They are simple people, aren’t they @Chris lol

 

[Comrade Khan]

That’s what I thought. I remembered Lambert calling him a fake ass Cowboy not too long ago.

But if dude is over in Texas and you can guarantee a huge pop, throw his ass out there any chance you can.

Plus it’s an Adam Cole match so I won’t complain. As long as he keeps the Destroyers to a minimum

real talk he only uses it as a finisher, dont think he does it as a "normal" move anymore, thankfully

Thank God; because it looks so bad

AEW has been pretty great for Cole. Like his matches feel a lot better than some of his NXT ones, and I say this as a fan of his. The Christian match on Dynamite was excellent, and so was his last meeting with Hangman at Revolution.

 

[Comrade Khan]

I think being away from Shawn helps /s /jokes

I also think that speaking of Hangman, the fact that hes a cowboy but vulnerable is one of those genius character decisions because he appeals to sommany demographics because of it.

Someone put the time change in the thread title, please.

 

[Rosie]

yup. its pretty much Hangman's specialty match.

His and Lance Archer's really. Lance has had more, but Hangman does his Cowboy shit.

I think that Archer match has been one of the best in his reign too. It was really quite awesome overall. Like we all knew Hangman was retaining, but he felt like a legit threat the more the match went on.

Honestly, all of Hangman's matches since becoming champion have been good and each one slightly different. The Danielson series was long epics with storytelling and hard hits. Archer's was a brutal brawl, and Adam Cole's match really gave me NXT Takeover vibes of being indy-tastic with a story. Hangman has thrived in his matches as champ.

The only complaint about Hangman's title reign, which I do kind of agree with was the fact he has felt a touch like a second player in his stuff. Danielson kept attacking the Dark Order and he didn't get involved quite as much as he potentially should, Archer's was heated but too short to get to another gear (and Lambert is so controversial as a figure now and not in a good way), then Cole's, while it has picked up since the PPV, the angle seemed to be a bit more about the Bucks and ReDragon than Cole and Hangman and they could have had another couple weeks to flesh out their conflict (It is there, both former BC members, friends of the Bucks, etc).

 

[Swerve]

Sorry, I got confused.

 

[Chris]

The ratings for this show were outstanding.

This show happens this Friday I already had to move two posts in this thread to last week's come on man

 

[Chris]

Updated lineup:

• AEW World Championship Texas death match: Hangman Page (c) vs. Adam Cole
• Jon Moxley, Bryan Danielson & Wheeler Yuta vs. Billy Gunn, Austin Gunn & Colten Gunn
• Owen Hart Foundation Women's Tournament qualifying match: Ruby Soho vs. Robyn Renegade

 

[Chris]

Checking tickets again, the $30 ones might sell out but they still have plenty others open, I'm just gonna pick from what's left tomorrow cause the arena has a pretty great view from wherever you're sitting anyway. Even some ringside seats open for $250

 

[Swerve]

In my case the AEW World Title match is a no lose situation.

 

[Chris]

And I've bought tickets

Also don't forget to link this early bc of the early start @King Switch

“I also really like AQA, who is another wrestler [from] down here in Texas, and honestly I wanted to give her an opportunity and an Owen qualifier," Khan said. "I had looked at doing Ruby vs. AQA last week and AQA’s been sick so I hadn’t been able to get her in the mix.”

This makes sense, Renegade sister feels crazy random
