Darby vs. Christian should be fun. But this is what I'm really looking forward to...

[–] Montartemis@artemis.camp 3 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Are you trying to get me to giggle until I pass out?

[–] TellumSiege@kbin.social 5 points 1 year ago (2 children)

I was this close to making it the thumbnail lol

[–] Neon_Carnivore@kbin.social 3 points 1 year ago (1 children)

If you don't make it the thumbnail on Wednesday, I will.

[–] TellumSiege@kbin.social 3 points 1 year ago

This might be my favourite threat ever.

[–] Montartemis@artemis.camp 2 points 1 year ago

Your willpower is greater than mine

[–] TellumSiege@kbin.social 4 points 1 year ago

You know shits serious when it's filmed in letterbox

[–] Travon333@kbin.social 4 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (1 children)

😂😂😂 Is Ricky the first suspended wrestler to get a promo, vignette, and full entrance with Pyro?

Also getting some HBK with Diesel vibes from these 2.

[–] TellumSiege@kbin.social 3 points 1 year ago

😂 Has to be. And great call on the HBK/Diesel reference.

[–] Travon333@kbin.social 4 points 1 year ago (2 children)

Darby Wtf man. It's a random Saturday Collision, why are you coffin dropping the apron

[–] Montartemis@artemis.camp 2 points 1 year ago

The man has to have bones of rubber

So is Andrade officially not in LFI anymore?

[–] Travon333@kbin.social 3 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (1 children)

The difference between Nigel/Kelly giving the match card rundown and Excalibur doing it is jarring.

The two shows definitely have 2 distinct feels and I feel like they both picked the right roster.

Dynamite is pure chaos and literally anyone could pop up. The commentary team also just feels like 3 bros taking.

Collison is way more structured and less busy. Matches are either obvious squashes or given enough time to breathe. Nigel/Kevin/JR also feel more like commentators

[–] Montartemis@artemis.camp 5 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I love Taz, Excalibur, and Tony. Their chemistry is fantastic!

[–] Travon333@kbin.social 2 points 1 year ago

Yeah they are awesome, but the same reasons I love them on Dynamite would be detractors on Collision

[–] Travon333@kbin.social 3 points 1 year ago

😂😂😂Nigel is such a simp. Did he just say Christian would retain?

[–] TellumSiege@kbin.social 2 points 1 year ago (2 children)

Is that the first time they say 'cardblade' on TV?

[–] Travon333@kbin.social 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I watch on Fite TV but I feel like Austin Gunn said it either in a promo or on commentary.

[–] TellumSiege@kbin.social 2 points 1 year ago

That makes sense. I figured I missed it lol

[–] Montartemis@artemis.camp 2 points 1 year ago

I think so lol

[–] TellumSiege@kbin.social 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Was Dalton okay there? Seemed weird the way he stretched his arm out.

[–] Montartemis@artemis.camp 2 points 1 year ago

I think he was reaching for the rope

[–] Montartemis@artemis.camp 2 points 1 year ago

I always pop for the Jay White cardboard cutout

[–] TellumSiege@kbin.social 2 points 1 year ago

BCG out here giving Schiavone a palm reading

[–] TellumSiege@kbin.social 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Damn can these four cut a promo.

[–] Montartemis@artemis.camp 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

They're such a good group
Putting Juice and the Gunns together is just fun

[–] TellumSiege@kbin.social 2 points 1 year ago

I wasn't sure about their chemistry at first but they've really meshed these past few weeks. I'd love it if they could find a fifth...maybe a big man or something (Big Bill? Hobbs?)

[–] Travon333@kbin.social 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

😂😂😂 Idk why Schiavone agreed to interview then. He has to know he would get bullied

[–] TellumSiege@kbin.social 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

He looked like sour boy everytime they put his hand up 😂

[–] Travon333@kbin.social 2 points 1 year ago

Tony is amazing at subtle indignance when someone is rude to him

[–] Montartemis@artemis.camp 2 points 1 year ago

Play that leg, Juice!

[–] Montartemis@artemis.camp 2 points 1 year ago

HoB doesn't donate to Goodwill is now canon

[–] TellumSiege@kbin.social 2 points 1 year ago

C'mon Ricky, say Stroke Daddy...

[–] Travon333@kbin.social 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

That Pounce looked NASTY

[–] TellumSiege@kbin.social 3 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Absolutely. Diamante looked like she was an inch away from hitting the corner of that rail 😬

[–] Neon_Carnivore@kbin.social 3 points 1 year ago

Dude, I was thinking the same thing.

[–] TellumSiege@kbin.social 2 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (1 children)

@Montagge can you see this? I know they couldn't see the Dynamite thread...

[–] Montartemis@artemis.camp 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I can on Artemis but not kbin. When I follow your message I can see the thread but no comments.

[–] TellumSiege@kbin.social 2 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (1 children)

Thanks for the update.

Weird. It's been happening all week for me (Getting error messages whenever I create threads). At this point, I don't know if it's me, Kbin, or something else...

[–] Montartemis@artemis.camp 2 points 1 year ago (2 children)

Ditto, and I assume it's on kbins end. The two that I visit the most are being weird, but squaredcircle for some reason is worse. No idea why. I thought I had fat fingers blocked a bunch of people by accident, but no such luck.

😂😂 I'm already loving the relationship between Toni and Lexy

[–] TellumSiege@kbin.social 2 points 1 year ago

Toni's old Hollywood gimmick is so great. The most impressive part is how quickly she's pulled it off.

[–] TellumSiege@kbin.social 2 points 1 year ago

Dang. I guess that's all we'll get from FTR :/

[–] Travon333@kbin.social 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

So is Miro going to kill QTV to redeem Hobbs?

[–] Montartemis@artemis.camp 2 points 1 year ago

He's going to steal QT's spray tan and reveal him as a pasty fraud!

[–] TellumSiege@kbin.social 2 points 1 year ago

Hasn't been mentioned yet, but the FTR/Bucks match is now official.

[–] Travon333@kbin.social 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Christian should call himself the "Real" TNT champ.

[–] TellumSiege@kbin.social 2 points 1 year ago

I put a trophy next to his name for a reason

[–] TellumSiege@kbin.social 2 points 1 year ago

Spear, huh? Isn't that someone else's move...

[–] Montartemis@artemis.camp 2 points 1 year ago

It doesn't pay to be Tony Schiavone this episode lol
