🥲 Nice to see the little guys win

BCG should unify titles with the Acclaimed

[–] [email protected] 6 points 8 months ago (1 children)

It's about damn time BCG gets some gold. I still want Jay to get a singles title though...

[–] [email protected] 5 points 8 months ago

Yeah I'm hoping Juice will slot into the Trios when he's healthy

[–] [email protected] 6 points 8 months ago (1 children)

hi my name is katy and i miss "from noRtH cArOLiNa... keNNY OOOOO-MEGA" so bad. i want my kenny omega back. blobcat, notlikethiscry

[–] ItsWizardTime 6 points 8 months ago

I can only hope we discover a cure for bad butt disease, (yes I know diverticulitis is not a joke, but bad butt disease feels much nicer) 2x I haven't been able to see him perform live now.

[–] ItsWizardTime 6 points 8 months ago (2 children)

So this is gonna be a short squash of a main event eh?

[–] [email protected] 5 points 8 months ago (1 children)

It sure looks like it. Unless there's another overrun.

[–] ItsWizardTime 6 points 8 months ago

If they don't go over this is going to be like a random jobber on WWE Superstars on the weekends.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 8 months ago

I mean it makes sense. Hook is definitely in over his head but it's commendable that he's trying

[–] ItsWizardTime 5 points 8 months ago (1 children)

Hooks hair looks like an 80's bowl cut

[–] [email protected] 5 points 8 months ago (1 children)

lmao I was actually going to say that his hair looked like the OG Charlie Bucket cut.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 8 months ago

Fuck lol

[–] [email protected] 5 points 8 months ago (2 children)

i legitimately have no idea how wwe or triple h saw nothing in swerve and let him go.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 8 months ago

Completely agree. In a few years, he might be to AEW what Mox is today.

Wait does this mean Roddys neck related feats of greatness were all just a ruse

[–] [email protected] 5 points 8 months ago

There's no way. You can't fake a neck injury. It's impossible.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 8 months ago

I love that the AEW roster has a lucha section

[–] [email protected] 5 points 8 months ago* (last edited 8 months ago) (1 children)

Swerve is a menace

Looks like he hasn't slept in days thinking about Super villain shit

[–] [email protected] 5 points 8 months ago

Dude had more mascara than an emo band 😂

[–] [email protected] 5 points 8 months ago (1 children)

Nick is kill

[–] [email protected] 5 points 8 months ago (1 children)

aew and making me cry in december and january can u not? 😭

[–] naterbugg 6 points 8 months ago (1 children)

That segment did hit right in the feels. From start to end. Glad they did it.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 8 months ago

The whole place fell silent once he got into his promo. Hard not to be captivated by it.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 8 months ago* (last edited 8 months ago)

a give toni the emmy

b i hope the match is wrestled with toni on luther's shoulders

[–] [email protected] 5 points 8 months ago (1 children)

Toni's so damn good lmfao

[–] [email protected] 5 points 8 months ago

a damn queen <3

[–] [email protected] 5 points 8 months ago

Poor Roddy just trying to put Orange on notice

[–] [email protected] 5 points 8 months ago (1 children)

Matthew and Nicholas Buck have grown up and totally the most mature people in the room

the queen of the ring vs the queen of the uk

[–] [email protected] 5 points 8 months ago (2 children)

So is it just me, or is Sting's last match going to be vs. Young Bucks simultaneously cosplaying Mustache Vince? Sweet catharsis awaits...

[–] [email protected] 5 points 8 months ago (1 children)

That's awesome. I didn't even think it could be a play on the Vince 'stache.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 8 months ago

The promo made it click, I think. Nick's stache is a much better imitation than Matt's lol

[–] [email protected] 4 points 8 months ago

The Bucks are trying to run a company. They aren't asking Sting to do anything they wouldn't do themselves

[–] [email protected] 5 points 8 months ago (2 children)

Joe really choked him out when Hook wouldn't stay down

[–] [email protected] 5 points 8 months ago (2 children)

Yep. Kind of a small victory for Hook.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 8 months ago

This whole thing feels like a big inflection point for Hook.

He pretty much got mauled and intimated he sees Hangman as a competitor

[–] [email protected] 5 points 8 months ago

he did give two fingers up

[–] [email protected] 5 points 8 months ago

And the sonofabitch still got up afterwards and demanded more.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 8 months ago

I guess that's Quin's cardio for the day 😂

[–] [email protected] 5 points 8 months ago (1 children)

Hard to say who'll win between Top Flight/PP. But I'm going with PP via shenanigans.

[–] ItsWizardTime 6 points 8 months ago (1 children)

What is up with that T shirt and vest combo?

[–] [email protected] 5 points 8 months ago

Looks like he just finished auditioning for a hip-hop version of the Nutcracker

[–] [email protected] 4 points 8 months ago

I really enjoyed that Hook/Joe match. Hook's got such a unique style about him.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 8 months ago

Hook hooked up.

I guess like Hogan hulking up.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 8 months ago (1 children)

Caught the show but couldn't comment as I was playing Stardew Valley with a friend that's been having a hard time.

Several matches tonight had no business being as good as they were. Shocked by the ROH 6 man title change. Now can they please be defended on ROH?!?

Toni is the best! Absolutely smashing it out of the park with everything she's doing!

We finally get Top Flight vs Private Party!!! Uhhhhhh yeah!

[–] [email protected] 5 points 8 months ago (1 children)

We're hopefully getting a unification and BCG has all the gold while silently retiring the ROH titles
