Welp, guess they're not doing that spot anymore. The Authors are green but generally safe workers for their bruising style (or at least I haven't seen any obvious sloppiness from them), so this just looks like an unfortunate accident.

Yeah, there's no way to spot the landing when you've already got the guy up. Rookie mistake. Hope everybody's OK.

I still want them to reference his past in deathmatches some way, even if it were as simple as Ambrose recognizing him in a backstage segment and doing the whole, "i'm crazy, but -this- guy," bit.

Trading Fulton for Damo is the best possible direction for Sanity. Now aside from Young they're actually a Euro anarchist stable.

I like how they upgraded the Sanity faction while continuing Sawyer Fulton's gimmick of "failed gimmicks."

Reunite with Angelo Dawkins, Fulton. It's your true destiny. (Until you both get released in the post-Mania spring cleaning.)

Yeah I don't normally like to say "this was this guys fault" but straight up if he had pulled that poo poo on someone who mattered he would be out the door. You have to protect the job guys the same way you would protect a main eventer, because if you can't do that who the gently caress will want to work with you.

Alright, after seeing it a few more times I'll concede your guys' point. That was just a bad botch. I hope Bowens is okay and AoP use this as a learning experience (as in, "don't loving do that spot again.")

Goldust suggested a modification to the PTP finisher and was fired shortly after the match.

Here's the regular version.

The PC and Florida house shows are supposed to be that. I also don't remember anything getting notably hosed up in the TM61 match.

Yes, but the PTP are not the Briscoes. Plus the Briscoes do a lot of stupid, dangerous poo poo that wouldn't fly in WWE.

Just watched that botched AOP spot. That should have been a completely safe spot in theory but instead of powerbombing the opponent onto the lower to mid section of his partner he targeted the upper body and head.

Also that was a brutal knock out on the level of poo poo you only rarely see in the UFC.

There's a thousand fold safer way to do that spot, where it is relatively safe where the second guy waits for the first to hit the bomb before he starts doing his. The problem is that the second AOP guy was completely blind once he starts doing his move and can't make adjustments based on where the guy on the ground actually is as opposed to where he expects him to be.

It's one of those moves where the slower, safer version probably looks significantly better to boot.
