Match card:
COME ON EDDIE!
Give Eddie your energy!!!
MAKE LOVE TO ME EDDIE
No no no no not that carny POS Don Callis
📿📿📿 Up for Roddy
Aw, I wish Ian could guest commentate for this :(
Sounds like your wish was granted
Haha, yeah, I'm bad with making out voices and I realized it after I posted :P
Now we just need Mark to be ROH TV champion and Eddie to be ROH champion at the same time <3
Adam Cole drove all the way to the hospital just to tell Roddy he had to leave immediately. #TeamRoddy
#neckhealth #neckstrong
Toni is here!
With new music to match!
Her entrance is brilliant!
Damn! I wanted Toni to win but her loss makes sense for her character (descent into madness, like Excalibur said).
Just frikkin go 😭😭😭
Can't believe MJF got Joe up for that powerbomb
He looked like he weighed 15 lbs the way he was lifted and flipped
Looks like a solid few cards coming up!
Another night of great commentary, with that Mets line.
That fucking Carny piece of shit!!
Could....could Joe actually win? Am I crazy for thinking this but they just had Claudio and Mox drop their titles....
Joe beats Max tonight and injures Max's neck in the process Adam is beside himself and runs to do anything for Max who is healing well, but Adam babies him because he wasn't there when he needed him. Cole gets revenge by beating Joe for the title, but this causes a rift because Max never lost to Cole. Eventually they have another title match but it's obviously different with Cole defending.
Somewhere through this story Strong pops up and screws someone or both of em at different points.
Edited to make it more coherent
What a wild shake up that would be!
I still feel like MJF has to hold it until 2024. He literally told us his reign of terror has just begun.
You might be on to something. I'm not sure I want MJF to lose but if they're keeping him face it might make sense
Broooo is Christian finally gonna be the real TNT champion
I want him to win and don't want him to win lol. I'm not sure I want his "championship" gimmick to end.
I would assume if he wins Luchasaurus breaks away from him
Or Luchasaurus pins Christian
I don't think he's won a singles match this year. So if he does win, he's pretty much losing it immediately
That snake Don Callis!
I forgot the ramp was there on that backdrop off the apron lol
Claudio/Eddie poster:
These guys are kicking out based on pure hatred for one another
So Joe basically just never has any chill
He doesn't even get blizzards at Dairy Queen
IT'S ABOUT DAMN TIME!!
WOOOO FENIX WINS!!
There ain't no party like a cero meido party because a cero meido party has no fear!
I like to think Eddie refused to wait any second longer to fight Claudio so he got the opener
Kinda wish they would do an old school WCW type of opener where they were basically fighting right into the opening of the show.
Oh man they're opening with this match
I'm guessing Jericho wins via shenanigans. Not too sure what kind though.
I bet Sammy gets "destroyed" so he can go on paternal leave, comes back in a few months as a renewed baby face dad.
That's my guess too
Wow! A little surprised Eddie won clean. I'm guessing this feud isn't over lol
And I'm here for it!
Uh oh, Roddy is going to cause problems
How dare Roddy need his best friends emotional support
Dude is just heartbroken and needs Adam to give the bare minimum
#NeckStrong
They've done a great job letting the matches breathe this week
Lol Joe is such a psycho
Perfect for Sweet Tooth lol
The shoes!
So we're still going with Saraya :(
I'm guessing TK wants to do Saraya vs. Mone, maybe?
I think I'm just sour on her because she didn't really do any singles matches before ending up the World champ
No worries. I'm with you on that.
Adam rolling an ankle on the way lol
Paul Turners knee is looking funky too. A night of injuries
I think that one was kayfabe
Rick Knox is trying to fuck on Rey Fenix
Oh shit is Mox actually injured
I'm not sure. Mox's "Fuck you!" to Knox looked like he was just pissed Knox didn't count the three. I didn't think he was injured but I could be wrong.
I wouldn't think so with how they did the finish, but Mox is insane so who knows
Ooof. Not Sammy and Jericho's best sequence there.
That roll jump to the top rope and frog splash chef's kiss
He's so smooth
Honestly Christian is such a lowlife creep, him having a pet dinosaur tracks
Renee lurking in the background waiting for Garcia to dance
I'm always team Lucha Bros. I'd love it if one (or both!) could get a singles run.
I want to see LU Penta return. The version where he is just constantly breaking people's arms and shit.
My head canon is that Renee is the puppet master for everything, ever.
Not gonna lie. I wouldn't mind Rey winning this even though Mox hasn't had the belt that long
How can she slap?
That looked like a rough landing by Sammy 😬
It would also explain the next couple of moves being a bit funky
Yeah great point. Might be time to bring it home ;/
This is the best Dynamite ever! And I just put mozzarella cheese sticks in the oven! If anything else great happens I'm immediately going to bed because it can only go down from there!
Two clean finishes?!?
My thoughts exactly! I thought he'd be "destroyed" too.
Yet it was Jericho that was destroyed
EMOTIONALLY!!!!!
That MJF video though
We got a screecher in the crowd again
Max is worth every penny
Oooo, Takeshita and Guevara will make a fun pair.
Didn't even think about that. Good call.
😂😂 Don not gonna let his new money fuck up his future money
