[Triple A]

Interesting that they aren't doing this match on a PPV

[Emperor Smeat]

Apparently Moxley's mystery opponent for tonight's show got accidentally spoiled earlier today by the person he's facing.

Jon Moxley vs. Penta

[slik]

starks and darby both hot

[Emperor Smeat]

Yikes at the thud sound Darby made to the outside. Starks just chucked him right to the ground.

[Triple A]

Sounds like they fixed the fake crowd noise loop... doesn't sound nearly as grating... Thank God...

[Emperor Smeat]

Starks vs. Allin was very good. Much better opener than last week's show.

[slik]

also two of my favorites in aew

[Emperor Smeat]

That suit Cody is wearing looks really nice.

[slik]

really fun opener

[slik]

hell yeah emo cody up next

[slik]

Dasha here to interview 1970's John Travolta meets 2000's punk band Cody

[Triple A]

Sounds like they fixed the fake crowd noise loop... doesn't sound nearly as grating... Thank God...

Nevermind it's back,

,

[Emperor Smeat]

Cody channeling his inner John Cena with that sudden bout of rage to end his promo.

Promo itself was decent.

:lol: at a random brawl breaking out at ringside.

[slik]

red hot first 30 minutes

[rez]

Meltzer name drop lol

Poor Tony :(

[ClockShot]

Got home. Caught the Dark Cody promo and brawl.

As usual, missed what sounds like another killer opening match.

[slik]

Nooo leave Tony alone

[Emperor Smeat]

:lol: at Tony getting superkicked outta nowhere.

Guess Young Bucks don't like money anymore since that's probably another $5k down the tubes.

[Evil Vito]

Great start to this show

[slik]

I have never seen Tony take a bump before

[Emperor Smeat]

The way Spears said his lines was a lot more creepy than it probably should have been.

Probably going to end up shanking SCU soon.

Hope this match doesn't go the full 20 mins... don't feel like watching this... don't care about SCU whatsoever

[slik]

trending at number 3 already on twitter

[ClockShot]

FUCK YES! PRIMAL RETURNS!

[slik]

I always like the cover of 'Go Your Own Way' in this random xfinity commercial that always airs during dynamite

[Emperor Smeat]

Hope this match doesn't go the full 20 mins... don't feel like watching this... don't care about SCU whatsoever

Would be a big mistake if they did that since its way too early into FTR's match stip to do the time limit draw or even seriously tease it.

Should be something that gets gradually built up over time until it finally happens.

[Emperor Smeat]

That's like the second time Excaibur's voice randomly changed during the middle of a match.

Wonder if that was a post-production insert of his line.

[Emperor Smeat]

SCU vs. FTR got really good near the end although the match itself could have been a bit shorter in length.

[slik]

8-man tourney idea is good

[Emperor Smeat]

Wonder if Matt Hardy's pairing with Private Party is meant to be a callback by Hardy to the time when Michael Hayes managed the Hardy Boyz early in their WWE careers.

Freebirds were a very popular team during Hayes wrestling days and him managing the Hardys was like an endorsement of them being the next big tag team in wrestling.

[Emperor Smeat]

Either Excalibur is having mic issues or he's holding his nose for some unknown reason for some of these match calls by him.

[Triple A]

Freebirds were a very popular team during Hayes wrestling days and him managing the Hardys was like an endorsement of them being the next big tag team in wrestling.

Feel like they might turn on him and reveal themselves as the ones who attacked him before

[Emperor Smeat]

Kassidy vs. Jericho was very good.

Feel like they might turn on him and reveal themselves as the ones who attacked him before

That would be very interesting and maybe the big spark in direction Private Party needs.

[Triple A]

idk about these Miro skits...

[rez]

hahah love the arcade segment. Billy Mitchell

[Emperor Smeat]

:eek: at Billy Mitchell showing up on AEW.

:lol: at OC's "weenies" line.

[slik]

Ohhh that is the guy from KING of KONG, really good documentary, he's a great IRL heel

[Emperor Smeat]

:lol: at John Silver

[Emperor Smeat]

Ohhh that is the guy from KING of KONG, really good documentary, he's a great IRL heel

Yeup.

Also was involved in a big cheating controversy a couple years ago regarding his arcade records but that eventually turned out to not be the case and damaged the rep of the company in charge of arcade gaming records for making the false accusations.

[Triple A]

crowd noise unbearable

sucks so much

[Triple A]

MJF and Jericho incredible as usual

[Triple A]

Best part of the show again

[Emperor Smeat]

MJF and Jericho segment was great.

[rez]

SAMMY BETTER GET HIS JACKET

[slik]

The MJF/Jericho frenemy plot is my favorite storyline in all of AEW right now.

[slik]

nxt trending at 29 and aew in the top 5...just move nxt to Tuesday...

[Triple A]

beautiful.....

[Emperor Smeat]

Okay now I'm laughing at the amount of times Excalibur's voice randomly changed during this show.

Literally sounds like he's holding his nose while speaking.

[Emperor Smeat]

Baker vs. Velvet was decent.

[Emperor Smeat]

Hobbs vs. Cage for the FTW belt next week should be very good.

[Emperor Smeat]

Butcher being the mystery opponent is bit of a bummer based on the online tease earlier by Penta of him being the person.

[slik]

Let's go Butcher

[slik]

Dictator John deserves to lose 2nite baybay

[Evil Vito]

Jericho and Luther facing off on Jericho’s 30th anniversary celebration is neat.

Short of getting Lance Storm in for one more match it’s the closest you can get to him facing one of his first ever opponents.

[Triple A]

Didn't really like this show tbh...

Jericho and MJF thing was the best, but other than that, was just "ok" imo...

[Emperor Smeat]

Did the Butcher rip a tiny hole in the back of his pants?

Moxley vs. Butcher was very good.

This week's show was very enjoyable overall and was better than last week's show. Only real negative was the weird issues with Excalibur's mic throughout the show.

[Triple A]

Sucks that they had to scrap whatever buildup they had planned for Moxley and Archer

[slik]

wish archer would return and destroy moxley 4ever

[slik]

ricky starks so hot

[xrodmuc316]

Pretty boring episode I thought. And before anybody gets mad, NXT was pretty boring tonight as well.

[Damian Rey 2.0]

Liked the brawl between Cody and Brodie Lee. I hate the Young Bucks. Why are they heels? FTR are heels. Really fucking good ones. Why are the Bucks going heel when there is gonna be a need for a face team to near FTR and them being heels kills a feud with other/better heels? I don't get it.

[Jordan]

I am not impressed. AEW starting to not matter to me.

[Evil Vito]

I enjoyed it. A year of Dynamite in the books and only a few clunkers (most of which were still at least watchable and course-corrected by the next week).

This tourney is gonna produce some bangers.

[Damian Rey 2.0]

Hangman's reaction to Kenny being in the tournament was great.
