Shane Taylor is really growing on me. I hope he's featured more.

That OC/Komander match was a lot of fun. I shouldn't be surprised though...both men rule.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

Hard to be disappointed by either!

@TellumSiege This may have been Komander’s best AEW match. Orange brought it as well with some of his most athletic wrestling in a while. Their execution was spot on.

I think you're bang on. It's hard to think of another Komander match as good as this one (in AEW).

And for me, it was interesting to go from the Rumble/WWE's pace to Komander vs. OC. Two very different styles to say the least.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

@TellumSiege Exactly! It’s great that there is an audience for both styles, but this stuff is certainly more of my jam.

I didn't realize this was an "escape the cage" elimination match. I'm even more hyped now.

Damn, too bad DG was left out of the match. Hope he doesn't have a real injury or something...

Really solid show, and was great to see Deeb back in the ring. I also made that two women's and a promo, so maybe, just maybe, we'll continue to see more women featured each week.

The cage match was good, but I have a general problem with any escape = win rule.

The cage is there to stop cowardly heels running away from the beating they deserve. The cell has a roof to stop outside interference, as well as people running away. Having running away (exiting the cage) being how you win, and especially being able to ask the ref to open the door(!), just makes no sense to me.

Escaping should always lead to forfeiting the match imo.

I can't wait for Dark Danny.

I don't mind the escape rule, but I think you should have to climb out.
