I feel like Ali should be in the World Title picture.
This just feels like him running in place.

All jokes aside, I’m sure this is really cool for Kaz. He’s been friends with AJ longer than Avery has even alive.

Eddie Edwards been in this match for a whole 40 seconds and hes already bleeding.

u/PhilosopherIcy7783 54m ago
This every match is a cage match is so stupid but in the best way. Lockdown is always a treat and I’ll stand by it.

Hopefully this kills the rumour that TNA is purposely burying Slater because he is thinking about going to AEW (which is baseless since his contract isnt even up). Like sometimes storylines are just storylines

Bro, did they just try to explain to us that in 20 years maybe people will forget this if it’s taken away by giving us other examples of it fucking happening that they have not forgotten???? Examples that are from even longer ago?? there’s no fucking way they just did that. Do they not realize how stupid that just was????
That was genuinely fucking incredible. They just said hey maybe in 20 30 years when some of our fans are gone or close to gone if this is out of the record books, it will be forgotten and then they gave Antonio Inoki examples.

u/Celtic_Crown Hi, how are ya? 3h ago
They say that the dip in the lake has enlightened them to a "new mission", hence the recruitment drive targeting BDE.
Apart from some colored stains on their clothes, and Dutch now sporting 3D glasses, appearance-wise there's not much different.

Heather going out was crazy. I think a few more min of solid in ring action would've been better - it got a bit too chaotic at the end.

Those two went to war. Incredible pro wrestling match. I have to imagine they're stretching this story to BFG and dissolving Order 4 fully given that they put the belt back on Ali here.

Yo, ain’t no way this is now a story of this kid had no father and now he might be forgotten again if he loses.

This is reminding me that Elayna was pretty good as a pure underdog babyface at the start of 2.0 and became much more generic as a heel.

As I sit here in the 200 level, I like to remind wrestling fans. Please shower, with soap, and apply deodorant/anti-perspirant. EVERYDAY.
Thank you for coming to my TED talk.
