Darby Allin rules

[Triple A]

Venue seems cool... seems like "there isn't a bad seat in the house"

[Evil Vito]

Pumped

[Jordan]

Yup yup.yup what it do

[Emperor Smeat]

The 6-man tag match should be really great overall but my most hyped match is that Moxley vs. Janela bout.

[Triple A]

Does the picture get totally pixelated for a second like every 15-30 seconds for anyone else? Annoying...

[Evil Vito]

Does the picture get totally pixelated for a second like every 15-30 seconds for anyone else? Annoying...

Yeah. Doesn’t impact my enjoyment much but I do notice it.

[Evil Vito]

That blonde in the black bikini would get it

[Emperor Smeat]

Did they ever explain what happens to the losing teams in this match?

Like are they eliminated from the tag tournament itself?

Winner only gets the chance to compete in another tag match for the actual 1st Rd bye.

[Triple A]

I don't think they said what happens to the losers. Probably will still be in the tournament, just won't have a chance at the bye

[Malfeitor]

Awesome match.

[Emperor Smeat]

3-way tag match was pretty great overall.

[Evil Vito]

Fun opener

[Emperor Smeat]

:lol:

[Evil Vito]

This librarian stuff is so cringe

[Evil Vito]

Allie :love:

[Jordan]

I do like Leva Bates butt

[Triple A]

This commentary team (other than Excalibur) seems kinda shitty

[Emperor Smeat]

:eek: Brandi watching tv backstage from a non-awkward angle.

[xrodmuc316]

I do like Leva Bates butt

I gotta say, I don't remember her ass looking THAT good in "Blue Pants" :rofl:

[Jordan]

Anyone know attendance?

[Emperor Smeat]

This commentary team (other than Excalibur) seems kinda shitty

Rest are from CEO and/or eSports scene. One of the guys tweeted earlier about being on tonight's show and his bio listed him as an eSports announcer.

[xrodmuc316]

Any word why Jim Ross isn't on?

[SlickyTrickyDamon]

Is this still the Pre-Show/Buy in?

[Emperor Smeat]

Ending was dumb but Allie vs. Bates was decent.

[xrodmuc316]

First streaming issue of the night for me.

[xrodmuc316]

Lol did the announcer just say "well that's a dick move"

[SlickyTrickyDamon]

Stream is working fine for me. I haven't seen that Netflix documentary on that doomed music festival though.

[xrodmuc316]

Stream is working fine for me. I haven't seen that Netflix documentary on that doomed music festival though.

Me either, and Hulu made one too. Wonder which is better.

[SlickyTrickyDamon]

If the match doesn't end with a loaded Powerglove then fuck it.

[Emperor Smeat]

:lol: at a Holy Shit chant for the kiddie pool slam spot.

[xrodmuc316]

If the match doesn't end with a loaded Powerglove then fuck it.

Lucas was so bad.

[Emperor Smeat]

That hardcore match was really good and hilarious.

Just now tuning in - how was the pre-show?

[Evil Vito]

Christopher Daniels doesn’t ever age.

[slik]

Where is everybody?!

[Evil Vito]

That was a good match. CIMA had to go over with a match against Kenny coming up.

[slik]

Would be funny if JR got wasted during this show and started singing Margaritaville

[Emperor Smeat]

Just now tuning in - how was the pre-show?

Triple Threat tag match was great.

Hardcore match was good and pretty entertaining.

Impromptu women's match between Allie and Leva Bates was decent but the Librarian gimmick really needs some serious tweaking or overhauling done.

[Triple A]

Just now tuning in - how was the pre-show?

Tag match was pretty good and worth watching.

Librarian match was "whatever"

Nakazawa match was pretty fun...

[Evil Vito]

:lol: Riho’s face when Nyla Rose entered

[SlickyTrickyDamon]

Missed that match. Had to make an iced coffee. Took a Benadryl earlier today and had a nap.

[slik]

Betting Nyla Rose wins this

[Evil Vito]

When they said Riho was a 13 year pro, I figured she must just be older than she looked.

Nope, she started her wrestling training at nine years old.

[slik]

#FyterFest is the number 1 trend worldwide r/n on Twitter

[rez]

Forgot again...just tuning in

[slik]

This match is great

[Triple A]

This match is great... best of the night so far imo

[rez]

hottie orientals mmm

[Triple A]

This rules

[SlickyTrickyDamon]

Put Naka in serious danger facing off a novice in a hardcore match. A few close calls with him landing on the top of his head and that table spot. They got lucky neither broke their necks.

[rez]

We're there, dude

[rez]

Fuck yeah

[Evil Vito]

What a great match!

[Emperor Smeat]

Women's Triple Threat was pretty good.

Started off slow but got way better the longer it went.

[slik]

Fantastic Triple Threat

[rez]

Who's the left play by play guy?

[rez]

Luchasaurus gonna interfere on Jungle Boy's behalf?

[Triple A]

Love MJF's theme... perfect for him

[slik]

lol @ MJF ring intro

[SlickyTrickyDamon]

When they said Riho was a 13 year pro, I figured she must just be older than she looked.

Nope, she started her wrestling training at nine years old.

Is she the one Omega wrestled in DDT?

[rez]

Hangman gonna take this

[Emperor Smeat]

MJF is amazing on the mic.

[slik]

I love MJF

[rez]

lolololololololool

[rez]

I like all these guys. Future is bright

[Evil Vito]

Jungle Boy’s theme rules

[slik]

Pyro

#emojiheart

[Triple A]

Jimmy Havoc should shave the sides and back of his head shorter to hide his bald spot better...

[Triple A]

cool @ Jungle Boy move off the ring post

[SlickyTrickyDamon]

Ouch.

[SlickyTrickyDamon]

Think Jungle Boy is concussed.

[Triple A]

Not only great mic skills by MJF but amazing heel mannerisms during his matches

[rez]

I wonder if Jericho will show up on the ramp to distract Page

[rez]

Yes. MJF is legit

[Emperor Smeat]

4-way match was pretty good. Makes sense Page won since AEW has to quickly build him up for the Jericho title match.

Justin Roberts giving time updates during matches has been a nice aspect of this show.

[slik]

Really interested in seeing what Allin can do

[rez]

I would love a night with Brandi. my my

[Triple A]

Commentary is great, putting Darby Allin over, telling his story, etc.

[Evil Vito]

Long live Justin Roberts

CODY......and Brandi RHODES!!!!!!!!

[rez]

Is this the dude that was in the Casino Battle Royale that was super lazy?

[Emperor Smeat]

Is Allin wearing slim yoga pants or leggings?

Something about his pants looks weird.

[rez]

Interesting they have the female ref doing this. Figured she was just for the womenz matches. Decent.

[Triple A]

Is this the dude that was in the Casino Battle Royale that was super lazy?

I think you're thinking of Orange Cassidy

[SlickyTrickyDamon]

Is this the dude that was in the Casino Battle Royale that was super lazy?

No sir. That was Orange Cassidy.

[rez]

Thanks

[SlickyTrickyDamon]

They've done a better job on this show on explaining who these guys are/why we should care etc.

[Evil Vito]

Darby Allin has some serious rag doll physics

[rez]

This match reminds me when rag doll physics came aboot in PC games.

[rez]

hhahhaah ^

[Triple A]

Feel like every Darby Allin match I've seen has pretty much been him being rag dolled around the ring and taking a bunch of punishment for most of the match... has good underdog energy

[Emperor Smeat]

:eek: at the apron spot by Allin.

[Evil Vito]

FUUUUUUUCK

[Emperor Smeat]

Yikes at Cody getting busted open from the chair shot.

Allin vs. Cody was pretty good overall.

[rez]

whoa

[Droford]

Dat don't look good

[Triple A]

jesus christ @ chair shot...

[slik]

I really liked the story of that match, Allin wouldn't give in

[slik]

That chair shot, OUCH

[Evil Vito]

Unprotected chair shots have no place in modern wrestling

[RP]

Unprotected chair shots helped Chris Benoit apply two of the most memorable submission holds in wrestling history.

[Evil Vito]

Now they're using their "Owen Hart has fallen" voices on commentary. Losing respect for this company pretty rapidly.

[Emperor Smeat]

:lol: at the timing of AEW's merch plug for Shawn Spears.

He whacks Cody with the chair to leave him in a bloody mess and a couple minutes later they advertise his merch on twitter.

[Triple A]

Now they're using their "Owen Hart has fallen" voices on commentary. Losing respect for this company pretty rapidly.

I think it's fine because it's legit concern since Cody was legitimately hurt

[slik]

Dean Malenko is a great example of the physique I wish Hangman had. You don't have to be Lex Luger, just shape up a little more.

[Emperor Smeat]

No wonder Omega blew half the budget on his and the Young Bucks gear for this Street Fighter stuff.

[rez]

Those intros were both legit

[rez]

lol is this a zinger @ WWE and their commercial restarts?

[Evil Vito]

See, now this is the kind of stuff the company should be focused on. This is fun.

[Emperor Smeat]

Now they're using their "Owen Hart has fallen" voices on commentary. Losing respect for this company pretty rapidly.

To be fair, they invoked it because of Cody actually being hurt from the attack and not the overdone and haphazard way WWE invokes it. If there was no blood, the "Owen" voices would have come off a lot more insincere.

Also seems Cody might have bladed himself and not actually have been busted open from the chair itself. Still pretty dumb to do an unprotected shot.

[Droford]

Unprotected chair shots have no place in modern wrestling

Am I the only one that thinks Cody botched it

[Droford]

I thought oh he might have bladed with the cut to the shot of the standoff argument but they showed a different angle on the replay where he didn't move his hands

[rez]

He bladed for sure

[Triple A]

Every WWE "tope suicida" looks like absolute shit compared to the one Fenix does

[xrodmuc316]

Unprotected chair shots have no place in modern wrestling

Couldn't agree more. That really took me out of it.

It took about 5 minutes of this 6 man tag to get me back into things.

[xrodmuc316]

He bladed for sure

Bladed or not, get a gimmicked guitar of something. No need for an unprotected chair shot.

[Emperor Smeat]

:lol: at the Hadouken spot.

[rez]

Didnt agree with the chair shot just knew how the blood came.

[Emperor Smeat]

That Spanish Fly spot was great.

[Emperor Smeat]

6-man tag match was amazing.

[rez]

We getting that unsanctioned match meow?

[slik]

I wonder if AEW will have time-limits be a regular thing

[rez]

Fucking love Omega

[xrodmuc316]

It's a shame Penta has to keep fighting the EVPs. He is far too good to be 0-3 in AEW.

[rez]

Where's his lovely ring wench?

[Triple A]

Worried @ Janela doing some insane shit

[rez]

[Droford]

I wonder if AEW will have time-limits be a regular thing

Makes sense on free tv but paid shows if they do better use draws sparingly

[Droford]

Worried @ Janela doing some insane shit

Fake leg used already

[Evil Vito]

So seems Mox has decided to wear totally different gear for AEW than he does for NJPW. I dig it.

[Emperor Smeat]

I wonder if AEW will have time-limits be a regular thing

Probably not since one of the issues with the PAC vs Hangman Page match was them wanting to be very judicious to when time limit draws are done.

Probably also won't be as rare as they are in NJPW but likely the same mentality where if its done, there has to be a big reason for it.

[Droford]

Bugs me unsanctioned match but it's still a ref in AEW gear.

[slik]

Barbed wire chair

[Emperor Smeat]

Ouch at the barbed wire chair stomp

[Triple A]

Why does JR keep saying "suflex"...

[Droford]

Why does JR keep saying "suflex"...

Lol a wrestling cook gimmick with a souflex

How hasn't that happened

[xrodmuc316]

For someone who hates goofy stuff so much, Mox REALLY goes full cartoonish with his facial expressions sometimes.

[Triple A]

Worried about Renee Young watching this match

[slik]

Fun match so far

[Evil Vito]

Worried about Renee Young watching this match

I'd guess she's said "OH!" a bunch.

[Emperor Smeat]

Holy crap at the barbed wire board spot.

[xrodmuc316]

I'd guess she's said "OH!" a bunch.

In her living room by herself watching and out of habit is still telling Graves to shut up lol

[rez]

Loved how he used the ropes to get up the ladder

[Emperor Smeat]

Yikes at Moxley's back.

[RP]

OH!

[slik]

Odd thing about getting older is I didn't mind hardcore stuff when I was younger but I'm not so much a fan of it now

I don't mind this today - but I wouldn't want to see it all the time.

[slik]

OMG at barefeet and barbed wire

nervous....

[Triple A]

fuck

[Droford]

You sick fuck chant ?

[rez]

Damn, that was awesome

[Emperor Smeat]

Everything involving the thumb tacks was brutal.

Moxley vs Janela was great.

[rez]

Don't want to see hardcore all the time with Mox but yeah

wow

[rez]

I think he was making a point at WWE with this match

[slik]

Omega has CENA NUFF

[rez]

Fuck yeah. This is Omega's house

[rez]

Great show, minus the end of Cody's match

[slik]

100% this is more EXTREME than EXTREME RULES will be

[Evil Vito]

Thoroughly enjoyable show minus the unprotected chair shot bullshit.

[slik]

Overall a good show (I missed the preshow).

AEW has some kinks to work out but for a 2nd show where they are already at is pretty impressive.

[Triple A]

Yeah the chair shot thing was kind of a bummer but otherwise sweet show

[xrodmuc316]

Thoroughly enjoyable show minus the unprotected chair shot bullshit.

I did laugh a little at Mox getting hit with drumsticks, that's some goofy good shit.

Good show though.

[Emperor Smeat]

Moxley vs Omega is going to be great once AEW gets around to doing it.

Double or Nothing was the better of the two AEW shows but for a B-level show, tonight was very entertaining overall. With a few more events under their belt, AEW will probably get all the kinks out and find the right balance for their pre-show so its not as hit-or-miss in quality.

Chairshot to the head was really dumb but people are talking about it. So, they got what they wanted out of it.

Do they have heels and faces? MJF seems to be a heel but he ran out quickly to see if Cody was ok.

Omega is a face right? But he did a heel like asswhooping on Mox at the end. Also, he was doing dickish heel mannerisms with the drumsticks.

Will be better with a weekly TV show to show why things are happening.

It's booked for All Out.

[slik]

I noticed their production didn't have as many gaffes tonight too

[slik]

Cody vs Darby was my MOTN

Good storytelling

[xrodmuc316]

It's booked for All Out.

It sure feels like that is the main event, not the World Title match.

[Triple A]

Yeah every Cody match for AEW (including All In) has been so good... Always the most emotion-inducing matches of the show

[Triple A]

Match was slow paced but didn't feel long at all and wanted it to go longer

[SlickyTrickyDamon]

Cutting away the camera after chairshot for Cody to blade unseen. Improving.

Stream was perfect for the entire night.

[rez]

I'm trying not to go full fan boi on AEW but it's hard since we've been accepting shit for so long.

I hope it pushes WWE to be better..

I hope Paul and Bischoff can do some magic to make that product better because I'd rather watch backyard wrestling at this point.

[Destor]

Thoroughly enjoyable show minus the unprotected chair shot bullshit.

So it really was done the hard way. Thought at first maybe it was a quick blade job because of the camera cuts done and the delay to when his hair turned red.

Hopefully unprotected shots is something they don't do again in the future. Not worth the health problems in the long run.

[SlickyTrickyDamon]

Dark photo and a tweet that says 12 staples. I think it still could have been a blade job.

[Simple Fan]

Great show. Listened to Cornette's preview of the show a few hours before to get ready for it.

Daniels vs Cima was good but went a bit long in my opinion. Thought it was a good first match in the sense that it didn't top anything else on the card and was a good match.

Was really impressed with the women's triple threat match. Worked it well with Nyla Rose being the power house that the Joshi girls had to overcome. Riho is going to be a star in their women's division.

I like the draw being used in the Cody/Dary match plus it was a great match. Holy shit at the chair shot by Spears though afterwards. Haven't seen something like that in a while and it was brutal. They did say away from it either with the multiple replays. Cody is great and giving it his all for this company. Looks like Cody vs Spears at All Out and I'll be there.

6 man was a good match and i figured Kenny was going to fo a video games thing. I just wish they would have got Roberts to do a "Finish Him" before the One Winged Angel.

It was cool what the did with the lights out stuff before the unsanctioned match. Set the scene for tge match, kind of wish they went a bit further and put down a new canvas to hide the AEW logo. Still a hell of a match and the Kenny payback after was great.

Will be at a NASCAR race during Fight for the Fallen but will watch it the next day. They've set up a bunch of stuff already for All Out though with Jericho/Page, Kenny/Mox, and Cody/Spears fueds so I'm ready for it.

[SlickyTrickyDamon]

Corny had to duck out after the debacle with the CEO guy being dangerous, untrained and breaking out in laughter fits during the match. I don't expect a glowing review or any review unless he ignores that match and continues.

Really? That spot was awesome. Cody isn't fucking around here. STD you just sound ignorant, heel like asswhooping, and heel mannerisms? Stone Cold became the biggest Babyface in the business with stuff like that. You want him to hug him or something?

[Triple A]

The spot was cool but it was a bummer cause I thought he was legit injured / concussed

[Simple Fan]

Well yeah that was the fucking point.

[Volare]

C'mon Tricky u didn't get the whiff of MJF being there cause that's his meal ticket and he's kissing ass?

Was revealed during the post-show press conference.

[Sepholio]

Easily the most incredible event Ive ever been too. The crowd was hyped up as hell for nearly every match.

[Jordan]

One thing to note... My gf who doesn't really like pro wrestling that much but whom I can get interested depending on the worker... At the end if the show she said "that was fucking great".

[Jordan]

Easily the most incredible event Ive ever been too. The crowd was hyped up as hell for nearly every match.

Awesome! How was attendance?

[Jordan]

Well yeah that was the fucking point.

My gf was so worried lmao I felt like I was watching an old World Class angle where the Von Erich's get beat down. She was considering tweeting brandi to see if he's okay. "Is this real!?!" Lol.

[Jordan]

Well I won't leave you waiting in anticipation. You want to know how good the matches were, and I'm here to tell you.

Opening Three Way Tag *** 3/4
Wow, Private Party was fantastic. I loved that Best Friends won as I think they are a very pushable team.

Bates's butt in shorts *
Eh, the only thing good about this match were the late 2000's style skimpy outfits around the crotchal regions of the rasslers. Librarians suck.

Jabailey vs Nakazawa ** 1/2
This shit was hilarious. Obviously the work was bad from Jebailey but holy shit I was laughing. I liked it.

Daniels vs CIMA ***
This was a solid show opener with good rasslin. Daniels is still very good but he does have Matt Hardy back so...

Rose/Riho/Sakazaki ** 1/2
I didn't love this match but there was some good work, the Japanese girls were too unbelievable for me in working over Rose.

Page/Boy/MJF/Havoc *** 1/2
Solid stuff but a little shot. However it was so well put together, giving everyone a direction afterward.

Cody vs Darby Allin **** 1/2
Match of the night as far as workin and story goes. Cody was incredible, one of his best performances and Darby came off like an immediate star. I love the GF barometer and Darby was a star to my GF at the end of this. He can be a main guy in AEW after this. Great match to establish the time limit draw being a thing in AEW. The post match angle was what wrestling hasn't had in so long. True confusion. Is he hurt? Well thankfully he wasn't. But that was some Von Erich level concern for Cody. Wonderfully done.

Elite vs Lucha Bro's & Laredo Kid *** 3/4
Really fun match, it had some small hiccups though. I am a little "over" the Lucha Bro's... they don't sell anything so it's just move move move. Some of this match was on turbo and it just went to fast. I love the Bucks and Kenny, I wasn't too hot on The Mexicans in this match but still, it was a great match.

LIGHTS OUT MOX and JOEY ****
I loved this. I'm 32 but when I was around 14 I discovered the Death Match scene via my exposure from HAVE A NICE DAY. I became a tape trader and collected tons of Japanese Death Match classics. As I've gotten older my taste has changed greatly and I don't really get into the death match stuff, unless I see it live and I won't lie I mark the fuck out, because I never got to see that stuff when I was 14 live, so I have a lot of nostalgia marking ability.

This was fucking great to me. It escalated and escalated until I literally screamed like Joey Style OH MY GOD! When he dropped poor Joey on his bare feet on the tacks. I loved it. I cannot rate it higher than Darby and Cody because what it took to pull off their match I have more respect for. But, again... fucking loved this. And I LOVED seeing Kenny get rabid on Mox. Such a great beat down from him, with the return at the end to hit the double arm DDT on the stage. Great ending.

Also I wish Kenny would stop dying his hair to skank girl who bangs hot topic employee at the mall look.

Also I want to say that I don't think Adam Page is going to curate an organic following in the way that AEW would like and by the end of the year will be a heel. He's not Kerry Von Erich and I think that Tony thinks he is.

[Evil Vito]

The fact that they had MJF, who is seemingly in character 24/7, have to run out and act concerned for Cody to push across that the situation was “real”, also miffed me.

MJF should always be acting like a dickbag heel to everyone forever.

We saw a side to MJF we've never seen. Something deeper than the schtick and that was important. It was almost as important a moment for MJF as it was Cody and Spears.

[Blue Demon]

I hope they really make a go of it, it all seems promising. I'll watch if it works out. I hope they reach a TV deal in Canada (heard they approached TSN, which hasn't had wrestling on it since '06 when WWE switched)

[#1-norm-fan]

I took this as a minor free show just intended to get guys over and not blow their load on the major matches before All Out. Sounds like it over-delivered though. That gives me a little more hope that they’ll be able to manage weekly TV well.

[Sepholio]

I guess I need to watch darby v Cody on the stream today because I dont know What you guys saw in that match that the live audience didn't. I would honestly say that match went over the worst with the live crowd out of every match other than the librarian vs allie. Had the least crowd reactions and tons of people complaining about darby and how he dont belong in the ring with Cody. Large group right behind us had been hyping darby all night....literally they all apologized for some reason to everyone around us after the match for being mistaken about him.

MJF is apart of the Nightmare Family though. Don't agree with the last part you said. That's kind of like a WWE thing where all the heels are friends just because they are heels. There is no personality to them other than bad guy.

With MJF he can be a dick to everyone but it's already been set up that he's trying to impress Cody but once Cody leaves the room he's degrading Pharroh or Brandi. Makes his character so much better when he can play both sides of the coin. Plus when Cody finai catches on to what he's doing that program will be great.

[Sepholio]

Attendance was v good. Almost a packed house. Few empty seats in the tier above the door entrance to the arena but there were enough people milling about on foot that it could have easily been a packed house in reality.

[Ol Dirty Dastard]

I don't love those hardcore matches - but if Mox uses those kinds of gruesome affairs to add to his mythos, and is still versatile in other styles, I'm all for it if it doesn't horribly shorten his career.

For instance, most of Foley's deathmatches were the shits, yet still gave him a special aura. But it was only effective because he worked so well with almost every kind of wrestler.

I hope Mox can maintain that balance because I like him.

All those “zany” things Vince wanted him to say he did to show how unhinged he is immediately got more hilarious after seeing him tear at Juice Robinson’s head with his fucking teeth.

[Lock Jaw]

Gonna watch this now I guess.... starting with the Kickoff I guess....

[Lock Jaw]

Hate the idea of "non-sanctioned matches"..... only one I have ever seen done good was Ciampa/Gargano....

Don't like the idea of the main event of their second show ever being "non-sanctioned" either..... Feel like there has to be like a deep seated hatred/long-standing story as to why they would do that..... not on their second show ever.....

[Lock Jaw]

What is up with the bikin brauds and the tents.... thought it was gonna be a special thing for someone's entrance.... are they just gonna be there all night.....

[Lock Jaw]

The two new dudes on commentary instantly making the show better.....

[Lock Jaw]

Opening triple threat tag match was great.... that's the way to start a show, not with some terrible Battle Royale.....

I think the team who least should have won the thing won it, though..... think Private Party should of obviously gone over here.....

[Lock Jaw]

Promo by The Dark Order was pretty bad.... At least they have a name now.... also way too long spent with the lights out.... need to tighten that up for quicker appear/vanish......

[Lock Jaw]

"Documentary" segment pretty bad too.... really wish they would cut Kenny Omega away from being goofy and just present him as a "big deal star"....... All this does is hurt him....

[Lock Jaw]

A gimmick about someone who reads a lot and pushes books on people could be good..... but this librarian gimmick is terrible, and they gave it to two people......

[Emperor Smeat]

What is up with the bikin brauds and the tents.... thought it was gonna be a special thing for someone's entrance.... are they just gonna be there all night.....

That and the stuff with the Bucks/Omega during the pre-show was all meant to be a parody of the infamous Fyre Festival debacle.

Even the name of the event itself was a play on that.

[Lock Jaw]

Allie vs Leva Bates went on way too long....

[Lock Jaw]

Does not change it from being terrible, and stuff that they should separate Kenny Omega from.....

[Lock Jaw]

oh no

This terrible Nakazawa guy....

[Jordan]

Lol Lock Jaw you gotta just get past the pre show.

Have you rewatched it yet? I'm totally shocked by your report. I was kinda hating on Darby before the match but buy the end I was like "THIS GUY".

[Lock Jaw]

Well. I never want to see either of those two ever again.

Also, why do a hardcore match when you have a non-sanctioned match that will no doubt get hardcore later on?

[Mr. Nerfect]

It is weird that they put so much bullshit onto a show that is supposed to entice you.

[xrodmuc316]

Props to Khan for immediately squashing the idea that chair shots to the head will be part of AEW. Even with the take that it was a gimmicked chair, it shows how quickly something like that can go wrong. It's just not worth the risks knowing what we know in 2019.

[Lock Jaw]

Daniels/Cima a good little opening..... always thought it was cool as a kid when you'd have rasslers from other feds and they always seemed "cool and different" like "whoa there is a bigger world"..... now that I'm an adult and old and jaded, I don't care as much....

[Lock Jaw]

Wish that they would "explain" who Excalibur is and why he wears a mask.... like, is he a former pro rassler? Why doesn't he give more "former pro rassler" insight.....

I guess "Goldenboy" for the other dude is also a pretty "un-explained" name too.... just want my commentators to have normal names.....

[Emperor Smeat]

Well. I never want to see either of those two ever again.

Also, why do a hardcore match when you have a non-sanctioned match that will no doubt get hardcore later on?

Its meant to be two different matches even though they share similar rules. Like how a Hell in a Cell is meant to be a more brutal version of a cage match or a Street Fight being more brutal than a No DQ or Falls Count Anywhere match.

The idea being that a non-sanctioned match is too brutal for AEW's own liking but they won't actively stop the two guys from beating up each other. Whatever happens is those guys fault and they are not getting paid for it as well.

[Lock Jaw]

Nyla Rose vs. Japan match was real good, but ending was a bit anti-climactic.....

Definitely a much better showcase for Nyla Rose than her match at Double or Nothing and being overshadowed by Awesome Kong..... seems like smart booking would have kept them apart, and built up to a confrontation between them.....

[Lock Jaw]

MJF promo was just "alright", but he's got potential....

Jungle Boy and Jimmy Havoc both seem "bad"....

Adam Page with some sweet pyro.... but still doesn't seem or look like a main event talent.... Let's see how the match goes....

[Lock Jaw]

lol at MJF running full speed so he could get flattened by the tower of doom....

Also, very disturbed and distracted by Jimmy Havoc's hairline.....

Jungle Boy actually seems like he's got some talent.... just wish he had any name other than Jungle Boy, which is extremely dumb

[Lock Jaw]

Was an alright match, but felt very much like "filler".... Better showcase for Adam Page than that dumb battle royale.... I could see him working good with Jericho now actually....

[Lock Jaw]

Nice little hype package before Cody/Darby Allin..... should have had more Darby Allin in the package though, and less Cody/Dustin.....

[Lock Jaw]

Commentators putting over Darby Allin and his story pretty good though.....

Weirded out by his ring-gear though.... he needs to improve that I think.....

[Lock Jaw]

Great match between Cody/Allin.... was not expecting to see a time-limit draw at all.... Was "weird" at how time was "winding down" and Cody was all "what do I do?" instead of "Oh, I better try my finisher now".... only finally tried for his finisher at 30 seconds or so....

[Lock Jaw]

Damn.... that chairshot and gash..... This is why they shouldn't do unprotected chair shots either.....

[Lock Jaw]

Dunno why the hell MJF is out here helping Cody.... I know this is maybe "real" and he came out to help his "friend"..... but in-character, he shouldn't give a damn... unless it is like "Oh this is my chance to suck up to the boss"

[Lock Jaw]

A good way to play off and get "heat" for Sean Spears I guess.... hopefully everyone forgets about him getting eliminated from a battle royale by a man with no legs....

[Lock Jaw]

Feel like just from this entrance and everything around it, Kenny Omega's "starpower" has taken a decrease already.....

[Fignuts]

I think the fact that MJF actually cares about Cody adds more depth to the character.

[Fignuts]

Feel like just from this entrance and everything around it, Kenny Omega's "starpower" has taken a decrease already.....

He was never a star to begin with. No one in this company is, outside of Jericho.

[Lock Jaw]

My thoughts after the 6-man tag: "Cool, it's over"

Dunno.... already "desensitized" to that "style" of rassling (no psychology, but just lots of cool movez).... felt myself just wanting to "skip to the end" and see the ending of the match....

[Lock Jaw]

He was never a star to begin with. No one in this company is, outside of Jericho.

Which is why they need to build them up..... I thought Kenny looked good against Jericho, but he pretty much lost all his "starpower" (or "potential starpower") built up from that event.....

[Lock Jaw]

Gonna leave the main event for another day.... tired....

There were things I liked but a lot of things I disliked. Too much overly-choreographed shit. But damned if some of it didn't look fabulous.

[Fignuts]

What potential star power?

[Lock Jaw]

What potential star power?

You know.... where you see the dude and go "Ok, I could see buying him as a legit "main event" player".......

[Fignuts]

Being a main event we doesn’t make someone a star

[Fignuts]

There are no stars in wrestling anymore.

[Fignuts]

Not sure why I haven’t killed myself yet.

[Lock Jaw]

Because there is still a star... in your heart (and his name is Lock Jaw)

[Simple Fan]

Nothing wrong with an unprotected chair shot if the performer is down for it. I think it's pathetic that most fans are turned off by something that Cody gave so much for. I've even heard it didn't progress anything, bullshit he's clearly going to want to beat Spears ass now. It was probably my favorite moment of the show and Cody is their MVP right now.

So sorry we don't want to see somebody turn into a monster like Chris Benoit or take their own life like Chris Boogard or Junior Seau.

Seriously, fuck you.

[Jordan]

By the way This Dark Order gimmick fucking sucks, is Kevin Sullivan an advisor on creative? The Librarians, as recorded also sucks. Kenny playing a goof with stupid hair also sucks and doesn't make him come off as a major star. Good thing Cody is bringing it.
