I agree actually. They are young and green, but they move well and look easily teachable. I hope they do well.

They also seem to work a relatively safe style despite how much they move and how green they are (their chain grip could admittedly use a little work). The appeal of hoss teams has tended to be about how stiff they work, all the way back to the Steiners, but I'd rather see more Rusevs than Straumans.

All it comes down to is this: I feel like shit, but look great.
I agree with you in theory cuz no one should ever get injured during pro wrestling but hahahahaha Scott Steiner just screwdrivered that jobber right onto his head.

The older Author of Pain is 23 and they have Paul Ellering traveling with them. If they keep their heads down, they've got a really high ceiling.

I think Ellering is only there for TV tapings, except for the the California shows which were also taped for TV.

I also prefer them pushing young 20 year old talent, than old 38 years old talent that are nearing or are past their prime.

The powerbomb sandwich is a fantastic hoss tag team spot, and I really appreciate how comfortable they look with countering aerial tag offense, e.g. catching a dive from one opponent and then catching his partner as well. They're really good at pulling off memorable, impressive moments safely

If she's pushed right I could see Daria being credible enough to beat Asuka eventually, even just as a transitional champion. MMA vs Joshi murderkicks has potential, where nobody else in the division has really been credible enough yet unless it's via cheap wins.

Daria vs. Asuka could be the kickmurder match Joe vs. Nak was supposed to be. I want this.

Also glad to see I'm not alone about Tucker & Otis. Those guys rule.

I don't like Daria because she doesn't look like a Mortal Kombat character.

They did Asuka vs Daria at our San Jose house show and it was a pretty good match. Their styles work really well together.

Man I would become the worst possible fan of a deadpan "over it" lady wrestler who beats the gently caress out of people. I'd put on a hundred pounds just so I could be her version of the house-sized guys in Hugger shirts.

I have altered my retirement plans. Pray I do not alter them any further.
It's too bad Portia Perez retired, I can't think of a wrestler who played the "gently caress this wrestling noise" character better.

When the drug test comes back positive for performance enhancing drugs.
Daria could be a good contender for the NXT belt if they build her well. Right now, Ember Moon is just a finishing move (albeit a very impressive and badass finishing move), but Daria has an impressive look and character that looks like she could actually take Asuka in a fight.

i'd like authors of pain a little more if they shook up how they looked, maybe drop the whole "we dress EXACTLY alike and it's tough to tell the difference" come on paul, make it like hawk and animal and give them each something distinguishable. I'd dig it if they had facepaints.

AMReese

I'm driving with my mind!
They should come out with those face masks more often, maybe wear different forms of camo (one jungle, one urban). It's kinda easy to tell them apart now, since Rezar has large tattoos along his arm and chest, but who knows when Akam will start wanting to wear tattoos as well.

I'm not making a fucking QCS thread for this but seriously can we take a harder stance on Kiwifarms freaks like this guy, Jesus Christ seriously, you used to be better at knocking these creeps down. I guess ADTRW mods aren't responsible like GBS mods are.

That or the Trish match from the Toronto WM, yeah. The former might be better worked, but the latter had more stakes due to the angle (an angle that I wish I could say wouldn't fly today but they basically ran it with Paige and AJ about 18 months ago)

this is why I actually like the post-TakeOver episodes a lot, with only two matches they spend a ton of time on promos

apparently there were some pre-SmackDown NXT tapings yesterday, suspect those might end up being next week's episode
