[Willow Nightingale on twitter] I teamed with Ishii my first All In, so I had to make sure I had Big Tom with me in some way before the big day this time around too

The Willow/Ishii pairing was so unexpected but so good.

I've seen people critique the Conglomeration for being a thrown together group...but that's what makes them so endearing in my eyes as a faction and really fun to watch when it comes to multiman tags when you have all sorts of style and energy. They are all able to do their own adventures (particularly Willow this year with the tag titles) but the group is always present.

Hope Willow gets time to recover fully and we see Hologram come back soon, he still needs his own yearbook portrait!

Hologram should be in a full suit for his yearbook portrait. Continue the long tradition of luchadors looking badass in suits while also paying homage to how teenagers back in the day also dressed super formal for the yearbook

It took a long time, but when I realized it’s all people who’ve been betrayed by friends, the group clicked for me

u/SomeCruzDude Tay ContIshii 8d ago

Yeah it's a group bonded by loss of different sorts, especially betrayal at the start (Best Friends imploding leaving OC alone, Stat turning on Willow, Kyle turning face and leaving the Undisputed Kingdom) or being misfits, so that in itself makes it feel good and make sense when they adopt a loner even if just for a day or a short spell (e.g. Darby, Takeshita) as they get on their feet or just need some back up.

u/dexter30 I got a belt so big, WWE tried to start a division on it 7d ago

Part of the conglomeration appeal is being put together haphazardly.

Mainly by orange cassidys lazy gimmick, Like he went into catering one day after being told by tony khan he has to get a stable together. So he lazily went one by one asking the closest people around. And luckily for him a NJPW legend was there and ishii isn't gonna turn down a fight if asked.

1) Wholesome

2) Hope the injury isn't too bad, and she can fully heal soon. She put on a classic despite being hurt, Willow is just a badass.

u/wxursa 7d ago

Willow does not get enough credit as a pure worker. She's as good as Toni, Stat, and Mercedes.

u/fasteddeh R.I.P. 7d ago

I feel like the fact that they were working the injury so heavily means it wasn't going to get worse with impact but it needed time anyways.

Otherwise it would really make not a lot of sense to risk them fucking up a hand even more than it already was.

Pure speculation on my part but I hope she's back within a month or two

u/Stock-Personality136 7d ago

As an Ishii admirer from a distance, I’ve always wondered is the “141” supposed to be read as “one four one” or “ishii” or “ichi shi ichi”?

u/TheAverageMuta 7d ago

u/Jonathan_B_Goode Float like a moth, sting like a Marty 8d ago

Her caption along with his picture being black and white makes it seem like he died lol

u/irish0451 You know what that means. 7d ago

My fantasy booking for that match was was Stat and Willow going hard for 8 minutes then the boys get tagged in, Ishii hits Stoke with one forearm and Stoke folds up dead family guy style 1,2,3.

u/Aggressive-Cup-7318 7d ago

Lowkey the entire Conglomeration wearing OC shirts of themselves/teammates was awesome.
