It's amazing how fast the MJF killer Wardlow became this Wardblow character...

Montagge,

In his defense he was banged up.

Not in his defense he needs to quit being the unstoppable monster because that's what he's always been.

JelloBrains,

I'd agree to all that and add that MJF screwed him by disappearing, then showing up to lose, and then leaving so he couldn't continue the story.

Montagge,
@Montagge@kbin.earth avatar

I still wonder how much of that was real and how much of that was a story that didn't pan out

JelloBrains,

I wouldn't be shocked if it was an elaborate thing that went wrong, or maybe an injury situation, but it was just really odd, although that happens to sometimes.

I'm still chuffed over that 1v20 or whatever match where Wardlow was pinning 4-5 security guards at a time regardless of their physical orientation in the ring. Nothing that has come since then has made me give a monkeys nut about him and like you said, him being the unstoppable monster isn't helping.

Edit: 'meat madness' jfc they're gonna 1v20 it again aren't they rofl

Montagge,
@Montagge@kbin.earth avatar

It was silly and it entertained me, but it could have been better. It felt kind of rushed which would explain why Wardlow was pinning guards however they ended up.

Maybe meat madness will be Wardlow vs Keith Lee vs Shane Taylor vs Miro vs Powerhouse Hobbs vs Dutch vs Butcher vs JD Drake vs Toa

They’ve already announced Wardlow and Hobbs for it, so I’m guessing that’s exactly the idea. A battle royal of Big Meaty Men Slapping Meat.

GeekFTW,
GeekFTW avatar

That I'd be down for.

TellumSiege,

I'm guessing FTR takes this? Unless there's some HoB involvement...

Montagge,
@Montagge@kbin.earth avatar

I could see this going either way

@TellumSiege anyone who didn’t enjoy that FTR vs Mox and Claudio match doesn’t have a pulse.

TellumSiege,
TellumSiege avatar

Agreed. It was an awesome match. I bet the rematch will be just as good.

Montagge,
@Montagge@kbin.earth avatar

Jake Hager?

GeekFTW,
GeekFTW avatar

Didn't expect that.

Montagge,
@Montagge@kbin.earth avatar

I'm still confused why he would run out to save OC.

GeekFTW,
GeekFTW avatar

I'm sure we'll get some kinda whelming follow up on next weeks rampage or something to explain.

Montagge,
@Montagge@kbin.earth avatar

Like everything including Jake Hager

TellumSiege,
TellumSiege avatar

The ending of that match (Deonna vs. Madison) was rough. I was thinking Madison was either gassed or concussed 😬

Montagge,
@Montagge@kbin.earth avatar

Probably shouldn't have made that the move of the night

ItsWizardTime,

They’re beating Botchamania to the punch!

Montagge,
@Montagge@kbin.earth avatar

You can't hurt us, Maffew, if we hurt ourselves first

Montagge,
@Montagge@kbin.earth avatar

They already have a AD&D insurance company lol

Intuit Insurance Services Inc.

Turbo Tax: death is a tax write off.

apj2k36,

Kudos to Wardlow for powering through those what chants

Montagge,
@Montagge@kbin.earth avatar

I hate What chants

Travon333,

The few times I tune back into Smackdown/Raw it's an immediate vibe killer for me

GeekFTW,
GeekFTW avatar

They're so bad. They were amazing back in the day when Austin was leading the damn call but fuck it wasn't worth it in the long run lol.

Montagge,
@Montagge@kbin.earth avatar

It has no business going past Austin

Suavevillain,
@Suavevillain@lemmy.world avatar

Christian is the best vet AEW has signed.

TellumSiege,
TellumSiege avatar

Agreed. AEW got so much heat when they signed him but he's been so damn good. Especially with the father of the year bit.

Neon_Carnivore,
Neon_Carnivore avatar

He's out working everyone.

Travon333,

RVD fucking everyone up with crazy Kung fu shit warms my heart

GeekFTW,
GeekFTW avatar

Been an RVD mark since day 1 of ECW on TNN when the first match was RVD vs Jerry Lynn!

Every time Samoa Joe comes out, I say to my wife: “They should change his name to ‘Joe the Samoan’”

I guess that could be his one man show comedian name.

My sense of humor is so bad.

Montagge,
@Montagge@kbin.earth avatar

Just awful lol

Montagge,
@Montagge@kbin.earth avatar

Sting is going to wreck the bucks

GeekFTW,
GeekFTW avatar

He was struggling to keep it together once or twice (and not one of us could blame him given what he said), but I need to point out that was the closest Sting has ever actually sounded like The fuckin' Crow in all his years of the gimmick and I was genuinely a bit shook right there and am now quite eagerly awaiting watching Sting murder someone in the ring.

Travon333,

Will Flair swerve us by finally not turning on Sting?

GeekFTW,
GeekFTW avatar

I wanna hope yes, but I am seeing too much of Flair on tv to make me think anything else. If someone is just gonna be there to be in your corner for a match, you don't put this much effort into them appearing on tv and story-lining it. He'll be doing something and knowing Flair he's already prepping his gigs.

TellumSiege,
TellumSiege avatar

The next Fight Forever DLC better have dick punches in it. So many low blows lately lol

Montagge,
@Montagge@kbin.earth avatar

Probably cost $3.99

GeekFTW,
GeekFTW avatar

Only on a steam sale lol

Montagge,
@Montagge@kbin.earth avatar

Is there anything more beautiful than Matt Tavern getting laid out?

Montagge,
@Montagge@kbin.earth avatar

Claudio coming into frame like Mongo in Blazing Saddles

TellumSiege,
TellumSiege avatar

Such a good movie

GeekFTW,
GeekFTW avatar

Sounds like my post-AEW morning is settled!

JelloBrains,
JelloBrains avatar

Taz just made a UWF reference... and all I can think of is Herb Abrams the original wrestling Snowman... and now TK the new Snowman.

I think a draw was the right decision, that was deserving of a rematch and I don't even really like tag team wrestling.
