MJF as a baby face is such a mindfuck. Everything about him screams asshole

[–] [email protected] 4 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Kind of reminds me of the "up front asshole" or "keepin' it real" type. You know he's scum, he knows he's scum. But that only goes so far, in the end, still scum. All it takes is for Max to screw over someone the fans like. (BAY BAY!)

[–] [email protected] 4 points 2 years ago

100%, it's just wild because the crowd is literally cheering the devil. He's getting so much love now and I know the heel promo where he insults everyone for even thinking hes redeemable is going to hurt.

I can already feel the mark insult coming for Double Clothesline and Kangaroo Kick getting over

The MJF/Adam Cole skits remind me so much of Dark Order i love it

Leatherface is AEW canon now.

He needs to team up with Abadon

[–] [email protected] 6 points 2 years ago

πŸ˜‚πŸ˜‚πŸ˜‚πŸ˜‚ This gives new meaning to MJF throwing his childish tantrums and how he actually behaves around TK.

Did Kenny just imply Don Callis gave him steroids as a kid?

Kenny confirms he's a witcher

Lol that's what I got from it

[–] [email protected] 5 points 2 years ago

Lol TK has to be a memer. He heard your complaints about too many belts so he threw on another belt

[–] [email protected] 4 points 2 years ago

Sting needs to drink more water lol

Tony looked like he was about to audition for the Broadway version of Reservoir Dogs

[–] [email protected] 4 points 2 years ago

Penta is looking great!

[–] [email protected] 4 points 2 years ago

Jarrett segments feels like a way more coherent structured WCW 2000 segment.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 2 years ago

I never even considered the possibility of a Stadium Stampede at All In.

Fuck yeah, I'm down for this.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Retiring the FTW belt will get heat with me!

[–] [email protected] 4 points 2 years ago (2 children)

And here I am, with my post-show thoughts (in no particular order):

KANGAROO KICK!

Stadium Stampede? At Wembley? Yes, please.

Really hoping we get a Daddy Ass return at All In.

When can I get a print of that wonderfully awful Chris Judas/Carny Piece of Shit painting?

Adam Cole's face during the Outback Steakhouse bit had me laughing out loud. Also, KANGAROO KICK!

Golden Elite vs Bullet Club Gold & Takeshita? I'm down. Despite turning heel, I still love me some Takeshita. Mainly because I'm a DDT mark. Loser must drop "Gold" from their team name and replace it with "Silver".

Nothing against any of the women that will be in the 4 way, but as soon as I saw the tournament bracket last week, I knew who would be in the match at All In. I was kind of hoping there would be some sort of upset. Should be a fun match nonetheless.

If BTYBB beats Aussie Open for the ROH Tag Titles (with a KANGAROO KICK!), and then Cole wins the BBB, that's going to be one awkward as fuck, back-stabby as all hell, tag title reign, and I absolutely want it.

The Texas Chainsaw Product Placement Death Match... certainly happened. I feel like it was lacking some Robocop. I don't think it was bad, but maybe I just wasn't in the right mood for it, because I usually love goofy shit in my wrestling.

I blinked and missed the finish to the main event.

KANGAROO KICK!

Wtf! Not the way I expected this match to get setup

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

We talking Ospreay/Jericho? At least I'm guessing that's where they're headed lol

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

Yeah I heard the rumor but I thought Don would be with Jericho and the title match would be a gift.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 2 years ago

Definitely got a little Joker Sting there.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 2 years ago (1 children)

The end of that Sting promo was hilarious. Is that what Joker Sting looks like cuz me likey

[–] [email protected] 4 points 2 years ago

I woke up to this playing one night after impact.

This episode has been absolute chaos

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

I should know by now that Orange Cassidy is a really fantastic wrestler, and yet I find myself surprised by his ability every time he gets in the ring. I guess the gimmick works.

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

I hated that he won the International title, liked Pac way more. Expected him to lose so many times in the middle. Idk when but around the Jarrett stuff it just clicked. Now I'm an OC mark

Yuta has improved but I don't think he's improved enough to end this OC title run

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

Yeah, he's grown to be great as a cocky, douchy heel. I'd be shocked if he wins though.

Idk what else OC had left. Neck, Back, Knee and now Orange Punch hand are all injured.

I like how in AEW the act of sitting down makes an interview even more serious.

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

Weird, I don't see this thread in the browser but I do see it in the Artemis app

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

I unpinned it. Could you let me know if you can see it now?

Don Callis and BCG have the right amount of sliminess and disdain for Kenny that makes it obvious in hindsight

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

It's a rib bro! Honest

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

He said yes!

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

Adam Cole and MJF just can't miss! MJF is going to kangaroo kick someone and it will be glorious!

πŸ˜‚ I now feel like BTYBB is two guys playing mind games with each other and occasionally remember what the ultimate goal is

And hugging so hard their pecs clap.
