What did double take rate Hogan vs Rock at 18? I mean crowd was heavy into that one

3 stars :pachaha:


After watching the match back I'm mostly just :manny: on Cody vs Dustin. They smoke & mirrored (:skip:) it by doing the same shyt Cody did at All In. Brandi got involved & Dustin got blood while they didn't do much, but the crowd was going to respond to whatever any of the Elite guys does bigger than anything else so their set either way.

Match was fine + moment was great, but the actual match had a lot of stalling and was a bit contrived for spots but it was fine. These ratings dont mean anything since there are 9 stars

As for Cody vs Dustin. Mos Def MoTN but I give it 4.75 at most cause the ending was underwhelming.

I felt like it was an awesome territory grudge match, with a finishing sequence adapted to the current times. I wouldn't say it had anything that would stand out from most of those awesome 80's matches (besides the last 5 minutes, of course), but the fact that they were able to pull it off in 2019 was really fukking impressive. I wouldn't call what they did "smoke and mirrors", but it was certainly more welcome than your typical 2019 brawl/blood feud match. The match felt so different than anything we see nowadays that it's understandable that it gets people more hyped than usual.

Also, adding blood to a match can be as much of a plus to it than a hot crowd too, imo. Specially when it goes out of hand like this time and it's treated in an way that it feels special. Cody's blade job at All In was so bad I'm still convinced he didn't even blade and used Rock's fake blood trick :pachaha:

After that nerd cac tried to compare the word "mark" to "******" i dont give a shyt about his opinion on anything.

It really blows my mind how TSC has let that gone by without much discussion. And I think Dave has doubled down (don't ask me how) on that argument :mjlol:

"I mean, you know. It...it doesn't mean the same for wrestling. It was a business term back then you know?" :why: :dead:

I remember having a back and forth on here with someone who claimed that fans wouldn't fukk with this match :usure:

The standing ovation in the building and this say otherwise :manny:

I respect the fact that Cody knows he's not as over as Kenny or The Bucks so he's putting himself in spots where the fans can get emotionally invested to bring the vibes to the match. Did the same thing with Aldis at 'All In' going after the title his father won. :ehh:

Both he and Dustin deserve it.

Yes he mentioned that in his media scrum.

All of them are different, so they play to their strengths and maximize it.

Cody can actually wrestle and work a good match but people like to shyt on him or he kind of gets outshines by Bucks & Kenny cuz they are more crazy with their shyt

not even the best match on the show.

the bucks/lucha match was the best on the show...…but it wasn't better than the ppv matches that the luchas had with LAX. and I bet they all got lower ratings.

hell, i'd take rich swann/sammi callihan over cody/dustin.

rebellion >>> double or nothing

It wasn't bad or anything, just feels like a match that in 6 months I won't remember shyt about besides Cody's TNA level look at us fukkery entrance, Dustin bleeding everywhere, & the post match promo stuff. Meanwhile you got people like Dave (I know it's Dave & AEW) saying shyt like it's a match he'll remember for the rest of his life :yeshrug:

There wasn't one really rememberable sequence move/fukkery wise in the whole match to me that I can even think of right now & it's only a week out.
