[Volare]

Oh yeah this clusterfuck.

[Lock Jaw]

Just randomly remembered this one Shield match where one of their opponents had an injured eye, and Seth Rollins was just standing on the apron screaming "Don't forget about that eye, Ambrose! Don't forget about that eye!" over and over again.

[Jordan]

I appreciate WWE not doing 5 hour PPV's during this no crowd era. It's smart to have matches built for Raw & Smackdown especially considering the ratings slump. I will watch the show but I am really just looking for the special fx they do in the Eye for an Eye match. If you go through the card you can say that they've at least spent time building each of the matches which feels kind of fresh. And I attribute that to not having such packed card for the PPV's.

[xrodmuc316]

Just randomly remembered this one Shield match where one of their opponents had an injured eye, and Seth Rollins was just standing on the apron screaming "Don't forget about that eye, Ambrose! Don't forget about that eye!" over and over again.

Yeah probably because Ambrose has no ring psychology and just wanted to swivel his arms and have a steel chair pile spot.

[Supreme Olajuwon]

Dang Asuka/Sasha, Rey/Seth, and New Day/Nakamaro could all be barn burners.

[Supreme Olajuwon]

Asuka Sasha should be dream match material. I think there is more than a decent argument that these are the two best female workers in the world. Hope they get a chance to show it.

[xrodmuc316]

So 3 cinematic matches tonight, or did they bump the bar fight match from the PPV?

Nice, wonder if former ref Tim White still has that bar the APA always went to for their fights!

[Emperor Smeat]

Based on the build and card for the show, only really interested for Asuka vs. Sasha and the Swamp Fight.

Swamp Fight's interest is mainly wanting to see how Bray's version of a cinematic match differs from the ones WWE has done.

[Droford]

You should add Rey vs Seth just for the curiosity of how they pull off the eye removal spot

[Emperor Smeat]

Even with the rumored ending for the match, still haven't felt that interested in their feud nor this match.

Plus that's probably going to be the "jumping the shark" moment for WWE cinematic matches.

At least with Bray's cinematic match, any spookiness or potential corny horror moments still fits well or makes perfect sense with his gimmick.

[slik]

Gotta love that the whole color scheme of the show was seemingly built around Jeff Hardy...who is not appearing on the show.

[Triple A]

I guess I'll watch... sighing...

[Jordan]

Trips plz never let to boards close I seriously would have some issues I can't accept any more change in my life since Corona plz thank you.

[Triple A]

I won't.......

[Jordan]

Thank you bro. Now back to the show. This is gonna really stupid but he undercard could bring about some good matches. I'm hopeful that MVP & that other guy have a good match. Also Jeff Hardy is awesome so we are having a HARDY PARTY.

[Emperor Smeat]

That spooky intro video was pretty cool.

[Triple A]

Groaned as soon as Michael Cole started talking... then groaned @ The New Day... in a bad mood... don't really want to watch...

[RP]

What time does AEW come on guys?

[Emperor Smeat]

Don't think I've heard of Dollar General before considering its an advertiser for this show and yet according to Google, one of their stores is apparently nearby where I live.

Do have a Family Dollar store like a block or two away from my house.

[Jordan]

I hate tables match gimmicks. So stupid. It was only good as a gimmick for The Dudleys.

[slik]

Kofi ate that table

[slik]

SHIN looks skinnier

That trust dive Kofi did was really well executed.

[What Would Kevin Do?]

SHinsuke should have brought one of those Japanese tables that never break...

[slik]

Michael Cole calling Kofi ornery is very boomer-y.

[Triple A]

The last interesting thing I remember happening in WWE was that "who attacked Roman Reigns" angle where Reigns and Daniel Bryan confronted Buddy Murphy backstage and stuff... that was cool... made Murphy look cool... feel like that was like a year ago... now nothing happens ever................

[Emperor Smeat]

That might have been one of the weaker opening WWE PPV matches in recent times but that top rope powerbomb through the tables spot was pretty great.

[slik]

OK opener but powerbomb thru table was cool

[Triple A]

I hope Bayley and Sasha have all the gold at the end of the night.

I hope Bayley and Sasha have all the gold at the end of the night.

They better...

They need to have all the main brand belts, and then ultimately end up feuding with each other as they both try to win the NXT title...

[slik]

Since this is a horror-themed ppv wish all the people behind the flexiglass were in zombie makeup and banging on the flexiglass like zombies

That was a year ago, still not sure how it ended, just remember Daniel Bryan yelling at the guy that looked like Erik Rowan lol

[xrodmuc316]

Interesting Sasha took her tag title belt off and put Bayley's Smackdown title around her waist instead.

[slik]

Is Michael Cole going to be on commentary all night bc that is asking a lot after I listened to Josh Matthews on Saturday

[Emperor Smeat]

Meh ending to a pretty good SD Women's title match.

[Jordan]

She is also wearing different gear from Bayley, usually their gear matches colors

Guess Apollo must have failed his recent coronavirus test or something wonky happened with his testing like with Tony Schiavone on AEW this past week.

Were there any pre-show matches?

Rey Mysterio's gear makes it look like he's wearing his underwear outside of his pants Superman style.

[xrodmuc316]

K.O. vs Murphy

[Emperor Smeat]

Were there any pre-show matches?

Kevin Owens vs. Buddy Murphy.

Got announced like an hour or so before the pre-show started.

[xrodmuc316]

I am pretty sure you can't pull an eyeball out with pliers. That would just be an eviscerated mess.

[What Would Kevin Do?]

Seriously... WTF is the end game here?

[What Would Kevin Do?]

After this match we will either have Rey Mystero or Seth Rollns.

[Emperor Smeat]

Wonder if the eye pulling spot in this match is going to have the cartoon comedic "pop" sound effect when it happens.

[xrodmuc316]

HEY! So that is where AEW's tag ropes went.

[Droford]

Seriously... WTF is the end game here?

Reys contract has been up. You do the math

[Droford]

I will laugh if Dominick is brainwashed by Seth to pull his dads eye out

[Triple A]

More interested in this match than any WWE match in months tbh... This is good so far

[Triple A]

lol

[Droford]

lol wut

[xrodmuc316]

Seth puking, nice touch lol

[Triple A]

Tom Phillips: "It's out"

[Droford]

seth barfing sold it more than anything i guess

[Emperor Smeat]

That finish was just as stupid as I thought it would be.

Plus shouldn't the match continue since Rollins didn't actually grab the eyeball yet.

Match itself was very good before that happened.

[Droford]

and rey was never seen again

[What Would Kevin Do?]

The fact that this didn't end with Seth curbstomping a fake eye makes me dissapointed

Minus any blood on the steps of course

[Emperor Smeat]

Was it ever explained why WWE has a fascination with champs almost always coming out first?

Like unless your name is Cena or some other top hand-picked star, WWE has been doing title match entrances backwards for way too long compared to everyone else in wrestling and boxing/MMA.

[Emperor Smeat]

Minus any blood on the steps of course

Maybe that's why they decided against the CGI dangling eyeball finish since that wouldn't have had any blood spilled either.

[Droford]

the network has been pissing me off all night

ridiculous "something went wrong" every like 10 minutes

[Emperor Smeat]

Banks almost screwed up taking that German Suplex spot.

[Emperor Smeat]

This match got sloppy as hell these last couple minutes.

[GD]

What the fuck is Bayley doing :lol:

[Droford]

lol thats not going to stand

[GD]

Looks like Banks is having issues with her weave.

A rare flub by Mike Rome.

[Droford]

lol extreme rules for Dolph only

[GD]

It'd be hilarious if McIntyre just hit the Claymore and won in record time.

[slik]

This is a dumb stipulation

[Droford]

Dolph should have went with make the rules up as we go like the attitude days and also picked a special ref, time keeper and ringside enforcer

[Droford]

Dolph should have every heel in the back come out, 20 on 1 attack

drew couldnt have any help cause theyd get drew dqed

A low blow would be quite effective.

Only Dolph can win..match ends in a double dq

[Emperor Smeat]

Why did Ziggy roll back into the ring when the countout is only for Drew?

Like he only needed to grab on Drew's leg for 2-3 seconds or attack him while he was down and he would have won the title via countout.

[Droford]

network just completely went to shit city

[GD]

I am thoroughly sports entertained.

[What Would Kevin Do?]

This is such a stupid stip... But it's a fun match.

[Jordan]

Fun match and the gimmick of no DQ for one wrestler is a cool idea.

[Droford]

had to switch to my phone just in time to see Dolph eat a claymore

I guess my roku bit the dust or something..ugh

[Jordan]

Wow I can't believe that Drew won! With the odds against him none the less. What a man!

[GD]

lol at McIntyre slapping his thigh in the replay.

[Droford]

Dolph would have won if he used my "no claymores" stipulation..or not probably

[Jordan]

Damn that replay of the claymore was great minus the completely obvious leg slap.

Ziggy probably regrets not adding like another 10 stips for that match.

Swamp Fight wasn't NXT cinematic matches tier bad but easily the weakest main roster one so far.

[teamXtremist]

Didnt bother watching but doubt I missed anything

[Mr. Pierre]

Given the current situation, this was a good show.

-Tables match was a solid opener with a memorable finish.
-Bayley/Nikki was a good match.
-MVP segment was short and fine.
-Seth/Rey was very good. Chicken shit to chicken salad.
-Sasha/Asuka was also very good. The finish was a mess, but I want to think that was by design to have a layup rematch for Summerslam, which sounds good to me.
-Drew/Dolph told a solid story. It’s not easy to create sympathy for a 6’4” 250 lb dude when he’s facing a guy that he towers over. This was good stuff.
-Swamp fight was cheese but Wyatt‘a character(s) has no boundaries, so I was open minded to whatever whackiness the WWE had planned. Hoping the Fiend takes the title.

I appreciate that this show was focused. What I mean by that is the WWE had a plan to elevate a handful of people tonight, and I thought it was effective. Bayley, Sasha, Wyatt, Drew, and Seth all came out better than how they entered the night. Meanwhile they protected other stars such as Asuka and Braun.

This wasn’t a must-see by any stretch, but for a night of wrestling with a few beers, it was definitely fun.

[xrodmuc316]

Damn that replay of the claymore was great minus the completely obvious leg slap.

Somehow WWE is still better than AEW. How is that even possible?

[#1-norm-fan]

It’s not though. Hating AEW is “the thing to do” and I’m not even gonna argue that AEW isn’t fucked at every turn.

But as a stand-alone show, WWE has just about every problem AEW has plus a shitload more that basically amount to “We got the market cornered. We’re bulletproof. Fuck it!”

[Mr. Nerfect]

Hating AEW is not the thing to do, lol.

[Mr. Nerfect]

The WWE has at least conditioned you to expect to be insulted. AEW tells you that it's going to be something different and then insults you any way. Fucking hell, there needs to be something else.

[#1-norm-fan]

How long does AEW have to exist before it gets the privilege of “conditioning you” that WWE gets that excuses its awfulness to some extent?

[#1-norm-fan]

WWE is literally the reason you need “something different” so badly.

According to the Observer, Apollo Crews absence from last night's PPV was coronavirus related.

Meltzer said the reason U.S. Champion Apollo Crews wasn't on the show was due to COVID-19. He didn't say specifically that Crews had tested positive, but alluded to that being the case. He didn't have a a timeline of when Crews is expected to return.

Also seems WWE could potentially get in some trouble with the FCC for faking the "live" tv tag during the Eye for an Eye match since PWI reported that match was taped earlier in the day.

Also revealed that Vince was very hands-on with the layout of the entire match.

The Eye for an Eye match was the only bout from the Performance Center that was not live on last night's Extreme Rules PPV. The match was taped earlier Sunday afternoon with Vince McMahon personally overseeing the proceedings, including picking out the specific weapons that were used in the match. McMahon was very involved with laying out the story of the match itself. Perhaps Vince's involvement explains the vomit as he's certainly not adverse to toilet humor.

[drave]

the ppv was pretty horrible. the fuck even was that "swamp" match?


Even my family member who I keep the sub for was not happy with it. Seemed like a clusterfuck of things that just made you scratch your head in a real "WTF" way. I dunno how to better articulate that.

Where do you encounter this? Honest question, because in every corner of the internet fan bubble I visit, you are called a troll if you don't praise the shit out of them. Seriously. Where is this oasis?

I mean, most wrestling fans don't give a flying fuck AEW exists, but you can't criticize this promotion without a bunch of bitches having a BigCrippyZ at you.

I almost didn’t call you out on this because my previous posts were more important and I didn’t want them skipped and buried by this. But go to a Cornette Twitter thread. That’s your alley. (Not knocking you for it. It’s my alley, too. Jim Cornette is fucking awesome.) It’s normal to just ignore things you don’t like. There’s a huge RABID group of people who don’t like AEW but make it a point to express hate for it at every turn. That’s what I mean when I say it’s “the thing to do”. Shitting on WWE is yesterday. There’s finally something new to shit in and the IWC is rejuvenated.

Is this a reference to my post in the other thread? You forced yourself to ignore my explanation and just skipped to the last part where you “got called names”, didn’t you? Be honest.

[Evil Vito]

I just don't understand why some people on this board seem to take personal offense to anyone liking AEW (or any wrestling show for that matter).

It's fine if you don't like it yourself but I just don't understand getting up on your soapbox and being like "How can any of you people like this? STOP HAVING FUN!"

I point out things I don't like about AEW all the time and no one comes down on me for it. Same with Gertner.

I’ll keep looking, because most general places I find aren’t like this at all. There are actually places that have banned saying anything negative about AEW (I’m not joking).

No one takes offense to anything. Stop being a baby. Your personal narrative for criticism can be your own, but saying “AEW sucks” is no different than saying “WWE sucks.” People are just more fun to rile up about AEW because they genuinely think AEW is good. It’s not.

It’s frustrating, because I have the feeling that this is going to be seen as the best possible shot anyone can ever take at Vince McMahon, so they won’t bother trying in the future. Pretty sure this is handing Vince more power than ever. So yeah, it’s pretty annoying dumb cunts like BigCrippyZ are doing that and then likely to cry about it. But enjoy what you enjoy. You are going to be accused of bad taste though.

Not everything is about you, fuckface.

I can't speak for anybody else, but I've never said anything like that. I post sarcastic responses, like I did to Jordan yesterday for calling out McIntyre for slapping his leg. Unlike others, Jordan took it in stride and had a funny response. There was no "soapbox" speeches or offense taken.

What you are describing is the tone towards WWE, not AEW. I don't recall ever seeing any posts about hoping Tony Khan goes bankrupt or wishing for his death here, just Vince McMahon.

Mostly a rambling, incoherent promo with incredibly shit "acting" for the most part. Pretty bad.

Yeah, WWE's fair game, AEW is not.

I don't mind the Eater of Worlds version of Bray in small doses, but you are right on about a long incoherent promo not cutting it as a main event PPV match. They promited a swamp fight, and gave us a swamp promo with a bit of brawling. They event went with a false finish before The Fiend. I had high hopes for this version of a cinematic match, but it ended up being maybe the 2nd worse one they have done, and that is only because they had a normal NXT match be cinematic for some odd reason.

[xrodmuc316]

100% correct

[Fignuts]

Once again, sitting here waiting for all the persecution to rain down on me for the shit I've talked about AEW.

[Fignuts]

Like, if you don't like AEW and want to be a dick about it, then fine. It's TPWW. You can do that.

But don't sit there and act like a victim. Don't be a pussy. Own it.

There was an entire thread that had to be at least 5 pages long of you calling out a bunch of “Kenny Omega fanboys” for shitting on Seth Rollins for whining about WWE getting unfairly criticized because Omega did the same thing. Most of the interactions were people saying “Okay. No one here is defending Omega though and some of us don’t even like the guy.” And you responding with “Yeah, but what about Omega!?!”

Was that all “sarcasm” too?

[Ol Dirty Dastard]

Actually, it was Dastardly One I was referring to. But to quote you...

I'm not even an AEW fan, you're just a dingbat. You equate this to "I CAN'T MAKE FUN OF AEW."

Gertner is one of my best friends on the board and doesn't like AEW. We both talk shit about it together.

You and Noid are just annoying...deal with it.

Lol, I remember when this forum got their panties in a twist because I said Alexa Bliss wasn't very good. Sensitive fucking bunch here.

[drave]

Wasn't it you who left for a bit over that?

[Mr. Nerfect]

Wasn't it you who left for a bit over that?

Yeah, didn't miss this place, honestly. It's fucking dead here, and there are like two good posters, haha.

[Ol Dirty Dastard]

The point is, you're calling us sensitive when it obviously bothered you (and still bothers you) that we don't celebrate your trash hot-takes.

At the very least, you wish to be placated and coddled. When you'd post 55-page long fantasy booking sequences, we'd all have a laugh and call it a #NoidPost. That was fine because you faced no scrutiny -- since, in fairness, it was all non-sensical, irrelevant drivel.

Then you got too big for your britches, thinking you were anything more than a mark parroting Jim Cornette. Now, "there are only 2 good posters here." My guess is that they're the only 2 posters patting you on the back and telling you that you're a good boy.

Look, it's fine if you want to be forum tough guy with hard-fast opinions. But the least you can do is deal with the pushback without resorting to "this forum that I've been largely obsessed with for over a decade is shit because people don't enjoy my obnoxious personality."

[Ol Dirty Dastard]

Never said you were, nice try though.

You implied my insults were because you criticize AEW. I responded by explaining my insults are strictly to do with you being a dingbat.
