I don’t know how long the reign will last, but seeing Jurassic Express with the tag belts make me happy. They’ve been consistently super over since the very beginning, so them being champs feel so right.

I can’t see them holding the belts long, but totally the right call to give them a run

Still own my copy of 2 for the GameCube. Legit one of my favourite games ever.

I have an unpopular opinion: I think Link sucks in Soulcalibur II. He didn't feel fun to play for me. 

IIRC, Link was pretty low-tier in the GCN version of SC2. And then there was the PS2 where Heihachi had his bullshit Tekken juggle combos lmao.

I think because he came with his gear. Bombs, Arrows and his boomerang. A lot of options compared to other characters.

Yeah, I started with him but switched to Kilik early so I could really learn the ropes of the game. Goddamn, now I wanna play SCII.

AEW, if it ever does another fighting game tournament collaboration, need to get the Soul Calibur announcer/narrator to do hype packages and calling matches.

Guarantee you Kenny has at least brought it up at some point. Cody would likely be on board

Trent Beretta vs Adam Cole
This was indy garbage. Trent took a couple of bad looking bumps, though he hit some nice forearms. Cole took a very tough looking super brainbuster, then basically no sold a snap dragon suplex and an apron piledriver. He then came back with a canadian destroyer later on which was naturally only worth a 2 count, then he took a hard lariat, back suplex and a samurai driver and won soon after.

Shawn Spears vs Andrew Everett

What in the hell was Everett wearing? Not that it mattered since he destroyed in seconds. Shawn Spears tried to cut a heel promo on Punk after but looked and acted so goofy during it.

I didn't see the trios match.

Jurassic Express vs Dark Order
The big promo leading up to this involved kazoos.

This wasn't any good. We had the customary Rampage Main Event commercial that always goes too long during the middle of this. Both teams tried a tower of doom spot but they couldn't get it right on the first try and had to re-do it the second time. Alex Reynolds kicked out of a canadian destroyer and Jurassic Express hit a super sloppy double team to win it.

Overall thoughts: Really bad episode of Rampage here. Both guys took some bad looking bumps in the opener and didn't bother selling and the main was a joke before it even got started. And then there was Shawn Spears...

Listen, I would've had Kairi Sane come out to Cervantes' Sould Blade theme if I was in charge.

[The Ichi]

I literally only bought SCII for Link and I'm guessing so did a lot of people.

As I said in the Dynamite thread, this guy isn’t worth responding too.

So happy to see Kris Statlander in multiples segments this week! It makes up for no MJF
