RazorbladeKiss87 Posted April 12, 2024 Posted April 12, 2024 So, not to share too much here, but I see TK's point. I've been in jail when fights break out. A bystander can get pulled in quickly, without warning. If the aggressor directs their attention towards you, things can shift fast. Hyperbole? Maybe but in the moment, I can see his thoughts. 2
jaedmc Posted April 12, 2024 Posted April 12, 2024 I'm trying to get reacquainted with AEW programming and I can't recall... what is the difference between Rampage and Collision? I thought they only had two shows. Is Rampage just jobber matches?

ROH is FCW/OVW/Deep South. 3 6
jaedmc Posted April 12, 2024 Posted April 12, 2024 You're speaking my language. Who are the Collision Six?
Curt McGirt Posted April 12, 2024 Posted April 12, 2024 The Segunda-Approved Five Fingers of Death plus one? 1

Or maybe Christian in there. Brody King? Eddie? I don't know. Give it some time. They run a lot of six-man tags on Collision. But it's really Danielson's show in a lot of ways now that Punk is gone.

Last night's international feed fun was that Shane Taylor hit the loudest goddamn chop I've ever heard on Hook and Aubrey looked horrified like she'd just seen someone get shot. Hell yeah, man. I rewound it to hear it again. If you haven't seen it, imagine how loud you think a chop can be. Now realize it was louder than that. 2

Rampage is essentially WCW Saturday Night under Jimmy Hart's booking, it's own little world in the AEW ecosystem Edited April 12, 2024 by porksweats 1

That's true in the matches, I'm just trying to think how you categorize the storylines that exist seemingly on Rampage only now (Jay Lethal's Jarrett woes, Zak Knight/Cool Hand Ang's beef, anything dealing with Ortiz)
Elsalvajeloco Posted April 12, 2024 Posted April 12, 2024 So who is The Gambler and my personal favorite Frankie Lancaster?
jaedmc Posted April 12, 2024 Posted April 12, 2024 Are Jay Lethal and Jeff Jarrett still working together!? It's amazing how much I miss out on and how much stays the same. Like I remember when Danielson and Jericho were fighting over the soul of Daniel Garcia. Loved it. I miss one month of shows, come back, and Daniel Garcia is still with Jericho and now he dances. I have no idea how it happened. It just is. On the other hand, I miss six months and Jay Lethal and Double J still have TV time devoted to their act. Tremendous.

Technico Support Posted April 12, 2024 Posted April 12, 2024 There was a "Jarrett's crew is sick of Jay because Jay keeps losing" storyline that I forgot existed (and was probably dropped) until I saw @Matt D's post.

So I just watched this. Great time. Thanks. Sonjay pouncing Buddy Matthews off the stage was probably the last thing I expected out of this match. 6

JLowe Posted April 12, 2024 Posted April 12, 2024 I’m going to be Pennsylvania archaeology networking (read: drinking beers at hotel bar) during Collision and possibly even BotB. Probably won’t be able to catch up until Monday. 1
Elsalvajeloco Posted April 12, 2024 Posted April 12, 2024 Just now, JLowe said: Butcher is maybe the closest to The Gambler. I don’t remember Frankie Lancaster. Lancaster was around a LONG time in the business. Not Chick Donovan lifer long, but a good amount of time. He was Frank/Frankie Lane in the territory days (mainly Florida, but stints in Memphis, World Class, Mid Atlantic, Georgia, Mid South and UWF, Puerto Rico, and Continental). He also got to tag with Curt Hennig in All Japan. He did various stints with WCW. However, he did a bunch of enhancement matches on Saturday Night and Worldwide and other syndicated shows. Lancaster is one those guys who was the definition of a vanilla wrestler down to the name. Good hand though.
AxB Posted April 12, 2024 Posted April 12, 2024 Frankie Lancaster? He was a TV jobber who somehow wound up in a tag team with nepo baby Erik Watts. They broke up after losing a Worldwide match, when Lancaster was getting pinned, put his foot on the ropes, and then Watts ran along the apron for some reason and accidentally kicked his foot off the ropes. 1

Except he’s not a jobber. How about Alex Reynolds? Edited April 12, 2024 by JLowe
