Page realizes that there's more to life than titles after Dark Order sticks with him in spite of the loss. Kenny tries to rub his face in it, but Hangman is unfazed to the point where it drives Kenny crazy and he makes the challenge himself.

Omega's character isn't stupid, but it is megalomaniacal enough for things to go that way.

I wasn't thrilled about the result tonight, but I'm willing see how things play out because they've done well with long term storytelling.

Hangman should go late stage WCW Sid Vicious and inexplicably win 20 matches a week that no one sees.

I get why people think Hangman's chase for the title is over because of the stipulations for the 5v5 match but I have more than enough faith that they will book around it. This isn't WWE where Dark Order would be broken up the following week with no plan in sight and Hangman would be relegated to feuding with QT Marshall or whoever

The only thing I really worry about is that a bunch of people are conditioned to expect that kind of bullshit and may check out before they get to see the payoff.

It's a fine line to walk, but I think they can pull it off based on their track record. I do wonder if other people might not be so patient. But that might just be me being a broke brained weirdo that finds stuff to fret about in everything.

I'm not sure I'd count that as "blackface". It was a mask he removed. If this counts as blackface then Uno, the Blade, and Andrade are in blackface too.

I thought it was face paint at first and I was like "oh no no no".

I wonder if MJF not paying Gage will come into play later on, even though it's only been mentioned on Twitter for now. I'm pretty sure the stipulation of the Labors is that no member of the Inner Circle is allowed to interfere, so that leaves a loophole if they want to use it.

Not to be rude or anything, but how in the gently caress was it not completely obvious that Jericho was wearing a mask?

It was basically a split second of confusion for me because I'm not used to seeing him wear a mask. I was expecting face paint and my brain didn't process it immediately.

I wasn't hyped for Juvi, but who else from that era who worked with Jericho isn't either dead or retired?

The obvious choice would've been Malenko, but with him having Parkinson's that's not an option.

I guess they could've brought in Psicosis and his rad public domain theme.

Blitzkrieg was ridiculous, like playing a video of a WCW cruiserweight match at 1.5 speed on youtube.

For some reason there was a rumor at my school that he was X-Pac's brother. Wrestling was big enough that that was a thing that a fair amount of people talked about.

I guess it shouldn't surprise me due to the general state of the world, but it's funny that they keep harping on "violence is chasing fans away" when it's demonstrably false. At least find something more subjective to be disingenuous about.

Going through back channels to gently caress with sponsors is the exact same thing as making fun of something in a promo. I'm a very smart and serious person who understands things, as evidenced by the skull profile picture on this Twitter account.

I really, really, really want MJF to try and stiff Nick Gage on his payment because he didn't beat Jericho, and now Nick Gage is the loving paperboy from Better Off Dead.

MJF said something to the effect of "MDK no loving pay" on Twitter after the match. I'm hoping they go somewhere with it too.

I think you can do something with the rules of the Labors of Jericho in regards to Gage, because I'm pretty sure MJF said no Inner Circle members can help or the deal is off. I don't think there's anything in the rules about other people.

Gage is kind of a loophole there, they'd just have to reference MJF stiffing him on TV.

They're going to redo Sting vs Hogan with Omega and Page with Daniel Bryan as Bret Hart.

Kenny wins with a "fast" count, Bryan restarts the match but Hangman loses again anyway. Then Bryan challenges Hangman and Hangman loses to Bryan.

Since people brought it up earlier, I'm curious, were people this angry at Sammy when he said he wanted to rape Sasha on a podcast? That comment wasn't even in kayfabe like Caster's rap or an attempt at a joke, right? He just straight up said he wanted to rape her?

Not that one should be forgiven because it's less worse than the other but it's interesting how much more ire Max attracts every time.

People were really pissed off about Sammy, I don't remember if people were pushing for him to get fired but people were mad.

To be honest, I didn't immediately connect the Biles line to Nassar. So I was like "oh ho ho, mental health problems are hilarious" :rolleyes:
