to be fair, that is a very pretty bee. Sorry about the boring part - I will say that whether it is the attitude era or the Cena era or the....Elite? Internet? era? a face clearing house and beating up everyone who is getting in their way of the hated heel in sight for whatever reason, is always badass babyface shtick.

Thank you. Maybe I overreacted to the Wardlow segment. I haven't been feeling this show tonight, and I think that's all me and nothing to do with the show itself.

Either they have no intention of paying off the Julia Hart eye patch angle, or this is the slowest burning lower card angle I've ever seen.

Hopefully this main event wins you over. FTR are top guys

Best team in the world!

I get the Bucks aren't for everyone style wise, but they got everyone thinking BPJ was the next big thing for a while so they can work their asses off.

[KawadaSmile]

Tuned in for the main event. Young Bucks are balding.

I know that's been a long standing joke, but either they have the slowest moving male pattern baldness ever or they might be just dudes with big ass foreheads. I haven't noticed any changes in their hairline but everyone makes the same Balding Bucks jokes. 

[MoS]

This match is already better than their last match

They are balding in their crowns, even if their hairline hasn't receded yet.

This is a good match, bubbas. FTR Bald really is a better worker than FTR Mullet, tho.

Dax might be my favorite wrestler right now. Just does everything as perfect as possible. 

[strobogo]

Dax is definitely on a run right now

[strobogo]

This might be better than the FTR/Briscoes match

[KawadaSmile]

Young Bucks are very good when not being overly cute with their spots. FTR is great because they tend to have the match be "basic" yet excellent. The Tim Duncan special.

[sek69]

That was some fuckin tag team wrestling, bubbas.

[MoS]

Probably my favourite Bucks match in forever. Incredible stuff, and the right team won. Excellent episode of Dynamite.

[C.S.]

That was damn good!!!

THAT'S how you do false finishes!

[KawadaSmile]

Haven't watched an FTR match in a while. Good to see they are keeping the great form.

[WingedEagle]

Those were two phenomenal hours of professional wrestling.

Cole vs. Christian blew away any reasonable expectations and would be the best TV match in most calendar months.

Joe looked like a goddamn force of nature and feels like a natural in the promotion.  Caster is still basically useless to me but he took a good pounding tonight.

Then FTR & the Bucks blew away Cole & Christian while all of a sudden making FTR look like the best babyface team in the world.

What a freaking night!

[Coffey]

Good show. Hart/Shida was the drizzling shits but the main event more than made up for it. The Christian match was really good too. 

[Johnny Sorrow]

My feed is later, I just watched Joe kill Caster followed by the Lethal promo. Lots of fans shit on nostalgia. I don't. I love it. But I now feel really old popping for ROH 2005 nostalgia. Still love it.

[Lukeless]

I'm so done with Sammy Guevara.  He had an entire week and the best he could come up with was "American walk team."  The sign gimmick itself is no longer cool in any way too.  

[Johnny Sorrow]

Butcher is a guy Vince Sr. would have pushed as one of Backlund's 2 and done at the Garden Main Events. 1985 Vince would have had Butcher on the roster forever, into the early 90's. You know. The years where looking old and bald didn't matter if you were a fucking working monster.

[Johnny Sorrow]

Holy shit, Excalibur is marble mouthed tonight. I feel bad for him. You can tell it's frustrating him. I've been there.

I don't think Wardlow was ever a despicable heel, certainly not in a good year if he ever was, and certainly not a as recently as a month ago. Face banned from the building coming in to wreck house is a hot angle pretty much always in every area in every decade. 

And " Bodyguard of asshole turning face while crowd chants his name and then he starts destroying motherfuckers" is Old School wrestling booking 101.

Apparently, the live crowd booed the fuck out of him during that segment. It didn't come across on TV, but there are multiple reports from people attending live that said he was roundly booed.
