Probably not for a little while at least. She's quite busy with SEAdlinnng. I'd bet VENY shows up by the end of the year though.

I really enjoyed the show this week, but didn't enjoy the finish to Christian and Hardy, just felt weird that at 8 Christian got up into the ring, Hardy turned away and kill switch.

Yeah match was good, finish was not, moreover the Killswitch is a bad finisher with an awkward elaborate setup.

It also calls the event All Out 2021: Where Champions Are Made. Make of that what you will.

It's what Cody called Chicago is the announcement promo, probably because he thinks Chicagoans are marks for people putting our city over (he's right.) Plus belts are going to change hands/waists.

Why isn't Jake Roberts managing Chaos Project with Luther bringing out Serpentico in a bag

Been saying this

That act needs a mouthpiece a whole lot more than Archer does. Heck, he usually pushes Jake out of frame and does the entire promo himself these days.

Yeah it's weird that Christian is so married to a crappy finisher that isn't really that over - like he's been doing it for years and I've never really cared about it.


I skipped some pages so maybe it's been discussed already but can we talk about how good Ricky Starks' spear looked on Cage? Best spear I've seen in aaaaages.

You've got to admit, you are kind of implausible



Why would Chaos Project need a manager/mouthpiece when you have Luther screeching "We're Winners!" at the top of his lungs.




And it's me; I like the Killswitch.

turn it all around

The Killswitch does indeed stink, for the reasons mentioned and because you have no control over how good it looks. The person taking it can either faceplant nicely or be overly safe about it.

I feel like all of Christian's signature moves were always weird and too elaborate. Maybe he can just take the Impaler DDT as an ode to Gangrel.

I mean I think it's one of the reasons Juice Robinson has hit a wall in New Japan. The move just doesn't look good or looks good on set up

The TayKO also looks goofy for similar reasons, she used it again for one of her more recent matches and I hope it’s not a permanent change and she sticks to the DDTay.

I know Danhausen seems to be doing fine without AEW and his act might not work on TV, but this would be awesome. On the other hand Maki and OC did fine.

If we're talking about how bad and overly complicated the Killswitch is, can we also talk about how bad and overly complicated the One Winged Angel is? Like just hit a Michinoku Driver, you don't need to awkward shuffle the guy around on your shoulders for 10 seconds before to give it more impact.
