Christian is the best vet AEW has signed.

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

Agreed. AEW got so much heat when they signed him but he's been so damn good. Especially with the father of the year bit.

Neon_Carnivore@kbin.social · 3 pts · 2y

He's out working everyone.

JelloBrains@kbin.social · 4 pts · 2y

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.

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

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

Montagge@kbin.earth · 2 pts · 2y

I could see this going either way

DigitalGemini@mastodon.social · 2 pts · 2y (1 reply)

@TellumSiege anyone who didn’t enjoy that FTR vs Mox and Claudio match doesn’t have a pulse.

TellumSiege@kbin.social · 2 pts · 2y

Agreed. It was an awesome match. I bet the rematch will be just as good.

JelloBrains@kbin.social · 4 pts · 2y (8 replies)

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

Montagge@kbin.earth · 4 pts · 2y (7 replies)

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 pts · 2y (2 replies)

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 pts · 2y (1 reply)

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 pts · 2y

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 pts · 2y (3 replies)

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

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

It was silly and it entertained me, but it could have been better. It felt kind of rushed which would explain why Wardlow was pinning guards however they ended up.

Maybe meat madness will be Wardlow vs Keith Lee vs Shane Taylor vs Miro vs Powerhouse Hobbs vs Dutch vs Butcher vs JD Drake vs Toa

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

They've already announced Wardlow and Hobbs for it, so I'm guessing that's exactly the idea. A battle royal of Big Meaty Men Slapping Meat.

GeekFTW@kbin.social · 2 pts · 2y

That I'd be down for.

TellumSiege@kbin.social · 4 pts · 2y (8 replies)

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

Montagge@kbin.earth · 5 pts · 2y (7 replies)

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

ItsWizardTime@lemmy.world · 5 pts · 2y (1 reply)

They're beating Botchamania to the punch!

Montagge@kbin.earth · 4 pts · 2y

You can't hurt us, Maffew, if we hurt ourselves first

Intuit trying to get in the health insurance game

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

Don't give em tips lol

Montagge@kbin.earth · 2 pts · 2y

They already have a AD&D insurance company lol

Intuit Insurance Services Inc.

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

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.

TellumSiege@kbin.social · 5 pts · 2y (1 reply)

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

GeekFTW@kbin.social · 3 pts · 2y

bahaha it's funny cause it's true.

apj2k36@lemmy.ml · 4 pts · 2y

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

csm10495@sh.itjust.works · 4 pts · 2y (1 reply)

I feel like after the MJF turn, the undisputed has basically floundered.

Montagge@kbin.earth · 3 pts · 2y

I've enjoyed them beefing with the Best Friends, but it sucks that people are banged up

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

Claudio coming into frame like Mongo in Blazing Saddles

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

Such a good movie

GeekFTW@kbin.social · 3 pts · 2y

Sounds like my post-AEW morning is settled!

csm10495@sh.itjust.works · 3 pts · 2y (2 replies)

Remember: Dax is bald.

TellumSiege@kbin.social · 4 pts · 2y

The way I remember is that Cash has an H in it. H for hair.

Montagge@kbin.earth · 3 pts · 2y

But is he strapped?

Montagge@kbin.earth · 3 pts · 2y

RVD doing Hook a solid!

Montagge@kbin.earth · 3 pts · 2y

Clown Toni is horrific

Where were these guys when Christian handled Copeland last week

Montagge@kbin.earth · 3 pts · 2y

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

TellumSiege@kbin.social · 3 pts · 2y

Loved the way Bennett sold that Orange Punch.

Travon333@kbin.social · 3 pts · 2y (1 reply)

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

Montagge@kbin.earth · 3 pts · 2y

What else can you expect from Texas' hat

Every time Samoa Joe comes out, I say to my wife: "They should change his name to 'Joe the Samoan'"

I guess that could be his one man show comedian name.

My sense of humor is so bad.

Montagge@kbin.earth · 3 pts · 2y

Just awful lol

Travon333@kbin.social · 3 pts · 2y (1 reply)

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 pts · 2y

Nailed it lol.

Travon333@kbin.social · 3 pts · 2y

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

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

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

TellumSiege@kbin.social · 3 pts · 2y

The teams weirdly do and don't make sense lol

Travon333@kbin.social · 3 pts · 2y (1 reply)

Will Flair swerve us by finally not turning on Sting?

GeekFTW@kbin.social · 3 pts · 2y

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.

csm10495@sh.itjust.works · 3 pts · 2y

Where is Wardlow's doofy hair?

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

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

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

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 pts · 2y

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 pts · 2y

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.

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

Sting is going to wreck the bucks

GeekFTW@kbin.social · 3 pts · 2y

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.

Montagge@kbin.earth · 3 pts · 2y

Don't kill Madison

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

nobody:

christian cage: oh yeah i forgot your dad is dead

Montagge@kbin.earth · 3 pts · 2y

Is there anything more beautiful than Matt Tavern getting laid out?

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

GeekFTW@kbin.social · 3 pts · 2y
