Curt McGirt Posted December 2, 2023 Share Posted December 2, 2023 Fairly good Rampage here. The women's match felt like it was 75% in PnP so that sucked though. This was a collection of multi-persons; first one was fun and Danhausen busting out the hat cracked me up. Wheeler used "The Man in the Mask" on Ex like Regal. Whatever that finisher was that Uno has, it's gnarly. The Mummy AKA Ric Flair came out and flashed the logo of the furniture company to the crowd from inside his jacket! They're gonna be blowing up! Slashing prices for the holidays, buy sofa and love seat for 20% off! Stinger gave a shout out to Bam Bam Bigelow which was class. Love Bammer. They played Wight getting slammed on the car again, and man, he landed practically on the edge of it. Nasty. Callis showed, like Heyman on Smackdown, that a good manager can still get the most heat out of the entire crew. The main was a delirious spotfest with everything being super complicated and pretty well perfectly pulled off. Vikingo screwed up one dive but JD Drake saved it by immediately throwing his ass up against the ropes and lariating him, which was probably a receipt for Vikingo chopping him with his entire arm. I like me some Workhorsemen. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Curt McGirt Posted December 2, 2023 Share Posted December 2, 2023 Just remembered this, I had the subs on during the show and when Schiavone was introducing Sting and Flair, Ex said his name and it read "Tony Giovanni" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think I remember probably Schneider writing about how he was trying to put dry ice in Shadow WX's mouth Oh my god here it is! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TcL2FNFPjWY&ab_channel=RaffertyWestmore Oh, oh no. They had not only the ice but Mr. Pogo's sickle attachment on the END OF A DRILL. Shoji Nakamaki shows up wearing a suit (?!). But in a match with that, you know what was the craziest thing? Greak Kojika, who I remember was referred to as "a gaunt and elderly man", busting out a freakin' hiptoss in a death match. The Rick Steamboat of Big Japan, ladies and gentlemen! I keep saying he's wearing someone's upholstery. I hope the furniture store bled him dry for that. I think the best response I saw online for Flair's suits is that he looks like a fancy brunch menu. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Craig H Posted December 2, 2023 Share Posted December 2, 2023 See, every time I think of Flair’s suits I think, “What can I say about that suit that hasn’t already been said about Afghanistan? It looks bombed out and depleted.” 2 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SirFozzie Posted December 2, 2023 Share Posted December 2, 2023 Ok.. a bit late, but after a certain move on last week's collision, I want Samoa Joe to nope his way out of a out of ring dive. A real tope con see ya... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would agree, but tbh the whole Triple Crown thing kind of puts a damper on this entire tournament. Why does anyone like Swerve or Moxley care about holding a lower tier New Japan belt, the ROH title, and a completely new belt? And nobody better give me that “oh it’s still a title/World title”. No, it’s a downgrade from even the AEW International title. They really should have just made this thing into their G1, where the winner gets a title shot at a later date. Swerve (or whoever) winning and MJF knowing that even if he gets through Samoa Joe, while injured, he still has to face the winner of this thing in a month or two? Come on. That’s infinitely better than shuffling someone with name value to NJPW STRONG or ROH shows to bolster the appeal of either/both. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It symbolizes you won a grueling tournament with some of the top mat workers in the world.

Greggulator Posted December 3, 2023 Share Posted December 3, 2023 Only saw the main event. That was a wild, brutal strike fest. I was really hoping Kingston was going to get one back on Danielson, but that was just two dudes blasting each other for my entertainment, much respect. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Curt McGirt Posted December 3, 2023 Share Posted December 3, 2023 Man, how long is this tournament gonna last, a couple months? I mean that's cool but I didn't think it really was gonna be G1-long. Another question: what is a "clamdigger" as an insult? Anyway I actually didn't like this show as much as Rampage, which was far more inconsequential. It was just more fun. This was kind of a slog beyond the main event. I think I can sum it up in a spoiler. Spoiler 1. Tired of Claudio. His matches never change. Brody is perfectly fine (his navel is a black hole though haha) and this was some serious big meaty men slapping meat, but it just didn't hit for me. 2. Workrate tag with HoB and the old guys, not interested 3. Kip Sabien, not interested 4. Danny/Andrade was okay. The dropkick to Andrade's face and him pushing Danny off the top were mean looking. Andrade thigh slapping for a back elbow is pretty shitty. I guess the positives are my boy Ethan getting a match, my they Abadon picking up a win (finally), Renee almost not corpsing (the foot fetishists get their kick [heh] again but this time it's gotta be all in your heads, boys), and Pirata Danielson vs. Eddie Has To Lose, Of Course.

zendragon Posted December 3, 2023 Share Posted December 3, 2023 Disappointed FTR didn't join HOB... wanted southern gothic Dax quoting "Midnight in the garden of good and evil" I hope this is the start of Pirate Danielson this week an eye patch, next week a puffy shirt, an earing, a hook, a peg leg according to Nigel on AEW unrestricted Bryan enjoys literally going out into the ocean and digging clams also really like the Workhorsemen getting the main event slot on Rampage 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At one point I thought the mask went straight over Pirata Danielgan's other eye but I guess not. That needs to be how someone kicks the shit out of him at one point, just yank the mask over and start taking cheap shots. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Curt McGirt Posted December 3, 2023 Share Posted December 3, 2023 OH SHIT I DIDN'T EVEN THINK ABOUT THAT!!! He's the bald one with more personality, right? Probably Cronos then, plus I think Mr. Lant has been slowly balding since like forever. Look at a picture of him now, but even in the '80s he looked like that. https://encrypted-tbn1.gstatic.com/licensed-image?q=tbn:ANd9GcR6TqLGy0J73Wssl1y2GoBLso80b1SA0baQ2V-YaqLtkddKc17Ejy6TfFmXjOqTkbrymjJ8_8idH0HBkIc 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
S.K.o.S. Posted December 3, 2023 Share Posted December 3, 2023 I'm a little scared to ask this, but: is it still possible for someone who's 0-2 to win the tournament? Best they can do in the round robin stage is 3-2, obviously. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
