Season 2 of Twisted Metal starts taping this month so I don't expect to see Joe around for the next few months.

That turn was excellent. Literally skipping hand in hand up the ramp to celebrate and Mariah just whips the belt off the podium and fucking decks Toni with it with zero hesitation, it happening so quickly really added a lot. The kick to the ribs and the shots with the high-heel were stiff as fuck as well.

Great work by both of them. Mariah went from bubbly blonde bimbo superfan to just fucking stone-faced in the space of about two minutes.

So THAT'S why he really got fired, what a total retard.

Twitter was freaking the fuck out over them not resigning him, they absolutely jump to conclusions on literally everything

What would be the general consensus on Joe Hendry if he had joined AEW? The gimmick is a bit corny, but would the casual wrestling fan embrace it in the same way, or blow it off as "more corny AEW smark bullshit"?

Khan would either have him as the Joker for their corny Battle Royal, where he obviously loses. 3 months later he would get his first TV appearance in Rampage with a promo, states that only in AEW is where people can believe in Joe Hendry and where REAL WRESTLING IS. Maybe get a match a month later, have skits with the Bucks, then challenge for the International title randomly and lose, then rot in purgatory until his contract ends but at least he had a couple of bangers!

I do think casual WWE fans can embrace the gimmick due to it's meme potential.

Along with the parody music videos.

I think the Rumble winner next year challenges Gunther for the RAW World Title

Pokeyman Trainer Joe Hendry entered the Battle:

AEW and DC are announcing a partnership at SDCC.

I will die laughing if Cena retires from WWE just to reappear as Peacemaker in AEW.

Wouldn't it just be like DC Direct to action figures or whatever?

 

[Daddy's Little Kitten]

Toni's too good for AEW.

 

[Leaf Wage Slave Jr]

Toni's too good for AEW.

I feel like that describes most of AEW’s roster.

Like, there’s proper Talent in that roster, and I’d love to see it in the hands of someone actually competent. Instead, we have a talented roster being squandered by a coke addicted retard.

But enough about the 2010s WWE!

I haven’t seen wrestling since getting my hair cut at the barber shop when I was little, but I still have to ask: what’s the deal with the snakes?

Jake Roberts is gonna play 22 brother.

 

[Harm]

"You want to play Blackjack? I've got two of those too" is such an inspired line. They don't cut promos like that anymore.

 

[beautiful person]

But enough about the 2010s WWE!

AEW has basically become 2010s WWE, but with sloppier ring work. They're doing a lot of the same shit they criticized WWE for doing back when AEW premiered.

That Mariah turn was a breath of fresh air.

 

[CognitiveDeficiency]

Jake Roberts is gonna play 22 brother.

Now I see a lot of people online and in wrestling communities trying to tear down the old Snake with what they consider the "Worst promo of all time" but in reality we the masses have been too dumb to understand the level of kino that Jake was throwing down
>Everyone over the years have attributed the "You wanna play 21? I've got 22" line as being a sign that Jake doesn't know the rules of Blackjack
>In actuality what Mr. Roberts means is that he has a .22 Caliber gun, and that even if his opponent truly has the perfect hand he will not walk away the victor because Jake is vicious and will do anything to win.
>The line "Do you wanna play blackjack? I got two of those too" is then him saying that he has two actual blackjacks, a type of crude club used to bash people
>Finally the line "You wanna play Aces and Eights? I got too many of those" is probably the most kino of them all
>Aces and Eights goes by another name. They are called "Dead Man's Hand" because it is said to be the cards that Wild Bill Hickok, a famous outlaw, was holding when he was shot dead
>Jake is then implying that he has led a trail of men who thought they could best the snake only to wind up dead at his hand over the years.
It's time to face the facts, that even while ballooned off his ass on enough drugs to kill a bull, Jake Roberts could still cut a more cerebral promo than anyone else in the history of the business.
