"I've had better nose bleeds while fukn"... Jim u never seem to disappoint with the stuff u say 😂😂😂🤣🤣🤣
It definitely had Brian cracked up
@@herculez6087 shit had me like wtf did he just say lol
This match sucked. There was no reason for it to happen, there was no elevation in the animosity of this “feud” that would require a Texas Death Match.
Tony Khan Books 1 or more Garbage gimmick matches on one of his shows every week absolute Laaaaaazy Booking
Right. You would think Cole robbed Page of the title by stealing a win. None of that happened.
You’re so right. He literally had one in his LAST FEUD!
Just gonna repeat what Corn said
This is definitely my favorite artwork ever on this channel🤣
Iconic
Talking about Adam Page's punches makes me think of Mick Foley trying to figure out the secret of Terry Funk's punch. Then in his first match with Terry he said Funk punched him with full force in his head and then Mick suddenly knew the "secret" lol. These guys are out here doing 450 slashes onto tables and not caring whether they got hurt or not, but they don't want to take a punch to the face. You can't have both.
This match was pure garbage lol I knew cole was gonna lose and that spot when Paige was bleeding on his chin 🤦🏾♂️ was just awful 😂
It looked like the past two matches Page has had.
@@segagenesis7708 all the matches looks the same every week it’s a table spot a crowd fight spot and thumbtacks
I disagree. I thought both matches were really good.
@@DeathofaNINJA I think your opinion is trash
Chairs don’t mean anything anymore, especially since a 50 year old Sting no sells them every single time.
I really don't know why they did this, Page just had a "Texas Death Match" literally match before his last match was this match.
You know what, you’re right. I’d forgotten. He didn’t have another singles match in between his match with Archer and his first match with Cole.
Pretty sure the last reg Cole match was between, but yea it feels really close together.
@@MilkmanC That was what I was saying There was only a match between the Texas Death Matches
@@aaronrumph3291 Actually 2 title matches to be exact before Texas Death Match III. Like:
- vs Adam Cole in standard match at AEW Revolution 3 PPV
- vs Dante Martin, also in standard match at the Fallout of AEW Revolution 3 on AEW Dynamite. Which coincidentally was the shortest AEW World Heavyweight Title Match, by which Uncle Dave gave it a ⭐⭐⭐½.
Jerry didn't go to the Rabbi. He went to the Catholic Church confessional to complain about Tim Whatley. One of the more legendary episodes of the series, in my opinion.
"tell me your sins"
"First I must mention I'm Jewish"
"Oh that's no sin"
I just went and re watched that 🤣 I'm glad my dad watched Seinfeld when I was a kid
@Patrick Wernham that made me smile, you're a great dad
@Patrick Wernham My daughter turns 8 soon. I think she's about ready to become a Seinfeld fan.
I've been wanting to get into it, is it as funny as others make it?
5:15 I watched a dvd of World Class Championship Wrestling, Kerry Von Erich vs Chris Adams. Kerry punched Adams once in the face. Adams bumped and sold for it. The crowd went wild and Kerry turned to the people encouraging them to cheer louder which they obviously did. They were jumping up and down for one realistic looking worked punch. Now they have to use thumbtacks, barbwire and pizza cutters in order to get 1/10 of that pop from the crowd.
This ain't 1972 anymore. You tried though 🤣😂🤣😂🤦🏽♂️
@@ericdraven8784 lol it has nothing to do with the year man, it has to do with the people being behind someone enough or despising them. If MJF hit a cheap shot or bailed from the ring against Punk in their fued got good heat. Its all about the characters and the amount the crowd is invested while keeping their suspension of disbelief. This shit of just doing moves back and forth to each other(while assisting one another to do them) is more boring than OVER wrestlers just chain wrestling. Look at Punk, still the most beloved Babyface in the company while doing less moves than 95% of the roster.
@@ericdraven8784 no, but they did the same thing for Austin this year. So…
@@alexmontgomery3656 Look at when Wardlow just placed MJFs ring on the apron. Bigger pop then any double 450 though 8 flaming tables. Characters and story > crazy spots.
@@ericdraven8784 your reply is worthless
Adam Page DEMANDED the match (Which, as Jim says, isn't an actual Texas Death Match). And just when he has Cole tied up and has a barbed wire chair, ready to do maximum damage, HE SHOWED MERCY. I was ready to turn this off right then and there. I only kept it on, because I was watching with friend. You demanded the match and made threats on Cole's physical livelihood, and all of a sudden when you have the chance to maim him, you drop the chair and show mercy? I don't care what he did after that. That was dumb.
@Sega Genesis Dude thank you! The only reason I didn’t turn because I needed to know what Corny was going to reference in his review.
U kept watching cause ur a mark don’t try the “ I was watching with a friend “ lie
I think the idea was Cole was helpless and even though Page wanted to wreck him, a "good guy" wouldn't beat up a helpless tied up person, as that's a villainous action. Unfortunately it didn't really come across well and made Page look like a dope and the match sucked anyway.
@@spiritplanes2453 You call me that but you’re the one using wrestling insults.
Page came across like a guy who brings a gun to a knife fight and intentionally loaded blanks. Totally unwilling to commit to anything.
IWC when Bayley refuses to hit Alexa: "This killed Bayley, Alexa and pro wrestling. WWE is garbage, and they can't tell a story! I hate sports entertainment, I just want to see wrestling!"
IWC when Page refuses to hit Cole: "Wow, what interesting and subtle storytelling. Indeed, I must be watching Shakespeare, the drama and conflict on Pages face was absolutely impeccable, superb acting! I love pro wrestling. Oh my, the intermissions almost over, I better grab another brandy before act two, and get my camera ready in case they all kiss in the ring again!"
Daniel Bryan calling out these flops as fickle was still the best thing I've seen in wrestling in years. Too bad he had to drop that gimmick because he put the IWC on suicide watch with his honest take.
A cowboy, a dinosaur and a blogger 😂
3 months later it's exactly the same 😂😂😂
That nose bleed joke omg had me lmfao
The problem is that none of these guys are actually tough or crazy, thats why they have to tell us every freaking week how hardcore or unhinged they are. The guys back in the day RARELY ever had these kind of matches cause they were ACTUALLY tough and didnt have to prove it all the time! All you had to do was look at these guys are hear them talk!
You can tell by the audience as well. A lot more women came to the show, because guys like Hall, Nash, Austin, Taker, legitimately gave off that tough guy vibe, but like you said, without having to go to these lengths to prove it every other day.
@@segagenesis7708 Dam that's actually true. Women at the shows look like gamers and nerds while the women back in the day looked straight from the club.
@@Nestle245 Yep. That is why the women fan stories from back then are so crazy. Bret used to be mobbed like the Beatles when the WWF toured Europe. They’d be ripping his clothes off and everything. Kevin Nash told a story of being at a bar and two women from the show, showed up and sat at the other end of the bar. The Bartender came over and told Nash that his drinks were on those two women, courtesy of them. Nash basically said, on a scale of 1-10, they were a 15. He said they looked so good he immediately thought it was a set up and that his wife was behind it. Think back to times back then when the Rock or HHH took off their shirt and you’d hear women screaming in the crowd. Godfather even talked about how easy it was to get strippers to come on the show as his ‘hoes’ because when he went looking for them in the towns, they were ALL wrestling fans already. So they weren’t just trying to get on tv, they were trying to fuck the wrestlers. Heck, back in the 80s, security had to make sure the Rock n Roll Express didn’t get sexually assaulted on their way to the ring.
I like how Page came out on Dynamite randomly to set up the Punk feud. Poor guy is aimless and the world title has lost so much value.
He looked like a dead man walking.
Mox was the best aew champ so far
@@Dbanks700 Nah I say Jericho but Mox is definitely the second
@@joeyskywalker1322 Jericho made the title an joke and a pure gimmick with the la champion crap and how he fake lost the title when he first won it that right there killed it
@@joeyskywalker1322 Eh...Jericho just felt like an established transitional champ. Yes he was a known name, but I never felt like he could've or should've been holding onto the belt other than to help draw attention to the company at the time.
Amazing booking there doing another "Texas Death Match" not even 3 months after one just happened...
With no build up to the match or any reason to have one but aew fans says this is great story telling 😂 what a joke
@@Dbanks700 Hello fellow bot.
I ABSOLUTELY love it when Cornette takes a MASSIVE left turn while giving a plug for a sponsor.. It’s HILARIOUS every time and poor Brian has to try and save the sponsorship lol.. THIS is one of the MANY reasons y’all are the BEST at keeping all of us Cult of
Cornette members entertained! 💯
Every time Jim describes a train wreck like this, all I can think of is all the legends AEW has on payroll and wonder why Tony doesn't tap into their decades of wrestling knowledge and psychology. What a waste.
Getting paid enough to be silent
How do you not have Arn Anderson,Billy Gunn,Jerry Lynn and Dustin Rhodes putting your matches together as agents. Jim Ross as your Talent Relations guy,Jake & Tully teaching your Heels how to be Heels,could’ve hired Bischoff to format and produce his television. Cornette to book the matches that Arn and the agents put together. Its honestly sad how RIGHT AEW could’ve been because Khan could afford to do ALL that. Smh
Because Tony just wants to collect them all, he doesn’t want to listen to them because he has his own ideas.
He tried Jim told him no and he had to sign an NDA Jim was willing until he heard who Tony wanted as wrestlers everybody you ve never heard of and the super smash bros the balding bucks twinkle toes
@@prestonpfeiffer Exactly it's pathetic with all these Legends not utilizing their knowledge. I hope the executives remove All elite wreck
I didn’t waste my time watching this match. It’s seems like Hangman can’t get away from this deathmatch gimmick. I don’t understand how they are failing to push their champion
Because he should've never been?
@@royalty843 they missed their opportunity two years ago when they made him an alcoholic who was upset with his friends
@@starshipfame1 But the whole point of that storyline was the Young Bucks & Omega being strictly against drinking in real life, with the Young Bucks fanatically against alcohol consumption due to religious beliefs, & it was a way to show "Hangman = failure, because alcohol = evil". That's why it never truly got resolved, Hangman just started chillin with the Dark Order & got his "confidence" back.
@@CM-jc7gk it’s dumb tbh. It took a lot of steam off of Hangman. It took years for Adam be considered legit (I didn’t start taking his character serious until the Cody era of Bullet Club). Now he’s a sad drunk cowboy? He didn’t need that gimmick, especially when AEW was still shuffling around and building main eventers.
Their issue is that they didn’t build him enough before making him Champion. He took a hiatus, came back, won a ladder match the night he returned, and got a title shot against Omega right away. As others have said, they had momentum going early on and let it go. So he really went into his title reign cold.
Adam Cole was so much better in NXT in his first year compared to his 7 months in AEW
I never thought I would see the day that I begged for HHH’s return in any capacity.
Hes not there to work hes there to hang out with his buddies finger bang and balding bucks so hes gonna be booked in slapstick matches and hes gonna love it
Truth!
It is sad to see. He had the hottest debut in aew, better than danielson arriving 2 minutes later ....but he certainly took a tumble downhill after the first match.
TK has too many project boys...he needs to pick his top guys and build them strong and consistently.
Yep BUT hhh was about wrestling aew is a circus gymnastic show. The middle aged bloke who's part of group band who make noise and fans sing about Judas says sports entertainers nah just low level entertainers. Wooooo aew
15:15 was hilarious jim coming right back saying "you know the methods of personal training is just so much more advanced than 2000s years ago" 🤣
Brian audibly spiraling through a Corney ad read is always gold🤣
"I've had better nose bleeds while I was fuckin'!" God that was funny!
I spent Easter Sunday thanking God for Adam and Adam giving Jim something to talk about extensively.
The "sit down in a chair and punch the opponent" spot is the stupidest, most indie garbage spot in wrestling. I can't stand when they do that moronic nonsense.
That thumbnail is amazing
I'm a Catholic & I'm not offended by the barbed wire crown I'm more offended by Tony Khans Acid Trip booking.
That nose bleed line killed me 😅
I don't know what Tony Kahn's problem is. Coffin matches, tornado tag no DQ matches, table matches. Last man standing matches ...
Can this guy ever book a simple 1 on 1 win by pinfall or submission in the ring match?
Why does every match have to be a stipulation? All he is doing is desensitizing fans to these types of matches which lessens the impact these matches have on the fans had he just booked these matches every once in a while. It is like how the Attitude era changed the steel chair usage in Wrestling. Before the attitude era. A chair gets used and that ended a match. After the attitude era ... get hit with a chair 20 times and win the match anyway.
*In a lot of ways the attitude era ruined wrestling. I remember WCW taking a lot of heat because people found it laughable Ric Flair was winning matches because Sensational Sheri and Miss Elizabeth would pass him one of their shoes to use as a weapon while the ref wasn't looking and he would knock his opponent our with the shoe while over on the other channel the Rock was hitting Mankind over the head with a chair 7 times while Mankind was cuffed to the ringpost.
True. The Attitude Era desensitized fans first. Even after it ended, Vince continued doing so for 20 years, with all the immense gimmick matches, most of which got their own PPV every year, these days. Now, Tony is just pissing on the grave.
Yup. And ANOTHER god damn ladder match next week.
@@ryanx7359 and a Philly Street Fight on the same episode as the ladder match
He does it here and there. Page vs Daneilson, Omega vs Danielson, Mox vs Danielson etc
@@Nestle245 Note the common element in all of those...
I still remember when Shawn Michaels teamed up with God Himself against Vince & Shane.
And Vince WON 🤣🤣
@@Jerome-Boateng God defeating Vince and Durag Vince are the greatest gimmicks ever.
Two things: RIP Adam Cole.
Also I fully believe that AEW exists to give single men 18-30 a chance to feel what the ECW heyday was like since they missed it. The problem there is that this ain’t it. Not even close.
Because this is AEW not ECW
@@wake6937 right. It’s a terrible imitation.
@@MrCamp they literally have nothing in common Ecw is an Edgy alternative Aew is a pro wrestling alternative they literally have nothing in common they only did one flaming table spot but Ecw didn’t invent extreme
@@wake6937 stop it. Get help.
@@natebaxter9551 LMAOO who was even talking to you bud out my convo
We all know that Tony Kahn watched WCW, but I'm guessing since he let the crown of thorns spot happen, he didn't watch ECW. Because if he knew about the fallout from Raven's crucifixion of The Sandman, which also featured a crown of thorns made of barbed wire, he probably wouldn't have been okay with Cole and Page pulling that same kind of thing.
Hell, that's what caused Kurt Angle to not join ECW that same night!
First Nick Gage cutting up Jericho with a pizza cutter before a Dominos commercial, now this thing happens leading up to Easter Sunday!
The difference between Adam Page and Drew McIntyre is that McIntyre had a good, serious run with the championship tho
Drew also look like a world champion
well that and one guy is 6'5'' the other is 6'0''.
Maybe Brain was referring to Drews first run in WWE which was awful.
There’s a Texas death match or Philly street fight every week in AEW it feels. I like hardcore wrestling but it’s become a stunt fest. Can’t beat the visual of cracking someone over the head with a chair which can be done safely.
You read my mind. That's the one thing missing from wrestling today. Of course, we'll never see that again, at least on mainstream television.
I'm a Christian and hearing Mr. Cornette say "fixed his wagon" when talking about Jesus's crucifixion was the funniest thing I've heard all day.
Bro me too !! I was like brruuhhhh ... not offended at all.. def caught me by suprise
He's an atheist so, he does that all the time any chance he gets.
@@K-dawg26 I caught that he was.. though I may not agree on that point.. must admit the way he phrased that took me out lol
'I've had better nose bleeds while I was fucking' 😆 love this man's commentary. Jim does some of the best roasting!
3:10 I have never heard the story of the Passion of Jesus referred to as the Romans fixing his wagon, but I couldn't stop laughing
They hotshot booked a live Rampage with a main title gimmick match as their main event in hopes of bumping up the ratings because Rampage is completely on the mud, but they didn't even manage to pull in 500k viewers.
Yep, promoted BCC vs the Gun Club and this title match and lost over 100,000 viewers from the previous week.
Big ups for the Was Not Was song Walk The Dinosaur reference again lol.. 👍🏻👍🏻
Lol, I've been waiting for you guys to review this match.
The normal rules of a Texas deathmatch are pinfall or submission followed by a ten count and if you pin your opponent or make your opponent submit and they can't answer the count you win.
It just wasn’t necessary. It shows me that AEW is not looking to expand its audience past the hardcores.
So they ripped off the time Raven crucified Sandman?
Raven & Sandman did it 10x better
And then Raven (who is jewish) apologized to the audience.
@@johansvanborg5870 apparently by Paulie who is also Jewish, but Tony Kahn is Muslim who probably really doesn’t care one way or another…he can’t mock Muhammad because he knows what would happen. I don’t know why people got their panties in a bunch it’s got people talking and discussing Jesus
@@travismiller4320 Was in bad taste bud. Real bad.
@@travismiller4320 Jesus is an important figure in Islam, he's the prophet before Muhammad.
AEW, between all the over booking, the over use of false finishes, the hugely inflated roster, the over use of turning the lights out and the over use of the whole "special anouncement" crap is becoming a WCW 2.0 very fast.
Jim doesn't do ad reads he does ad roasts and he is the ad roast king.
Jim Cornette is one of the best managers of all time I remember laughing at him all the time being scared to be beat up in the wwf 😅
Mick foley used to do the same, wrapping barbwire around his arm.
Even for a non-religious person i think anyone would see the “crown of barbed wire” bit was extremely distasteful and just stupid
Agreed. I’m not religious, but I was watching it and thinking, ‘Are they really doing this? Why?’ That May explain why the ratings went down on Dynamite Wednesday. There were some people legitimately pissed about that and I don’t blame them.
Adam Page just doesn't have "IT" to be a true Pro Wrestling Champion. I'm not sure exactly why either...but as soon as he comes out of the curtain, all I see is mid card level talent and his persona is as flat as a sheet of paper. And he punches like a sissy
That OLD FMW/IWA dude in the white shirt used to wrap the barbwire for a clothesline, guess Tony saw that tape too hahaha
Adam Page turning his back to the hard cam was such a perfect example of what kinda World Champion he’s been: Confused,Embarrassing and Amateur. Roman Reigns WOULD NEVER.
Jim is describing a 4.5 star match btw
- Dave Meltzer
Love the ringing endorsement for Beam lmao. Jim really knows how to sell something 😆
Im not religious but definitely understand the outrage for the crown of thorns deal they did
It was stupid to be upset
It wasn't intentional
I am, sort of, and I wasn't the least bit offended
@@madddoggnogood1491 Just because it's not important to you doesn't mean ppl don't have right to be upset when it's important to them. It is important to me, i find it incredibly distasteful, and i'm not going to apologize for it.
Crucifixion was the Roman method of execution. The crown of thorns was additional torture. The Romans executed hundreds of thousands, if not millions by crucifixion.
that big bump at the end of the match would have been so much more if it were the only big bump like that on the show
I had to go back and see what the hub bub was about because when they pulled a chair out with barbed wire hot glued to it I just turn the shit off... it sucked the crown of thorns didn't bother me but the hot glued barbed wire pissed me off... I was waiting for a bedazzled sledgehammer...
Goofs
Should probably start putting " " around Texas Death Match in the titles of these videos doubt we are ever gonna get a real Texas Death Match.
When do you get your opinion on Butcher vs Wardlow.
"They're up in the stands...and they do what you can do up there which is nothing." LOL
9:37
🤣🤣 please go here for a random drop
Should have called the match Good Friday Execution that has a good ring to it.
Jesus was given a crown of thorns to wear right before they fixed his wagon
They used the belt wrong for the tied to the rope spot... have you ever put a belt around your girl's neck as a leash? Its like that: you take a leather punch and put evenly spaced holes in the belt down to about 3inches from the buckle (because different sized necks, maybe you want to wrap it around the wrist or ankle idk) it works well for what they were going for
brian knocked it out the park with he page and drew connection
Did I just hear that!!Right on.
At 9:36.
Brian & Corny The match wasn't live, Rampage/Battle of the Belts were all taped after Dynamite in Garland, Texas
It was live. Battle of the belts was taped after rampage
Weird timing then
‘I’ve had better nose bleeds when I was fucking!’ 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 spat my drink out!
Easter death match 😂😂😂
Passion of the Cole
Easter Bunny as the Referee 😂
@@kingslayer2999 damn, PJ Black is all elite?
9:33 LMAOOOO I am in f*ckin tearssss. 🤣🤣🤣
Cole is done aftyer this as far as im concerned.... first he loses to a hug from the pocket man, and now hes stuck to the ropes with a belt???? He has looked like a damn fool in AEW
Forgot this match happened. I didn’t see social media buzz about this match even if there was. Please take the title off page he’s not bad he’s just not that guy or near that guy maybe in the future he will be. Even omega who I don’t like he created some buzz as champ
Omega is the fuxking man! Can’t wait for his return.
Hangman Page is AEWs Drew McIntyre... 2011 Drew McIntyre
Ik Jim was gonna trash this match lol
I was waiting on it. I’m glad he did.
I had to explain to a friend how this wasn't a Texas Death Match... he then said how he wondered if everyone was gonna be offended for the crown of thorns on Good Friday. We both laughed at all of this and now here we are.
There are people that didn’t like Cole vs Hangman 2? I thought the match was great. Lots of good spots. The outcome doesn’t make the entire match and I don’t recall Cole getting the hell beat out of him. Back and forth - both matches.
"Lots of good spots".
This is one of the reasons a lot of people don't care for AEW matches. That's what most of their matches are on any given night. A bunch of good spots after good spots.
14:54 - annnnd we're out!
The only bad thing about the Beam ad is that shit is $140 for a one month supply
AEW messed up the rules of a Texas deathmatch.
Seinfeld went to a confessional, not a rabbi. I remember the priest saying something like "You know you're supposed to kneel, right?" when Jerry is trying to sit on that thing you kneel on.
Yeah Jerry never went to see a rabbi. That was Elaine in a different episode.
Someone is going to die on national television.
Drew is much better than Adam Page, just saying.
This is pretty much killing AEW. Your main event when you're the B promotion has to be star studded and a draw. This is the drizzling beep.
Punk is going to need a 2 year reign to rehabilitate the title. How the hell have they managed to be worse than Kenny? Honest to God.
Drew is way way better than Page as a champ. He carried RAW as the champ for almost a year in the ThunderDome era. Not a single bad match.
Yes something bad is going to happen on live TV
How this Brian guy had the audacity to compare Adam Page to Drew is a joke.
@@aaryanairy756 not a single good promo either though...
@@spence082 drew doesn't have the it factor is the reason. It may not be as extreme, but Drew has no charisma to the point he needs a sword to carry him after his lack luster reign.
I’m all for wrestlers of all sizes being able to compete if they have the talent, but Adam Cole needs to get on a weight program. Even compared to Page (who’s not a huge guy) he looks small and it’s really a stretch for me to buy into the possibility of him winning a match against a bigger opponent.
This is the shit Cole left WWE for good god
I laugh everytime a Toni Kahn's face now. XD
Does anyone remember when the bullet club had a pay per view with an anti gun theme? Kenny Omega had to change his catch phrase from bang to boing. That's when I knew this whole deal was garbage
Ah yes, the barbwire chair under the ring
Adam Cole spends all his free time playing video games on Twitch. He doesn't have time to work out.
The eyes 🤣
Why can't they just learn how to throw a punch?
Blame Kevin Nash for this because he started the whole throwing elbows instead of punches. Go look at WrestleMania 11 when he only threw elbows at Michaels the whole damn match. No wonder the crowd booed him and cheered HBK forcing Vince to turn him face the very next night on Raw
@@wesleymorris2699 yet his buddy Hall threw some of the best punches in wrestling
@@wesleymorris2699 really? I've seen Nash throw good punches too. I don't think the forearms started with nash
I'm a Christian and I heard they did a "crown of thorns" spot before I watched the match and I was ready for it to be way worse than it was. I thought they were gonna do some sort of Christ imagery but I just saw it as a guy getting barbed wire put on his head before getting dropped on his head to add to the pain. I'm not into death matches so I thought it was a dumb and risky spot, but it didn't offend me. I wouldn't have thought it was a crown of thorns reference had I not heard that beforehand
He must have not been paying any attention when CM Punk did his blade job because that was the most obvious, blatant blade job I've ever seen done in wrestling. He was literally in the middle of the ring alone facing the camera and you could clearly see him lift his arm up and slide his hand across his forehead which was completely clean beforehand. Then as soon as his hand left his forehead, blood magically appeared. He didn't try to hide it at all. Not to mention, before he cut himself, you could clearly see him holding the blade in between his fingers multiple times before he did it. I like CM Punk but that was a complete shit blade job as far as trying to hide it goes.
I hated this match in every way possible!
Next Adam Page match, someone needs to make a sign that says Hard Cam Thataway!
Atom Smol and Hug-It-Out Page in just another embarrassing "Death-match" that had no death and just your usually AEW gimmick spotfest. Nothing special happened in this match, just the same thing that happens in every Page match. He bleeds, he sells everything, and he gets carried by someone else. This match only continued to cement how bad of a champion Page really is and how much Cole has fallen. The "Biggest Match" in Rampage History and it didn't even draw 500k viewers. Also, the whole barbered wire crown on Cole's head was really bad taste and bad timing by the "Booker of the Year." Of course, Uncle Dave gave his star rating for it, and blew his load all over like always, giving it 4.5 stars. I guess Page is his new Omega, till Harpo returns.
Would’ve been 6 stars if Omega was involved. 8.5 in the Tokyo Dome
Overall the match was better than I thought it would be, but I still wasn't feeling it. I'm sure a lot of the fans felt the same way.
Corny's reviews are much more entertaining than the actual matches.
Jim loves using "iron lung" every once in a while.
Adam Cole should dissappear for a year and come back just jacked. Then, and only then, can he overcome the booking he had succumbed to since arriving.
I don’t get drew McIntyre comparison?
I will say that the folks down at the Crystal Methodist church love this shit 😂
‘I’ve had better nosebleeds whilst I was fucking’ -Jim Cornette on Adam Coles shitty juice
Nah Jim, don’t lump New Japan’s texas deathmatch (that they’ve done 1 time) with AEW’s just because these guys wrestled and copy everything from there
