Darby vs. Christian should be fun. But this is what I'm really looking forward to...

Montartemis@artemis.camp · 3 pts · 3y (4 replies)

Are you trying to get me to giggle until I pass out?

TellumSiege@kbin.social · 5 pts · 3y (3 replies)

I was this close to making it the thumbnail lol

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

If you don't make it the thumbnail on Wednesday, I will.

TellumSiege@kbin.social · 3 pts · 3y

This might be my favourite threat ever.

Montartemis@artemis.camp · 2 pts · 3y

Your willpower is greater than mine

πŸ˜‚πŸ˜‚πŸ˜‚ Is Ricky the first suspended wrestler to get a promo, vignette, and full entrance with Pyro?

Also getting some HBK with Diesel vibes from these 2.

TellumSiege@kbin.social · 3 pts · 3y

πŸ˜‚ Has to be. And great call on the HBK/Diesel reference.

Travon333@kbin.social · 5 pts · 3y (1 reply)

So is Andrade officially not in LFI anymore?

MolochAlter@lemmy.world · 2 pts · 2y

I assumed as much since neither side mentioned the other since Andrade's original suspension.

Travon333@kbin.social · 4 pts · 3y (2 replies)

The difference between Nigel/Kelly giving the match card rundown and Excalibur doing it is jarring.

The two shows definitely have 2 distinct feels and I feel like they both picked the right roster.

Dynamite is pure chaos and literally anyone could pop up. The commentary team also just feels like 3 bros taking.

Collison is way more structured and less busy. Matches are either obvious squashes or given enough time to breathe. Nigel/Kevin/JR also feel more like commentators

Montartemis@artemis.camp · 5 pts · 3y (1 reply)

I love Taz, Excalibur, and Tony. Their chemistry is fantastic!

Travon333@kbin.social · 2 pts · 3y

Yeah they are awesome, but the same reasons I love them on Dynamite would be detractors on Collision

TellumSiege@kbin.social · 4 pts · 3y

You know shits serious when it's filmed in letterbox

Travon333@kbin.social · 3 pts · 3y

πŸ˜‚πŸ˜‚πŸ˜‚Nigel is such a simp. Did he just say Christian would retain?

TellumSiege@kbin.social · 3 pts · 3y

KILL HIM!

Austin Gunn kills me lol

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

Darby Wtf man. It's a random Saturday Collision, why are you coffin dropping the apron

ElBarto@lzrprt.sbs · 2 pts · 3y

Darby would do a coffin drop on the apron in a completely empty arena with no cameras and all the lights turned off.

Montartemis@artemis.camp · 2 pts · 3y

The man has to have bones of rubber

Montartemis@artemis.camp · 3 pts · 3y (1 reply)

CM Punk will now be known as the Golden Vampire to me

TellumSiege@kbin.social · 2 pts · 3y

It's only a matter of time before we get the Golden Vampire versus the Golden Elite

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

Hopefully everyone can see this. The Fediverse growing pains have been a serious pain in the ass this week...

Montartemis@artemis.camp · 2 pts · 3y

I can't see it in the web browser again, but kbin has been weird a lot recently. Artemis app to the rescue!

TellumSiege@kbin.social · 2 pts · 3y

BCG out here giving Schiavone a palm reading

TellumSiege@kbin.social · 2 pts · 3y

Hasn't been mentioned yet, but the FTR/Bucks match is now official.

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

That Pounce looked NASTY

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

Absolutely. Diamante looked like she was an inch away from hitting the corner of that rail 😬

Neon_Carnivore@kbin.social · 3 pts · 3y

Dude, I was thinking the same thing.

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

So is Miro going to kill QTV to redeem Hobbs?

Montartemis@artemis.camp · 2 pts · 3y

He's going to steal QT's spray tan and reveal him as a pasty fraud!

Travon333@kbin.social · 2 pts · 3y

πŸ˜‚πŸ˜‚ I'm already loving the relationship between Toni and Lexy

Javish@lemmy.world · 2 pts · 3y

I miss Ian on commentary.

TellumSiege@kbin.social · 2 pts · 3y

Is that Punk dressed as the yellow ranger?

Travon333@kbin.social · 2 pts · 3y

I'm happy Jay is on All In but we could've had Omega vs Danielson if the rumors are true. Besides Jay should be on the PPV no matter what

Montartemis@artemis.camp · 2 pts · 3y

HoB doesn't donate to Goodwill is now canon

TellumSiege@kbin.social · 2 pts · 3y

Match Card

Montartemis@artemis.camp · 2 pts · 3y

Play that leg, Juice!

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

Feels like we're going to see big meaty men slapping meat tonight. Hobbs is in action and we heard from Miro

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

Definitely. And that Hobbs/Miro match should be good. I have no idea who'll go over though.

Montartemis@artemis.camp · 1 pts · 3y

I would love for the two of them to fued

Travon333@kbin.social · 2 pts · 3y

An enraged Samoa Joe is like the last person I would want to wrestle

Montartemis@artemis.camp · 2 pts · 3y

I always pop for the Jay White cardboard cutout

Montartemis@artemis.camp · 2 pts · 3y

It doesn't pay to be Tony Schiavone this episode lol

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

Decent show, not as good as it has been recently, but nothing bad either, although I do wish they'd have more than 1 women's match per show especially given the number of squashes this week.

I feel sorry for anyone who is wrestling on Collision, and then All In, next week, it'll be about 18 hours between the two plus a long flight. Brutal.

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

I'm pretty sure they are filming taping Collison that week after Dynamite

hellothere@sh.itjust.works · 1 pts · 3y

Ah ok, that makes a bit more sense.

Montartemis@artemis.camp · 2 pts · 3y

Juice Robinswim is a fantastic fish name!

TellumSiege@kbin.social · 2 pts · 3y

C'mon Ricky, say Stroke Daddy...

TellumSiege@kbin.social · 2 pts · 3y (5 replies)

@Montagge can you see this? I know they couldn't see the Dynamite thread...

Montartemis@artemis.camp · 2 pts · 3y (4 replies)

I can on Artemis but not kbin. When I follow your message I can see the thread but no comments.

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

Thanks for the update.

Weird. It's been happening all week for me (Getting error messages whenever I create threads). At this point, I don't know if it's me, Kbin, or something else...

Montartemis@artemis.camp · 2 pts · 3y (2 replies)

Ditto, and I assume it's on kbins end. The two that I visit the most are being weird, but squaredcircle for some reason is worse. No idea why. I thought I had fat fingers blocked a bunch of people by accident, but no such luck.

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

Hopefully it's on Kbin's end. And hopefully it's solved by All-In, otherwise I might have to find someone else to post the thread.

And thanks again for the help.

Montartemis@artemis.camp · 2 pts · 3y

Let me know if I can help!

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

I love Christian's turtleneck gear. He's like the wrestling version of Archer.

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

It's a tactilneck.

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

πŸ˜‚πŸ˜‚πŸ˜‚ Idk why Schiavone agreed to interview then. He has to know he would get bullied

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

He looked like sour boy everytime they put his hand up πŸ˜‚

Travon333@kbin.social · 2 pts · 3y

Tony is amazing at subtle indignance when someone is rude to him

TellumSiege@kbin.social · 2 pts · 3y

Toni's old Hollywood gimmick is so great. The most impressive part is how quickly she's pulled it off.

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

Damn can these four cut a promo.

Montartemis@artemis.camp · 1 pts · 3y (1 reply)

They're such a good group
Putting Juice and the Gunns together is just fun

TellumSiege@kbin.social · 2 pts · 3y

I wasn't sure about their chemistry at first but they've really meshed these past few weeks. I'd love it if they could find a fifth...maybe a big man or something (Big Bill? Hobbs?)

Travon333@kbin.social · 2 pts · 3y

πŸ˜‚πŸ˜‚πŸ˜‚πŸ˜‚ Christian Cage is great. Only man that can lose a title match and stay the champ

TellumSiege@kbin.social · 2 pts · 3y

Dang. I guess that's all we'll get from FTR :/

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

Is that the first time they say 'cardblade' on TV?

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

I watch on Fite TV but I feel like Austin Gunn said it either in a promo or on commentary.

TellumSiege@kbin.social · 2 pts · 3y

That makes sense. I figured I missed it lol

Montartemis@artemis.camp · 2 pts · 3y

I think so lol

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

Was Dalton okay there? Seemed weird the way he stretched his arm out.

Montartemis@artemis.camp · 2 pts · 3y

I think he was reaching for the rope

TellumSiege@kbin.social · 2 pts · 3y

Spear, huh? Isn't that someone else's move...

Travon333@kbin.social · 2 pts · 3y

Whoa what a hot start!

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

Christian should call himself the "Real" TNT champ.

TellumSiege@kbin.social · 2 pts · 3y

I put a trophy next to his name for a reason

Montartemis@artemis.camp · 2 pts · 3y

Now I want to see someone suplexed so hard their brain falls out their butt
