That barb wire match between Sabu and Terry Funk was something else. Ordered the video tape from ECW back in the day.
this is one modern trend I do not like. It’s not even the popping right up but when huge moves are hit in a match, that needs to be sold for the rest of the match
It also makes Jay Lethal look like shit as well. He sold that like it killed him and then Hangman just pops right up from it a week later.
had the same gripe when I was watching the show last night, wouldn't be as big of an issue if they'd at least sell like they're hurt but able to momentarily fight through the pain before giving in
Ya I don’t have an issue with popping up and hitting an immediate counter and then both men are down. Can sell it as a burst of adrenaline but you have to go down after and you need to sell it the rest of the match. Grab your neck, momentarily stumble and grab the ropes. It’s easy
Hangman no sold it, popped up and hit both of his finishers, pinned him and got up and transitioned to a stare down with Punk like he hadn't even been in a competitive match. It was awful.
also if I can nitpick a bit I thought Page came off mostly like a pouty teenager as he stormed back up the ramp after the stare down, was just a weird energy for that moment
He has been doing that since the second week of the Punk build. I wouldn't be surprised if they tease a Hangman turn only for Punk to turn at DON.
Page is acting heel Punk acting face When first started they were reversed. I think they knew Punk wasn't going to be accepted as heel imo and backed off
Well Double or Nothing is going to be another marathon PPV Loved that they made Kris Statlander win. Though it makes no sense why they put Red Velvet in if they were going to have her lose to a replacement. Why not just put have had Stalander in over Velvet to begin with?
Updated card for Double Or Nothing, already 10 matches announced with the preshow AEW World Championship: Hangman Page (c) vs. CM Punk AEW Women’s World Championship: Thunder Rosa (c) vs. Serena Deeb AEW World Tag Team Championship: Jungle Boy & Luchasaurus (c) vs. Keith Lee & Swerve Strickland vs. Ricky Starks & Powerhouse Hobbs Owen Hart Men's Final Owen Hart Men's Final JAS vs. BCC, Eddie Kingston, Santana & Ortiz AEW TBS Championship Jade Cargill vs Anna Jay Young Bucks vs. The Hardys House of Black vs. Death Triangle Pre-show: Hook & Danhausen vs. Tony Nese & Mark Sterling
Only for sure thing on that card is that Deeb isn’t winning after what she did to the number on Wednesday
So I guess he wasn’t mad about the guys he beat from the other promotions show that also used to be on Wednesday and are now in AEW coming over and taking his spot.
Maybe they tying it into video gaming too, blood moon was a thing in Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild
Blood moons are things in real life too, Shawn. Although I'm down with a game mode where you play 2 out of 3 falls and you have to hurry and win the second fall before a blood moon restores the first one.
As I understand scissoring is historically describing lesbians having sex. Please explain why or what it means now in wrestling?
oh yeah well how about the fact they gave their B show the same name as a fighting game series smart guy???
Naomi isn't a huge loss imo. Sasha is probably the best female in ring performer in the industry and has a lot of crossover appeal/exposure.
Wwe probably wouldn't give two shits about losing Naomi nor should they, other than she's married to an Uso so got to make sure they don't fuck up the relationship with that family
Didn't say she isn't talented. She's a good babyface female wrestler who can have solid matches and is always good for a spot to pop the crowd. But where I'm coming from is WWE has more talented male and female wrestlers they barely use. Sasha moves the needle and is basically responsible for everyone's best/most memorable match.
Suspending them indefinitely, stripping them of their titles, denigrating them on the air, removing their merch, removing them from the opening segment, unpublishing their Facebook page, etc. That's the type of shit you do when you want someone to quit.
