Rules: (Click to expand)

1. Be Civil.

Users are expected to be civil and inclusive towards one another at all times. Remember the person on the other side of the screen. Hate speech, racism, sexism, homophobia, transphobia and other inflammatory language is prohibited.

2. Keep content related to wrestling.

Any content posted should at least be related to pro wrestling somehow.

3. Spoilers.

Do not spoil events for people. If an event is going on, please keep discussion contained to the/a discussion thread for 24h after the event. Do not post spoilers in titles during this period. Use the spoiler function when you need to, it's there for a reason. Should your post involve a url to a spoiler (Twitter, YouTube video, etc) please mark the thread as NSFW as well so thumbnails are blurred.

4. Vague/Editorialized Title.

Please keep the titles of any articles you post clear, understandable, and indicative of what the article states within. It's ok to alter the title if the original is clickbait and confusing, or contains a spoiler like a debut that just occurred that day, but do not add your own thoughts to it.

5. Sexualized Content/'Plot'.

Please do not post any pornographic, 'creep shot', or similar adult-related material to the community (regardless of connection to wrestling). Wrestling content that involves sexualized content (in storylines/matches/promos) is fine, as well as photo's wrestlers post to their own social medias. Butt-shots you take with your cell phone at a house show aren't.

Aww don't cry Michael Cole! You're gonna make me cry!

[–] Brain@lemmy.zip 4 points 7 months ago* (last edited 7 months ago) (1 children)

Samantha, Triple H, Michael Cole, it's great to see the entire team excited and happy for the story to come together and end like this. It adds to the entire show for me.

[–] dumbass@lemy.lol 4 points 7 months ago

Yeah it was a shock hearing her struggling to get words out, then cole choking up and you could see how proud Trips was. I haven't felt this excited by a match for a long time, like I was standing on my couch screaming like I was 10 again.

As Michael Cole said at the end of the show "God damn it I love professional wrestling!"

[–] kubj31196@lemm.ee 3 points 7 months ago

Cole has been an absolutely phenomenal part of the Cody story

[–] dumbass@lemy.lol 5 points 7 months ago* (last edited 7 months ago) (2 children)

There better be some funky shenanigans soon or calling it bloodline rules was pointless. This is just a no dq match.

Edit: YES! LET THE SHENANIGANS BEGIN!

[–] Brain@lemmy.zip 4 points 7 months ago (1 children)

Right, why did The Rock, still pissed at the Cody Crybabies not come to do commentary or something, we know he's there.

[–] dumbass@lemy.lol 4 points 7 months ago

Either he's gonna come out near the end of he's planting the seeds of hate, making us want something like him talking shit on commentary unrestricted.

Did The Rock invent time travel?

[–] Travon333@lemmy.world 4 points 7 months ago

Being tan, jacked and bald really helps

[–] dumbass@lemy.lol 5 points 7 months ago

ITS JOOOOOOOOOHHHNNN CEEEEENAAAAAAAAA!

[–] Brain@lemmy.zip 5 points 7 months ago (1 children)

Tonights ad count is a lot less than last night, guess they decided to not go so overboard.

Prime Logo remains on mat and turnbuckles for tonight.

Rollins - McIntyre

At least at the start no ads except Dude Wipes on the posts... replay by snickers and WWE 2k24, assume all replays are like last night.

Gin & Juice by Dr Dre & Snoop Dog sponsors the Final Testament vs. Bobby Lashley Group.

---- Missed everything up until Heyman walked out ----

Logan Paul - KO - RKO

Obviously Prime everywhere. Prime pimped by announce team. Prime truck, like the Austin Beer Truck or Angle milk truck. Prime hydration station is back again.

Announcers push Peacock ad for new streaming tv show about Rome or something.

Bayley vs. Iyo

Dude Wipes on posts.

Roman Reigns vs. Cody Rhodes

Brought to you by 2k24, over 200 superstars available now worldwide!

Dude Wipes on the posts... apparently last night they realized they went overboard because tonight has been very tame with no ads on the wall or apron from what I could see.

[–] kessleragain@beehaw.org 3 points 7 months ago

I thought my brain got used to all the ads last night and was feeling proud of myself. That is definitely fewer ads lol

[–] Brain@lemmy.zip 5 points 7 months ago (1 children)

I'm a little disappointed that Bayley didn't come out with the Bayley Buddies... instead, she had a knockoff version of The Boys.

[–] GeekFTW@lemmy.zip 3 points 7 months ago

Local Enhancement Boysβ„’

[–] dumbass@lemy.lol 5 points 7 months ago

Randy Orton telling KO to slow down on the golf cart was the best part.

[–] Brain@lemmy.zip 5 points 7 months ago (1 children)

Cody Rhodes with the Young Bucks in the video package, that's a little odd to me considering the Punk stuff going on right now.

My phone lost sound during the Seth/Drew post match, can anyone recap the Drew/Punk interaction?

[–] Travon333@lemmy.world 2 points 7 months ago

I didn't catch it all but Drew was basically telling him not to comeback because he'll end his career.

Punk was saying that it should be all about Drew but he's still worried about him

Roman took his eye off the ball for revenge on the one betrayal that has shaped the Tribal Chief the most

[–] dumbass@lemy.lol 3 points 7 months ago

For one brief moment tho I was on Romans side, you want to dress up like the traitor you gonna get hit like the traitor, a well earned receipt, but then it was back to usual.

[–] dumbass@lemy.lol 4 points 7 months ago (3 children)

Are we sure AJ styles and Johnny (insert company/show name) aren't the same person?

Hey guys how do we make the Final Testament match against Lashley Group even more misplaced? I know, let's make Bubba Ray Dudley the referee! WTF that's random.

Soo I think Ishowspeed just got killed by Orton lol can't stand his stuff but gotta respect taking a bump on a table that didn't break lol.

[–] Travon333@lemmy.world 4 points 7 months ago (1 children)

The maldad Cody actually did it

[–] GeekFTW@lemmy.zip 2 points 7 months ago

ngl I doubted.

[–] dumbass@lemy.lol 4 points 7 months ago

Man Samantha does ring announcements like she's trying to get all the gangs together.

[–] Brain@lemmy.zip 4 points 7 months ago (1 children)

My god I love Seth Rollins' outfits.

[–] GeekFTW@lemmy.zip 2 points 7 months ago

The man is a menace, I love it.

[–] n7gifmdn@lemmy.ca 4 points 7 months ago

Where did this Zydeco come from? They look like they belong in New Orleans, not Philadelphia.

[–] CCL@links.hackliberty.org 4 points 7 months ago

Yes Stephanie we are ready

[–] Travon333@lemmy.world 3 points 7 months ago

This ungrateful crowd should be thanking Drew not booing him

[–] Travon333@lemmy.world 3 points 7 months ago

πŸ˜‚πŸ˜­πŸ˜‚πŸ˜­πŸ˜‚πŸ˜­

Tasteless of Punk to attack Drew unprovoked

Damien cashes in finally

How long until Gunther is WHC?

[–] Travon333@lemmy.world 3 points 7 months ago

LA Knight really worked his way into a singles match at Wrestlemania in less this quick

[–] Travon333@lemmy.world 3 points 7 months ago (1 children)

Logan is about to get his shit pushed in and somehow steal it πŸ˜‚πŸ˜‚πŸ˜‚

[–] Brain@lemmy.zip 4 points 7 months ago* (last edited 7 months ago) (1 children)

It's got to involve that person in the prime suit, I wonder who it is, usually when it's KSI they don't have the face mask covered like they do tonight.

[–] GeekFTW@lemmy.zip 3 points 7 months ago

I have no idea of any side-person who joins Logan as I'm 40 and don't care about Logan Paul and his activities, but whoeever it is got dropped lmao.

[–] Brain@lemmy.zip 3 points 7 months ago (2 children)

I missed everything from the Lashley winning to now with Paul Heyman coming out, what did I miss? Fucking city code enforcement made me move my car from the same spot it's been in for 5 fucking years, assclowns.

[–] dumbass@lemy.lol 4 points 7 months ago

Well after the Lashley match snoop told everyone, not so slyly, he was gonna go get stoned, then I also did the same and yeah that's all I got.

[–] Travon333@lemmy.world 3 points 7 months ago (1 children)

La Knight beat AJ Styles and a HoF package/Ad

[–] Brain@lemmy.zip 3 points 7 months ago

Cool, I think that was a good decision, AJ Karen's been asking for a beating for weeks.

[–] Travon333@lemmy.world 3 points 7 months ago (1 children)

The shenanigans have started

[–] dumbass@lemy.lol 3 points 7 months ago

And what shenanigans they were! I'm so glad no one was home during that.

[–] hellothere@sh.itjust.works 3 points 7 months ago (1 children)

Genuinely surprised they've actually put the belt on Cody. Good on ya.

[–] GeekFTW@lemmy.zip 3 points 7 months ago

If they hadn't done it this time I think there may have been a riot lol

[–] Travon333@lemmy.world 2 points 7 months ago (1 children)

πŸ˜‚πŸ˜‚πŸ˜‚πŸ˜‚So each guy started with 5 finishers stored

I’ll admit to not watching for a while. But, I gotta ask: was there really nothing that could take the slot currently filled by Hurt Business Lite vs. vaguely generic House of Black rip-offs ? Maybe they needed to fill 3 minutes in the whole show?

[–] Travon333@lemmy.world 2 points 7 months ago

Ehh, it's obvious certain people are big enough that they pretty much should always get a match. Lashley is getting the Profits and Kross some time.

Same with Bianca, no way she gets left off and we got a Jade showcase, Naomi and some Damage Ctrl out of it
