I’m so glad AEW is down with blood (and guts).

I can second that Yuta/Moxley was excellent as hell.

not shocked at the sammy/tay reaction. their shtick is not going to win anyone over and it's especially disheartening that Tay is now firmly entrenched as just The Girlfriend in this go-away heat storyline

He stood up to Regal, was able to go hold for hold with Danielson and has bled with Mox. Can't wait for him to be the first BCC protege.

When I first heard there was a Yuta/Mox match on Rampage, before I caught the results, I immediately thought it was a great chance to give someone an unexpected win and shoot them up to superstardom. It sounds like Yuta was massively over and they had a hell of a match, so ultimately I think he's getting a big boost despite the loss, but wrestling in general doesn't tend to do the surprise "low-card/rising talent beats a big deal main eventer" all that often (like, if it properly happens as a clean win once a year it's a rarity) and I think that's kind of a shame since it generally seems to work out quite well! 1-2-3 kid beating Razor worked well, and Ellsworth beating Styles was surprisingly entertaining. In general, I feel like almost any talent can eat a loss in a hard fought and well set-up match and still be seen as a big deal. To me the only time that should be off the table is when someone has a proper winning streak storyline going, ala Goldberg in WCW and Jade in AEW right now. Brock beating Undertaker's streak is the gold standard of unexpected wins, but it's possible to create that same sort of feeling at any given time with much less of a buildup to it, while also giving the fans that "anything can happen" vibe. Wrestling will surprise me here and there regarding who wins, but in general on a standard weekly show I either know who's going to win or don't care all that much who wins. That feeling of not caring can be present even in insanely good wrestling matches; for example, I didn't particularly care who won the FTR/Bucks match on this week's dynamite. Conversely, if it was Best Friends vs. FTR for the titles, for instance, and instead of getting my expected FTR win the Best Friends won, that would have been a more exciting match result despite the match itself undoubtedly being of lower quality than FTR vs. the Bucks. Anyway, Yuta/Mox got me thinking about this sort of thing, and now it has me hoping that we see this kind of "star making" moment with one of the top people in the company losing to a rising talent on a random Dynamite or Rampage. I think that dynamic works best with just a smidge of storyline buildup and a strong performance by the rising talent before the match they would win (Yuta had this going on leading into the Mox match) and without necessarily needing to get titles into the mix, so it seems like a useful tool to have on any wrestling booker's toolbelt.

The Yuta/Mox match is everything the internet is building it to be. Dunno if this will make tv, but when he was accepted in, he took the blood off his own face and wrote BCC across his chest. Boston has had two absolute bangers after Dynamite now with the Omega/Janela lights out match and now this.

That's your big thing right before you wrap up the show right there for sure! If you're okay with letting a guy gush blood during a match and airing it, you gotta allow that! They can cut absolutely anything else for time as well, but they better leave that in !

History Comes Inside! posted:Redemption for every single one of us on team ‘Sammy and Tay come off like the heels with this cum belt segment’ They said that as revenge for Dan calling Tay a whore, so that alone didn't bother me. But when they also broke his car, and then still held up signs a week later saying "we want revenge", it's like OK how much revenge do you really need? Lambert didn't escalate or get back at them in between those events.

But posting the pic showing that they actually did have sex with the belt made it very icky.

the cue cards are fine as a gimmick to cut a promo during a picture in picture commercial, they're just awkward if you're watching on fite when he's just standing there with his music on loop progressing to drawing piles of poo poo and calling team lambert 'american plop team' is where things go really south. flashbacks to the worst wwe 'funny' segments

I thought sammy was legitimately good as a kind of comedy relief guy in the inner circle. It suited his personality perfectly. His abysmal singing to Judas in the empty arena era is the reason people sing it now

I like Sammy cause he’s constantly trying to murder himself with flips for my entertainment. I like Tay too cause she’s constantly trying to murder other people with kicks for my entertainment.
