I love how you can always tell when Cage is about to be knocked out of an elimination match because he goes into to hyperdrive getting his poo poo in.

And I'm not being sarcastic. I really enjoy that steroid man doing all of his moves as fast as possible.

That finish is kinda funny in hindsight given that Sexy has since unmasked and we know what she looks like. Still, good heel cheating.

Based on the stinger, I'm guessing that Drago's split with the serpent tribe was because he didn't want to keep eating people.

Was it on purpose that they made Kobra Moon look like she still absolutely sucks as a fighter? I mean, Aerostar had already gotten the poo poo kicked out of him by 2 guys and when Kobra Moon tried to choke him out, he disposed off of her just like that.

That part of the roof is probably just conveniently located under a walkway rather than the open area where wrestlers fall through.

You know, with dragons and ghost witches and whatnot running around, I would not be surprised to find out at some point that scepter is magic.

Yeah, she's good at that and her matches are usually laid out/edited in a way that maximizes the effect.

"Aerostar, our buddy Drago got kidnapped by the Reptilian Illuminati last week, what do we do!?"
"Well, have we searched the toilets yet?"
"Of course!"

Mack and Sexy BFFs is still one of the best things this season.

I uh, i did not expect the hot dog-skin man to be whatever the gently caress he is. :stare:

I love Sexy Star's Galacta outfit. And yay, the SlamTown theme! Also I guess i saw Jenkem's hand. Daaamn Sexy's got guns. These two wrestle well together, i'm not too into Sexy Star, but this fight's got all the right ingredients to be fun.

I love Spider-man too, but come on, Stryker. I know for a fact that the second the Spider Tribe steps into the ring, Matt will shatter my love for the character with a rampage of references.

Ehhh, kinda lame ending. Extra hilarious how much mask talk there is when she unmasked last summer.

God i love the snake tribe plot.

In terms of what that means for viewers, gonna be a 6 month-ish gap at least between season 3 and 4. For what it's worth, a friend of mine who talked to Jeff Cobb at an event last week heard the same thing directly from him.

On one hand that sucks, otoh i'll probably be able to attend tapings by then. Would be really sick to see the season premiere's matches that way.

Glad I got an arm on TV. Also, I was right behind Kobra Moon on that initial Drago promo she cut on top of Dario's office a few weeks ago, it was filmed out of order.

The musical guest, Metalachi was really good. They do a mariachi version of Raining Blood.

In the taping the Sexy Star-Mundo cage match was before the Battle of the Bulls Final, so the crowd was loving PISSED at Johnny retaining (it start the taping off). They were hot as gently caress to see the Mack go over PJ Black just a couple matches later. They thought Mack was just beating Mundo up they didn't realize he was also going after the belt.

How long do they have the bands out on stage? Is it just to do the episode's opening song, or do they get to do a mini-concert in between tapings?

They play 2-3 songs between tapings and during long breaks in the taping (usually to prep for elaborate spots).

Also I had been very skeptical of Sexy Star going into this taping. This cage match turned me into a Sexy Star mark. She came out and the crowd was hot as gently caress for her getting her title rematch. I think she had only lost it the taping before so they were bitter as gently caress. Someone in line had filled me in on the storyline but I didn't realize she had such a short reign as champion. It felt like she could win the entire match and took some nasty bumps with the head ramming into the cage. I was rooting hard for Sexy. Huge credit to Mundo; he carried the match and made her look great (Justin complements him after he raises his arm)

Yeah, she's very charismatic and good at using that to cover her ring shortcomings (though obviously having a good opponent is very important.)

I'm not sure, it doesn't seem to be on either of their CDs. May be something they came up with just to play on the show. A lot of the more fun stuff they play never makes it on air to LU since they do a lot of covers/remakes. I bought one of their shirts (which is pretty dope on its own) since they are so cool live. They really like to wade into the crowd, too.
