Nah it's always live it's just gimmicked, they control the speed.

Tell that to Bill Watts in 1992 when he invented the gimmick and spun it live at the beginning of the PPV so they had to have props and whatever prepared for EVERY POSSIBLE OUTCOME for the main event

And it landed on coal miner's glove on a pole

wait...this is a shoot? I thought the cole miners glove thing was just a meme for bad booking (its obv still bad booking) but that is fucking insane lmao so dumb

I did think the original stip was to protect Oba in the second loss but now I think Tony may have signed his own loss

Yeah it's not something I get myself but i'll let them cook and see what happens. Breaking Oba's record just to put it back on him a short time later would be a super questionable decision

 

[Comrade Khan]

I get what you mean Chris, I have a hard time seeing Oba getting pinned with how he is getting pushed as an unbeatable monster. I am guessing the Don is a face atm too so it's gonna be a challenge to have him go over or protect Oba in the loss

I suppose they could have Oba's next feud cost him the match and pivot there

 

[Cwalker]

They didn’t want Oba climbing a ladder

But now they’re gonna pin him again

 

[Chris]

Yeah don't get me wrong, I do think Oba should lose still but any changes that feels like even a minor audible makes me question every reason why they might have done it lol

And personally don't think getting pinned again really hurts him, having some big guy take him out would be cool. Maybe like Ivar or Hammerstone for another one-off since they have history. The Ivar match never happened bc of the injury

Yes the first spin the wheel make the deal match between Sting and Jake Roberts at Halloween Havoc 92 was a shoot wheel and every stipulation was possible, some were really cool. They showed all the props ready before they spun it and everything

Why they would do that in general but also the day of instead of like a week or two prior so you can actually prepare for the stipulation is so insane

WCW wasn’t exactly known for their logic

 

[Chris]

I'm convinced Bill Watts actually thought the wrestling he booked was real somehow despite telling them who was winning bc of how obsessed he was with realism

 

[Comrade Khan]

we are so blessed the worst shit we have to deal with in bad wrestling pales in comparison to those eras lmao

even late 10s WWE was not this insane lol

 

[Chris]

Bro this is amazing

NXT Women's North American Champion Kelani Jordan vs. One Member of Fatal Influence​

Kelani Jordan will defend the Women's North American Championship against one member of Fatal Influence at Halloween Havoc.

Jordan has been embroiled in a month's long rivalry with the destructive group, but the faction won't tip its hand and reveal who will be challenging Jordan at the Premium Live Event.

Will the champion be defending her title against Jacy Jayne, Fallon Henley or Jazmyn Nyx?

​

Andre Chase vs. Ridge Holland - Ambulance Match​

Andre Chase is back, and he is determined to end Ridge Holland's reign of terror once and for all in an Ambulance Match.

Chase and his Chase U teammates took in Holland during his moment of need, and despite winning the NXT Tag Team Championship with his mentor, Holland snapped and destroyed Chase, Duke Hudson and Riley Osborne while Thea Hail was forced to watch.

During Holland's latest rampage, Chase made his triumphant return to NXT and attacked Holland, setting the stage for an unforgiving Ambulance Match.​

Calling into Busted Open was WWE Hall of Famer Bully Ray, who revealed that he’s traveling to Hershey for the Premium Live Event. He stated that alongside Dave LaGreca, he believes they’ll be representing Busted Open on the Halloween Havoc Kickoff show and PLE.

I decided to take Shawn Michaels up on his offer. When Mr. WrestleMania and the guy who’s running the show at NXT decides to invite you to Halloween Havoc, you accept so, I am on my way to Halloween Havoc. Dave LaGreca is at Halloween Havoc and we are very excited for the show tonight. I believe myself and Dave will be representing Busted Open on the Halloween Havoc pre-show and the actual PLE. So that’s pretty exciting news for us today and for Busted Open.

 

[Chris]

Peacock has this starting at 6 EST I assume that means pre show too

@Kross Rhodes this is tonight btw
