Love that all of Willows tag team partners pick up some of her peppiness

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

This might be unpopular but I think she's infectious.

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

How dare you!

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

When you're around someone as cheerful as Willow, it's infectious.

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

It's infectious!

Roddy is killing this toxic ex GF role and the OGK make perfect enablers

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

I'm really liking this jilted ex/grumpy man-baby act of Roddy's

[–] Montagge@kbin.social 4 points 1 year ago (2 children)

YESSSSSSSSSSS DARK ORDER BABY! I'M FREAKING JACKED!

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

Alex Reynolds got me, 100% thought he was legit injured with how he landed until the end of that shit.

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

CLAWS UP!

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

My claw stays up for more than four hours!

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

If it's up for longer than four hours you should see a doctor.
And if it's shaped like a claw you should see a lawyer to sue whoever circumcised you ;p

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

NEVER!

[–] modulartable 4 points 1 year ago (1 children)

So hyped for Dark Order! LETS GOOOO

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

For sure! That means Adam Cole is gonna be surrounded by his three best friends.

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

Gringo Loco is a solid worker, homie exists to help defy the physical bounds of humanity

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

Vikingo skipped physics class in school, jebus

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

Skye Blue got to pin somebody in her hometown in the main event 😁 made me happy.

Rest of the show was C+ stuff really

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

Roderick has an Adam Cole shrine in his house

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

I can't help but picture Roddy lying in bed, dressed like Wolverine, crying as he caresses a photo of Cole.

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

Budge finally has to face the Dark Order again

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

Yeah, hopefully they bring that up before Sunday. Maybe a quick DO/Cole promo on Collision tomorrow?

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

I think the All Out card is pretty good!

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

Agreed. I'm really looking forward to Takeshita vs. Kenny.

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

Sign Bryan Keith.

Pair him with Hangman and Bandido.

Send them after the Trios belts.

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

The Good, the Bad, and the Ugly?

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

Decent show. DO winning was fun and it'll be nice to see them on a PPV again.
It was fun chatting guys. See some of you tomorrow.

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

How bout it Renee!

Lol I can definitely see the BCC beating up 2.0 and Garcia now.

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

I'm down for some more Wheeler/Garcia matches.

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

I didn't even think of them. They're rivalry could use another chapter

[–] TellumSiege@kbin.social 2 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

Absolutely. It seemed pretty 50/50 before...and I think both guys have grown a lot since their first feud.

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

I've heard good things about Bryan Keith. But his name sounds more like a country singer than a wrestler to me lol

[–] Travon333@kbin.social 2 points 1 year ago

Yeah from what I've heard, I'm definitely intrigued

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

Women have bad booking but the tag division isn't too much better. Most of the actual tag teams are in this battle royal for the ROH titles and it looks like we're getting Sammy/Jericho for the AEW titles some point soon

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

Good point. The women's booking gets all the heat but the tag division needs some work, too.
I'm not sure about Jericho/Sammy though. I could see them getting close but ultimately having a fallout leading to a match.

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

There's no way Sammy and Jericho win, and I don't think it'll be a PPV match
Actually as I say that they're fighting Aussie Open at the announcement table so maybe that'll be their first beef.
I certainly would like to see more of the 2021/2022 tag team division. Butcher and the Blade would be great to see more of. I wish Swerve and AR Fox got a run. Proud and Powerful has to get a title run at some point. Best friends are finally getting more TV time at least.

[–] Travon333@kbin.social 2 points 1 year ago

Yeah that's what makes it frustrating. FTR is a great team and even in defeat they can make so many teams look good

Lucha Bros
PnP
Best Friends, etc.

The roster is so big though that we end up with a plethora of tag team matches that aren't actually tag teams. So besides the champs and the next contenders no one really gets showcased

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

Ikd if I trust my ability to not fall asleep, but it looks like a decent Rampage card

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

No worries man, I'm in the same boat. It's been a looong day/week.

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

This whole year has been long

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

Yeah. Pretty much every year since 2019 deserves a kick in the dick.
