Poor Roddy just trying to put Orange on notice

[–] [email protected] 5 points 10 months ago (1 children)

🥲 Nice to see the little guys win

BCG should unify titles with the Acclaimed

[–] [email protected] 5 points 10 months ago (1 children)

It's about damn time BCG gets some gold. I still want Jay to get a singles title though...

[–] [email protected] 5 points 10 months ago

Yeah I'm hoping Juice will slot into the Trios when he's healthy

[–] [email protected] 5 points 10 months ago (2 children)

Joe really choked him out when Hook wouldn't stay down

[–] [email protected] 5 points 10 months ago (2 children)

Yep. Kind of a small victory for Hook.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 10 months ago

This whole thing feels like a big inflection point for Hook.

He pretty much got mauled and intimated he sees Hangman as a competitor

[–] [email protected] 4 points 10 months ago

he did give two fingers up

[–] [email protected] 4 points 10 months ago

And the sonofabitch still got up afterwards and demanded more.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 10 months ago

Hard to say who'll win between Top Flight/PP. But I'm going with PP via shenanigans.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 10 months ago (1 children)

Wait does this mean Roddys neck related feats of greatness were all just a ruse

[–] [email protected] 5 points 10 months ago

There's no way. You can't fake a neck injury. It's impossible.

Swerve is a menace

Looks like he hasn't slept in days thinking about Super villain shit

[–] [email protected] 5 points 10 months ago

Dude had more mascara than an emo band 😂

[–] [email protected] 5 points 10 months ago

hi my name is katy and i miss "from noRtH cArOLiNa... keNNY OOOOO-MEGA" so bad. i want my kenny omega back. blobcat, notlikethiscry

[–] [email protected] 5 points 10 months ago (2 children)

i legitimately have no idea how wwe or triple h saw nothing in swerve and let him go.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 10 months ago

Completely agree. In a few years, he might be to AEW what Mox is today.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 10 months ago

aew and making me cry in december and january can u not? 😭

[–] [email protected] 5 points 10 months ago (1 children)

Sorry gang, little late to the party but YES FENIX IS BACK!

[–] [email protected] 3 points 10 months ago

And Chucky T!

[–] [email protected] 5 points 10 months ago

I love that the AEW roster has a lucha section

[–] [email protected] 5 points 10 months ago (1 children)

Toni's so damn good lmfao

[–] [email protected] 5 points 10 months ago

a damn queen <3

[–] [email protected] 5 points 10 months ago

I guess that's Quin's cardio for the day 😂

[–] [email protected] 5 points 10 months ago (1 children)

Nick is kill

[–] [email protected] 4 points 10 months ago

d-e-d, dead.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 10 months ago (2 children)

So is it just me, or is Sting's last match going to be vs. Young Bucks simultaneously cosplaying Mustache Vince? Sweet catharsis awaits...

[–] [email protected] 5 points 10 months ago (1 children)

That's awesome. I didn't even think it could be a play on the Vince 'stache.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 10 months ago

The promo made it click, I think. Nick's stache is a much better imitation than Matt's lol

[–] [email protected] 4 points 10 months ago

The Bucks are trying to run a company. They aren't asking Sting to do anything they wouldn't do themselves

[–] [email protected] 5 points 10 months ago* (last edited 10 months ago)

😂😂😂Matt Sydal actually doing exactly what OC thinks a challenge to him is

[–] [email protected] 5 points 10 months ago

the queen of the ring vs the queen of the uk

[–] [email protected] 5 points 10 months ago* (last edited 10 months ago)

a give toni the emmy

b i hope the match is wrestled with toni on luther's shoulders

[–] [email protected] 5 points 10 months ago (1 children)

Matthew and Nicholas Buck have grown up and totally the most mature people in the room

[–] [email protected] 4 points 10 months ago

From the tears of Briscoe, to having to listen to the bucks be smarmy. What a show lmao.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 10 months ago (1 children)

😇 Blessed to have the Face of TNT on TBS

[–] [email protected] 4 points 10 months ago (1 children)

if tnt on twitter (or w/e it's called today) is still posting, i hope they add "christian cage is our ~~champion~~ daddy" to their bio.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 10 months ago* (last edited 10 months ago)

https://imgur.com/a/4qEKBCO Well close enough lol

[–] [email protected] 4 points 10 months ago (1 children)

I'm hoping for an eventual unification match for the Trios titles.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 10 months ago

Seems to be what they're gearing towards.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 10 months ago

Hook hooked up.

I guess like Hogan hulking up.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 10 months ago

I really enjoyed that Hook/Joe match. Hook's got such a unique style about him.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 10 months ago (1 children)

Caught the show but couldn't comment as I was playing Stardew Valley with a friend that's been having a hard time.

Several matches tonight had no business being as good as they were. Shocked by the ROH 6 man title change. Now can they please be defended on ROH?!?

Toni is the best! Absolutely smashing it out of the park with everything she's doing!

We finally get Top Flight vs Private Party!!! Uhhhhhh yeah!

[–] [email protected] 5 points 10 months ago (1 children)

We're hopefully getting a unification and BCG has all the gold while silently retiring the ROH titles

[–] [email protected] 3 points 10 months ago

and hopefully as we get closer to the summer we'll see bullet club and bullet club gold interact :')

[–] [email protected] 3 points 10 months ago

it's wild how austin and colten gunn are the two coolest and most over acts in aew right now and i'm glad i'm along for the ride.
