Jay White is the freaking master of selling a 2 count, he made it look like the match was over damn near every time he was covered.
They just casually drop Swerve vs Tanahashi on us for Collision. That popped on screen and my kid and I just looked at each other like "did we really just see that"?
Super fun show, moved fast and had a lot to build but did a great job of creating interest.
I think promoting m/SC on a wider basis and trying to continue to grow this would be a great path to take. It might not be a huge success, it'll probably never have the amount of subscribers as r/SC... but it's a step in the right direction. And if by chance the Fediverse does continue to grow, we'll have a strong foundation here ready to go.
Also worth noting that while there are growing pains for kbin... there is signs that the growth is happening. And if the rumored mobile app does come, that would make transitioning here even easier for many. I think kbin is the way to go personally. Thanks for taking the initiative to get this started Kitty.
Love him or hate him...CM Punk brings more prestige himself than the average title match. Especially in a match that also has the Tag Champs, the ROH TV Champ, and Jay White.
Not saying the first Rampage was bad at all, it was a great show. But the biggest Rampage ever was the one where Punk returned, that was far more prestigious than the first Rampage and Punk didn't even wrestle that night.
I'll take this Women's match over Britt/Velvet, and this TNT Title match at least won't be a 2 minute squash.
That means Kenny/Christian (which was superb) basically matches up against the entire rest of the shoe.
If I was buying tickets... I'd be fine with this show. Hamilton is struggling mostly because it's literally one day after Dynamite in the same city at a smaller arena. Most fans aren't buying tickets for 2 shows on back to back nights, and Dynamite had the headstart and existing reputation.
