get a fucking fall already.

 

[Ricky Smarks]

Absolutely demoralizing. On the anniversary of the Briscoes trilogy. Goated commentary helping great storytelling. FTR getting desperate.

 

[Ricky Smarks]

get a fucking fall already.

Nah. This is amazing. FTR have BCG in their heads.

 

[Ricky Smarks]

I didn’t think they could top last week, but than they say let’s give these mothers an hour.

 

[R-Troop]

FINALLY! FTR only has one move that's capable of winning a match it seems.

 

[Ricky Smarks]

FTR finally conquered their demons. Now you’ll see their spirits lift and be more confident. Watch. Brilliant booking.

Gotta protect the finish.

All of that is true but it was getting ridiculous that they kept kicking out of the big moves (loved the counter of the Superplex/Splash). It took their finish in order to get a fall. So with all of that it feels like FTR only has one move they can win with.

Gotta protect the finish.

well yes protect the finish but you can have another move capable of winning a match. Why do all the other big moves if it won't win the match?

I don’t see that as a bad thing. The other thing is you’re talking about talents that have main evented with major singles gold. They’ll be more resilient than your average tag team.

by the way they used to call it the Big Rig (if I recall that was a Brodie Lee tribute) but commentary was calling it Shatter Machine (WWE name which they couldn't use I thought).

You could ask this of any wrestler really. They have moves that never win matches and act surprised when they don’t. Your average wrestler has two moves tops that can win them matches.

Agreed they should be more resilient. I just feel like they should have had the 2nd fall about 4 or 5 minutes prior, as the match is already going long. It's great but it's long as all hell.

Oh it's not just a this-match problem it's a wrestling problem.

 

[R-Troop]

and fuck this isn't good.
