[ClockShot]

And off we go.

Good evening, folks.

[rez]

Greetings

[slik]

Jake The Snake good promo

[ClockShot]

Suzuki-Gun vs. (sorta) CHAOS.

May the best faction win.

[Emperor Smeat]

Jake The Snake good promo

Yeah all of his promos since his AEW debut have been gold.

[Evil Vito]

Love Colt Cabana

[Emperor Smeat]

Going to laugh if Archer just utterly destroys Colt after this heartwarming vignette for him and his upcoming match.

[Emperor Smeat]

:lol: at Archer randomly beating up someone in the crowd.

[Damian Rey 2.0]

Already love Archer

[ClockShot]

Poor Britt.

Flying solo on the heel side of the crowd section.

[Damian Rey 2.0]

Colt doing a really good job with his body language

[slik]

Lance Archer seems like he will be AEW World Champ within a year

[Triple A]

Sucks that there are not gonna be any crowds probably until next year......... Hot crowds were such a big/important part of AEW........

[ClockShot]

That was good.

[Emperor Smeat]

Archer vs Cabana was pretty decent to good.

Probably the best possible from them considering their different ring styles.

[rez]

WTF? it skipped the pin. For a second I thought it wasn't recorded but it showed the replay. lol

[Evil Vito]

Britt Baker so hot

[ClockShot]

Britt's office is...…bland.

Do I see hand sanitizer there?! WATCH YOUR BACK, BRITT!! They'll kill ya for it.

Just ask Renee Young.

[ClockShot]

ESPN cares about AEW?!

Someone call Vince.

[rez]

^ and The Rock recently saying he watches AEW.

[Emperor Smeat]

New Batman comic series looks pretty cool based on that commercial.

Been meaning to restart my comics hobby and might grab that as my first new book in over a year.

[Emperor Smeat]

For someone who is a dentist, trying to break people's teeth doesn't seem very dentist-like.

[ClockShot]

Okay.

This Tout crap or whatever you call it can stop now.

Too WWE-ish.

[slik]

Vince tried to hire Mike Goldberg in like 2005 to replace Jim Ross

[Emperor Smeat]

Unless AEW is using Double or Nothing week to tape months worth of new episodes, rather they just call off the event for the time being.

Still too early for wrestling to be holding major events even without a crowd.

[Emperor Smeat]

:lol: at this Bubbly Bunch segment.

Whelp Chuckie T just broke something in rage since Hager got to say "shit" this week.

[Evil Vito]

Sugar Dunkerton!!!

[Damian Rey 2.0]

Guevara getting pissed at being called a fake Latino and then only being able to count to 5 in Spanish :lol:

[Emperor Smeat]

Pineapple Pete vs. Spanish God was pretty good.

[Triple A]

Pineapple Pete

[Emperor Smeat]

:eek: Sammy spoiling the results for his match against Darby.

:eek: AEW got to say "shit" twice this week. Need a shit counter to pop up on the screen like that time South Park did it.

[ClockShot]

I think Excalibur is in the lead with the best background so far with the bookcase.

[slik]

AEW now the #2 trend on Twitter, giving us a reprieve of depressin' release news

[slik]

Sammy G, Britt and Archer all impressing me tonight

[Emperor Smeat]

AEW really went out on getting some notable names from the sports world to hype up this Hager-Moxley match.

Makes the whole thing feel more like a real fight and bring in a sports-like feel that AEW mentioned before as one of their goals for the company.

[Triple A]

What's the Tony Schiavone merch website he just said?

[slik]

Love Jericho so much

[Emperor Smeat]

What's the Tony Schiavone merch website he just said?

Was it something from Pro Wrestling Tees?

Wasn't really paying attention when he mentioned it.

[slik]

AEW now the trend worldwide on Twitter

[ClockShot]

Well that a quick turn of events.

[Emperor Smeat]

Ending was a bit of a mess but Kip vs. Chuckie was pretty good overall.

[slik]

This is a really fun episode so far

[Emperor Smeat]

This is a really fun episode so far

Yeah the in-ring stuff has been generally better than last week and the video/promo stuff has been just as good.

Also been flowing better than last week's show.

[rez]

Next week looks stacked

[slik]

They've done a great job hyping up this main-event tonight between Hager and Mox in a parking lot brawl

[Triple A]

Damn, Daily's Place looks like 982375x better than QT Marshall's gym on TV

[Evil Vito]

Not a bad squash for Spears. He seems better in this small gym environment for whatever reason.

[ClockShot]

Ahhhhhhhhhhhh.

They did this match at Daily's Place. A few weeks ago.

[slik]

I bet Double or Nothing happens at Daly's Place

[rez]

I bet Double or Nothing happens at Daly's Place

hope so

[ClockShot]

This is just weird.

Jumping from one setting to another. I get it.

[slik]

miss jericho on commentary

[ClockShot]

JR as the 1-man show ain't helping much.

And Moxley can ramp this up a bit with a chair or table anytime now.

[Emperor Smeat]

I bet Double or Nothing happens at Daly's Place

Not sure it would be wise to use the same building that the city has been using for coronavirus-related stuff.

Think the Khans also own a couple other buildings in the area due to their ownership of the Jaguars.

[Emperor Smeat]

:lol: at the Wikipedia article for Daily's Place.

Someone didn't realize a "closed set" doesn't mean it has to be in a complexity enclosed area. It just can't be open to the public while tapings are going on.

During the 2020 Coronavirus outbreak, All Elite Wrestling filmed an as yet (as of 08/04/2020) unknown quantity of "Closed Doors" episodes of their "Dynamite" weekly Televised wrestling show, with at least one of the Episodes broadcast live on TNT. One of the episodes, despite being unseen on Camera, was clearly held with the venue uncovered as the Hair of temporary ring announcer Brandi Rhodes could often be seen being blown across her face as she looked into the camera whilst introducing the wrestlers.

[slik]

AEW now the top trend on Twitter, as deserved

sorry for ur loss Survivor

[Emperor Smeat]

Guess JR didn't get the memo from Jericho on why guard railings still exist in an empty arena show.

[rez]

Ahh...thought it was just the parking lot? nm then.

[rez]

JR solo on commentary is blehhhh

[ClockShot]

I hope this has some crazy ending.

[Emperor Smeat]

This match really hasn't felt like it was worth all the hype done during the show and the 30+ minute time slot it got reserved based on how things have been moving soo far. JR being solo on commentary hasn't really helped either.

Match has been pretty decent at least and not Edge vs. Orton slog of a fight.

[rez]

Well, JR. Why have metal chairs at all? padded plastic would work just fine.

[Evil Vito]

This is way too long.

[erickman]

poor jr has lost it

[slik]

Not sure why they gave this match so much time, Hager is Hager

[ClockShot]

The commercial breaks are nice here. Ain't digging this match.

Probably could have been 15-20 minutes and could have snuck in 1 more match if there was talent available.

[Emperor Smeat]

All these people getting to swear on tv, bleeped or not, and Chuckie T is wondering why he can't fulfill his boyhood dream of getting to say "shit" on tv.

[ClockShot]

It's over.

[Evil Vito]

That main event didn’t really work. Long form matches are not Hager’s forte.

[Emperor Smeat]

Hager vs. Moxley was ok. Could have shaved off like half of its time and it would have been much better instead. Just way too slow paced for an empty arena show.

Was expecting Moxley to get suddenly mugged by someone when he turned around considering how up and close the camera was to him.

Despite the main event, this week's episode was very enjoyable overall and maybe the best empty arena show since the first one by AEW.

[Evil Vito]

I don’t mind Hager in an enforcer role but if Dana White wanted him to go away to MMA Island I wouldn’t object.

[slik]

Hopefully that is the last long match we ever see Hager in

[slik]

Other than the main-event a pretty fun episode this week

[Triple A]

Yeah that match was very boring... Stopped paying attention tbh

[slik]

I think I found Noid's Twitter account since 1) AEW taped a month of shows in Georgia, 2) attacking Tony thanking fans is weird and 3) Bragging about a McMahon paying off corrupt politicians isn't admirable.

[xrodmuc316]

The no crowd hurts the presentation of Moxley maybe more than anybody else. Without a crowd getting into a frenzy at his frantic style, it just falls short.

[slik]

agreed @ xrod

Thought Noid was from NZ or AU?


That dude's podcast definitely sounds American.

[Bad News Gertner]

Wtf are Moxley and Hager doing going 30 plus minutes.

[Evil Vito]

Yeah, that was ill advised. I know they're trying to fill up TV time and the logic was probably "hey we can do a title match and let it eat up half the show" but those just aren't the guys to do that kind of match with.

[Bad News Gertner]

Tell your story in 20 minutes. Anything more is excessive with very few exceptions.

[Ol Dirty Dastard]

I'd say 10 minutes is plenty for those 2.

[Bad News Gertner]

Moxley should be booked in matches like Piper was- short hard hitting wild brawls.

[Ol Dirty Dastard]

lol makes sense. Piper didn't sell either (by the time he was a face in the WWF).

[dronepool]

I'd give Britt Baker's butt a dental exam.


But yeah, AEW was good last night.
