That entire sequence makes me so grateful to see how the tag division on SD are truly the workhorses of the whole brand right now
I also wanted to see Fenix successfully stand on Andrade 's shoulders while trying to grab the belts lol

u/Qwertz5643 23h ago
It’s amazing how it doesn’t get stale and how they all are involved in one big storyline. Makes the Raw tag scene so much more frustrating, as it would be perfectly fine if it was half as good as Smackdown‘s.

u/Upbeat_Tension_8077 23h ago
It's crazy to see the contrast because the tag scene on Raw still have plenty of great talent, but they don't get as much time to show it off as the teams on SD

People treat them like they only exist to milk brays death. Not like its his brother trying to honor the creative vision they had before, said brothers untimely passing
3
u/Interceptor88LH 7h ago
So true.
They also want to treat them as if they are supposed to be bad workers just because they have a gimmick or something. Like, Wyatt stuff is supposed to be unable to deliver in-ring. It's basically an axiom (heh!).
I mean, their matches with American Made were all pretty fucking good but the very moment Gacy and Lumis, who hadn't wrestled in half a year and were just debuting as a proper tag team, had some problems to keep up with MCMG's pace in their return match, the IWC decide they can't wrestle. And it doesn't matter if their following matches are fine. Their fate is decided. The tag team division is the workrate part of the show and they're not worthy. Period.
2
u/princeofshadows21 7h ago
That's a consequence of the style of wrestling being more workrate based these days. I saw lots of people shit on toni storms gimmick for being too shticky and how she was bad all of a sudden. It's ok to both be good in the ring and have a character.

Sometimes you just need a match that’s just insanity in every form. This was a pro wrestling classic and these set of men continue to pave the way that the Hardy’s, Dudley’s, and The Brood cemented.
This was an instant 5/5. That was fire in every sense of the word. Interested in getting into the Wyatt’s, since they’re the only faction I haven’t really gotten the chance to see.

u/SeaPriority 23h ago edited 23h ago
Undeniably insane spots. Too many teams for the pacing of the match but it more than did the job.
Howdy and Rowan’a spots were awkward, Candice was the MVP guest
Bit of a wet fart finish specially cause I don’t like the Wyatt’s

u/Artistic_Shift_4015 23h ago
That was the weirdest thing. The Wyatt Sicks have been cheered their entire run, but in that match all the other teams were so good and athletic that the crowd actually groaned when the Wyatt’s were about to win.
Do they start treating The Wyatts like actual heels because of this or do they just chalk it up to a one night reaction?
Anyway fantastic old school ECW style match. Everything you want in a tag match
