You know, I was going to point out the number of "shits". I wonder if that was the most times the word "shit" was said on a single episode of a major US wrestling television show? 24 minutes ago, The King of Old School said: If it was me booking (and I fully expect any stick that comes my way!) I would like to see it go to a 30 minute time limit draw, then on the next live edition of Rampage which I think is October 15th, go to a 60 minute time limit draw thanks to the Elite constantly interfering at different times to distract the ref etc. I'm not mad about a 60-minute draw (that length of match is just too long for my tastes) but I definitely wouldn't be against Danielson and Omega being unable to put one another away next week. It would make a lot of sense, and they would avoid having a repeat of the way they handled Christian/Omega. I do wonder how that result would be received by the crowd though, and would it take the wind out of the sails of what should be an otherwise hot show?

Paid Members Nick James Posted September 16, 2021 Paid Members Share Posted September 16, 2021 It still missed the landing, just like when they cut at the peak of a Montez Ford frog splash. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members LaGoosh Posted September 16, 2021 Paid Members Share Posted September 16, 2021 (edited) I hope after Miro wins Feugo Del Sol's car they have a segment where he smashes it up with his bare hands like in Street Fighter.

Generic, average in the ring and bad on the mic. His baybay schtick is embarrassing. I thought it was a good showing from him, considering Kaz seemed to get his bell rung early doors and looked sloppy at times. But you have pretty much said for Adam Cole what people were saying about Cena 15 years ago. The simple facts are the audience absolutely buy in to it. It may not be for you, it's not really for me, but you can't discount he is over like rover. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DavidB6937 Posted September 16, 2021 Share Posted September 16, 2021 Can't believe we're getting Omega and Danielson so damn quick but fuck it I'm not complaining. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members Supremo Posted September 16, 2021 Paid Members Share Posted September 16, 2021 I have no problem with Adam Cole in the opener, doing a basic match that ends naturally. It’s the overlong, “epics,” I can’t stand. Hopefully we’ve seen the last of them. Yeah though. There’s no denying he’s over as fuck. Remember when someone was saying the Young Bucks were burying FTR? Yeah, I bet Cash and Dax are gutted to be wrestling Sting on the biggest show in the history of the company. What a burial. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted September 16, 2021 Share Posted September 16, 2021 My only gripe with Cole is he is playing that tweener pre aew BC/Elite role as the bad guy who plays for cheers. Something we all expected the Bucks and omega to do when they turned, but they went the opposite way and went over the top and unlikable . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DCW Posted September 16, 2021 Share Posted September 16, 2021 I loved that show from start to finish. Callis is far better than Heyman these days too. Dying for next week. What a run they're on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've not been particularly impressed by his promos, they've been pretty unremarkable so far. Maybe it's just me, but I don't quite get what he's going for with the "story-time" line that he keeps using. He's perfectly fine, but I don't quite understand why the people who are really into him feel the way that they feel just yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members Nick James Posted September 16, 2021 Paid Members Share Posted September 16, 2021 Adam Cole is fine as mentioned above, when not doing the 30+ minute epic matches, but he is very much a 'soundbite' kind of guy with his multiple catchphrases and crowd interaction.

Yeah, I bet Cash and Dax are gutted to be wrestling Sting on the biggest show in the history of the company. What a burial. That was and is a hill I'm willing to die on. They went FIVE MONTHS from early February to the end of July without having a televised tag match. I remember seeing the top 5 rankings which showed Young Bucks, Varsity Blondes, & The Acclaimed had all wrestled literally twice as many matches as FTR in 2021. It's fair to point out that in the first half of 2021 they became part of The Pinnacle, a main event faction, which sounds like a big push. But they were then lost in various multi-man matches and they were on screen literally less than 3 minutes in the 32 minute Stadium Stampede match. I don't know what has changed since Cash's injury, but I'm delighted to see them on TV regularly now and can't wait for that match with Darby & Sting. The commentators constantly telling us they are the best tag team in the world made no sense for most of this year, but now they are finally getting their chance to prove it.

WyattSheepMask Posted September 16, 2021 Share Posted September 16, 2021 (edited) Great show top to bottom, although I could’ve done without CM Punk on commentary for the first half of the show. He didn’t add anything and could’ve easily just come for his angle. Even Shawn Spears didn’t drag the show down, and he looks much better for having dropped some size recently. He’s still bigger than he was in WWE, but he was comically inflated last year. Those cards for next weeks shows are incredible though. Good luck topping that with NXT Art Attack Edited September 16, 2021 by WyattSheepMask Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
