Well I see Max didn't learn anything from his time in AEW. How long until he gets fired from TNA for one of his raps? He doesn't have his boy Anthony Bowens around to help get him out of trouble anymore.

Imagine if the same old, mediocre wrestler won the Money in the Bank match three years in a row. Well that's what TNA has done with their equivalent of the Call Your Shot gauntlet match as Frankie Kazarian just won it again.

Amazing Red won the X Division title so that's pretty neat. Not like a sarcastic neat, like legitimately neat.

I don't recall you this angry over the Borden spot lol.

But yeah, I'm not a fan of a bunch of ladders in and around the ring with several doing spots on or around them. Stratton already went viral for hitting her head during a practice run and now this. If you can't hit it, don't try it. Plus the 'crowd of wrestlers standing and waiting in a group' thing is so fake looking. Can't wait for Cornette to be like, "three minutes into the match and Tiffy nearly spilled her fking brain on the outside."

I liked the Evans spot though, as stupid as the long setup was. Gotta be careful around those wooden, Amish ambulances.

I like the fact that his raps are unhinged. I’ve never taken him as someone who is expressing any kind of authentic view in them. He just flirts with the line and gives it to both sides unabashedly of whatever topic he’s discussing. I think those raps had a lot to do with why the Acclaimed got over in the first place and neutering the raps made them progressively less enjoyable over time. It’s kind of like stand up comics who offend everyone —-that is the point. Or GTA — it offends everyone, that is the purpose. I wish Caster the best. His in ring work isn’t for me but I think his gimmick and presentation are interesting and he brings an organic edginess to wrestling, more power to him. Not upholding any kind of locker room stuff or anything like that (don’t know of any) but just saying TK probably should have just let the young man do his thing. Theres plenty offensive about AEW and that’s what some of us like, even when it offends me.

I very much called out the Borden spot. You just have selective memory. But also, as you stated in your own post, she has a history of botching diving moves. Borden doesn't have the televised history of botching dives, plus we don't know what he's done in training. Thankfully he isn't stupid enough to post his training botches.

With Tiffy's lowlight reels of botches, at this point it's malpractice allowing her to do this stuff.

The setup for the Evans spot was illogical though the spot looked decent.

I do think Breaker should have been more forceful pushing the ladder and/or followed through on pushing it more so as to make it look less blatantly obvious that Evans was just jumping off the ladder as opposed to falling off it. It doesn't change the end result but would have made it look better,

WBD was the one that neutered Max if I remember correctly.

She has a valid point

Leon Slater the new TNA champion, youngest TNA champion in history. Good to see they got the obvious right. I suspect it will be a short reign though unless he decides to forgo WWE/AEW money and re-sign with TNA since his contract ends this year.
