Wrestling Thread 7: FTR Baldhausen • Page 1804

I'm really happy I finally came around on Rush. He never did anything for me when he was in ROH but he's won me over hard since coming to AEW.

 

WOR saying tag titles won't be on SS with KO's injury. I fucking hate everything right now.

 

UGHHHH

 

That’s such a fucking shame because him and Sami have been such a delight.

 

Those two have been so reliable with carrying the wrestling portions of the shows. The crowd actually cares about the main event matches now even though it’s basically been the same 6-8 people involved for a couple months.

 

I’m not saying this to put him or you down but what has he done? I don’t remember the last time I’ve seen him on tv. Granted I haven’t been watching as much. I was surprised he was already a free agent

 

WWE tossing out big contracts to KO and Sami is probably some of the best money they've ever spent (and it's unbelievably well deserved, of course.) Those two are able to fill in any gap, move up and down the card logically when necessary, and fill a whole bunch of TV time without feeling terribly overexposed or drawn out. Owens being out of action for any length of time is a big hit for 3 hour Raws.

 

He's put on entertaining as fuck matches. His ROH matches always bored me but ones he's had this year have been fantastic.

 

Have they been on Dynamite or Collision? I guess I’ve just missed them

 

Dynamite, Rampage, and a few ROHs.

 

this is just the name of the Fite service, i have it rn

 

I would love if more wrestlers did this.

 

Jericho did that didn’t he?

 

I believe so.

 

not sure a bunch of sparsely available wrestlers with commitments to other promotions is the solution to the women's division issues in aew

 

I like pro wrestling because its the only medium where you know someone won a conversation because their music starts playing

 

Big Bill and Satnam Singh in this battle royale.

 

Randomly watching matches on YouTube as background noise but the Taker vs Kane match from WM20 caught my attention because my god Taker’s haircut/style in that match is fucking horrid lol. Easily the least intimidating he ever looked. Like a mix between the emo bowl cut/swoop style and a dash of Karen haircuts mixed together.

 

it's really incredible how the WWE has gotten us so invested in Jey vs Roman next week at SS despite everyone knowing how it's gonna end haha

 

My worlds are colliding in a way that I do not care for lol
