Roddy's mustache makes him look like the cop that dated your sister, and then busted her for a gram of weed after the break up.

TellumSiege@kbin.social · 4 pts · 2y (2 replies)

I'm guessing Garcia takes this but I'd love to see Taylor get a push soon. He's been crushing his promos lately.

ImADifferentBird@lemmy.blahaj.zone · 4 pts · 2y (1 reply)

Would love to see both him and Moriarty get a big push. Both are fantastic wrestlers.

TellumSiege@kbin.social · 3 pts · 2y

Definitely. I read somewhere that Tony's thinking about adding members to Shane Taylor Promotion. He's good enough on the mic to lead a faction...but he'll need some wins if people are gonna take him/them seriously.

cupcakezealot@lemmy.blahaj.zone · 4 pts · 2y (6 replies)

tonight has a severe lack of cardblade and juicebox. :(

Neon_Carnivore@kbin.social · 4 pts · 2y

They're plotting their heel turn where they align themselves with Yoshihiko to screw BCG out of the RoH trios titles.

TellumSiege@kbin.social · 3 pts · 2y (1 reply)

Yeah all BCG did was that short segment on Dynamite with the Acclaimed. I need them on TV way more than that...

ImADifferentBird@lemmy.blahaj.zone · 3 pts · 2y

Yeah, where are the Collision Cowboys?

Montagge@kbin.earth · 2 pts · 2y (2 replies)

I like to think they're out fighting crime

cupcakezealot@lemmy.blahaj.zone · 4 pts · 2y (1 reply)

make an animated show on aew youtube called cardblade and juicebox: rescue rangers, cowards.

GeekFTW@kbin.social · 3 pts · 2y

and then set it to some lofi 24/7 cause we doing that lol

TellumSiege@kbin.social · 4 pts · 2y (3 replies)

Seeing Deonna made me think of TNA which made me think of Scott D'amore's firing. Argh.

Here's Toni as a palette cleanser!

TellumSiege@kbin.social · 4 pts · 2y

She definitely helps.

GeekFTW@kbin.social · 4 pts · 2y

Won't be an award-worthy-fuck up, but imo at least a good damn contender for stupidest pro wrestling company decision of the year ('less if we see Flair in his trunks again..)

cupcakezealot@lemmy.blahaj.zone · 4 pts · 2y (3 replies)

stokely hathaway is gonna break my heart i know it i trust him less than don :(

GeekFTW@kbin.social · 4 pts · 2y

We all know its coming. We can see it being telegraphed from miles away. We can see it coming more clearly than we can the next McMahon allegation (which is probably gonna come out this week.)

But while the ride lasts, it's at least fun!

TellumSiege@kbin.social · 4 pts · 2y (1 reply)

I can see it but I have no clue how it's gonna turn out. Does he side with Stat? Willow? Turn on both of them and join forces with someone else?

Montagge@kbin.earth · 4 pts · 2y

I'm not sure where that's going, but I assume a double cross because it's Stokley

TellumSiege@kbin.social · 4 pts · 2y (3 replies)

That Pharaoh mask is badass. Doesn't look anything like Cody's dog though...

Montagge@kbin.earth · 3 pts · 2y (1 reply)

I can kinda see it

TellumSiege@kbin.social · 2 pts · 2y

Honestly, right after I commented I thought, "you know, it kinda does look like Cody's dog" lol

Copeland and Darby tease

TellumSiege@kbin.social · 3 pts · 2y (4 replies)

I wonder if Sting and Darby retain at Revolution and Copeland takes Sting's place as Darby's tag partner?

Travon333@kbin.social · 3 pts · 2y (3 replies)

I was thinking the Bucks retain but if they do go this route, Copeland and Darby vs Christian and Nick Wayne would be a cool story

TellumSiege@kbin.social · 3 pts · 2y (2 replies)

Id love to see the EVP'S win but I doubt Sting loses his retirement match. But man, that Wayne/Cage vs. Cope/Darby match would be excellent. There's so much history with all four of those guys.

ImADifferentBird@lemmy.blahaj.zone · 4 pts · 2y (1 reply)

I could see Sting going out on his back. He's old school, after all.

Honestly, I can see that one going either way. And that makes it even more exciting.

TellumSiege@kbin.social · 3 pts · 2y

That's a great point about Sting.

And I couldn't agree more. Wrestling is so much better when it's unpredictable. It makes me even more excited for that match.

all the cmll stuff reminds me of hour 1 of nitro where you'd get the amazing cruiserweight showcases

TellumSiege@kbin.social · 4 pts · 2y (4 replies)

I've probably enjoyed the CMLL/AAA Luchadors more than I have the NJPW wrestlers. The New Japan guys are amazing but these Luchadors are so much more fun to watch (imo).

cupcakezealot@lemmy.blahaj.zone · 3 pts · 2y (1 reply)

i dream of the day where we can have a cmll x aew supercard in mexico

TellumSiege@kbin.social · 3 pts · 2y

That'd be awesome. I doubt we'll get that anytime soon, but my guess is CMLL will be a part of Forbidden Door.

ImADifferentBird@lemmy.blahaj.zone · 3 pts · 2y (1 reply)

There is something special about luchadors. Something larger than life.

TellumSiege@kbin.social · 2 pts · 2y

Wait Willow actually turn? She was effected by the mist

Montagge@kbin.earth · 4 pts · 2y (4 replies)

I don't think so

I think she shook of the mist curse

Travon333@kbin.social · 4 pts · 2y (1 reply)

Feels like Skye did too, Willow already has the bark and if Stokely steals Stat from her then she could be left with no choice

Montagge@kbin.earth · 3 pts · 2y

I'd dig that story, but I'm also biased towards spooky ladies

ImADifferentBird@lemmy.blahaj.zone · 4 pts · 2y (1 reply)

The thing about Willow is that the mist couldn't put anything in her heart that isn't already there. She knows how cold and dark and corrupt the world is already, and she chooses to be bright and cheerful regardless.

Holy shit, really?

Good to know that they can still sell out the big shows, despite all the handwringing about their recent ticket sales.

TellumSiege@kbin.social · 3 pts · 2y (2 replies)

I think it was just the first seats they put up for sale, which was 5000 or so.

cupcakezealot@lemmy.blahaj.zone · 4 pts · 2y (1 reply)

ooh maybe i was looking at ticketmaster and there were only a handful of blue spots left on the right side top level but yeah maybe they didn't put all of them on sale?

TellumSiege@kbin.social · 3 pts · 2y

That's what I read earlier but I could be wrong. Tickets are still moving at a great pace though.

I do wonder if/when Black/Matthews leaves what HoB will do. Brody and Julia (and make Skye a full member already lol) could carry it, but I feel they need at least another member male or female and I don't know who.

ImADifferentBird@lemmy.blahaj.zone · 3 pts · 2y (3 replies)

Skye Blue seems like a natural fit, considering she's already working with Julia.

I'd say Darby would work, but he already has his own thing and doesn't need them.

GeekFTW@kbin.social · 3 pts · 2y (2 replies)

I know HoB-danhausen has been a meme for a while but if Danhausen introduced more of his serious 'i'm a demon and will break you now' side I wouldn't mind seeing him pop in, but he'd have to drop most of the comedy I feel.

ImADifferentBird@lemmy.blahaj.zone · 3 pts · 2y (1 reply)

If he could bring that edge without entirely losing the comedy, I can see it. But he should not be entirely serious, because that would lose what is unique about the character.
