Could be louder that's for sure. Should explode for MJF though...and the Edge/Christian match.

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!

Travon333,

Lethal still taking the fall without his crew

Briscoe being the Golden Retriever between the BCC and Garcia

Travon333,

Danielson is such an effortless dickhead

Edging us on seeing Garcias hips

Surprised Willow took that.

Travon333,

Lol you and me both, I caught the finish

Could Kris be getting Big Stoke and a push to the World Championship

TellumSiege,

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?

Travon333,

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.

When did Statlander get misted?! lol

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.

@csm10495@sh.itjust.works avatar

Holy shit I forgot that Statlander wasn’t still TBS champion. Well my comment still applies but don’t think about it yet.

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%

Did they say it on the preshow? Anything to not give us this match. See ya next year!

TellumSiege,

Yeah they mentioned it on the pre-show. Apparently Lee has an injury.

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.

TellumSiege,

For sure.

And I've seen that message more times than I haven't today. It's gonna be a rough one tonight.

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 :)

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.

TellumSiege,

Story-wise it makes sense they were the devil/henchmen. But it still kind of feels like a letdown.

Montagge,

Only let down for me was I was hoping Kyle O'Reilly would be one of them

MJF will never trust again!
