✌️ Okey dokey, I didn't even know he had passengers. I thought out was only him, but damn imagine if that never happened.

Zack Sabre Jr. has a rough ride to the finals.

 

[BewareTheBatsie]

Becky and Charllote's flags arw almost as awful as they are.

Just when I think we're on good terms, you just turn on me and-

Spoiler

I just played myself by comparing me to Roman.

 

[Hycran]

I am watching Canada Smackdown right now and will spoil Brock's opponent for you as soon as it is announced.

[Spirit of Jazz]

Zack Sabre Jr. has a rough ride to the finals.

The dream of a Sabre vs Ibushi final is still alive.

 

[Data West]

Damn these are dope

 

[Bluekaveli]

First PPV of The Russo Era was predictably messy. Have some dueling spear gifs courtesy of our good friends at legitshook.com:

Sting's spear looks like that pull back shit from SD1, 2 & jbi good god.

sexy

 

[slightconfuse]

Final four looks like

Tozawa
sabre
Ibushi
Gargano

 

[serenewarfare]

Also that Gargano vs. Ciampa match is top shelf shit. It's really great and tells a great story. Be sure to catch that one. It was the main event of the first taping.

 

[Zach]

Oh my gah, tomorrow is the 20 year anniversary of the greatest heel turn of all time!

RBH better make a thread.

 

[Guzim]

The CWC bracketology special is great so far.

 

[Jimmy King]

This Bracketology special is the kind of shit I love on the Network

 

[Data West]

Glad Wagner is heel too. He's such a better heel than a face because he's basically Batista. And Havoc was the perfect person to debut him beating to establish the crowd booing him.

 

[giancarlo123x]

I'm glad someone else here caught the match of the year so far. They don't hold shit back during that match.

 

[Kaladin]

In the semi finals, I'm hoping for Tozawa vs Zack Sabre Jr. and Ibushi vs Gargano.

 

[Jimmy King]

Canyon Cemen? Is that a real name???

 

[Zach]

I look forward to checking out this bracketology special. I'm, like, three episodes behind on NXT, though. I should probably take a break from chrono-view.

 

[Bluekaveli]

Canyon Cemen? Is that a real name???

Can ya see men?

 

[Jimmy King]

You know this Jack Gallagher guy voted for the Brexit

 

[Guzim]

Jack Gallagher should join the Vaudevillains.

 

[dream]

You guys don't understand how good Jack Gallagher is. Yall just don't know.

 

[Guzim]

Any matches you recommend?

 

[avengers23]

My favorite

Doug Williams's Chaos Theory has been and will continue to be a cool move:

 

[serenewarfare]

Keep an eye on Jack Gallagher. He got so fucking over at the taping.

 

[Kaladin]

For the quarters, I see Gargano vs Swann, Kendrick vs Ibushi, Tozawa vs Tajiri and Dar vs ZSJR.

For semis, I'd have Gargano vs Ibushi and Tozawa vs Sabre

Leading of course to Ibushi vs Sabre.

Here's the thing though, they have Round 2, Quarter Finals, Semi Finals and Finals to go.

They have 3 taping dates left.

Do you pair the Quarters and Semis in August, or do you do like a King of The Ring PPV and have the semis and finals in one night.

 

[Guzim]

Are they actually using wrestlers' real heights during this special?

 

[avengers23]

Of course, if we're talking sweet duplexes, let's not forget Dalton Castle:

ROH has squandered this man.

But, as always, look to the joshi for what the next cool suplex will be:

 

[Jimmy King]

Lol they really keep putting over Bryan on this special too.

This post on Reddit is real cool, it's about Easter eggs in the Matt - Jeff match

When TNA started with the trailers for the Final Deletion, one of the clips appeared to show Jeff Hardy being pelted by fireworks. I'd made a joke at the time about how similar this was to Jeff's pyro accident on Smackdown eight years ago.

During Impact last night however, I've started to feel like this was much less of a coincidence. I think there were a lot of nods to the Hardys' past both in and outside of wrestling throughout last night's Final Deletion as well as its build-up segments; whether overt and obvious like the return of Willow or some that were decidedly more subtle. The first thing that caught my attention was Matt Hardy's drone; Vanguard One. V1. A direct nod to Matt's old Version One gimmick in WWE.

Now I'm sure I'm not the first person to notice that, but there was more than this tucked away as the segments went on. I may not be right with some of these as a few are a bit tenuous, but I could certainly see the Hardys hiding some callbacks within the Final Deletion and I wouldn't be surprised at all if I was right about these connections. The first I noticed in the match itself was the fireworks as I've explained before, but then the taser Senor Benjamin used on Jeff got me thinking harder. Could this be a reference to the video from a few years back of Jeff using a taser on Matt and Reby? It seems an odd thing to just throw in there otherwise.

And that symbol Jeff climbs at the end of the match, does the dirt around it not look a little like a pretty amateur dirt bike jump? I appreciate that this one might be me reaching a little bit, but I do think it's possible that the mound is a reference to Jeff's last major crash landing, appropriately located at the site of his latest.

Pretty cool when to it sit back and connect all of the pieces.

 

[Kaladin]

They have set these brackets up for some genuinely exciting wrasslin.

Don't fuck it up.

Thanks dream, I'll watch later.

 

[Zach]

Lol they really keep putting over Bryan on this special too.

Originally read this as Berlyn.

[Cagey]

He's actually doing his classic 'V1' hand gesture

V1 = Vanguard 1

#Layers

Ah. Neat. The attention to detail is great.

 

[Jimmy King]

The versus screens are dope. Make them the new standard.

 

[DMczaf]

The presentation for this show shits ALL over WWE

Triple H is killing it.

Damn at The Brian Kendrick.

Damn at The Brian Kendrick.

I want him to win now ;_;

 

[Jimmy King]

THE Brian Kendrick did a sliced bread #2 on our hearts with that segment.

 

[Rockandrollclown]

Bracketology special is doing a good job at making me care about people I am largely unfamiliar with. I miss these kind of interviews on the main roster.

 

[Bluekaveli]

Damn at The Brian Kendrick.

The former wwe champion The Brian Kendrick! The missed gem of that dark period.

 

[Kaladin]

London and Kendrick are legit one of the best tag teams in WWE history.

 

[sf2fanatic]

Nooooooooo!!! My DVR cut off the end of Final Deletion. I saw the pin. What happened after?

 

[Guzim]

London and Kendrick are legit one of the best tag teams in WWE history.

Their reign was awesome.
