Holy shit that submission from Deonna looked diabolical!!!
Yeah that looked insane lol. And props to Taya for being that flexible.
Is "The Ocho" a reference to the amount of NDA's or times Jericho has attached himself to someone so he can stay relevant?
It's how many times he thanked god that Vince took the heat off of him
That's good shit pal
Holy shit that robe on Taya and Johnny being the himbo hype man!
Looked damn good!
No fans have never been asking for this match.
I'll have you know it's been on my vision board for years!
Who the hell made that gear for Fletcher? It's the least flattering thing I've seen since Bastion Booger. Sometimes it looks like pantyhose sometimes it's a shade of vomit with a curious red streak on the rear.....
Yeah I'm replying to myself but I think I nailed it, Fletcher's gear reminds me of a dirty bandaid.
Dirty band-aid's good. Especially that elbow pad.
It's got nothing on when FTR came out in white bottoms that looked like diapers lol
Eh. Those looked dumb at first, but they became amazing once they were soaked in blood.
There's no way to fix this.
lol when he first came out I thought he looked naked
It's hideous! I mean I wasn't a fan of the green power ranger themed stuff that Aussie Open wore but this is a major downgrade.
I don't need to repeat what you all have said since ya summed it up nice but I'm just throbbing it out there that I'm putting these near Shawn Michaels shit-brown trunks he wore that 1 time in terms of crap looking gear.
Edit: throwing...just throwing it out there. Fuck.
😂 They definitely threatened to hold Renee's paycheck if she didn't do this
Toa impressed the hell out of me. That was a pretty solid match imo.
I legit thought it was going to be an upset after that deadeye, he looked great especially in that spot.
In kayfabe I can't figure out why the bang bang scissor gang came out lol
Agreed. I'm not complaining about the appearance, but it didn't really set anything up lol
The Undisputed Kingdom fucked them over and slightly outnumbered them separately.
The only way the Acclaimed convinced BCG is by appealing to their egos and promising them gold.
With that being said, I don't trust Jay at all
Wise lol
That's rough having to choose between Jay and Adam Cole
So how long until the Bang Bang Scissor Gang breaks my heart?
Probably Revolution 😭
Looks like Rock Card was under there too lol
just commenting to say that taya vs deonna was amazing! i love seeing how much more time the division is getting and how much they're shining!
also whenever the camera is on toni it should go black and white. like not even different cameras just make her black and white while everything else is in colour. :)
I would love if she just keeps going down the spiral and eventually on a match where she loses the title she comes out on Grey make up, and as it wears off in the match she just loses her mind and then the title and she's left in the middle of the ring stripped of everything she was.
(I love the character, and I think when it's time to retire the gimmick it deserves to be a spectacle).
Interesting ideas, I assume you work for the trades because Toni hasn't even begun to peak
She's timeless dammit
Johnny and Taya seen like a fun couple
The Bucks dropped the Vince mustaches.
It was fun until... you know...
yeaaaaah.
they should instead dress up as bg james and billy gunn when they were the voodoo kin mafia
Toni just steals the show. They're having way too much fun on commentary lol
She pulled off the when she's not on camera all of the other wrestlers should be asking where's Toni?
100%. Just leave her there for the whole episode, damnit lol.
I'm surprised commentary completely ignored the history between Deonna and Taya. They've mentioned that Deonna is a former AAA Reina de Reinas champion and I figured tonight they would have mentioned that Taya beat her for the title.
I'm surprised they didn't bring that up--it was on their website at least. But I'm not surprised they didn't mention their TNA history :/
AEW tends to drop the ball on that, but maybe it's a legal thing
I couldn't help but notice how hard they're trying with the camera work to not show the low attendance.
If I read correctly (and keep in mind I'm dumber than tits on Saturn's rings so grains of salt & such), this was the last show (or one of) involving the decisions of the old live events VP (the one who left a month or so ago, who was booking bigger venues than needed/following WWE's shows around on a 4-12 week delay) so fingers crossed going forward next week we'll have things starting to be looking better in that regard.
I think they're doing an okay job at making it seem filled. But it does look darker than usual.
What are the bets on TKs announcement next week?
Serious answer: Maybe Mone? Feels like AEW needs to debut her ASAP if she's signed. They need the press.
Joke answer: Valentines Day is coming up and his parents love Valentines Day so much that has dad already bought roses for his mom.
I would assume Mone would debut at Revolution
Safe bet at this point.
I'd be down for either of those lol
Everybody trying to die in New Orleans tonight
The whole fucking show!!!
Yeah he's gassed. Damn near killed himself there jesus
Mox putting Jeff in the sideways 69
RVD spamming his taunt lol
RVD thinks real life is a video game lol
RVDs moveset is still sick af
When you compare him to those that he came up with, RVD moves pretty damn good
100%. I think hes said in interviews the only thing he can't do right off the cuff is his corner kicks (without a week or two of practice to get the flexibility back up) but otherwise he can still hit all of his moveset albeit a little slower due to age.
That's such a strange collection of talent to save Mox lol
😂😂😂 CMLL invasion wasnt what I had in mind
And yes, the BCC seem like snobby bullies but the locker room is looking out for them
lol I was actually wondering how they'd handle the CMLL guys being front row during the Komander match. I think I read that CMLL talent and AAA talent aren't allowed to be on screen together.
Is Komander still a AAA guy? I think he has an AEW deal, but he might be a two contract guy.
I assumed he was but I could be wrong. All I know is that I hope he's in AEW full-time because I love the guy.
Signed back in April https://www.fightful.com/wrestling/komander-comments-aew-signing-years-work-be-here. Still working for AAA in some capacity but he last year had twice the AEW matches as he did AAA (and not counting all the other indies).
The Bucks are such good EVPs
Agreed. I love that they're finally taking their roles seriously.
And did Nicholas say Matthews middle name was Ron Jon? lol I couldn't catch it.
Lol yes Nicholas Lee and Matthew Ron Jon Jackson
lmao that's too funny.
Making sure everyone is doing what they should!
Damn Swerve/Hangman next week? I'm in.
Hell yeah. Next week is going to be awesome.
The card is looking stacked. It's like they're trying to get eyes on it for a potential new signing or something...
I don't have time to prepare!
That was nasty! Kommander landed on his neck
if you can't get enough adam cole watch his latest vod for ff16 when he does the bahamut fight because it's 2 hours of wholesome adam cole
Got home just in time for Kommander to be sacrificed to Wardlow
That's MISTER Wardlow!
Guns Scissoring, how can you not have a good time?
They're so over. It was a bit of a strange appearance though. They just came out hyped up the crowd and left 😂
And yet it still worked lol
i really love how however a cardboard cutout is. it's what juice deserves.<3
As long as you don't run with them!
If Wardlow is injured this whole group is cursed
@Travon333 @TellumSiege I had the exact same thought. You could see him cussing after, hitting the steps and limping after the match. He either became a great seller over night or he’s injured. It might out a storyline in jeopardy or delay it. Bummer.
Hard to say but it doesn't look good 😬
Hopefully just a stinger
Seems to be ok, least according to himself.

Edit: Possibly not per WON:
I know he won't but it'd be smart for Jericho to lose this.
I was hoping Fletcher would go over. It's time for Jericho to acknowledge that it's his time to put over mid card talent.
It's past time
Is it just me or is Jericho gassed already
I'm become I'm becoming
NDA
NDA in my mind
"Someone's pissed in my seat!"
Is this the start of a CMLL invasion angle?
Quite possibly. They entered into a working agreement last week.
"Mustache" lol
Toa treating a can of Wooooo energy the way everyone should
The crowd needs to make up for the lack of Nana
Was gonna say, no Nana?! I protest!
Lol who did Komander piss off?
lol I wonder if OC will save him from a post match ass kicking?
If Roddy also has to put Orange on notice for March 3rd then so be it
That's what I'm thinking. Maybe a set-up for an OC/Komander vs. Roddy/Wardlow match soon.
Taz always simps for Don
It reminds me of Bobby Heenan and it's one of the many reasons I love Taz.
Because he has good taste in hotdog men
