Everyone thinks Nixon, Pete Dunne and Zack Gibson are on the WWE radar.

I'm sure they are, but your problem is you get so deep into your scoops and rumours you forget wrestlers are just people. Not everything is a cover up, or has hidden meaning

A 21yr old valleys girl not wanting to miss Christmas with her young nephew is not unreasonable, especially if there is every chance she could just do the trip next year

Ciampa ain't taking the belt to Raw. Pentagón will win (and I'm super bummed that I will miss it)

They've already said that if Ciampa wins the belt will go to the winner of next month's tournament so I expect he'll win as a farewell.

And I wish I could go too... :smith:

poo poo, I missed that part. I still think Pentagón wins because losing to a guy who is leaving is always a bad look and AAW has good reason to keep Pentagón strong.

I realized that I missed an easy opportunity to say that Tommy obviously skipped out on the booking to make sure he was in top shape for the shows this weekend that actually matter, but I'll just play it off like I was being magnanimous.

Do people want me to post BOLA results in here like I typically do after shows? Or would y'all prefer to avoid spoilers?

so yeah pentagon beat ciampa with the project ciampa. match was hot because everyone was hot for ciampa but it had a couple botches that held it back from being particularly great or anything

i don't think you can take a better cellphone picture than this tbh!!!!!!!!

https://twitter.com/epitasis/status/771544170720702465

ciampa got the full streamers treatment before the match and did streamer angels. afterwards pentagon got on the mic and cut a promo saying he respects ciampa, I didn't get the rest because I don't speak spanish

ciampa gets the ring and the mic and cuts a promo saying before he left ring of honor he worked chicago ridge and he did a worked-shoot promo that didn't really make sense because he wasnt sure what his angle was supposed to be etc. but he said that yknow he was a problem child as far as the ring of honor office was concerned but so were former champions like cm punk and kevin steen. but he remembered some guy in the third row yelled out 'yeah but youre not them'. so when he left ring of honor he had a conversation with his wife that he would give it one year to either make it or he would retire. he came to aaw and said don't give me any angles, dont give me any storylines, just give me the best opponents you can and let me sink or swim on my own performance

so he says thanks to aaw and the fans his confidence in himself has grown every month over the year he was doing that. and then 8 or 9 months into his make-or-break year, he had his first nxt live tour in milwaukee, green bay, and in chicago, and in chicago he got to wrestle sami zayn, a guy who he has wanted to wrestle forever, and he saw the same fans there that he's seen here over the last year, and it's thanks to that and you guys getting behind me that i can say to that guy in the third row, you're right, i'm not them, i'm better than cm punk, i'm better than kevin owens, etc. great promo

so then he calls out a kid who he says would send him messages that always boosted ciampa's spirits on the tough days on the road. and he would message with the kids mom and she told him the kids story and over the last year seeing the kid's confidence grow as ciampa's confidence grew was amazing and drove him to keep going and keep getting better. so he says the kid Owen had asked him before the show if he sold any replica dr. doom masks. so he lifts the kid into the ring and gives him his dr. doom mask and raises his arm and every one chants Owen for the kid and it's pretty much a tear-jerker at this point

https://twitter.com/sourmoons/status/771551763467870208

so yeah then you get more singing along and the locker room emptying and stuff as seen in the full video and ciampa staying to hug anyone who wanted a hug

His match with Sami Zayn at that Chicago NXT show is still probably the best match I've ever seen live. It was honestly really awesome that he was some how getting dueling chants out of the crowd that night against Zayn.

i was watching irie's face as he left the ring and headed to the back when the please come back chant started and he instantly lit up like a million watt bulb and rolled back into the ring to bow and it was probably the most adorable thing at a wrestling show ever

also cedric vs michael elgin was superb gotta check that one out. it's very much worked in the spirit of 'tons of false finishes = better match' but yeah stole the show on a show with a ton of talent

edit: silas vs zsj was also very good
