You don't have to climb Mount Everest if you injure yourself before the trip... Darby is insane.

Montagge@lemmy.zip · 8 pts · 2y (2 replies)

He's going to get dragged up the mountain by a Sherpa at this rate

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

So like everyone else then.

Montagge@lemmy.zip · 3 pts · 2y

Too true lol

cupcakezealot@lemmy.blahaj.zone · 7 pts · 2y

injuring yourself before climbing mount everest is to darby like packing a carry-on bag is to most people

SOMETIMES YOU WANT TO GO WERE EVERYONE KNOWS YOUR NAME

GeekFTW@lemmy.zip · 6 pts · 2y (1 reply)

And they're always glad you caaaame

Montagge@lemmy.zip · 4 pts · 2y

Uhhhhhhhhhhhhh yeah!

JelloBrains@kbin.social · 6 pts · 2y

Nah, she's way more Carla than that.

Montagge@lemmy.zip · 7 pts · 2y (1 reply)

Wardlow trying to go full Darby. Never go full Darby.

GeekFTW@lemmy.zip · 4 pts · 2y

He's making me pay attention at least, which has been hard in a Wardlow match for a while!

Montagge@lemmy.zip · 7 pts · 2y

Adam being a NERRRDDD!

Montagge@lemmy.zip · 7 pts · 2y (1 reply)

Best Friends vs Dark Order can be injected directly into my veins

GeekFTW@lemmy.zip · 5 pts · 2y

Always!

Montagge@lemmy.zip · 7 pts · 2y (1 reply)

Didn't expect her to debut at the start

GeekFTW@lemmy.zip · 5 pts · 2y

They've been edging us enough, they knew the release was needed lmao.

Edit: Will need to hear the theme isolated to make a decision but I am at least glad they didn't bring in that goddamned dumb-as-shit-but-somehow-still-catchy 'money....money....money' theme she had in Japan lol.

If Adam Cole doesn't actually have a plan for when Wardlow refuses then he's more delusional than I thought

Montagge@lemmy.zip · 6 pts · 2y

The devil is always two steps ahead

Montagge@lemmy.zip · 6 pts · 2y

I liked Wardlow putting his hand through the ropes but not finding them

Montagge@lemmy.zip · 6 pts · 2y

Is Hook going to have to sign a NDA?

Travon333@lemmy.world · 6 pts · 2y (1 reply)

I'm shocked Billy would provoke Jay like this. Who can blame Jay for retaliating as necessary?

Montagge@lemmy.zip · 5 pts · 2y

The man put bad ass in his name and thinks he can do whatever!

Travon333@lemmy.world · 6 pts · 2y (1 reply)

😂 Why would you try to fist bump someone as miserable as Pac

Montagge@lemmy.zip · 6 pts · 2y

For the lulz?

cupcakezealot@lemmy.blahaj.zone · 6 pts · 2y

juicebox wasn't part of the darby attack because he's wholesome and pure

Travon333@lemmy.world · 6 pts · 2y

Never expected Bo$$ton to be for corpos

csm10495@sh.itjust.works · 6 pts · 2y

CE no.

Montagge@lemmy.zip · 6 pts · 2y (1 reply)

The split of the Bang Bang Scissor Gang has begun

edit: Forget begun it's completely happened!

Travon333@lemmy.world · 5 pts · 2y

The Jay/Billy tension finally seem resolved but once Jay fully looked bought in, the end has to be near

Montagge@lemmy.zip · 6 pts · 2y

Got that DDP wrap

Travon333@lemmy.world · 6 pts · 2y

Big Business getting right to it!

Montagge@lemmy.zip · 6 pts · 2y

Now that's some battle gear!

Travon333@lemmy.world · 6 pts · 2y

😂😂😂 All of The Elite are smug douches

JelloBrains@kbin.social · 6 pts · 2y (1 reply)

Sometimes I look up and see Wardlow in his singlet and my mind has WCW flashbacks to Wrath.

Montagge@lemmy.zip · 7 pts · 2y

Love me some Wrath!

cupcakezealot@lemmy.blahaj.zone · 6 pts · 2y (1 reply)

tag team champions c-e-riho just makes sense think about it

Montagge@lemmy.zip · 5 pts · 2y

I've thought about it and I like it

JelloBrains@kbin.social · 6 pts · 2y (2 replies)

I wonder who her first feud is, or is she going for the title straight away...

Montagge@lemmy.zip · 6 pts · 2y

I have a feeling we'll find out in the main event. I can't think of why else Riho vs Willow is the main event.

Travon333@lemmy.world · 6 pts · 2y

Looks like revenge on Willow

I'm down for that, let her get established and Timeless Toni/Mariah can cook a little bit longer

JelloBrains@kbin.social · 6 pts · 2y (1 reply)

Well, I was expecting Mercedes to be going against Willow, but with this attack I guess she's saving her.

cupcakezealot@lemmy.blahaj.zone · 4 pts · 2y

everyone fears riho

Montagge@lemmy.zip · 6 pts · 2y

Wardog did his homework!

Montagge@lemmy.zip · 6 pts · 2y

No regard for the body, bruv.

  • Darby Allen
Montagge@lemmy.zip · 6 pts · 2y

Are people talking about restoring the feeling, bruv?

Travon333@lemmy.world · 6 pts · 2y (1 reply)

Wtf am I supposed to like Okada this much or is he that good

hellothere@sh.itjust.works · 3 pts · 2y

Yes, also yes.

cupcakezealot@lemmy.blahaj.zone · 6 pts · 2y (1 reply)

i'm ready for the big debut of the dropkick murphys

hellothere@sh.itjust.works · 2 pts · 2y

Let's go Murphies!

csm10495@sh.itjust.works · 6 pts · 2y

Poor Wardlow never gonna make it at this rate.

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

god i love heel okada

Travon333@lemmy.world · 7 pts · 2y (1 reply)

Are you besties with him? If not call him by his full ass passport name

cupcakezealot@lemmy.blahaj.zone · 6 pts · 2y

"the cleaner" kenny okada :3

GeekFTW@lemmy.zip · 5 pts · 2y (1 reply)

Forcing him to sing happy birthday, I just can't bahah

Montagge@lemmy.zip · 3 pts · 2y

They should have aired the whole song!

Montagge@lemmy.zip · 6 pts · 2y

They have pinned my liege!!!

Travon333@lemmy.world · 6 pts · 2y (1 reply)

Nicholas is such a hothead

Montagge@lemmy.zip · 6 pts · 2y

He just wants some respect!

kralk@lemm.ee · 6 pts · 2y (1 reply)

Poor Hook :(

Montagge@lemmy.zip · 7 pts · 2y

He's getting the Judas Effect

Travon333@lemmy.world · 5 pts · 2y

Riho is actually a battering ram. She opens with power moves and just counters you until she starts hitting then

Travon333@lemmy.world · 5 pts · 2y

Nah because fuck Darby in particular

csm10495@sh.itjust.works · 5 pts · 2y (2 replies)

I might be completely wrong but Mercedes' debut is no where as big as CM Punk.

Like I had no idea about the CEO chant or whatever.

Travon333@lemmy.world · 6 pts · 2y (1 reply)

Cm Punk is like the furthest thing from my mind, I guess I can see some parallels though

csm10495@sh.itjust.works · 4 pts · 2y

I feel like this was trying to emulate that buzz and feel. Instead I got the most annoying forced song/chant.

Montagge@lemmy.zip · 5 pts · 2y

Just gonna dance in this ring all alone lol

cupcakezealot@lemmy.blahaj.zone · 5 pts · 2y (1 reply)

just finished watching; as someone who loves the aew women's division, i give tony all the props in the world for not only letting the women main event but also ending the show with a big feud not involving toni (nothing against toni i just like that other women are getting storylines too besides the world champion!)

Montagge@lemmy.zip · 4 pts · 2y

They need multiple stories so bad and we're finally getting some!

JelloBrains@kbin.social · 5 pts · 2y

I'd find it insanely funny if she didn't debut tonight after all of the teasing that's happened and they instead save it for Destiny or whatever the next PPV is.

If she doesn't show up tonight I'll be shocked, they've all but announced it.

Montagge@lemmy.zip · 5 pts · 2y

That's a gnarly armpit

I don't know if it was shown or addressed during Dynamite (just starting the episode now), but according to the ROH taping spoilers I just eyed, he also didn't come alone! 👀

Solid show, but I'm very worried for Hook as I don't feel he has a strong enough character to not get ripped apart by the Jericho Suck Vortex.

GeekFTW@lemmy.zip · 2 pts · 2y

Not wrong.
