[Droford]

Will there be 25% crowd or no

[Droford]

no

[rez]

weee

[Evil Vito]

Per Tony Khan, all wrestlers and staff present at tonight's tapings including himself were tested for coronavirus prior to entering the building and everybody tested negative.

So while it's nice that there won't be any potentially sick workers performing...that opens up the next criticism which is that they were able to rapidly test that many people in a short period of time despite a national test shortage.

[Droford]

Already bummed out from no Jericho on commentary

[Emperor Smeat]

AEW blowing through all that pyro money they saved up the past few weeks.

[slik]

That venue looks so great on TV

Palm trees and downtown skyline. :y:

[Damian Rey 2.0]

I didn't miss Excalibur but it feels good to hear good ol JR

Supposedly the city has a surplus of tests available which is why UFC went to Jacksonville and AEW went back to their prior emergency home.

Now why they didn't just send those extra tests to other cities and towns in Florida that need it more is another question.

[Droford]

Who is Leroy

[rez]

lol no idea

[slik]

Jim Ross is having fun tonight, much more lively and upbeat JR.

[rez]

Joey got a whole WCW Lionheart Jericho era look going on.

[rez]

Looks like our beloved referee gave in to the complaints about her lipstick.. meh

[rez]

darker shade or something. idk

[Emperor Smeat]

Janela vs. Cody was pretty good.

[Triple A]

Match started off not that good but turned out good...

[slik]

Cody vs Janella I thought would suck but was actually good

[rez]

wondering if we're gonna get a surprise new star introduced tonight...

[Emperor Smeat]

For all their faults with the handling of their women's division, that video package was one of the best things they've done for it so far.

[rez]

besides this gal

[Droford]

That 18 year old should be thankful it's Nyla Rose not Nia jax

[Triple A]

Sounds like they increased the crowd volume, good... seemed too quiet before

[rez]

lol MJF with the mask

[Damian Rey 2.0]

MJF's mask :lol:

[rez]

That 18 year old should be thankful it's Nyla Rose not Nia jax

you can say that again

[Triple A]

Sounds like they increased the crowd volume, good... seemed too quiet before

Oh also MJF is there so maybe just making more noise

[Emperor Smeat]

Nyla channeling her inner Scott Norton with those powerbombs.

[slik]

[teamXtremist]

Aew aew aew!

[rez]

MJF in Tony (or his father's) office?

[rez]

https://i.postimg.cc/P535LWrg/Screenshot-2020-05-06-at-7-27-48-PM.png

such a goood heel.

[Emperor Smeat]

MJF's throne looks a lot better than the goofy one Rollins had a couple weeks ago on RAW.

[Damian Rey 2.0]

MJF segment so good.

[Droford]

MJF in Tony (or his father's) office?

looked like a green screen

[ClockShot]

Got home. Missed Cody/Joey. Which probably wasn't much.

Saw Nyla beat the shit out of a kid.

Should be a good ride for the rest of the show.

[rez]

looked like a green screen

yeah..started thinking that after watching. just figure they have baller skyline views.

[rez]

Is Jacksonville a pretty cool town? I've heard it shat on quite a bit over the years. Ash vs. Evil Dead kinda did.

[ClockShot]

Now Shawn Spears is jumping on the pile on Cody...……...pile?

Ugh.

[slik]

TikTok tapped out

https://i.postimg.cc/K8gHLFZm/Screenshot-2020-05-06-at-7-36-09-PM.png

[Damian Rey 2.0]

Great Shawn Spears promo. Too bad he's a jobber.

[Droford]

Overhealed lol

[Triple A]

Wardlow insanely tanned...

[Damian Rey 2.0]

Kazarian with a quarantine haircut. Looked better with the bald head.

[rez]

pretty early in the night for this match. Have Kaz and Mox ever wrestled?

[slik]

Shawn Spears as a MJF kiss-ass (with a possible gambling problem) is growing on me

[ClockShot]

They let fans in the building?

Or are they crew or something?

[Emperor Smeat]

They let fans in the building?

Or are they crew or something?

Crew and wrestlers. They just have more of them around for this new set of tapings.

[slik]

I wonder who Moxley will face at Double or Nothing

[Emperor Smeat]

pretty early in the night for this match. Have Kaz and Mox ever wrestled?

According to cagematch.net, this is their first ever match against each other.

https://www.cagematch.net/?id=2&nr=3940&page=4&search=frankie

[ClockShot]

Not really digging combat fatigues Jon Moxley.

Would rather see him go back to his G1 gear or just go full on Shield again.

[rez]

Not really digging combat fatigues Jon Moxley.

yeah..he's kinda looking straight outta PUBG

[ClockShot]

An air horn?!

Ahhhhhhh, happy memories.

[slik]

Cool submission move from Kazarian

[Triple A]

Not feeling these long ass Jon Moxley matches tbh...

[Emperor Smeat]

That was a way better match than the one Moxley had against Hager.

[ClockShot]

The Goons.

So, Brodie Lee jumping to the front of the line?

[Triple A]

Moxley vs. Brodie Lee? Hmmm

[Emperor Smeat]

Wonder if SCU regrets never taking up the Dark Order's offer to join.

[ClockShot]

YEAH YEAH YEAH YEAH YEAH YEAH!

Wait, he doesn't do that any more.

But, he should. Always liked that.

[rez]

should have went with the continuity of one of the masked dudes wearing the tie.

[Damian Rey 2.0]

Feel like Brodie needed a good feud before getting fed to Moxley but oh well.

[Evil Vito]

Uno and Grayson basically removed from the Dark Order due to them being stuck in Canada

[rez]

THAT'S MISTER BRODIE LEE, JR

[slik]

Good camera work tonight

https://i.postimg.cc/ryDFDndM/Screenshot-2020-05-06-at-8-02-11-PM.png

[Emperor Smeat]

Not sure hocking a loogie on the wrestling mat counts as following coronavirus health safety precautions.

[Damian Rey 2.0]

JR busting his ass to get Brodie Lee over.

[slik]

This match will be good

https://i.postimg.cc/59D9LBvv/Screenshot-2020-05-06-at-8-05-54-PM.png

[Evil Vito]

Brandi is pure sex

[ClockShot]

ARCHER TIME!

[Emperor Smeat]

So what happened to the 3 missing Dark Order creepers if "10" was out there?

Either someone in the Dark Order forgot how to count or Brodie did some spring cleaning to the group.

[Damian Rey 2.0]

I think Brandi has some upside as an on screen talent but she hasn't found anything that makes her personality click as an on air talent. She doesn't need to be cutting her own promos.

[Damian Rey 2.0]

Oh fuck it's time for everybody to die BAYBAY!

[ClockShot]

Jake The Snake playing it safe. :yes:

[Damian Rey 2.0]

Jesus what an elbow

[Emperor Smeat]

Jake Roberts wearing a mask in the crowd is very smart considering he's in the risky group for the coronavirus.

Right when I post that, he decided to take it off.

[Damian Rey 2.0]

This match doesn't need a commercial break. Should just be Archer destroying Marshall until the ref calls for the bell.

[Damian Rey 2.0]

Jake Roberts wearing a mask in the crowd is very smart considering he's in the risky group for the coronavirus.

Right when I post that, he decided to take it off.

He's.... far away from the action?

[BigCrippyZ]

Honestly, thought that Brandi promo was really solid. Probably the best she’s done so far, in AEW at least, to my knowledge/recollection anyway.

[slik]

Off-Topic but People on Twitter mad about NXT rn because


They changed Gargano's entrance music

Charlotte of course defeated Io Shirai

[ClockShot]

A big man like QT shouldn't be doing that springboard off the ropes.

Just looks weird.

[Triple A]

This match is too long... Archer should destroy this freaking jabroni...

[ClockShot]

Jake took a trip to the Everglades.

[Triple A]

Hell yeah

[Emperor Smeat]

:D Roberts bringing out his pet snake.

That snake needs a mini face mask if its not going to respect social distancing.


Off-Topic but People on Twitter mad about NXT rn because

Probably also because something really dumb also happened during the women's title match.

[Damian Rey 2.0]

OMFG this is fucking great!

Also a great ddt by Britt, who looks to have a possible easy win at Double or Nothing.

Jake is still so damn good.

[BigCrippyZ]

Britt great, Jake still as fucking great as he’s always been.

[rez]

HR needs to def bring down fines because that snake obvi was all over that va jay jay area

[rez]

...lucky godamn snake

[Damian Rey 2.0]

That was a great post match segment. I liked that JR explained that the locker room is at the stadium and that's why Cody isn't running out there.

[slik]

That snake segment was great

[Emperor Smeat]

Either AEW finally realized their casino rules for a Battle Royal match made it way too awkward or still can't put that many people in the ring even with Florida relaxing their rules.

[rez]

Tazz as a manager for darby would be interesting

[Damian Rey 2.0]

Pineapple Pete!

[Damian Rey 2.0]

That damn air horn is so good lol

[Emperor Smeat]

Suge D going all in on the Pineapple Pete stuff is probably the best thing to ever happen to his career.

[Triple A]

Love the Jericho / Pineapple Pete feud

[Evil Vito]

I’m all for Sugar Dunkerton getting hired

[rez]

Vince and his mental breakdown should have at least stolen the heel/face crowd idea. It makes all the fucking difference.

His "sport entertainers" are a different story.

[ClockShot]

Posting from the phone.

Just lost cable and internet through Comcast.

[slik]

I'm glad Matt Hardy changed his gear

[slik]

Jericho vs Pineapple Pete next week!

[Triple A]

I miss Jericho on commentary

[Triple A]

Hardy seems a lot faster than he was in WWE, where it seemed like he could barely walk

[Emperor Smeat]

So did Matt Hardy raid Jericho's locker?

He's wearing the same leather pants as Jericho.

[Damian Rey 2.0]

Love that Guevara and Omega are in jeans

[Damian Rey 2.0]

Matt Hardy changed clothes lol

[Emperor Smeat]

Either Matt ripped his pants or there has always been a third Hardy Boy that nobody ever knew about before who looks exactly like Matt.

[slik]

Did Matt Hardy just change his gear mid-match

What on Earth lol

[Triple A]

Jericho yelling "Look at that idiot Pineapple Pete!" is in my head

[rez]

I wonder if Hangman is gonna come out

[Emperor Smeat]

Nice of Jericho to give Hardy a bag of ice to tend to his wound.

Also there are a ton of people at Daily's place going by these backstage shots.

[Emperor Smeat]

Not sure who got it worse from that suplex, Jericho or Omega.

[Damian Rey 2.0]

This is a fun brawl so far.

Lol at JR being floored at Jericho v pineapple Pete

[Emperor Smeat]

:lol: at Matt changing his clothes in an ice bin.

[Damian Rey 2.0]

Hardy with another outfit change

[Emperor Smeat]

:lol: at Santana peeking from the corner for his cue to come out.

[Triple A]

damn @ Omega moonsault

[Triple A]

This is v entertaining

[Damian Rey 2.0]

That was very good. Guevara getting hit by the cart was a great spot.

[Emperor Smeat]

Street Fight was great.

This week's episode might have been the best one of these empty arena shows by AEW. Only real weak point was the Archer vs. QT match.

[rockman725]

As much as I hate to say it, AEW is winning the Coronavirus Era.

[Triple A]

Great show . . .

[Triple A]

Guevara is great

[slik]

That was fucking great, loved it

[Evil Vito]

Not sure what I was expecting from this street fight but it absolutely wasn't Matt Hardy doing full costume changes mid-match and Sammy Guevara getting hit by a golf cart.

That was fun.

[rez]

I woulda liked to seen them take it out onto the football field but i'd imagine it's getting worked on. I'm too lazy to look up if it's natural grass or turf..either or a good time to maintenance

[rez]

now that i think aboot it it's separate venues but questioning how they used the area between and inside what i'd think would be considered part of the stadium.

[xrodmuc316]

Matt Hardy in normal matches just kills his aura. Doesn't help that JR is bringing up TLC matches from 18 years ago either.

Best thing of the night was the Snake on Brandy. 35 years later and that is still so damn effective.

[Triple A]

Matt Hardy in normal matches just kills his aura. Doesn't help that JR is bringing up TLC matches from 18 years ago either.

I think the idea is that he was going in and out of his different characters during the match. He was doing "team extreme" Hardys stuff early in the match like the Twist of Fate and jumping off of the ladder and stuff

[rez]

plus WWE wrote them off from the best ladder and chair moments in WWE history.

[Triple A]

Next week:

– Kenny Omega & Broken Matt Hardy vs. Santana & Ortiz

– Chris Jericho vs. Pineapple Pete (Suge D)

– Hikaru Shida vs. Penelope Ford vs. Britt Baker vs. Kris Statlander

– Brodie Lee vs. Christopher Daniels

– Jungle Boy & Luchasaurus vs. Best Friends

– MJF will be in action

– Interview with Jake Roberts and Lance Archer

[BigCrippyZ]

I think the idea is that he was going in and out of his different characters during the match. He was doing "team extreme" Hardys stuff early in the match like the Twist of Fate and jumping off of the ladder and stuff

Exactly. The idea is the guy is suffering from schizophrenia, or at least has two personalities, basically he's fucking crazy.

[Mr. Nerfect]

Brodie Lee is WCW Jeff Jarrett.

[Tom Guycott]

So what happened to the 3 missing Dark Order creepers if "10" was out there?

Either someone in the Dark Order forgot how to count or Brodie did some spring cleaning to the group.
