Pentas moveset is just picking different body part to attempt to cripple

TellumSiege@kbin.social · 6 pts · 2y

I'm starting to think Skye's eye infection might actually be make-up.

Montagge@kbin.social · 6 pts · 2y

Jesus the pop for Sting was loud

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

The crowd dancing with Nana was 👌

GeekFTW@kbin.social · 6 pts · 2y

Again, I did not give the slightest fuck about Nana. Not one iota.

Then that magnificent bastard started dancing beside Swerve and now if he's not on every episode I will riot (metaphorically, in my underwear, from my desk lol).

Montagge@kbin.social · 6 pts · 2y

I did my part!

TellumSiege@kbin.social · 6 pts · 2y

I can't believe Excalibur didn't respond with "Red Velvet" when Taz asked what kind of cake HoB got Julia for her birthday lol

Travon333@kbin.social · 5 pts · 2y (3 replies)

Shameless promotion aside, Yakuza looks kind of fun

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

Seriously. I haven't played any but I've heard good things.

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

I've played Yakuza 0 and it was fun!

Neon_Carnivore@kbin.social · 3 pts · 2y

I've finished 0 and Kiwami and am about 10 hours into Kiwami 2. The hardest part is finding the time to play, but it's time well spent. I own, but still have yet to play 3-6. Steam sale hooked me up.

Travon333@kbin.social · 5 pts · 2y (1 reply)

😂😂 I hate how much control MJF has over the audience

Montagge@kbin.social · 5 pts · 2y

Nick Wayne got cheered when he came out before the show lol

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

Powerhouse Hobbs vs PPA

TellumSiege@kbin.social · 5 pts · 2y

Those really do look like great seats.

TellumSiege@kbin.social · 5 pts · 2y

PPA looks pretty jacked here, to the point that I wasn't sure it was him lol

Montagge@kbin.social · 5 pts · 2y (6 replies)

Seat for the night!

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

Awesome! You even get a cup holder!

Enjoy the show man. Won't be the same without you here lol

Montagge@kbin.social · 5 pts · 2y (4 replies)

Beer is $15, that cup holder is going to be empty lol

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

Oof. Charging $15 bucks for beer should be insta-jail. Do not pass go, do not collect $200...

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

Shit like that is why I quit drinking lol

Neon_Carnivore@kbin.social · 4 pts · 2y

I quit smoking for the same reason. Shit's too expensive.

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

Arenas are the worst for that. Paid $14 for one at Intrust last Saturday.

They do have a thing where you can order your concessions through Doordash and get a notification when it's ready, though. Which is nice.

@ElBarto
@Lynchy

Noticed you guys on other wrestling mags and wanted to invite you all here (not this discussion thread but more the sub itself). Hope to see some of you guys around.

TellumSiege@kbin.social · 5 pts · 2y

That Hook/OC tag match would be a great time to bring back Danhausen...

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

Why won't she just turn and quit teasing me?!?

GeekFTW@kbin.social · 5 pts · 2y

It's called edging and it's a well respected practice.

TellumSiege@kbin.social · 5 pts · 2y

Gotta say, I like the Gunns new ring gear.

Travon333@kbin.social · 5 pts · 2y (4 replies)

WTF just happened

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

I don't know, but it's making me think the masked man could be Joe...

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

The times we've seen a full body shot of the devil he's been too small to be Joe

TellumSiege@kbin.social · 5 pts · 2y

True. But maybe Joe has a shorter twin called Smalloa Joe.

I'll see myself out...

Montagge@kbin.social · 5 pts · 2y

ADDDAAAAMMM is so over with me I feel compelled to buy the shirt

TellumSiege@kbin.social · 5 pts · 2y

The great thing is that there are so many Adam's in AEW that he can say it to half the roster 😂

TellumSiege@kbin.social · 5 pts · 2y

I hope the youngest men alive go easy on old man Stink

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

Starting off with the title match... Nice.

TellumSiege@kbin.social · 5 pts · 2y

Pretty good match too

Travon333@kbin.social · 5 pts · 2y (1 reply)

Toni gets a fangirl and a butler

GeekFTW@kbin.social · 5 pts · 2y

RJ was lucky the camera wasn't pulled back further by the end of the interview lol.

Loving this angle so far.

TellumSiege@kbin.social · 5 pts · 2y

I hope MJF and Garcia have another dance off

TellumSiege@kbin.social · 5 pts · 2y

Anyone think Cool Hand or Daddy Magic cost Garcia the match?

Travon333@kbin.social · 5 pts · 2y (2 replies)

Jay starting to cut deeper and deeper as we approach Full Gear

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

I must've missed the graph he was talking about. Some kinda Google stats I guess?

Montagge@kbin.social · 5 pts · 2y

Yeah, last week he told Jay to go look at Google search numbers

TellumSiege@kbin.social · 5 pts · 2y

Solid match between Max/Garcia. Those seventeen minutes flew by.

Montagge@kbin.social · 5 pts · 2y

Nick Wayne dark match before the show

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

From a certain angle the ramp looks like marbled beef to me.

Montagge@kbin.social · 5 pts · 2y

Makes a guy hungry

TellumSiege@kbin.social · 5 pts · 2y

I've missed Red Velvet. I think she has a ton of potential.

TellumSiege@kbin.social · 5 pts · 2y

Mariah and Toni seem like they'll make a solid team. Assuming that's where this is going.

Travon333@kbin.social · 5 pts · 2y (5 replies)

I like the Gunns

Montagge@kbin.social · 5 pts · 2y

It hurts to boo them

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

Same. I thought they were nothing more than nepo/crony hires at first but they've proven they're a lot more than that.

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

100% nepo hires at first, but I definitely feel they also earned the opportunity afterwards just based on what they did during the pandemic. All the extra stuff they did in the audience, helping make the shows feel more alive in the time when having no audience was killing shit, they helped make the shows a lot more entertaining. Now it's paying off with BCG giving them the 'serious' rub.

Also loving the mic work off em both tonight.

TellumSiege@kbin.social · 4 pts · 2y

Yeah, their mic work is really improving. They've been great the few times they've been on commentary too.

Travon333@kbin.social · 5 pts · 2y

They play that part of their perception up so much too

Montagge@kbin.social · 5 pts · 2y

That match was fucking good and my throat is ruined already

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

Why, Joe? You could have had both!

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

I guess he's hungry but like not that hungry
