HERE WE GO, LET THE DARBY SPRINT BEGIN ๐คผโโ๏ธ

The blueprint for Allin's title reign, gimme that SPRINT ๐คผโโ๏ธ
Let's be clear
In order for this to be counterprogramming, AEW would have had to book the SAP center after TNA announced Slammiversary
Do you actually believe that happened? Or do you just want to be mad? It's fine if you just want to be mad, but be honest at least ๐คผโโ๏ธ
Here's a random fun fact: John Cena, Jimmy Uso, and Jey Uso are the only people in history to have won a championship from both Rey AND Dom Mysterio ๐คผโโ๏ธ
Wrestlecon promoter literally shutting down the "TNA is just protecting their talent" narrative by saying point blank Leon Slater wasn't losing is the funniest news of the day ๐คผโโ๏ธ
No idea how legit it was but I read they've been waiting to see if Nikki Bella can work Mania and if she can't then the kabuki warriors will have to take the Bellas spot in the women's tag titles match
Sometimes I worry that I'll become one of those DnD players that's only focused on optimization, minmaxxing, and powergaming
Then I remember I main Rogues ๐
Apparently my wrestling hot take is that because I'm under no illusion that what I'm watching is a real fight, I actually think the cleaner something looks the better. Sure, don't overchoreograph, but I'm never gonna complain watching any version of Ospreay vs Ricochet ๐คผโโ๏ธ
Despite what pockets of the internet claim, 99.9% of wrestling is a dichotomy. You're either a face, or a heel ๐คผโโ๏ธ
The 0.1% is Samoa Joe
The funniest part of claiming the qualifying matches for the IC title ladder match were on Main Event is half the matches they're citing literally happened before Penta even won the title ๐คผโโ๏ธ
And this isn't some TNA thing where they air months later, they air that same week
JoJo fans: Ugh, Stone Ocean's release was terrible! Batches of episodes months apart! That's the worst way you can do it!
Steel Ball Run: Hold my beer
Like, the 2006 Deep South
Deep South?
It weirdly got better once they just accepted that it was one level above developmental
Almost like NXT
Sometimes, I randomly wake up in the middle of the night and think "Wait a second, Mako Tsunami gave Joey Fortress Whale, but not the ritual card needed to summon it, what a dick!"
Best line from his Best in the World documentary
"I thought I was good, I mean I thought I was *real* good...then I got in the ring with Eddie Guerrero and I was like "Holy crap I. Am. Bad.""
I don't think it's an intentional humiliation or anything, but unfortunately a lot of old heads in wrestling still believe in 'paying your dues'
Which is it? Is he going to reinvent himself or is he going to come back with a HI GUYS
Nah, i knew he was losing, I was already ahead of time saying how lame it's going to be when they undo that stipulation
It's too soon to take the title off MJF, too early to put it back on Hangman (you either have him win it back immediately or he has to wait) and too many challengers being set up
The complaint that a match is too predictable never really made sense to me because I always thought 99% of all matches are always predictable, but then I learned that a core trait of ADHD is pattern recognition so maybe more of those matches are unpredictable to other people ๐ค ๐คผโโ๏ธ
The idea of it is just downright depressing
"They can just tell the story that Hangman can turn heel and-"
What part of the tsunami of "hangman did nothing wrong" makes you think I want to see that man turn heel ๐คผ
They didn't, not for Hangman fans
We got 6 months of good after 3 years of eating shit, I'm not on board with this finally paying off in 2029
I'm not going to comment on writing quality
I'll just say I would prefer to never see Hangman do that
I'm really not
Because if you can just say "i changed my mind" then the stip never mattered
Because it doesn't exist
No matter what happens, it proves these stipulations can always be undone
Because there's no scenario where the stipulation doesn't stick that doesn't kill the drama of any similar stipulation going forward
That's bad writing AND bad for the universe
Either they find a way out of the stip, or the stip sticks
The former is bad writing
The latter is bad for the universe ๐คผโโ๏ธ
