J.T. Posted September 30, 2021 Share Posted September 30, 2021 Well, I have to work the night of the 16th of November and will be off shift around 8 in the morning on the 17th. I am seriously considering getting tickets for the show in Norfolk on the 17th and taking leave on the 18th and 19th. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NikoBaltimore Posted September 30, 2021 Share Posted September 30, 2021 If you can and are willing I would definitely go. All three shows I've been to were a blast no matter the card. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jiji Posted September 30, 2021 Share Posted September 30, 2021 Maybe. I know they post quite a few unreleased themes too. Would be interesting if they leaned that heavily into their homage gimmick. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NikoBaltimore Posted September 30, 2021 Share Posted September 30, 2021 (edited) I had no idea they had a Bandcamp and had to verify it was real. So that's pretty cool and I'm all for that being their theme. EDIT: The more I hear this the more I really, really love it. I so want to get on a time machine and play this while driving down Miami circa 1985. Oh, and maybe look like Don Johnson while I'm at it for good measure.

John from Cincinnati Posted September 30, 2021 Share Posted September 30, 2021 (edited) Speaking of themes, I'm happy they had Bryan use the version w/lyrics of his last night. I think it might be my preference, but I'd need to see it in action more. Excited to see it featured for a full match entrance Friday.

LoneWolf&Subs Posted September 30, 2021 Share Posted September 30, 2021 (edited) To be fair, the Midnight’s rip-off is actually way better than the original. They should’ve just completely re-did the rip-off. But then who owns it? I’ve never heard a version of it that wasn’t pulled from TV.

AxB Posted September 30, 2021 Share Posted September 30, 2021 So if Kevin Steen shows up at the end of 2020, is that how they re-integrate the Codyverse with the Elite? Because if they do a non-surprise announcement that he's signed, it makes perfect storyline sense that The Elite, the Nightmare Factory, possibly even the Inner Circle and the Dark Order (Uno/Dos faction) might be expecting that he'd be on their side.

Sami Zayn's contract ends in October*. If he signs (and I truly fucking hope he does), the angle of "eventually he needs a surprise partner for help" writes itself. *Edit to say that I read this a while back and upon a recent internet search, most people think his contract is up in Spring 2022 Edited September 30, 2021 by christopher.annino 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I like it and I can't deny that. ...and on the subject of that theme, it was awesome, but just like Jungle Boy's version of Tarzan Boy isn't the original mix, but rather mordernized and improved version with some heavier guitars mixed in, this could have used some hair metal style riffs in the background to keep it firmly in the 80's, but make it a bit less of a complete rip-off! Mind you, I have no problem with complete rip-offs of good/great songs if they are also done well enough. And on another note, it still is kinda amusing that these two Tully-sized Arns would pay homage to The Midnight Express with their gear and theme. Does that qualify as "ironic" , even if they are being totally serious about it? Is "an ironic coincidence" a thing? Edited October 1, 2021 by Shartnado Musings...

cubbymark Posted October 1, 2021 Share Posted October 1, 2021 (edited) YouTube version of the FTR new theme. It’s an interesting mix of The Chase, the Midnights’ NWA/WCW unlicensed rip-off. And oddly works for a soundtrack for an 80s drug cartel movie or TV show. I could totally picture a coked out Tony Montana dancing to this in some disco trying to hit on Elvira Hancock. I’ll give the devil his due. AEW finally did something right. Edited October 1, 2021 by cubbymark 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When Cody left the WWE, it was Kevin Steen who told the Bucks "Take care of this guy".

Zakk_Sabbath Posted October 1, 2021 Share Posted October 1, 2021 I love all of these possibilities, and would be happy with any of them, but should they land Kevin Steen, my prediction is that the real "bidding war" story will be told between a split group of Kenny/Good Bros and Cole/Bucks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
