Colby Corino makes Cheeseburger look like Lashley.

 

[Hidden Blaze]

Austin Theory about to show everyone he's the future and I'm ready!

 

[Deezy]

I see Babatundé and I assume

Spoiler

Don't know who that is, you ain't hood enough

 

[Jimmy King]

Eddie Kingston and Shotzi Blackheart on the WWE network, I never thought I’d see the day. Especially Kingston, dude is a great promo.

 

[Kross Rhodes]

I honestly don't know anyone on this card except the people from NXT or Shine.

That said, I might stop in a couple times to comment if I switch over to Evolve for a hot minute.

Please feel free to chat in here if you prefer Evolve to AEW. It would be great if both threads got some love.

It's been 10 years of Dragon Gate USA and Evolve. Come celebrate.

Does Dragon Gate USA even exist anymore, though?

Nah but EVOLVE was originally started as DGUSA's sister promotion but when Gabe closed it bc he couldn't get Dragon Gate in Japan to send enough of their stars over, he made EVOLVE the main one. So this 10th anniversary celebration is counting DGUSA bc it debuted in 09 and EVOLVE was a few years later or so

 

[Kross Rhodes]

This Evolve main event makes me feel it could main event a 205 Live in the near future.

 

[Kross Rhodes]

I see Evolve has adopted the NXT black canvas on the ring mat. Makes sense.

Interesting use of the big logo in the center and then the repeating logos in the corners.

 

[Kross Rhodes]

Good to see AR Fox still going at it. I wonder why WWE hasn't nabbed him up yet.

 

[Kross Rhodes]

Was that guy goign for a Pedigree? Trips wasn't gonna let that happen.

 

[Kross Rhodes]

Was that a reverse top rope Spanish Fly?

Angel's Wings! Shooting Star Press!

That sequence was nuts. He started flying with the star before the guy completely bumped off the Angels' wings.

 

[Kross Rhodes]

Guy thinks he's a tattooed Finn.

 

[Kross Rhodes]

I like that this Capoeira guy has legit wrestling tights mixed with a loose pant designed to look like a gi.

Reminds me a bit of the Hardy Boyz pants.
