1 year 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

[–] Travon333@kbin.social 4 points 1 year ago (1 children)

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

[–] TellumSiege@kbin.social 4 points 1 year ago

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

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

[–] Montartemis@artemis.camp 4 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Jeff ripping his face off was cool

He said yes!

[–] TellumSiege@kbin.social 3 points 1 year ago

I'm hoping Jay and Juice are there to support the Gunns. Didn't get a high enough dose of BCG on Saturday…

[–] Travon333@kbin.social 3 points 1 year ago

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

[–] Travon333@kbin.social 3 points 1 year ago

It's a rib bro! Honest

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

[–] Travon333@kbin.social 3 points 1 year ago

Retiring the FTW belt will get heat with me!

[–] ImADifferentBird@midwest.social 3 points 1 year ago

Definitely got a little Joker Sting there.

[–] Montartemis@artemis.camp 3 points 1 year ago

Sting needs to drink more water lol

[–] TellumSiege@kbin.social 3 points 1 year ago

Tony looked like he was about to audition for the Broadway version of Reservoir Dogs

[–] Montartemis@artemis.camp 3 points 1 year 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
