tallmike Posted July 14, 2019 Report Share Posted July 14, 2019 I'm convinced Stunt's thing is that he's 11 and just shows up and they let him hang around. And the worst "evil" stable I've ever seen advances. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NintendoLogic Posted July 14, 2019 Report Share Posted July 14, 2019 I'm still not sold on the Dark Order gimmick, but I like them in the ring. I would have rather seen them in a regular tag match with Jungle Boy and Luchasaurus. Evans and Angelico didn't really add much to that match.

Kevin Ridge Posted July 14, 2019 Report Share Posted July 14, 2019 Dark Order feels like a TV job team. I guess you need someone to lose in the first round in the tag tourney. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blehschmidt Posted July 14, 2019 Report Share Posted July 14, 2019 Jungle Boy and Luchasarus are gonna end up super over, and I love it! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
goodhelmet Posted July 14, 2019 Author Report Share Posted July 14, 2019 I don't give a shit what the Dark Order look like. They were great. They absolutely have to lose the Dark Order evil bullshit gimmick. Wrestling wise, they have tag teaming down. Lose the fucking gimmick. Jungle Boy and Luchasaurus looked great. Angelico and Evans looked... there. I need more Luchasaurus/Jungle Boy and i need more of the Super Smash Brothers sans stupid gimmick.

C.S. Posted July 14, 2019 Report Share Posted July 14, 2019 Perception is reality though. They really need to lose the WCW Saturday Night jobber look and gimmick. Until then, it's impossible to take them seriously. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

C.S. Posted July 14, 2019 Report Share Posted July 14, 2019 This match is a great example of time limits really meaning something. The invisible clock added exponential drama to the match. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
C.S. Posted July 14, 2019 Report Share Posted July 14, 2019 Commentators sounded dumb as fuck thinking that was Dark Order and not immediately recognizing Jericho. I realize it was supposed to be a "mystery" but it was obvious from the get-go. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kevin Ridge Posted July 14, 2019 Report Share Posted July 14, 2019 As a casual this didn't help put over Page as a worthy candidate to your world title. I can only assume Jericho is going to wreck his knee big time which from a story point of view is the only real acceptable outcome here.

tallmike Posted July 14, 2019 Report Share Posted July 14, 2019 I disagree. To me, that felt way too long for what was an Adam Page showcase. They weren't doing a time limit draw when they did one on the last show. And I can't tell if them lingering on Jericho so much prior the beatdown while the announcers looked dumb and oblivious was a production breakdown or not.

NintendoLogic Posted July 14, 2019 Report Share Posted July 14, 2019 Page/Sabian definitely overdelivered. The leg injury angle made it much more interesting than it would have been otherwise. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

C.S. Posted July 14, 2019 Report Share Posted July 14, 2019 We talk about how bad the Dark Order gimmick is, but So Cal Uncensored is the epitome of a local indie gimmick. Wish they'd retool it to have national and international appeal. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Coffey Posted July 14, 2019 Report Share Posted July 14, 2019 Hangman Page feels nowhere ready for a world title shot. Meanwhile Luchasaurus looks like the biggest star in the company. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Childs Posted July 14, 2019 Report Share Posted July 14, 2019 Big picture, this show has not really held my interest. Hoping the main event sends us out on a high note. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
