Brian Cage will leave Team Taz in a fury and join up with Jake the Snake. Archer will leave and join up with Taz.

DARK Elevation tonight

so much loving wrestling

Nyla and The Bunny are tagging because they made a connection over how much they hated teaming with Madi Wrenkowski

Are they turning TH2? If so they might be a fun pairing with Archer.

They are not doing anything with TH2

It was really hosed up of whoever to just take a picture of Shida after she collapsed rather than help her up.

I was going to say 'because he's not ready yet. He's still dull as dishwater despite being stupidly amazing in the ring for a 22 year old'
Then I remember the god pop he got last night.

They just like the song. It's a good song!

I was so scared for Christian that they were going to put him over JB by the end of that Battle Royale, he would’ve gotten “Hogan is the Third Man” level trash thrown at him.

I was also worried, and I think that was the intent. Smart booking! (maybe)

4 more Elevation matches: https://twitter.com/AEW/status/1399399018770448384

They all look good apart from the Acclaimed match, and I only say that because I don't know who the brothers Tate are.

I think the reaction to max in the BR was another huge testament to that, dark and elevation do what they are intended to do folks

There were just chants of "Var-si-ty" on Elevation.

Yeah, The Acclaimed, Varsity Blonds, and Men of The Year are TK pairings. I think Sting and Darby too.

Chaos Project too. I think Tony Khan views the singles stars as halves of tag teams he needs to find the right partner for.

some Dark matches have been announced (this guy posted them on twitter)
Bear Bronson v. Jungle Boy
Cezar Bononi & Ryan Nemeth v. Billy and Colten Gun
Robyn Renegade v. Kris Statlander
Diamanté v. Red Velvet
TH2 & Serpentico v. V, Stu Greyson, & Alex Reynolds

Robyn is pretty good, that trio is pretty weird.

Did anything ever come out about exactly what happened in that Leyla/Shanna match? To my eyes it looked like Leyla locked in her finisher and Shanna didn't want to tap out to to it for some reason, then Leyla legitimately locked it in to force her to tap. It was really weird, felt like Shanna went into business for herself.

I don't think Sapp bothers to report on contentious matches on Elevation, but it definitely had a weird feeling at the end. That was her last match too so maybe you're right.

It's sad that some wrestling fans think that if you put a snake in a bag, the snake doesn't exist anymore.

Men of The Year are really growing on me.


I'm glad that they found a way to keep the "Reach! for the! Sky!" bit. It's a really good bit, and would have been tragic to lose it.

Here's the elevation match, imo the weird and awkward pretty much from the beginning, and there was definitely some real anger on both sides by the end.

I watched Double or Nothing, I have seen a little of AEW from episodes of Dark (though I mostly watch Colt Cabana matches), so most of these people were new to me, or I only know by mention.

I was very impressed by the event, I can't remember the last time WWE put out something even close to being this good. Orange Cassidy is definitely one of my new favourites.

Out of interest, what made you decide to give DoN a try? I presume it wasn't that match Colt had with the Man Scout a while ago.

also my kid popped harder for that match than anything else he saw, including his favorite OC getting those near falls.

in particular, the staple spot made him go pretty wild

I hope you told him that was a misuse of the stapler, and should never be copied.

Braun Strowman beat Goldberg at last year's Wrestlemania for the Universal Championship. Something is very wrong in WWE if that's one of the people released.

From what I understand, there isn't "something wrong" in the sense that they're heading for bankruptcy. Just the opposite, in fact, they're doing very well. But management made the decision that further growth isn't really feasible so the only way to increase profits are to cut costs to the bone.

I am DYING to see what the design for Rampage is, like will it have a different set, graphics etc...

I hope it will be green.
e: Dynamite's cards have a deep purple background with red highlights, Dark is gold, Elevation is black and white. Make it green or pink!

Being honest? PnP

Who I want? Penta+PAC

I have decided Death Triangle are the first Trios champs, and so do not expect any part of DT to win any gold before that.
As for PnP, I really want them out of Jericho's orbit but that's probably not a necessity for them to be the champs.
Anyway, I think it will be Chaos Project.
