Also it was pretty funny that they just cut in on Lambert already talking like he'd been haranguing the crowd through the whole commercial break. Whatever they called the lariat x Saito suplex finish that King and Mox do is now my favorite death move(s). it actually has a name and they called the move by name last night, but I am old and have forgotten.

Zakk_Sabbath Posted September 30, 2021 Share Posted September 30, 2021 I feel like Arn really hit a gear on that one that he hasn't touched in a long, long time. Like, that wasn't sweater vest Arn, that was the fucking Enforcer. Loved it. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LOOOOL that's what I was thinking about this morning. I get how AEW allows wrestlers far more freedom but maybe they need to run their promo content by someone first because Arn getting a chub over the prospect of gun violence is not really on brand with a company that holds shows dedicated to victims of gun violence. Speaking of Punk, I forgot to shout out his line, after the Nyla/Rosa/Jade promo, about how three ways are pretty rough because "someone always gets left out and someone always ends up with their feelings hurt." God damn. Edited September 30, 2021 by Technico Support 3 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Man, that is so incredibly perfect I just now had to see it three times. I had to re-watch Arn's promo, the end of the 16-man tag and the main event. Good god was that all incredible stuff and this time around the Amanda/-1 parts got me pretty damn good. I do wish they held off on Lio's promo and just let the moment happen before fading into commercial. I also take back everything possibly negative I said about Sammi's win. I was in disbelief but on re-watch it was absolutely the right call. Once they established for a month+ the chink in his armor it was bound to lead to his undoing in this match. That plus Sammy busting out everything plus the 630 to seal it made for something truly special. I can't wait to see who he defends against after Fish. Also had to chuckle at this when MJF came out: MFJ: "Cut my music, cut my music" Schiavone: "Go to Hell, go to Hell" 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Greggulator Posted September 30, 2021 Share Posted September 30, 2021 I think everyone is missing LBO Lio and what he’s about. He’s not a stonk bro who put it all on GameStop ($GSE). He is a high finance corporate raider looting out the remnants of a steel company or laying off the staff of once prestigious regional newspapers. He had a Goldman Sachs partnership track that we probably did not know about when he was on the Maryland indie scene. Man I really want to write his promos and have him talking about how he securitizes his debt and sells it off to Credit Suisse or things like that. I want as much arcane finance stuff as possible. I want him to announce he laid off Trent Berrerta’s mom from the stationary store she works for because he bought out their holding company and is closing all the stores just because he can. I may be the only person in that target audience but god damn it give it to me! 9 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zimbra Posted September 30, 2021 Share Posted September 30, 2021 I am still not over Arn Anderson letting everyone know that he'll let the chopper talk to protect his Buick. I may never be over it. Also, it's probably not great that Arn basically did Dan Lambert's whole schtick better in about 90 seconds than Lambert has done in weeks, right? 2 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Greggulator Posted September 30, 2021 Share Posted September 30, 2021 I hope we get a match where Fuego puts his car on the line against LBO Lio who has to put up the AA-level tranche of the loan he took out to buy out Dollar Tree. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zakk_Sabbath Posted September 30, 2021 Share Posted September 30, 2021 I get the whole "referred to gun violence" aspect, but it's a hot button issue so i'm not gonna be a dickhead and litigate it here - all I intended to point out with my comment was how much I enjoyed the intensity he brought 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Krone Posted September 30, 2021 Share Posted September 30, 2021 I'm just surprised he used the line in New York of all places. We are like the most strict state in the country as far as gun restrictions and laws go. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
