AEW in Kansas City - Feb 26th

[slik]

Final show before REVOLUTION

[Evil Vito]

They’ve been on a string of really great episodes since the started gearing up for Revolution. Here’s hoping it continues.

[Supreme Olajuwon]

They really shot their load last week so I dunno what they’re going to do for the go home show.

[Ultra Mantis]

Cheap plug for anyone watching - don't miss your chance to join the first AEW edition of TPWW Survivor. Sign ups are open until Revolution (pre-show?) begins.

CLICK THIS LINK (https://www.tpwwforums.com/showthread.php?t=136904) and sign yourself up. Gertner would like to beat as many of us as possible and I know you'd hate to disappoint him.

[Evil Vito]

They really shot their load last week so I dunno what they’re going to do for the go home show.

A quarter of the show will be the PAC/Omega iron man, more when you factor in entrances and post-match. So that helps.

[rez]

I can't wait to read Noid's in-depth review of tonight's Dynamite.

[slik]

Huge AEW chant from the crowd to open the show.

[Emperor Smeat]

Interesting choice to start off with the Iron Man match.

[rez]

Crowd is hot!

[slik]

Do I want to know how much Chris Jericho weighs?

[slik]

Iron Man baybay

[slik]

I like that they have the clock onscreen the whole match so no fuckery can take place

[Triple A]

tbh I wasn't feeling as "fired up" about this episode as I usually feel, but I am now that I'm watching... hot crowd

[slik]

Omega's gear looks much better tonight than usual, IMO

[slik]

tbh I wasn't feeling as "fired up" about this episode as I usually feel, but I am now that I'm watching... hot crowd


About 3-4 hours north of me...Want them to get a lil closer

[Emperor Smeat]

Wonder if they will take a commercial break, split-screen style, during this match since I don't think they ever said before if this was a commercial free spot.

[Triple A]

damn @ top rope brainbuster

[Emperor Smeat]

Ouch at that top rope brainbuster. At first, it looked like Omega legit spiked his head on the mat.

[Triple A]

Sweet German suplex

[slik]

Great match but don't overdue kickouts plz

[Emperor Smeat]

:lol: at the "You killed Kenny" chants.

[Evil Vito]

Ouch

[Triple A]

smh @ censoring "holy shit" chants

[slik]

TNT bleeping out Holy Shit chants

[Emperor Smeat]

Ouch at the thud sound Omega's back made to the outside.

Don't think PAC got the memo that this is an Iron Man match and not a First Dead match.

[Triple A]

Great match but don't overdue kickouts plz

I think it's ok cause he wasn't kicking out of his finisher

[Evil Vito]

Whoa!

[ClockShot]

Looks like I didn't miss much.

Evening, kiddos.

[Triple A]

This match rules

[ClockShot]

SAFE!

[Emperor Smeat]

Hangman might need to find a new partner for his PPV match this weekend since PAC is doing his best to kill Omega tonight.

[ClockShot]

A draw.

So one more match to settle it.

[ClockShot]

Or sudden death.

Cool.

[Emperor Smeat]

Iron Man match was great.

[ClockShot]

Kamagoye.

He still loves ya, Kota. :kiss:

[Triple A]

Wonderful

[slik]

That was a fantastic Iron Man match.

[slik]

That honestly felt like a WrestleMania-level match.

[Emperor Smeat]

:eek: Orange with the serious face.

Orange vs PAC feud sounds great based on that little tease.

[ClockShot]

Pac goes in to a fresh (squeezed) feud with Cassidy?

I'm down.

[ClockShot]

Well hello, backstage honey.

[Triple A]

Not going to be able to watch the PPV live cause I am going 2 be at a "bachelor party" :-(

[rez]

There better be strippers. It's not a bachelor party without strippers.

At least that's how I feel since some dude had us go fucking camping for his and it fucking snowed. Also...said dude slept in his camper while we schmucks slept in tents.

[slik]

Tazzzzzz baybay

[rez]

The only way I'd approve of the new Home Alone movie is if Luchasaurus is the South Bend Shovel Slayer.

[Emperor Smeat]

Ouch at Marko taking a boot to the head from that Luchasaurus dive.

6-man tag match was very good overall.

[Triple A]

What are the other matches tonight?

[Triple A]

What are the other matches tonight?

– Best Friends vs. The Butcher & The Blade

– Chris Jericho and Jon Moxley weigh-in

Did they announce anything else? I missed the first few mins

[Triple A]

Kris Statlander apparently has the flu... supposed to face Nyla Rose @ the PPV... wonder if they had a segment planned for them tonight

[Emperor Smeat]

4-way Women's match is also happening later tonight.

[Triple A]

4-way Women's match is also happening later tonight.

Who's in it?

[slik]

whatever happened to the fat broad who thought she was freddy mercury

[ClockShot]

whatever happened to the fat broad who thought she was freddy mercury

Emi Sakura?

Don't know.

[slik]

AEW has overtaken #coronavirus to become the top third trend on Twitter tonight....only needs to dethrone The Masked Singer and Pence to claim top spot.

[Triple A]

I like Schiavone better than Taz...

[rez]

Taz is good but Tony is a national treasure.

[slik]

what happened to tony

#Justice4Tony

[Emperor Smeat]

whatever happened to the fat broad who thought she was freddy mercury

She's back working in Thailand for the time being I think. Her and like every other women's wrestler used from Japan are still just part-timers for AEW.

Think Shida is still in the process of eventually becoming a full-time wrestler for AEW.

[slik]

WWE should sign mercury lady and have her feud with Shayna

[Triple A]

They should bring back Jamie Hayter...

[slik]

wonder if luke harper debuts on sat night for aew

[slik]

...still incredibly lame that reports say Eric Rowan's 'thing in the cage' will be revealed as a tarantula

[Emperor Smeat]

:lol: at JR forgetting the Hulk Hogan and Andre the Giant Mania tag line.

[ClockShot]

I'd have just given her a kiss. Who cares if the husband is watching.

[rez]

hhahaaahhahaha

[Emperor Smeat]

For a guy who barely does anything in the ring, OC might legit be in the top tier of most over guys currently in wrestling.

[Triple A]

Not going to be able to watch the PPV live cause I am going 2 be at a "bachelor party" :-(

shit............... pac vs. orange cassidy.......... damn

[Triple A]

the best

[Triple A]

Oprah looks good for her age!!!

[Supreme Olajuwon]

There is a giant dude in the front row with his hood up and sunglasses on. Probably just some really cool dude being cool. Or maybe not...

[Emperor Smeat]

:y: at them using Yuka's "Ayayaya" theme for her entrance.

[slik]

I think AEW should consider Kansas City for a future ppv.
They've been a red-hot crowd all night.

[ClockShot]

Yuka, Hikaru, Shanna, and Swole.

This should be fun.

[rez]

When OC eventually needs a new gimmick he should credit DDP Yoga to get him out of his laid back slacker ways.

[slik]

women's division still needs to improve

[ClockShot]

Not bad. But, I think 1 body too many.

[Supreme Olajuwon]

That was a mess. Everyone but Shida should feel bad about themselves.

[Triple A]

Seems like it's def not gonna be Matt Hardy at this point... too many obvious hints

[Emperor Smeat]

Women's match was pretty good overall.


women's division still needs to improve
Yeah, its been slowly getting better these past few weeks but still has a way to go. Like whenever NXT puts the spotlight on a new crop, the division just needs more time to gel and get more comfortable working together.

[rez]

obsolete. heh

[Emperor Smeat]

Hangman looks like he's about to beat up Matt Jackson after he insulted his booze.

[ClockShot]

TAKE CONTROL, JR!

[ClockShot]

A scale, red carpet, ring babes.

They're really going all out for this?

[slik]

Gary Michael Capetta!?!

That's an awesome surprise, vintage WCW!

[Emperor Smeat]

So if this weigh-in is like MMA/Boxing style, are Moxley and Jericho going to have to strip down to their tighty whities for it?

[Triple A]

Such a good entrance theme (Moxley)

[ClockShot]

I want to know who's idea was this.

Khan? Jericho?

C'mon.

[Triple A]

JR and Taz using lots of bad grammar!!!

[BigCrippyZ]

God this is a great two hours.

[Evil Vito]

Singing to Jericho’s theme again

Noid ripping out his pubic hair in frustration

[ClockShot]

Ooof.

Nice burn, Jericho.

[Triple A]

Jericho is incredible

[BigCrippyZ]

Fucking incredible talent and television.

[rez]

Mox's hoodie 'unscripted' hehe

[Supreme Olajuwon]

Fans booing Jericho just to get themselves over

[Emperor Smeat]

:lol: Jericho

[slik]

This is an A+ crowd

[Emperor Smeat]

AEW's love of brawls has been pretty amazing to watch.

[Emperor Smeat]

:lol: at JR pleading for them to not hurt the Dippin Dots

[ClockShot]

:lol:

Ring babes just chillin' the corner not giving a damn.

[Evil Vito]

So fucking stoked for Revolution

[Emperor Smeat]

The weigh-in segment and brawl afterwards was great.

That was a very good go-home show for Revolution.

[Triple A]

Amazing episode again, and the crowd made it so much better

[rez]

THE DAMN DIPPIN DOTS

[BigCrippyZ]

The Mrs. and I are buying and watching Revolution. So damn good.

[rez]

Singing to Jericho’s theme again

Noid ripping out his pubic hair in frustration

and tallying how many times that other federation has been mentioned in this thread.

[Emperor Smeat]

Amazing episode again, and the crowd made it so much better

Yeah in terms of crowds, the show they had in Baltimore was the only real time the crowd felt very weak during it although that could have also been due to poor crowd mics.

Maybe the Fight for the Fallen PPV crowd as well but that was more due to them being exhausted from how hot it was outside.

[BigCrippyZ]

and tallying how many times that other federation has been mentioned in this thread.

What a fucking pathetic moron... and that is awful to say given his realistic and objective past. Whatever... AEW is far from perfect, but damn, if it isn’t fucking phenomenal, especially in comparison to the bullshit and trash, that Noid is randomly now praising as “superior”... however, his NEW standard is fucking ridiculously stupid and absurd.

[Jordan]

Amazing episode again! PAC and Kenny was a 5 star classic. So many good moments tonight. Main event segment was great as well and JR was on point. Tazz is great as well. The Bucks and Kenny/Page interview was fantastic. The women's match was pretty lame though.

[Jordan]

Not going to be able to watch the PPV live cause I am going 2 be at a "bachelor party" :-(


I might really damage my relationship with this one friend but I'm gonna miss her bday party for Revolution.

[slik]

Airing a 1 hr special is smart bc it will stop some people to switching to the nxt overrun

[Emperor Smeat]

Airing a 1 hr special is smart bc it will stop some people to switching to the nxt overrun

Probably for the best since reading some quick highlights of tonight's NXT and it seems to have suffered from the same wtf booking decisions like last week's show. Won't know for sure till I watch it later this week.

Also seems WWE is using EVOLVE again to counter this weekend's AEW PPV. Unlike last time, seems they really half-assed the planning of it.

[slik]

So if this weigh-in is like MMA/Boxing style, are Moxley and Jericho going to have to strip down to their tighty whities for it?

I thought Jericho might strip down to a (stuffed) leopard print bikini tbh, it would fit his 80's rockstar who partied too hard shtick.

Also, if wrestlers are stripping down for weigh-ins I am requesting a Darby and Sammy weigh-in.

If I were gay that'd be hawt

[Damian Rey 2.0]

Another fun show. Omega v Pac was fucking stellar. And bless them, they made a fucking weigh in fun as hell. Really excited for Revolution.

[BigCrippyZ]

:lol::lol: Jericho is fucking phenomenal, especially as a heel. So damn great.

[xrodmuc316]

Would have preferred Pac win the ironman. Kenny is tied up in the tag division then the obvious fued with Page.

Kenny won't need a big win until the end of the Page saga. Pac needs to be booked better. His debut win vs Kenny feels like a lifetime ago.

PAC will make OC look good but obviously win.

Damn is that actually booked, thought Pac just beat him up. I just picked OC in the TPWW Survivor :-\

[rez]

yeah

Tony regaining his passion with calling wrestling has been one of the low key great things about AEW.

Like every week he's come across as a guy who's genuinely having a blast out there and enjoying everything he's missed and all the new stuff about wrestling these days.

[Mr. Nerfect]

The real question is if Pac attacked Michael Nakazawa again?

[slik]

solid analysis

[Mr. Nerfect]

Thanks. It’s been a burning question for weeks. Probably because they never pay it off. Is Tully Blanchard still on that chair?

[Volare]

That headbutt....7 stitches.

[Ol Dirty Dastard]

The thing Noid doesn't seem to get is that nobody is telling him he has to like Dynamite, like at all. I don't make a huge effort to watch it or anything, but appreciate what they're doing.

I've seen the likes of Lock Jaw complain about stupidity on the show etc., but because he's not an utter twat nobody takes it to heart.

It's the need to be like "THIS IS THE WORST FUCKING SHOW AND FUCK YOU GUYS FOR LIKING IT" approach that rubs people the wrong way. Then acting like people won't let you say your opinion, and acting like some kind of victim.

Like we get it Noid. You don't like AEW. That's cool.


But people just want to enjoy the show and there's something about it that clearly resonates with them. That doesn't mean they're not willing to hear constructive criticisms.

So, be critical where you deem it necessary -- even if it's about the whole show. But being critical and being an insufferable, condescending little asswipe are two different things.

[Evil Vito]

Dale Newstead for <s>President</s> Prime Minister

[Mr. Nerfect]

Did they ever explain on-air why the Nightmare Collective doesn’t exist anymore?

[Emperor Smeat]

Somewhat.

They did the break up angle on Dark at least to writing out Kong and like a therapy skit with Brandi hinting at her having a double personality or inner demons.

The actual payoff to Brandi stuff was on Twitter though.

Thanks. Didn’t think they did. Saw a bunch of people saying it was AEW listening to the fans, but then Brandi went on Observer Radio and said that they wanted her to keep it going, but she wanted to drop it. It’s not really both things.
