Jesus Christ…

[Dub H]

Maybe we should look for some non-risk wrestling style for Sammy

[Facetious]

Sammy Guevara trying to destroy the Hardys has been AEW's longest running feud

Aminata getting a victory is awesome. I think AEW has a sleeper hit with her. The way she conducts herself and her back story makes her so easy to get behind.

And who the f*** put that 12 man together 😭😭 you know the DO is at its lowest when they're put with Lethal and friends

[Fade is a CodyCryBaby]

They didn’t stop the match? Didn’t Mox just rant about the concussion protocol recently? Woof. Also sammy: Woof.

This has got ot be their lowest point... even lower than when they were just sex perverts.

[Mozenrath]

I don't really know how much I want to blame Sammy for this. It looks like he's coming off of Jeff's knees and that is probably not exactly the easiest thing to predict, especially mid-Shooting Star. This really might come down to a "shit happens".

[El Cokehead del Knife Fight]

Sammy just kinda bounced off of Jeff's knees when he did the SSP, just extremely unfortunate that his body turned slightly so his knee landed on Jeff's head.

They went straight to the finish.

[Hypnosis]

Maybe Khan shouldn't book Guevara against the Hardys anymore. Just seems like bad luck every time.

I guess it's supposed to be a BTDO tie-in, since DO have been seeking advice from Jeff Jarrett, and the rest of his stable was seen talking to them in recent episodes.

[KME]

Not looking forward to seeing the "AEW not safe" wankers out in full force across the IWC, seen a couple of them already. Looks like a freak accident tbh, I think Sammy can take some frightening looking bumps more likely to hurt himself or others than many, but this doesn't look like one of those. I've seen him hit the shooting star perfectly lots of times, it just doesn't strike me as a move you should do on someone raising their knees, your body is much more likely to come down at an unnatural angle and risk something like that happening.

Does anyone know if it cut the match majorly short or were they in the home stretch anyway? Hopefully they had a chance to get some stuff in cos I can see ladders all over the place so it looks like it could/would have been a lot of fun to watch, and that Jeff's ok, giving him a match like that clearly shows their faith in him is growing cos they've been giving him more and more interesting singles matches lately.

Kidman was doing this to people on SSP's in the 90's, like... it's an accident, jesus christ.

This is for everyone paying attention to BTDO and realizing this is promo class mid terms

[lucas_lee]

Keep Sammy away from the Hardys. I dunno if Papa Shango cursed them to **** each other up but nah please stop.

[Magic knows Black Lives Matter]

At a certain point, you gotta just start chewing folks out, lmaooo. It is RAMPAGE . A SHOW WATCHED BY THRRE TUMBLEWEEDS. WHY ON EARTH IS “SSP” EVEN ENTERING YOUR MIND IN SUCH A LOW STAKES SCENARIO. WHERE ARE THE AGENTS!?!?!?

Best thing that could happen to this roster would be to bring in a Randy Orton type who can explain that yes, it really is ok to keep shit simple when you know got much bigger money shows ahead.

The wrestlers get paid the same annual salary regardless of the show and the SSP is an every match move for a lot of wrestlers and has been for two decades now. This just seems bizarre as a mindset given I don't think anyone ever says this about say, lariats, which can also mess people up.

Kidman’s SSP was notoriously bad. Knocked Chavo out for almost five minutes. Several did the SSP better than Kidman (And safer).

Help me understand how this bad thing happening in the 90s lessens the severity of something bad happening today?

Here’s the even more confusing bit: I think Sammy’s SSP, in itself, is fine. Gets good height and rotation. But this is all on Sammy. Dude isn’t safe on a major league promotional level. He’s sloppy.

Wrestling’s “power creep” with regard to moves that used to be used exclusively as finishers and on big shows becoming commonplace is an entirely different discussion, but the SSP is a pretty routine “high flyer” move these days. And not an especially unsafe one, generally speaking, at that.

I fail to see how this is any different than Shotzi apparently blowing out her knee after being knocked off the apron to the floor during a “meaningless” NXT TV taping that is watched by about 4 tumbleweeds and a passing bison by your standard. It’s wrestling, it’s an incredibly dangerous performance art. Sometimes shit happens.

I just hope it doesn’t derail the momentum that Jeff had been picking up recently, because he’s really been putting on shockingly good performances and having a bit of a career renaissance.

I didn't say it lessened the severity I'm saying that it was a bad accident off a move Sammy has done hundreds of times

I also can't really remember many times Guevara's injuries have been entirely on Guevara. I don't see this as him being a particularly unsafe worker.

Also Rampage is still a show seen my the same paying audience as Dynamite and a show they WANT YOU TO WATCH, so they put good matches on there

Show gets constantly disrespected like this and it's disheartening, the show's good, the wrestling on it is good and they don't really go harder than any other TV program. But it's rewarding for those of us who watch, which is way more then three tumbleweeds.
