For some reason, I don't trust Adam Cole one bit
I bet the devil mask is hiding in his pocket.
You called it!
Winner winner chicken dinner!
Some sort of inanimate metal rod
Technically correct
Swerve has to be AEW champ soon
They better give him gold soon!
Agreed. If Joe wins tonight it might take awhile for him to get it though. Maybe MJF wins and Swerve takes it off him at the next PPV? Maybe sooner?
Should be a damn good way to close out the year!
I hope you all are working on resolving the issues. Over the next few days, there will be a change in server infrastructure. Temporary problems with the website's functionality may occur during this time.
For sure.
And I've seen that message more times than I haven't today. It's gonna be a rough one tonight.
Breaking: Keith Lee is out. It's Swerve vs. Dustin Rhodes now.
That's a shame about Keith, but I hope he can heal up to 100%
Boo :( Understandable given the tweet he put out, but boo :(
Did they say it on the preshow? Anything to not give us this match. See ya next year!
Yeah they mentioned it on the pre-show. Apparently Lee has an injury.

Ah they just said it.
SERENA!!
School is back in session!
Is it just me or is the crowd dead?
Could be louder that's for sure. Should explode for MJF though...and the Edge/Christian match.
Surprised Willow took that.
Lol you and me both, I caught the finish
Could Kris be getting Big Stoke and a push to the World Championship
Looked like Kris wanted to stay down for the first three count. The ref stalled before counting three.
That's be a great match. I love Stat but she could use a mouthpiece, and who better than Stoke?
Yeah it was def a botch that turned into a funky gut wrench.
I don't know, last time Stoke managed wrestlers, it didn't go well.
😂😂😂 Brody calling Daddy Magic a bitch as Jay laughs and gets some cheap shots in
Daddy Magic is a bitch
On the one team, I can't believe the only one who hasn't been mired in a sexual harassment/assault controversy is the guy who wrestled in the 80's.
The world doesn't make sense sometimes
WWE is fake lol
This is spooky!
Great minds think alike!
Eddie did it!
Ringing the bell before Copeland could get up is a new low for officiating.
These men are 50 lol
Gonna feel like 80 after this match.
What does Christian have on Luchasaurus?!?
Based on the second season of Primal, I'm guessing he has his dinosaur eggs.
When did Statlander get misted?! lol
Guess Ill leave post show comments
Garcia getting the pin on Lethal was nice, covers alot of bases. Lethal keeps losing. Garcia gets some more momentum and steals another one. Danielson and Claudio have to respect that he got them the win
Inject Jay vs Danielson in my veins
With Andrade leaving, Miro makes sense. I'm interested to see where this goes. Does Miro move on to the ME scene or will his wife distract him with more fuckery
Mariah May is definitely going to end up hitting Toni with the Rose Petal bucket
Swerve is a star and the fantasy booked Swerve vs Ospreay at Wembley sounds amazing
Could've done without the second 8 man but Sting wins and Sammy pinned Ricky so Big Bill and Ricky should be concerned
Happy Julia won, maybe Willow is next but I want her to be the next TBS champ and Julia should have a decent reign
Idk what dirt Christian has on Killswitch or how he's managed to takeover the Wayne family but he manages to always leave an unsavory feeling about everything he does
Kingston gets his moment and beats Mox. The BCC may also have to put some respect on his name as well. Also Danielson/Mox cheering for each other BCC members on commentary is kind of cute considering how violent they are to everyone else
MJF finally loses and it was him wanting to cheat and trusting Adam that led to it. Cole also redid the Wardlow spot where he forgot which pocket the ring was in. It makes sense. Cole talked him into that match with Samoa Joe. MJF went from barely wrestling to pulling double duty some nights with the ROH Tag Titles. Wardlow hates his guts and of course Roddy would go along with his best friends Adam's plan. Cole also won the Owen by beating Joe so he's the perfect guy to make a deal with
MJF is taking time off but his world really ended tonight. No fiance, no ROH Tag Titles, no AEW title, no best friend and he doesn't even have the Acclaimed either
Glad Nigel could make it back out here for Christians match
He's not going to miss his crush's match
He's such a shameless simp for Christian
That's gimmick infringement!
lol I think that was a gore not a spear
Dustin: "Come on mother fucker!"
Somewhere Bryan just took the lid off the swear jar.
PPVs don't count!
Rapid Hydretti 😂
I like that this match isn't just babyface vs heels.
poking in since it was quiet in lemmy squaredcircle and i didn't think anyone was watching :D
also mariah may should interact with harley cameron
That would be a great pairing lol.
And it's quiet here too but totally understandable. These Kbin issues have been a mess today.
I'm having a hard time getting posts to go through. To the point I gave up because I was spending more time trying to post than watch the PPV lol
Dude, I don't blame you. I'm having the same problems.
I'm just hoping they get fixed soon. Hopefully by Wednesday.
Hopefully federation is actually working now and I can tell y'all what I thought.
The in ring action was fantastic as usual, but (with the exceptions of Kingston winning the Classic and Julia Hart retaining) pretty much every major booking decision left a really bad taste in my mouth. The TNT title finish just seemed to invalidate the entire match, and making Cole the Devil was both the most predictable result and the one I least wanted to see. Not to mention, MJF losing the title clean as a sheet before it all went down just really, really sucked.
EDIT: Apparently MJF is going to take time off to heal up and play up the bidding war story, so I guess him losing the title makes sense. Still, if they were going to pay off the Devil storyline, they probably should have had the Devil crew involved in the finish.
Gotta break a few eggs to make an omelette?
Abaddon doesn't have patience for interference tomfoolery
keith lee i hope ur happy you did this (obvs j/k i only mean in kayfabe)
He won with a slap. Wow.
Hell I've seen someone get slapped hard enough they got knocked out for a lot longer than a 3 count lol
It's so weird to bring Keith Lee back, announce a match, to say he's injured and cancel the match.
Idk it seems really sloppy on TK's part.
Hard to know who to blame. Lee looked pretty good against Shane Taylor two weeks ago. If he was hurt he probably should've said something sooner. The jaded cynic in me thinks he heard he was gonna lose clean to Swerve and maybe backed out...

Indeed thank you Sting
Fuck yeah Eddie!
I thought he'd win tonight, but I can't believe he won the tournament. Did not see that coming when the tourny was announced.
The man deserves it he's over as hell!
Can't argue there!
Atta boy Garcia! Had him getting the pinfall in my predictions sheet. I think 2024 is gonna be a big year for him. Give that man a strap!
Lethal still taking the fall without his crew
Briscoe being the Golden Retriever between the BCC and Garcia
lol Briscoe's so much like a golden retriever they should cast him as the next Air Bud lmao
Danielson is such an effortless dickhead
Edging us on seeing Garcias hips
This really should've been a ladder match.
I could watch Eddie and Mox wrestle each other every week
I really like this set, with the way the LED "Doorway" is used.
These gun shot chops!
I'll be that guy: we don't need the TBS title. There isn't enough spotlight on the women for it to make sense. I guess we can add a spotlight, but where we are now: this title is extraneous.
Holy shit I forgot that Statlander wasn't still TBS champion. Well my comment still applies but don't think about it yet.
This is spooky!
🫠🫠 Christian still managed to walk out TNT champion
Can anything stop the greatest father figure to have ever existed?
Lol Don Callis' shenanigans never feels very well thought out

Story-wise it makes sense they were the devil/henchmen. But it still kind of feels like a letdown.
Only let down for me was I was hoping Kyle O'Reilly would be one of them
I'm not sure how I feel after that. I'm torn, because whilst basically all my predictions were wrong, I got 4/5 on the Devil and Hencemen!
As others have said, I'm worried for Ricky and Bill after a pretty clean pin by Sammy of all people.
Luchasaurus won. @ItsWizardTime called it.
Gonna be interesting if Christian retains...
"this is spooky" is a late contender for chant of the year, I didn't think anything would beat "hug it out".
It's definitely up there! My vote goes to those "meat" chants from the Miro and Hobbs match at All Out.
Looking forward to this one. Always love to see Julia do her thing, and same for Abadon. The battle of the spooky chicks will be one for the ages.
i'm interested to know why adam seemingly cut a deal with samoa joe before world's end but i'm sure that will be explained. i just wish kyle would have been back for this... or maybe friendship with adam cole is over, kyle o'reilly is my new best friend :)
unpopular opinion but andrade is just the worst ;__;
Yeah, sounds like he can't wait to go back to WWE :/
(in case anyone is here, federation of comments between Lemmy and kbin seems messed up atm.. there are more comments on the kbin side)
Was that an F5?! lol
Heck yeah. Brock to AEW (not) confirmed.
It's rare that AEW makes a booking decision I detest as much as how that TNT title match ended.
At least there's a story attached to it, and since Luchasaurus is involved I have a hard time being too mad about it.
I can definitely see why someone wouldn't like it lol
I just wish it was a ladder match. I feel like that would've been more fitting given their history.
Also, it says you posted this comment post forty minutes ago and I'm just seeing it now. Everything's a mess tonight.
The federation seems to be running real slow tonight. Your reply showed up an hour later than its timestamp for me.
Damn. Hope things get sorted out soon. Kinda hard to have a live discussion thread when comments aren't appearing in real-time...
MJF will never trust again!
I really hope we find out who the devil is tonight.
I think it would be a mistake if we don't
I think he just came out with MJF lol. Calling it now, Cole screws him!
It's the balance of friendships
Mox and Eddie hugged so Cole has to turn on MJF
imagine when willow finally wins the title <3
TBS or world title? I'm thinking TBS first since she already has beef with Julia.
would love it to be the world but i like both toni and julia :(
I love CJ's catwoman look
How can you boo Bryce Remsburg lol
They were saying Boo-ryce!
yessss serina deeb <3
Damn! Takeshita just threw Darby like I threw my nephew on Christmas.
That muscle buster was brutal. Right on Max's bad shoulder too.
I winced when he hit
Bryce takes a lot of bumps lol
thank you for mourning martin with the rest of us, stokely
Samoa F'n Joe
What a vibe shift from Be Harder to Lethals butt rock macho man mashup
lol of course the hockey stick breaks. Must be composite 😂
Just noticed the "Worlds NDA" sign. Credit where credits due, that's pretty funny.
Moxley just made the money sign. Does that mean Mone interferes?!
Mone runs in and stabs Eddie in the butt while Bryan distracts the ref with scandalous poetry
Scandalous poetry about fallic penises?
Is there any other kind?
As if the fire went out lol
I like how the table flipped and put itself out lol
Didn't know this match was No DQ. Definitely not complaining though!
luther send serpentico in a suit and glove to fill in challenge
That would be awesome.
Also, this comment just appeared for me. Apparently you posted it 29 minutes ago.
I missed you guys. Federation with Lemmy/kbin is messed up right now. Signed up since comments aren't syncing.
👋
But geez every other page click is a 50X
It's been a rough few days on Kbin. Tonight seems to be the worst so far :/
