I had no thoughts or anticipation of the possibility of a title change already and now it’s just going down to zero.

My one friend thought it was a chance they could win. I had to remind him where the PPV was this weekend

 

[Chris]

Secret service gauntlet lol

Speedball might be the first wrestler I’ve ever seen he’ll legitimately probably needs his kick pads.

 

[Hidden Blaze]

Is this taped or live by the way?

 

[Chris]

This is hilarious lmao

taped

I’ve mostly been exposed to x division high flyer speedball, but I’ll be honest, this kick machine that also throws suplex and does submissions is impressing me far more.

Shit, even him hitting repeated moonsault knees to kill these goons is good character work.

taped

I thought so. But one of the people I’m on discord with said it was live before PPVs and I didn’t think it was right

Jesus that was like a release, choke, slam variation of Ted DiBiase’s million Dollar street

they did that exactly one time I believe

 

[Chris]

And it was mostly a studio show

 

[Chris]

What a match

 

[Kross Rhodes]

See this is the type of stuff that when TNA does this they do better than almost anyone, because as a person who is not completely caught up on all all things speedball, I knew the storyline was leading to speedball being the one to beat Ali, but I was kind of ambivalent on it because I don’t really care too much about speedball, but this episode is going a long way in establishing speedball as a Character for me that now I’m on board.
