Dude, the overhyping meme was so much fun for the IWC. I don't think anyone actually thought he could do what he did.

And then when we saw he could actually wrestle... It's amplified by 10000%.

 

WE ARE ALL 🪝HOOKERS🪝 GOING FORWARD

What's crazy is the province he lives in, has the best cellphone plans in all of Canada because they are run by the govt.

Everywhere else we get fucked hard.

I have no idea. 

That would be a federal mandate, their cellphone plan is purely provincial.

I can't imagine losing all those limbs. I grew up watching him... It's terrible but it's one of those deaths... I totally get. It's rare I can say that but I get it man.

Whenever I see Lance Archer I always think of the Rock n Rave Infection first.  RIP indeed, but I have to imagine with how badly his health was declining that the writing was on the wall.  

 

Here's an interview he had with MarkyD.

OK Gacy & Harland have my attention, one of the few bright spots in 2.0. Harland definitely has a massive upside once he moves past the Jason Voorhees gimmick

KO signed a new WWE deal. The AEW zealots are pissed about it.

Get that bag Kevin. You know there has to be an extra zero or two this time around in his deal.

 

But look who I met!  Sadly I used up my budget so I couldn't hang out with Dustin and Guevara too.

Out of everyone there, the best of the lot are the New Breed 2.0, them, Raquel and Cora Jade.  I'm a big fan of Dexter Lumis but I wouldn't be shocked if he's on borrowed time. I remember Road Dogg saying Priscilla Kelly AKA Gigi Dolin of Toxic Attraction would never get hired after her tampon incident, but that was before Johnny Ace brought back his casting couch.

Jaguars Tony Khan has spilled into pro wrestling if he allows this to happen.

Bruh, Hook was at the Spiderman premiere!

 

[HD-Man]

Eh, reusing the same draw finish for Page/Brian that they did for Omega wasn't the best idea, especially so soon after,probably should've went with the DQ finish here, didn't ruin the match tho.

It's was WWE-like move doing the same thing over so quickly. I get neither guy needed a loss, but there was better ways to end it.

WWE would never have a 1 hour draw in the modern era. 

 

Also I think it's building a weakness into dragon. He can't finish the job while keeping him looking strong.

I'll take the time limit over DQ. A draw is better than bullshit. It gives both guys a reason to want a rematch.

The draw isn't the issue, the issue is they used the same finish not long after already doing it, and with the same guy (Brian) no less

 

Yall kinda overlooking my main talking point, I'm fully aware the purpose of a time limit draw is to keep both strong

 

And the dig at WWE is more about them being predictable using the same finishes again so quickly after another. I'm not saying the match was bad, but I personally did not like the reused finish and no mental gymnastics will make me change my mind

 

Hope this clarifies what I'm saying

Again.. It gives dragon a weakness. 0-2 in title matches... He can't win the big titles no matter how bad ass he is. Thought he'd walk through everyone to the title

Time limits in matches is just a dumb idea from the past anyways.

What does that even mean? Lmfao this is prowrestling.. Every rule is from the past 

[HD-Man]

So I'm hearing KO doesn't have a "no cut" clause in his contract. Meaning they can still future endeavor him at any time for any reason. He must REALLY trust WWE to sign that 😬

When was the last time you saw time limits being implemented in wrestling? Hell I don't even think they do that in AEW that much too either.

Bruh AEW does time limits all the time. It's common occurrence.

Time limits? A bunch. Pac vs moxley, Prowrestling Noah does it alot. I recently saw a match where their was a match with a 15 min time limit that went to a draw I just forget where.. But Def in the past year or two. Njpw had one In2021.

The TNT title in AEW almost always seems to have a time limit tied to the match. Usually 20 or 30 minutes IIRC.

That’s the equivalent of their TV title yeah? If so that’s not surprising. During most of NWA and WCW’s history their TV title matches were always 15-20 minute time limit matches. On the occasion there was a TV Title bout on a PPV I believe they’d bump to 30.

I also wasn't a fan of the draw, but I understand why it had to be done.

It was either that or a DQ finish, a distraction roll up finish or a double count out.

 

I think this was the lesser of all evils.

No way Bryan was losing or winning the title on free TV.

 

You could say TK played himself into a corner, but we got a great match out of it.

[Psychoblue]

Maybe Tony phoned it in because he had to deal with the Urban Meyer drama.

3 months ago when AEW did it with Byran vs Omega. New Japan makes regular use of time limits.

 

I like the time limit. It adds an extra layer of tension to matches that run long. Every sport has a time limit. Why can't wrestling have one?

Anything after Luke Harper left became non-canon to them, hence why it was so cool of the Fed to deliver multiple heartfelt accounts of him.  

 

Given what was going on in the world, it's also possible they were dealing with more pressing matters in their lives than keep up with wrestling.

You would think that. Until you see the exact same people in every wrestling news related tweet. The first part of what you said is definitely right, pure casuals.
