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.

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

[–] [email protected] 4 points 8 months ago (2 children)

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.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 8 months ago (2 children)

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.

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

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.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 8 months ago (1 children)

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

[–] [email protected] 3 points 8 months ago

bahaha it's funny cause it's true.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 8 months ago

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

[–] [email protected] 4 points 8 months ago (1 children)

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

[–] [email protected] 3 points 8 months ago

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

[–] [email protected] 4 points 8 months ago (3 children)

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

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

[–] [email protected] 4 points 8 months ago (7 children)

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

Where were these guys when Christian handled Copeland last week

[–] [email protected] 3 points 8 months ago

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

[–] [email protected] 3 points 8 months ago (1 children)

Claudio coming into frame like Mongo in Blazing Saddles

[–] [email protected] 3 points 8 months ago (1 children)

Such a good movie

[–] [email protected] 3 points 8 months ago

Sounds like my post-AEW morning is settled!

[–] [email protected] 3 points 8 months ago

Renee doing her best impression of Excalibur there.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 8 months ago

Loved the way Bennett sold that Orange Punch.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 8 months ago

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

[–] [email protected] 3 points 8 months ago (3 children)

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

Sting is going to wreck the bucks

[–] [email protected] 3 points 8 months ago

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.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 8 months ago (2 children)

Christian is the best vet AEW has signed.

We should've known they would need more than 20 minutes to fight

[–] [email protected] 3 points 8 months ago

Gonna need a full 60

[–] [email protected] 3 points 8 months ago (2 children)

Remember: Dax is bald.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 8 months ago

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

[–] [email protected] 3 points 8 months ago

But is he strapped?

[–] [email protected] 3 points 8 months ago (1 children)

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

[–] [email protected] 3 points 8 months ago

Been an RVD mark since day 1 of ECW on TNN when the first match was RVD vs Jerry Lynn!

[–] [email protected] 3 points 8 months ago

nobody:

christian cage: oh yeah i forgot your dad is dead

[–] [email protected] 3 points 8 months ago (1 children)

The next Fight Forever DLC better have dick punches in it. So many low blows lately lol

[–] [email protected] 3 points 8 months ago (1 children)

Probably cost $3.99

[–] [email protected] 3 points 8 months ago

Only on a steam sale lol

[–] [email protected] 3 points 8 months ago (1 children)

Just saying Mathew and Nicholas have been described as modern day Flairs and the corporate synergy with Woo would be top notch

Will Flair swerve us by finally not turning on Sting?

[–] [email protected] 3 points 8 months ago

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.
