oh, right, I keep forgetting that.

Maybe I just expect Canadians to be nicer than Phantasmo has been. No Canuck's ever spit on their hand before trying to shake mine before. :colbert:

didn't like the last two matches, but everything up to and including Cody/Dustin was loving incredible, and if the PPV had just ended with Cody and Dustin walking up the ramp Double Or Nothing would 100% be the best wrestling show of the year so far

even then it's still loving amazing as a whole and hell, it's probably still the best show of the year so far lmao

I guess if you are going to pull everything out do it in a career vs career match. Both guys are old and broken down, Virus is a bigger star but more broken down so you could convince yourself either guy would win. They did EVERYTHING in this match. Multiple dives, big top rope moves, head drops, lots of near falls. Crowd was on fire and the end was really emotional.

This is a special match. I loved it.

I'd say HM for the Fatal Fourway Ladder match, it was insane and crazy and had a cool loving ending but it was largely just a spotfest. An incredibly entertaining one, no doubt, but the only real "story" element was everybody teaming up to beat the poo poo out of the extra Forgotten Son.
