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. Yeah, agreed, this theme is fire. Very GTA Vice City. Gonna miss them using the Pinnacle's Horsemen ripoff though. I've been whistling that one non stop since it debuted. 4
Jiji Posted October 1, 2021 Posted October 1, 2021 (edited) Interesting. Oh yeah new month! Next time. Edited October 1, 2021 by Jiji
chriskbrown50 Posted October 1, 2021 Posted October 1, 2021 Steen has to go with the Bucks/Cole. At least initially. 2
LoneWolf&Subs Posted October 1, 2021 Posted October 1, 2021 (edited) I forget the Casino Ladder Match has individual entrances. Unless the match ends before the Joker comes out, I think this gimmick match might be a little too out there. Edited October 1, 2021 by LoneWolf&Subs

Same here! Not sure if you watch BTE, but they did a quick reference to it where Cole was like "I'm gonna go find Hangman!" and Kenny/Bucks were like "Uhhhh, maybe don't do that..." Really curious to see how that's handled on TV.
Matt D Posted October 1, 2021 Posted October 1, 2021 It'll be like when Ole confronted Flair in the dressing room after he had the split with Tully. Luger, and Arn.

All 5 dudes enter before the match starts. It's just there's one surprise entrant. Which was Ethan Page last time they did this. And Brian Cage before him. Dare they go Cage, Page, Page as the jokers? lol

AxB Posted October 1, 2021 Posted October 1, 2021 That's what Tony Khan said on Busted Open. That it's timed intervals, but it can end at any time. He also said they'd be announcing the entrants ahead of time, so presumably either tonight, or on Elevation/Dark before Dynamite next week.

That’s how I remember it working. Two guys start, and then you get other people entering. It’s my least favorite match gimmick they’ve had. I mean I already don’t like multi person ladder matches, just adding a rumble gimmick to it is worse. Hopefully this one being in front of a crowd gives the performers motivation, and improves it.

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. The rip-off is great in its own way, but the opinion that it's actually better than The Chase is so white it just booked a spa weekend. 1 7

If that’s the case, then chop me up, and build White House II in DC. I love the knock off. It’s so clean, and catchy. Edited October 2, 2021 by LoneWolf&Subs 1
Curt McGirt Posted October 2, 2021 Posted October 2, 2021 Wow, that FTR theme sounds not only like all that stuff but also like it's a late '80s puro theme. Possibly Joshi? Hell I can see Muto coming out to it in WCW. 2
Technico Support Posted October 2, 2021 Posted October 2, 2021 Also, it’s called the “Darkside” theme because that’s the MX’s kayfabe hometown. 4

Loving this Midnights-esque theme, but thought the Pinnacle music was perfect for FTR's Arn & Tully vibe. 3

I did especially like that while Spears is a heel he had to show the Brodie love with the shirt and pose at the beginning. It was a nice moment that the crowd appreciated then once Wardlow came in it was back to the heeling. Good stuff. Spoiler Elevation is a fitting name. 2
