Maybe he can use that belt loop if it's loosened up enough. Or maybe whoever their seamstress is can sew ones on. Ah, fuck it, just cancel the damn match instead.

Zakk_Sabbath Posted August 12, 2020 Share Posted August 12, 2020 I don't even know how we have a main event, just hoping everyone turns out safe. Shutting that part of my brain off for a moment, I'm still looking forward to it, but it's like watching '90s chairshots: I'm still entertained I guess, but now I have that little voice going 'ohhh nooooooooooo'" 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EVA Posted August 12, 2020 Share Posted August 12, 2020 Jericho will probably spit in his face to own the libs. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HarryArchieGus Posted August 12, 2020 Share Posted August 12, 2020 (edited) Here’s hoping last week’s effort flows into this for a comparably great show. Bucks-DO could be a barnburner so too the tag title match. Stoked to see Scorpio back on the main show. I suspect he loses and becomes heel angry. That’s my hope or that he takes the title. I’m also hoping we see the freshly signed Eddie Kingston. A promo will do there. The ‘legends’ segments thus far have mostly fallen short, but here’s hoping Tully and Arn bring the fast talking heel swagger.

Doing Old Guys Appreciation Night when Jericho might well have drug COVID into Daily's Place is certainly spitting in somebody's face, definitely common sense's at least.

I've been mostly very positive about AEW's use of old guys and not repeating the mistakes of other promotions, but I feel like these segments are best left for PPV in front of a hot crowd. Bret MF'ing Hart showing up to present the world title comes to mind. But OTOH, is there even gonna be a future with crowds to "save" stuff for? Everything is so complicated Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Infinit Posted August 12, 2020 Share Posted August 12, 2020 I saw Bucks/Uno&Stu live at an ROH show and it was the bee's knees. Looking forward to them hooking 'em up tonight. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flair’s Shadow Posted August 12, 2020 Share Posted August 12, 2020 (edited) Back by popular demand! The Shadow knows... Tonight is the the beginning of the beginning of the new 4 Horsemen. Tonight we see friction between Cody and Arn Anderson. It will either cost Cody his title tonight vs Sky Scorpio or it will lead to Cody losing his TNT title at next PPV in a few weeks. The eventual turn of Arn Anderson on Cody begins tonight. The new 4 Horsemen will not have Cody as a member. Arn Anderson & Tully Blanchard will once again make the Rhodes and all who are connected to the Rhodes family their main targets. We will also see the further storyline of FTR laying the groundwork in making Hangman Page their gullible patsy. FTR will of course by the end of the PPV will be members of the new 4 Horsemen and will have the AEW World Tag Titles. Hangman Page will not be a member of the 4 Horsemen. He is a monster face who will have the sympathy of AEW fan base. The main event of the Sept PPV will have MJF defeating Moxley. MJF will also be a member of the new 4 Horsemen and will become the Ric Flair of this new generation. He has it all...and his character shows the same qualities as FTR...anti flippy floppy...pro old time wrestling. MJF + FTR + ???? The 4th member will be the guy who comes out of nowhere and helps MJF defeat Moxley. This man will also kick a hole in the chest of Wardlow. The 4th member will be... Miro. AA + Tully + MJF + FTR + Miro Charismatic.....Highest quality workers.....heel heat.... The faces line up beautifully. Cody has even more incentive to go after MJF..and of course lead the fight against 4 Horsemen. Hangman Page once again feels all alone...blind sided by his new drinking buddies FTR. Wardlow becomes a face and joins Cody in his fight against 4 Horsemen. Young Bucks and Cody finally again join forces. Omega drifts off alone being pissed that Hangman Page was stupid enough to fall for FTR fake friendship and Omega eventually turns heel...but it will be a slow burn. It’s Happening!!

John from Cincinnati Posted August 12, 2020 Share Posted August 12, 2020 Given your track record, I now have doubts about whether this stable will even include FTR. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Death From Above Posted August 12, 2020 Share Posted August 12, 2020 So only people of a certain age will remember this but back when I WAS YOUNG, local yellow pages always had one page of, like, free random games and stuff you could do over the phone. One of the local things here was a wrestling rumour hotline and I remember it consistently claimed throughout most of 1997 and 1998 that Randy Savage was coming back to the WWF, and quite often suggesting he was going to ally with Degeneration X. Anyway, Flair's Shadow reminds me of this. I consider it a good memory. 3 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Green Meanie Posted August 13, 2020 Share Posted August 13, 2020 The real tragedy of tonight is that now ROBERT is going to have to man the gimmick table. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Niners Fan in CT Posted August 13, 2020 Share Posted August 13, 2020 Tully was extra surly tonight the hatred for the rock n' rolls and Rhodes family still runs deep! Him and Arn were great out there... and speaking of finally this happened. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Death From Above Posted August 13, 2020 Share Posted August 13, 2020 Another good show. None of the matches were bad. I'm not sure any of them were great, but none of them were bad. Arn Anderson saying nice things about the Rock N Roll Express just feels wrong somehow. Tully not having any of this shit was great. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
For Great Justice Posted August 13, 2020 Share Posted August 13, 2020 Weakest show in a while, I thought, but was still good and went by quickly. Morton just ATE that piledriver. Also, loved the homage to this: 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dog Posted August 13, 2020 Share Posted August 13, 2020 Jericho and Orange really had their wires crossed tonight. Why so many dragon screws, and why the hell was Jericho taking back bumps for them? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fartsauce Posted August 13, 2020 Share Posted August 13, 2020 Jericho/Cassidy should have been a bigger deal but Jim Ross is just casually chatting with the other announcers during submission attempts late in the match. I generally try not to shit all over guys but Ross has to go. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
