MJF has a crowd of people after him and Samoa Joe has promised to protect him. Which means, lol, MJF has put another challenger into a gauntlet situation without even trying.

I echo a lot of what people are saying here.

Great episode, flew by, but the C2 is off to a bad start with obvious results. Really, not one surprise? It doesn't bode well. Thenl worst was loving Switchblade winning with the utter bullshit ref cowering in the corner then kick in the balls win aka the worst loving finish in wrestling.

I would have had all upsets. Have Lethal win because Swerve is utterly hosed from Saturday. Have Rush win. Have Briscoe win. Create some surprises, dammit!

Also saw some people making GBS threads on Blue, and sorry, no. Ruby and Anna dragged her down to their level. Did you see that pathetic poo poo where Ruby "threw" Anna into the guard rail? Diabolical. Blue is way better than them but she's still not at the level where she can save that kind of match.

Anyway great episode

Swerve is not in a place where he should be losing to Jay Lethal ever.

Also if you were expecting a surprise and there's no surprise, is it really not a surprise.

I'm always really surprised how sloppy Ruby Soho is as a wrestler and it never fails to disappoint me. She could've been a decent babyface underdog if she wasn't so underwhelming in the ring.

I liked the Switchblade/RUSH finish because it wasn't protracted. It was quick, punchy, didn't feel too bullshit, and was done in a flash. Made Jay immediately seem like a real slimy bastard and RUSH is gonna hopefully go on a warpath in the next few rounds. Dug their match a lot.

I don't think Rousey is a one-and-done based on that match, which was a good one.

Her and Marina won and Rousey taunted Athena with the belt

Thanks for this! Is there a way to see my picks for the 1st form? I honestly can't remember who I picked to end up where and like with the G1 I intend to stick with my terrible decisions all the way through to the bitter, humiliating end!

(release the full match-ups Tony so I can do the MATHTM goddammit!)

Hmm, I can share the sheet after it's done, unsure about during...

Someone with more redneck google forms fu might be able to help me out

In the meantime, your Gold League Round-Robin rankings and match picks were:

  1. Swerve S.
  2. Jay White
  3. Mark Briscoe
  4. Jon Moxley
  5. ~~Rush~~
  6. Jay Lethal

Yeah. I liked it. Jay can get away with that blatant level of cheating and not have it feel like a cop out. Like Christian, he’s just that much of a weasel. And it protected Rush, who I think is going to get over so much from this tourney. I honestly think he’s the guy who’s going to see the most proportional benefit from being in it.

Fun dynamite but I didn't realize how badly the Full Gear poo poo completely cratered my interest in BTYBB... Found myself fast-forwarding until Samoa Joe said stuff. Max's mic work was awful and this whole angle feels like it's deflating. I hope they just pull the trigger on whatever it's supposed to be ASAP.

But, in more uplifting news, RUSH

Counterpoint: it absolutely did feel like a cop out

I'm tired of wrestlers just kicking people in the balls when the ref is distracted. It's become cliche and it's a lazy way for a heel to win while "protecting" the opponent. I thought the whole point of this loving tournament was to have straight competition with winners and losers (and draws), for it to be different to what we normally see. So far, it's same old. No reason why Switchblade couldn't have won clean. Hoping we don't see more of this.

Only his AEW stuff and his awesome recent match with Kenny in Japan that didn't end in a nut shot.

Just tired of nut shots in AEW. it's lazy. Find a new way to cheat. Don't book a tournament when you're loving scared to have people lose clean!

Curious: does the G1 have a lot of people cheating with nut shots, or are we just lucky?

He's been tapping into Aunt May's bank account!
Didn't I kill him with a HELICOPTER?
after 10+ hours of work last night i Slept in a bit, helped with cleaning, made dinner, played a bit of baldur's gate 3 with the wife and then went into a loving food coma because my idea of an easier thanksgiving dinner was carb bombs of biscuits, stuffing and a meat pie (latter 2 using home made turkey stock i had prepared last week! very tasty) idk if i'll finish dynamite today, I got *no* chance for Rampallision tomorrow, I'm scheduled to work 12pm to 10:30pm black friday, and then full shifts from saturday to monday.

-Swerve vs Lethal was pretty good, I really hope they strap up Swerve. Hell, I'd love to see him take the whole-rear end thing here if they don't wanna make him World Champion at Revolution.
-Stop trying to make that The Devil a thing! Pretty torn on this Joe segment starting with MJF saying he wouldn't do the match, obvs he will, it's fuckign Samoa Joe, he won't leave with a "no" specially to something they agreed with already. Ugh, "right here, right now" come on. Okay, there we go World's End hell eya "i love chicago, deep dish pizza, calm down" lmao. Oooooh the Samoa Joe Everywhere System. I liked where it ended but you could've cut at least five minutes in hte middle there.
-I like HOOK's halloween shorts. Everyone stop, stop, oooh a thanksgiving surprise IT'S A DANHAUSEN! No longer in hot water for selling bootleg AEW Championships on etsy
-Shibata is so loving cool. Imagine 4 eyars ago saying "Yeah, Orange Cassidy leads an all-champion faction with TAZ's son and Katsuyori Shibata, and also Danhausen is there on national tv"
-HOLY gently caress THE HAT THEY TRADED THE HOLDS, OMG OMG what a magical finish
-ok, adam cole not taking it anymore is nice, anything so this angle stops stagnating
-Hell yeah, The Patriarchy, gently caress chicago and their whats, oh no he'd disappointed in Luchasaurus :ohdear: "a name of strenght, of toughness" where teh gently caress is he going with this. Killswitch. Holy poo poo, holy poo poo playing favorites. I'm so ready for when Jurassic Express finally reunites and fights the Patriarchy. GOd, please give Nick your last name. awww, oh well, The Prodigy is nice, too.
-Aw, Killswitch is face-turning already? I was hoping a few matches under Killswitch before a returning Jack Perry pushes him to fight Cage. lmao her sell. "NICK GO TO YOUR MOTHA." HOLY poo poo THE CHAIR NOW AY NO WAYYYYYYYYYYY gently caress, Killswitch trying to do it was so loving good lmao. boo edge.
-RUSH and Jay White god yesss. God, RUSH is so cool. I really hope they strap up RUSH. Hell, I'd love to see him take the whole-rear end thing here if they don't wanna make him World Champion at Revolution.
-THE GREEN LAN PARTY, aw, Paul Turner is a spoilsport yet again. I love you, The Switchblade Jay White, I really do, but those chops don't hold a candle to RUSH's
-
-PAUL TURNER YOU loving PIECE OF poo poo, RUSH HAD THIS AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA gently caress. gently caress. poo poo AND PISS.
-Big Bill and his Big Glasses are a hell of a look.
-ok segment, lol at Skye Blue super losing the tv title threeway and then getting to interrupt the world champion. Hope Ruby gets her own theme again soon. Particularly rough start here oof. Match got a lot better starting at the double superkick tho, drat. Cool Hand Ang taking the spot Sammy and Kip had as "guy who cheats in women's matches so he can eat poo poo"? i think he can fit there did daddy magic say "CALL HER HOMER SIMPSON" lmao
-god drat i love Saraya and Matt as parents trying to keep those darn kids away from each other while violence is going on in the background. Pretty nice match, too!
-AR Fox that vest! Don't fukcing knock out AR Fox in a backstage segment wtf wardlow!!!!
-Mox and Mark are violence :allears:
