😂😂😂 Is Ricky the first suspended wrestler to get a promo, vignette, and full entrance with Pyro?

Also getting some HBK with Diesel vibes from these 2.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 2 years ago

😂 Has to be. And great call on the HBK/Diesel reference.

Darby vs. Christian should be fun. But this is what I'm really looking forward to...

[–] [email protected] 3 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Are you trying to get me to giggle until I pass out?

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

I was this close to making it the thumbnail lol

[–] [email protected] 3 points 2 years ago (1 children)

If you don't make it the thumbnail on Wednesday, I will.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 2 years ago

This might be my favourite threat ever.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 years ago

Your willpower is greater than mine

[–] [email protected] 5 points 2 years ago (1 children)

So is Andrade officially not in LFI anymore?

You know shits serious when it's filmed in letterbox

The difference between Nigel/Kelly giving the match card rundown and Excalibur doing it is jarring.

The two shows definitely have 2 distinct feels and I feel like they both picked the right roster.

Dynamite is pure chaos and literally anyone could pop up. The commentary team also just feels like 3 bros taking.

Collison is way more structured and less busy. Matches are either obvious squashes or given enough time to breathe. Nigel/Kevin/JR also feel more like commentators

[–] [email protected] 5 points 2 years ago (1 children)

I love Taz, Excalibur, and Tony. Their chemistry is fantastic!

😂😂😂Nigel is such a simp. Did he just say Christian would retain?

[–] [email protected] 3 points 2 years ago (2 children)

Darby Wtf man. It's a random Saturday Collision, why are you coffin dropping the apron

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 years ago

The man has to have bones of rubber

Hopefully everyone can see this. The Fediverse growing pains have been a serious pain in the ass this week...

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 years ago

I can't see it in the web browser again, but kbin has been weird a lot recently. Artemis app to the rescue!

[–] [email protected] 3 points 2 years ago

KILL HIM!

Austin Gunn kills me lol

😂😂😂 Idk why Schiavone agreed to interview then. He has to know he would get bullied

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 years ago (1 children)

He looked like sour boy everytime they put his hand up 😂

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 years ago

Tony is amazing at subtle indignance when someone is rude to him

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 years ago

Toni's old Hollywood gimmick is so great. The most impressive part is how quickly she's pulled it off.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 years ago

An enraged Samoa Joe is like the last person I would want to wrestle

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 years ago

HoB doesn't donate to Goodwill is now canon

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 years ago (2 children)

Damn can these four cut a promo.

Christian should call himself the "Real" TNT champ.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 years ago

I put a trophy next to his name for a reason

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 years ago (2 children)

Feels like we're going to see big meaty men slapping meat tonight. Hobbs is in action and we heard from Miro

Now I want to see someone suplexed so hard their brain falls out their butt

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 years ago

I always pop for the Jay White cardboard cutout

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 years ago

BCG out here giving Schiavone a palm reading

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Was Dalton okay there? Seemed weird the way he stretched his arm out.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 years ago

I think he was reaching for the rope

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 years ago

C'mon Ricky, say Stroke Daddy...

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 years ago

😂😂 I'm already loving the relationship between Toni and Lexy

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 years ago

Hasn't been mentioned yet, but the FTR/Bucks match is now official.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 years ago (1 children)

That Pounce looked NASTY

[–] [email protected] 3 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Absolutely. Diamante looked like she was an inch away from hitting the corner of that rail 😬

[–] [email protected] 3 points 2 years ago

Dude, I was thinking the same thing.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago) (1 children)

@Montagge can you see this? I know they couldn't see the Dynamite thread...

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 years ago (1 children)

I can on Artemis but not kbin. When I follow your message I can see the thread but no comments.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago) (3 children)

Thanks for the update.

Weird. It's been happening all week for me (Getting error messages whenever I create threads). At this point, I don't know if it's me, Kbin, or something else...

Dang. I guess that's all we'll get from FTR :/

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 years ago (1 children)

I love Christian's turtleneck gear. He's like the wrestling version of Archer.

So is Miro going to kill QTV to redeem Hobbs?

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 years ago

He's going to steal QT's spray tan and reveal him as a pasty fraud!

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 years ago

It doesn't pay to be Tony Schiavone this episode lol

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 years ago

😂😂😂😂 Christian Cage is great. Only man that can lose a title match and stay the champ

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 years ago

Spear, huh? Isn't that someone else's move...
