I will say I'm not a huge fan of that second Hangman segment, mainly because 'give our pal space to sort his head out' is not the same as 'let our friend get the poo poo kicked out of him'. Like... that's being bad friends, Uno/Stu.

In wrestling internal turmoil is solved through exterior violence.

Miro and Malakai were put over insanely strong and they both look loving incredible. Insane that they were just tossed aside.

Hey I'm sure if Black was still in WWE he woulda gotten a distraction rollup win against Big E by now and they'd be on their 7th match.

sometimes you cant tell somebody poo poo, they just have to work it out for themselves

it seems like over the top wrestling bullshit to most people, but that was the realest thing on the whole show

I am amused that Cody let himself basically be squashed... and then made himself the focus for the last 10 minutes of the show. It's either genius, hubris or maybe both.

And the mercy seat is awaiting,
And I think my head is burning,
And in a way I'm yearning,
To be done with all this measuring of proof.
An eye for an eye
And a tooth for a tooth,
And anyway I told the truth,
And I'm not afraid to die.
I'm stuck on that my custom text now is someone applying a sarcastic Community quote to make fun of them to me. Its beautiful.

I love the storytelling in this Hangman/DO/Elite stuff. When Adam tried, repeatedly, to leave the Elite they told him no. Not only no, but gently caress off and know your place.

He tells DO he needs some space and they respect his wishes - and everything it entails.

Kaz is just a chaos entity.

have a feeling that Cody can't be done until Malakai says so and he's going to terrorize the Nightmare Family awhile and maybe take a protégé

I get the feeling they're going to do the full story line they planned between Cody and Brodie but were never able to finish.

It's a nice tribute to the man.

Imagine how gratifying that must be for Tommy. On the shelf for so long and then the new company immediately makes you look like an absolute beast

People get heated about Cody winning the little feuds like the thing with QT, but without that it wouldn’t mean so much when he gets completely trucked

Only caught about half of this again, may go over the rest on DVR. But it looks like they're continuing to do things good.

They're turning the Dark Order's loss into another obstacle on Hangman's weird Hero's Journey, testing his character- and making sure that yeah, Kenny's still in his sights, it'll just take a little bit longer. They probably shouldn't draw this out too much but so far it's working?

Leyla Hirsch being a tiny monster continues to rule and I want to see her vs. Kamille, if it's gonna be on an NWA show I guess I better find out how to watch it.

And yeah, they instantly made Malakai Black look like a fuckin' beast. And I LOVED Cody's concussed promo. That's the way to do a fake-out retirement. (Well apart from wearing a salmon suit.)

Nonsense. I have not yet begun to defile myself.

I like to think Uno is smart enough to know saving Hangman there would only make him resent it and leaving him alone would maybe get him to go "Wow this was a stupid idea"

the crowd, and me, just want to see Malachi kick Cody in the face 100 times in a row. Any talking Cody does just serves to build tension, leaving me on the edge of my seat anticipating the next time Cody gets kicked in the face

The subtle part of that segment was probably that Adam only threw the punch instead of communicating anything productively because he was a bit sloshed and that's part of his fatal flaw, the pain and shame of failing even against stacked odds causing him to retreat into coping instead of processing his disappointment and moving on, whenever he loses he thinks there has to be this big explanation and dramatic shift in his life that upends everybody and his relationships instead of just taking it on faith that he's allowed to fail and then try again

Same, but he could gently caress off with that ladder match spot where he got helped to the back then had picture-in-pictures of him being in pain in the back then heroically returning at the end. Still, overall, I try not to get mad at cody over every drama segment.

This is the pseudo HHH poo poo I like about Cody. He got his poo poo kicked in, rambled incoherently, then got wrecked again. He got all melodramatic, gave a wink to dirt sheets stuff like the EVP drama, and is showing all signs of retiring. The difference is that he lost definitively. Something Trips hates doing for anyone.



Edit: the Ogogo stuff didn't feel tongue in cheek, for a comparison
