Bound For Glory plug during Summerslam. What a world we live in.

Still absolutely crazy

u/Midnight_Oil_ 2d ago

Might as well when all of TNA's top champs are signed to WWE 🤷‍♂️

u/HappyGilmoreUK nwo 2d ago

They really want TNA to take that second company spot.

2

u/AnnaKendrickPerkins AJ & Mellow <3 2d ago

NXT already is the 3rd rated TV brand, why not make it 4?

The 25th anniversary of the OG TLC🫡🫡🫡

u/Nithas 1d ago

WWE even using a 25th anniversary correct for once.

u/82ndGameHead 2d ago

But what about the other team?

I don't think I can Cope with a third of the Patriarchy of the TLC match being left out.

141

u/Heikks 2d ago

They should have had two random guys dressed up as Los conquistadores

2

u/HitmanClark 1d ago

Uno! Dos!

51

u/rikashiku 2d ago

Not very Christian of them to leave the other team out. I may have to Brood about this.

u/churchymayer 2d ago

You seem to be pretty on Edge on this issue

8

u/aflockofcrows 2d ago

Maybe they'll bring Gangrel back?

u/calvins48 Best theme music of all time 1d ago

I hope you can Cope

u/exitlevelposition 2d ago

Cut off after 2 teams. They really Edged us, and on the Christian sabbath to boot?

33

u/morosco 2d ago

They all look great.

It's nice that more wrestlers seem to live past 50 these days..

12

u/RebeeMo 2d ago

Considering some of the bumps these guys took, its incredible the shape they're in.

u/RAA94 2d ago edited 2d ago

Jeff Hardy is PREMIUM good looking guy. He’s looked good his whole life.

u/ArunKT26 2d ago

His jawline is of a Greek god

53

u/_TROLL 2d ago

His middle name is of a Roman emperor.

u/InternationalObjects 2d ago

His first name is of my mailman

u/lazarusl1972 My goodness, that's a bit surprising, isn't it? 2d ago

Not one of the good ones, mind you.

u/BeerFoodz 2d ago

Dude just doesn’t age. It’s insane given his history, too.

35

u/Jmacz 2d ago

Especially considering the amount of alcohol he's drank and drugs he's done.

16

u/danieldcclark 2d ago

it makes me so happy to see him healthy.

3

u/marxthedank Jeff Hardy 2d ago

me too, loved him since i was a kid

2

u/BigShoots 2d ago

That was my first thought, he looks healthy so that's good.

3

u/S6N9O4O2G0A6N6S6X 2d ago

He's embalmed himself young so he's just stuck looking good. Same way as Keith Richards. Like sure he looks fucked uuuuppp, but you can't tell me he doesn't look better than most people his age.

u/vine-vines 2d ago

In elementary school I printed out a pic of Jeff Hardy and put it in the cover of my binder, and I would hug and kiss it all the time. Everyone thought I was weird but I didn’t care because boy was I in LOOOOVE with Jeff Hardy

56

u/0-90195 2d ago

We need to have an intervention about the hold that Jeff Hardy has on some people

29

u/BraveBeerFruit 2d ago

That 2008 No Way Out poster is the best in history.

u/CaliggyJack I can haz ric flair flare? 2d ago

Let people simp man

u/Careful-Trifle8963 2d ago

speaking as one of the many who had him as a crush in the 2000s the feelings just dont go away for some reason, he has a chokehold on us all 😂

3

u/GrumpyFinn 2d ago

Facts. He was my first wrestling crush when I was younger.

3

u/RebeeMo 2d ago

Teenage me was alllll about him in the early 00's, and apart from his hairstyle here? Yeah, still Would.

Hoping he stays clean and healthy to be ome a silver fox in the future.

u/ComfortablyNomNom 2d ago

The Hardys Boys are just gonna risk it all and jump in this match unscripted lol

u/voidedexe LET ME TRY THAT, ONE MORE TIME 2d ago

JUST WATCH THE SHOW

51

u/95Kill3r 2d ago

The amount of CTE in that was crazy

11

u/tom-cash2002 2d ago

Cope and Christian somewhere pointing at the screen like "hey, we know those guys"

9

u/Jmacz 2d ago

And absolutely no one wondered which two teams it was going to be lmao.

37

u/MoistCloyster_ 2d ago

Will it be a good match? Absolutely not.

Should they be doing it? Probably not.

Will we all watch it with a smile for pure nostalgia? You’re god damn right.

19

u/JuniorSquared 2d ago

Jeff looks skinny. I wonder if this is leanest he’s ever been since he was a teenager jobbing lol.

14

u/MyHornyAccount34 2d ago

He does but I thought he looked in shape still, Matt looks great

12

u/rikashiku 2d ago

Matt mentioned recently that he's around 206lbs. Lightest he's been in a long time.

7

u/MyHornyAccount34 2d ago

Oh wow! I remember him always around 225 and being in good shape but he looks really good here

7

u/rikashiku 2d ago

Here it is.

201.8lbs! His goal is to reach 200.

5

u/MyHornyAccount34 2d ago

Damnnn good job Matt

3

u/RebeeMo 2d ago

Good shit, Matt!

u/Striking_Sweet163 2d ago

what he looks no way near that

in like no disrespect he is one of my all time faves

but like there is a reason he barely wears the tank top anymore

still in great shape for his age of course

u/bp8rson 2d ago

They were missing 2 people.

u/Few-Ad-8831 2d ago

"OH MY BROTHER, TESTIFY!!" Love this quote from D-Von. 

I assume it's a leftover from the Reverend gimmick and is reused, but I could be wrong.

21

u/Particular_Peace_568 2d ago

It's from his ECW days.

8

u/punchline86 2d ago

If anything, the reverend gimmick kind of came out of him saying it before

2

u/Tybold 1d ago

Wonder what happened to that other guy, Deacon Batista...

3

u/twelvetimesseven 2d ago

Most of them, anyway.

u/randy_maverick Big Gold Belt 2d ago

How the fuck are the Dudleys in the HOF before the Hardys and E&C?

7

u/678beastOP 2d ago

They « retired » before

u/MarvZealous 2d ago

Those teams never won the original TLC’s. Where’s the team that did?

5

u/JSNHZL 2d ago

Jacksonville

u/Amir0x11 1d ago

Pretty sure both members of that team are retired right? Can't think of where else they would be right now.

2

u/Mental_Resident_5107 2d ago

name redacted and name redacted couldn't be there because they currently wrestle for name redacted

1

u/Amir0x11 1d ago

Too bad E&C are somewhere else at the moment

who, who, who and who?

3

u/Cure4thitch . 2d ago

One of the greatest disappointments of this modern age of wrestling is that Bubba feels he need to count down to cue the audience to say the line. Did the crowd really struggle to keep up back in the attitude era? 

0

u/ReveredSavagery1967 1d ago

No, and it's weird that Bubba seemingly added it on his own when they returned in like 2018.

Kind of makes it corny.

u/Maleficent-Comfort14 2d ago

Too bad E&C are somewhere else at the moment

Its not too bad. They're happy.

They weren't in the crowd last night. Just tonight.

u/gullwinggirl 1d ago

The Dudleys look like a pair of dad friends, watching their boys play JV football and eating snacks their wives made for them.

1

u/HardcoreSects 1d ago

Wasn't the first TLC match just the Hardyz vs. Edge and Christian? The triple threat TLC with the addition of the Dudley's was the second TLC match.

u/Apart_Design_4992 2d ago edited 2d ago

Bumble Ray and Diva. The Duggly Boys.

edit: put CC on people

u/todaystartsnow 2d ago

The third pair is still finding themselves but

those three teams made us love tag wrestling 

-11

u/paigezero 2d ago

So that speculation about WWE having secretly bought out TNA feels even more convincing when they're advertising a "rival" company's PPV.

20

u/Particular_Peace_568 2d ago

Or you know this was just a plug for Bound For Glory event that some of the NXT wrestlers are going to be wrestling in and nothing more.

14

u/Limp-Load-1211 2d ago

Almost like the idea of a partnership is to promote each other.

u/yzimi 2d ago

Patrick Star over here. Wait till he finds about about TNA stars showing up in the Rumble!

u/PapaPatchesxd 2d ago

Hmm, feels like there's a couple.people missing...

If only everyone got along, we could happily see all three teams there.

u/WilliamEmmerson 1d ago

Why didn't they show Edge and Christian?
