Looked at spoilers and it’s a gateway for a Lance Archer/Orange Cassidy match at Battle of the Belts
I'd be super happy about that if I thought there was any chance Archer was winning it. Every time guys like him and Bill wrestle it reminds me how sorely lacking in size AEW is. I don't think it should be the 90s or anything, but I would be down for a real unbeatable monster run. Aside from Moxley has any AEW champ ever been over 225-230? Maybe Jericho in his fat stage, which has unfortunately been immortalized in fight forever.
I heard they finally banned a bunch of shit after all the drama about the TD91. Thank god, maybe now that the agents have to approve spots we can get a little more focus on storytelling and I can finally shake my fear that I'm going to see someone snap their neck on dynamite. Totally cool with the tiger driver because it was a signature dream match on one of their biggest cards of the year, I just don't need to see action andretti and Aaron solo busting that shit out in a dark match to try and get noticed.....Unless they're doing it to Sammy, then I'm down.
I came to the conclusion the reason this Cole thing works so well is that he's not trying to be a badass or tough guy in this one. A smarmy, insincere nerdy douche forming a sincere relationship (at least on the surface) with the devil himself is the kind of thing that just works in the wrestling context. Kinda get some festival of friendship vibes from it, and that's high praise from me. Should be fun to see how it plays out.
Atiba I know you're usually in the loop on these things, if you see or hear about a sale on the game holla atcha boi. I'm probably going to gift it to some of my homies because they all say it looks fun but balk at paying $70+ for something they're probably only gonna play in social settings or with me. My old no mercy/wm2k tag partner told me he just picked it up though, so we're going to play when he gets a chance. Unfortunately this game somehow has a worse CAW mode than the 25 year old n64 games so we can't quite recreate Demon Semen in all it's glory.
Not super good now Twitter doesn’t let lurking anymore, but I’ll let you know
