Two more matches announced, assume this is it for the card.

Also Jade Cargill vs. Skye Blue for the TBS Title

This is an interesting choice of a card for this special. That’s all I’ll say.

I need to update this later, once my Switch is here and I can hop on my laptop I’ll do that.

ya and this point they just 2 hour live rampages and the BOTB just means they do title matches that fsr are always forgone conclusions lol

 

[Comrade Khan]

still gonna be a fun show but best to call a spade a spade. dont blame them for not putting on ppv worthy matches 11 on a friday either I supposed

Got a feeling this is one of those BOTB that may not look as impressive on paper but the matches themselves will slap. OC hasn't missed as champion, and I think that Kip has been really good since his return, cutting some dope promos as well. I enjoyed those tag teams working together on Dynamite and No Holds Barred gives them opportunity to do some wild shit potentially. Looking forward to it.

I would tend to agree. I think they tried to put that doubt in our heads with the false result in the tag match on Dynamite, BUT with how sloppily it was executed it kind of was a lost cause. ALSO, I'm not completely sure Kip getting the belt is out of the question, sure OC has been great, but does OC really need that belt? Not only that but it seems that Kip is heading over seas for some time I think in either DDT or NOAH so maybe he takes the belt with him.

 

[Comrade Khan]

I agree kip could do it. Best chance of the 3 for sure

[Comrade Khan]

That is gonna rule

 

[Wiseman]

IT'S TOO EARLY! I'm still not over it.

I agree, I actually think will do it. The AA Belt seemed like it was meant to be a traveling title and Kip does way more Indy dates than Cassidy at this point. Cassidy seemed like a placeholder champ to get an over mid-card belt on TV while the TNT Title was in flux. That's obviously not the case anymore with Darby taking that belt back and already defending it again tonight. Plus Cassidy and Best Friends don't really lose any heat without the All-Atlantic belt.

Tag Team Title Match should also be a beautiful disaster is the most fun way possible
