Mike Campbell Posted February 24 Share Posted February 24 Every now and then, when we're watching Dynamite, Rampage or Collision, my dad will hit me with some sort of comment that I'm not expecting and make me bust out laughing. Last night on Rampage during Roddy vs. Hager, this was what he came out with. "A few more of these throws and Roddy is going to need that neckbrace again." 2 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sorry to quote you twice, but apparently there was a wreddit thread this week about how Malakai never wrestles singles matches. I’d like to think TK is above spite booking, but it’s certainly a thing… 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AxB Posted February 24 Share Posted February 24 I was wondering why Matt Sydal was teaming with Private Party, when he had previously been Top Flight's third man. Now, if they wanted to spin it that he was upset that they dumped him in favour of Action Andretti, that would make sense, but we haven't seen or heard anything that would lead us to think that. Although, if we had, that would mean we would have had to have a Matt Sydal promo taking up TV time, so it's all good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Curt McGirt Posted February 24 Share Posted February 24 Excaliber could easily explain the booking instead of a Sydal promo. I kinda want Keith to win? Even a visual pin. I don't know why. It just feels to me that he needs one under his belt. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JLowe Posted February 24 Share Posted February 24 Rampage was hit and miss, mostly miss for me. Trios was pretty messy, and seeing Penta meant the finish was a foregone conclusion. Komander did some cool stuff. Darius and Bryan Keith looked a lot alike, about the same height, same braids, Keith has a slightly larger build, but they matched up well. Sydal was odd guy out and Penta tried to kill him twice (pretty sure the apron botch rang his bell some and led to the springboard botch). Private Party don’t really interest me anymore. In my perfect world, Top Flight go back to tag team and chase the ROH titles they were supposed to win. Komander keeps doing cool shit. Not sure how to book Bryan Keith but I like him. Speaking of, you can see how 13 years on the indies makes a huge difference in Keith versus the super green Andretti. Guevara doesn’t apologize for breaking his idol’s face. Ok. I FFWD through this, Callis at this point draws a ton of heat for himself but is total death as far as angles. Why do we need Saraya’s brother? I guess she can be his manager. I don’t know, I assume this is for All In but I was under the impression he kinda sucks? Half watched the Bucks match. It is interesting how they’ve varied their style some to be heelish. Mariah May has superstar potential. Hot, talented, stiff wrestler, good at getting character across in the ring. Good match. I’m hoping they don’t rush the angle with her and Toni splitting. Would they actually run a Skye Bkue-Stokely match? Main was alright, I don’t care much for Hager but he was working hard and there were some good comedy bits. Of course, one of those involved the action in the ring stopping dead for over a minute which I hate. Figured OC would get involved, but also expected the mascot to be a wrestler. From what I’ve been reading, ROH would be a far better use of my time than Rampage recently. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MoeCristyV.1.6 Posted February 24 Share Posted February 24 Mariah May is head and shoulders above someone like Deonna and all the other new talent they got, besides Queen Aminata. 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Curt McGirt Posted February 24 Share Posted February 24 I set my alarm but slept through the whole damn thing. Mr. Sandman got me and fucked my whole night up. I DID wake up long enough to see who was starting out the show, and just closed my eyes again. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Technico Support Posted February 24 Share Posted February 24 AEW, please stop trying to make Sammy Guevara: Likable Babyface happen. Dude could save animals from a burning pet shelter while curing cancer and we’d still want to punch him in the face. 2 5 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Go2Sleep Posted February 24 Share Posted February 24 I hope everything is ok in Hangman's life and he has whatever support he needs, but from a storytelling perspective, Hangman Frank-Grimes-ing his way out of the title match is a pretty logical wrap-up. I can break into someone's house and everyone will still cheer me because I'm Swerve Strickland. If he was gonna do the fake leg injury, doing it by failing on a cinder block stomp would've been the way to go, though. It's time to strap up Swerve anyway, and going back to the Hangman well so soon has been a drag on his ascent. Joe talks the talk as a champion, but AEW needs 2005 Joe at the top, not 2024 Joe. The Sting spectacle gives the ppv enough juice that they don't need to push Joe into working a longer match. A good 10-minute sprint with Swerve working face and winning clean will be just fine. Speaking of Frank Grimes, though, Wardlow airing all of his very legitimate grievances with his booking only to have Excalibur announce that he will be in a match called "Meat Mayhem" right after was good stuff. 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Technico Support Posted February 24 Share Posted February 24 Speaking of timing, I will say the the choice to have Christian do the “dead father” shtick on the same episode where Sting discussed his actual father who just died recently was a little questionable. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Curt McGirt Posted February 25 Share Posted February 25 Like the whole dead father thing isn't tasteless as is. Doing it while Sting did that was over the line, huh? Christian wants to know about your dads, all of you. I want Joe to keep the belt as much as anyone but can't help but thing him on the chase, destroying people left and right would be more interesting. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tbarrie Posted February 25 Share Posted February 25 So is the rule now that each show we can have one meaningful women's match or two women's squashes? I suppose that's progress. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Curt McGirt Posted February 25 Share Posted February 25 - Guevara/Hobbs started everything off really hot and was a fine spotfest. Lots of nasty table spills. Unfortunately Kelly did not either get pansed or whipped after the belt came off. I was really nervous about Sammy's crazy ass not closing that one table leg sticking up, who knows what can happen, the ref should have taken care of that too no matter which direction he's coming off of the ladder from. Be fine if this was a one-and-done really. - FTR/Taylor Ent. was good but I just watched off and on. Rosa match was a squash but Lady Bird Monroe seems athletic. The only thing I cared about from the Scissor Bangers match was when Caster just stopped rapping: which was hilarious, and the one Iron Savage taking the Rocker Dropper, then getting up and bumping backwards over the top for no reason which was some Shawn Michaels shit. What was apparently Dragon's new raincoat was hilariously cheap looking. - Black vs. Keith was better than the Eddie match by leaps and bounds. It ratcheted up the stiffness in increments and gave Keith a sound look at a possible win before eating the Headkick of Doom. Dunno where they're going with Chicken vs. HOB but I suggest a Spike on a Pole match. - Deeb/Frost started off ice cold (pardon the pun) but they gradually got the crowd into it. Very methodically paced match with a lot of elaborate setups, however, which was hard to bring to the table to follow the last match. I could watch Lady Frost do the dishes, but that's neither here nor there. Serena didn't exactly kill on the mic this time but the jabs at the rest of the division were nice. - Akiyama and Dragon... did not impress? Wow, that's something I did not expect to write. After the bar was set with the tag match and Black match this was way way too loosey-goosey to look up to snuff. Both guys hit some absolutely business exposing knees. Both of them seemed to slip and fall off the apron soon as the commercial break hit. Nothing really got into second gear overall and not even the Busaiku knee looked good. Akiyama looked surprisingly huge size-wise, however, and the end with Dragon getting slapped and then hitting UN FOULE~! was nice. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
username Posted February 25 Share Posted February 25 I saw a few people saying this re: Danielson/Akiyama and like... did everyone forget that Jun is 54? He's held up very well given the age and how physical a style he worked for the first half of his career but he is only gonna be able to give you so much anymore. I thought the match was fine given that. 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
