It's Wednesday and you know what that means! Posting isn't as painful as it has been!
FINALLY! And boosting and upvoting seems okay too (minus the not being green yet).
I need that green back asap lol.
Me too, man. Me too.
😂 Maybe Roddy should've kept the wheelchair
Unlegged faction name?
Disabled Kingdom
lmao that wheelchair deserved better.
I think this should be a good group for Wardlow to be in. It should help him a lot.
I'm ready for storytime with Adam Cole Bay Bay
He's not wrong! He created face MJF. He killed face MJF
I loved every second of Dynamite tonight. I want Queen Aminata to be signed, she is great and fine af. Darby vs Take was legit insane. Fired up Hangman I love it. This was much better than last week.
I think she's signed with ROH
Freelancer. Only wrestled 1 match for ROH/3 for AEW in 2023.
I could swear she's wrestled more than once for ROH but I'm probably in need of more coffee
We all are, but I've also been hitting the bong pretty hard for...8h straight so maybe I'll go grab 2 lol.
😂😂😂 OK I think I love Mariah May
Shes so fake nice and her inner bitch has slowly been coming out more and more
Same man. I loved her delivery of "tell her yourself bitch" lmao
Where are the Gunns?!? I want my Bang Bang Gang, or at least the healthy ones!
That's what I get for being impatient lol
The Gunns are cocked and loaded bay bay. Wish Juice was healthy though :(
Hopefully it wont be long before we can get a squeeze!
PPV over so new season of AEW basically. It'll be interesting to see who's booked in this cycle/getting TV time
No MJF this season too
Not for a while, but if you really think he's gone for good, I have a bridge in Brooklyn you might be interested in.
Nah. Definitely not gone for good. I'd put money on a couple of PPVs at least.
Same, and for the best. Love our scumbag but let him rest, let others come in and set up more stories in his absence.
It's time for a Ser Pentico title run!
He's definitely re-signed. The only question is for how long.
It'd be nice if they featured Jericho more. /s
Only if he main events against Flair
Or against Sting at Revolution
Where he beats Sting with a surprise roll-up
The surprise is it's a fruit roll-up.
A feast!
I'm still hoping it's Sting vs Darby at Revolution. Proper torch passing and everything.
Agreed. That would be great.
Honestly, for pure morbid spectacle, I'd watch it.
And then have a very long cry in the shower.
They don't make water hot enough to wash that away!
Christian is an S tier gaslighter but Luchasaurus has to be catching on
He definitely is. I'm still wondering what Christian said to him to get him to hand over the TNT title shot.
Wonder if he brought up Marko Stunt again.
That Mother Wayne would slap his bottom.
They do say a mother's work is never done
Just wish the audience was more appreciative and didn't boo a mother
I really wish the Continental Classic belt wasn't defendable and you just held it until the next tournament
Yeah if there's one thing AEW doesn't need it's more belts.
If it was going to do another belt it should have been a women's title at least
Definitely. The only other belt I'd be okay with is that belt I made a thread about months ago...a "top prospects" belt for wrestlers 25 and under or so.
Yeah same. I thought it would be more of an accolade and not another non world men's title
An accolade would've made way more sense. Just give him bragging rights for a year or something.
We better get another tournament this year!
But then it isn't really a triple crown.
Tbh it should have been the International title.
AEW (read: Tony Khan) needs to be told (read: smacked in the face 30-40 times with a fucking stillson wrench) until he realizes the physical prize for a tournament is a trophy, not a title belt.
Have Punk attack him until he gets the message lol
i believe its called a championship cummerbund
Vindication!
seriously tho tony make a new halloween heist tradition episode of dynamite where the winner gets an amazing human/genius championship cummerbund would be amazing. like it's a mad mad mad mad world/b99 style.
FACE BANG BANG GANG!
Antihero I would think lol
I'll take it. I can't boo those boys no matter what lol
Lol I understand. I'm a shameless Jay mark
His Karen watches wrestling video on him sold me on him before AEW
Ditto!
Me either!
🔫 👆
Lol I'm doubtful but nice crossover I didn't think of. The Gunns run into their Dad and the Acclaimed again with their new slimy friend
Alright Renee, keep it PG.
Forfeit the title? Adam Cole is in danger
Mjf and wardlow are gonna join forces at some point
Please no, although if anyone could turn that goofy story into gold it would be MJF
Dance off! This is why I watch wrestling lol
This Mariah May.....
Doc Sampson is a cop confirmed
I think he's more qualified to be a cop than he is a doctor lol
And thus most cops.
Closed the loop on Wardlow/Joe already
Putting Joe on notice after business is done
Idk if Wardlow is going to hand over the championship though
Yeah I don't see how that benefits Wardlow. Didn't he do something similar for MJF?
There's no way they have Wardlow taking the belt from Joe. So that begs the question what story are they telling here?
I mean Wardlow can't be completely dumb muscle and Adam Cole is injured. If Wardlow wins I expect him to hey kicked out for a returning Kyle O'Reilly
Cole has already shown his tunnel vision by making enemies out of the Acclaimed/Daddy Ass, Bang Bang Gang and I'm guessing Hangman in a few weeks
Yeah I think Wardlow will be a short term member of the group
I feel like the facials he was making was very much, I'm in this group as long as it benefits me and not a moment longer
I could see it. I think Wardlow just needs a solid mouthpiece or something. Not sure who though.
Jake Roberts
I don't think it's a mouthpiece problem - the guy is a meh promo rather than bad, imo - it's a "you have no character" problem. It's the same problem that Roddy had until, well, now. The massive difference being that Roddy has been an incredible wrestler for the best part of the last 15 years.
But while Wardlow is a great body guy, and extremely athletic for someone his size, he's still green in terms of character and wrestling storytelling. In a company where your character isn't scripted to the nth degree, he's struggling to be more than that. Hobbs has the same issue, although I'm more interested in what he's tried to do, even if it failed, than I have been with Wardlow.
I think it's great that TK is willing to let people grow and improve - he clearly sees a lot of potential in Wardlow - but really he would probably benefit the most from a year long run in RoH, where his goal is to find his character.
Yeah, he kinda smirked when Cole said he'd forfeit the title. Like "That'll be the day."
Acclaimed and Gunns?! Man, everyone here has history / beef lol.
More beef than McDs!
Can't tell if Alex is a wrestling manager or a cyclist in the tour du France.
First one and then the other
i just watched adam play ff16 on twitch and it's hard to watch him call us stupid after seeing him squee over clive and jill :^
He's such a wholesome nerd
Swerve is the boss of bosses? Mercedes Mone in the Mogul Embassy confirmed.
The Mone Embassy
Nice dropkick by Mariah. Damn.
That was stiff!
The Stardom way (or so I hear).
I need to get around to watching Stardom
No better time!
3 years worth of wrestling experience crammed into 9 months in Stardom! It pays off.
This episode has been moving fast so far. Lots going on.
It's Episode 1 man. I feel like TK always shoves alot of crumbs for who we'll be seeing leading up to the next PPV
He does for sure!
Dante with the"where the hell you going"
lol love it! (for lemmy)
Takeshita's such a beast. There's another guy who should have a huge 2024
Dude has a ceiling up in the clouds!
Cage just threw Vinkigo by his head

Samoa Joe is being called out and Swerve feels like he's just as sadistic as Joe
Swerve might be more lol
Y'ALL ON NOTICE! MOTHER FUCKING MARQ QUINN IS BACK!!!!
Been a long damn while!
UHHHH YEAH!
Orange HookHausen is an interesting crew
😂😂 Toni is pulling shoe tricks now
Picturing Toni and Luther practicing that made me laugh even harder
Scoop!
DEONNA HOLY SHIT!!!
Does she usually look so.....snooki? Older pics make her look more like Saraya.
Not usually. I think it was just the Jersey in her coming out lol.
I think that was the outfit and/or makeup
She def turned up the Jersey a bit in her attitude, but mostly the makeup/outfit/hair.
Already signed too!
So excited. The Virtuosa really is.
I just hope the plan isn't for her to lose to Toni and then get stuck in catering or something. I'd like to see her team with Britt maybe (apparently they're good friends).
Her, Britt, and Jamie would be a killer faction!
Hell yeah!
Adam Cole
"The Devil"
something about that nameplate makes me giggle
excuse me excalibur but christian is a three time tnt champion
It's been an admittingly long reign, so I guess it could feel like he's won it 3x already
A long but good reign
Good game butt slap
I love those little "...ok now I gotta kill this cunt.." moments lol.
Damn what a counter. Darby just flew into Take's knee.
Absolutely bonkers
Idk why we need replays. Christian was TNT champ last Dynamite and he's still TNT champion this week
Fantastic show tonight. They reality laid some great ground work for the coming year.
Tough to tell who's gonna win this one. I'm going with Take though.
I don't know that Darby is going to live to the end at this rate lol
That knee. Those rolling suplexes. He might live but his neck won't.
I hurt from those lol
Christian is proof that sometimes the good guys do win
He over came the odds
Taz gushing over Don Callis as everyone gets disgusted never gets old
It's nearing Nigel and "Christy-on" levels of gushing.
Wait, how do you guys say it?
"Chris-chin" but I love Nigel's version.
This is why we left you to your swamp. ^_^
Taz just has unconventional tastes in men
😂😂😂 Schiavone being punished by having to work with Don and Christian in one night
He knows what he did!

God damn I hate these shit third party companies
Garcia is gonna lose tonight. But this should be a big year for him.
He's over as hell! Hopefully they have some good storylines for him.
It'll be interesting to see if they keep him with Daddy Magic or not. He and Ang might be a bit too goofy for Garcia going forward.
Oh no Danny!
I blame those damn Wooooo energy cans
If it'll make them go away I will too
Love that Swerve always wins if he hits one JML driver, 1 swerve stomp and 1 house call
It's nice he has a combo finisher
Alternate reality dusty is amazing we must protect him from hard times daddy.
lol it took me way too long to see him.
Buddy Mathews will replace your daughter
Tea Parties will never Be The same!!
Takeshita with progressively more brutal Germans before the fuck you knee
First Brody now Swerve. Daddy Magic can't catch a break on commentary.
Everybody wants a piece of Daddy Magic
except ruby
Uh oh. Cowboy shit going down!
Poor Killswitch

rofl

being that i love womens wrestling more than anything it warms my heart to see how much more time they're getting lately. this womens division in aew is amazing and i love to see them riding high.

I think shes doing her own thing with 2 Dimes and Griff Garrison in ROH
