I kinda of wish the show was two hours but regardless I'm looking forward to it. Just want to point out that just after the Feugo Del Sol vs Miro TNT Championship match was announced on Dynamite that they had Dark/Elevation results in a scroll at the bottom of the screen which said that Feugo Del Sol had lost his match that week. So the guy loses a match on the job show and then gets a TNT Championship match on the debut of the new major show? Stupid, why isn't Miro facing someone that anyone gives a shit about?

It’s an open challenge so whoever answers the bell gets the shot. The show is only an hour, and has two bigger headline matches booked, so a shorter match meant to feature one their main event player works fine. Del Sol is somehow over, so getting him TV time is a good thing, and feeding him to Miro is even better. And they don’t seem to have anybody built up enough to realistically challenge Miro yet and are probably saving that for the PPV. I wouldn’t be stunned if we find out what direction Miro is headed for All Out.

I could honestly see them saving him for Danielson. Don’t know if or how much they mixed it up in WWE, and that’s a big time program for a belt they obvs present as close to equal to their World title.

I’m A ok seeing Miro feast on a jobber.

I respect and understand your opinion but let me tell you why you're wrong. Miro wasn't a planned hiring, nobody saw that coming and when he debuted they really had no plan for him. So for months Miro toiled alongside Kip Sabian, who is terrible. Working a terrible best man gimmick that attempted to convince us that Sabian was a star but he's not. Sabian is a poor mans Zack Sabre and I mean not even qualified for unemployment benefits poor.

Sure AEW has done a decent job of rehabilitating Miro and have allowed him to channel his inner Bolo Yeung at times, but still he's not being used to his maximum potential. His feud with Best Friends is the most notable thing that he's done in AEW and that's why he should probably be wrestling Orange Cassidy tonight or even Chuck Taylor or Wheeler Yuta. Now, maybe they've had a blow off for that feud but honestly I don't remember if they did and if they did it probably wasn't that memorable because I don't remember.

I think it's time to make some actual stars that can pop a rating when AEW has to go head to head with The Challenge and in my opinion putting Miro over tiny little flip floppers is just telling us something we already know and can see by looking at the man, he's a beast. Why not have him working a program with someone who is actually exceptional in the ring? One of my issues with AEW is that in protecting certain guys they are having to pull their punches on a lot of TV matches and give us "highly contested squash matches". Let's not pretend that Feugo has any business in the ring with Miro.

Miro has a multitude of guys he can work great programs with from Darby, Death Triangle, Kingston, Archer, OC, Andrade, Cody and more. Let's get some good shit moving for Miro, I feel like we've been pulling punches the whole time TONY (if you're reading).

It’s a one hour show, they have two other matches booked, and they don’t Miro to go out there and have a barn burner to get him over our showcase him. That’s all this match is. Just a showcase for Miro. I agree the pairing with Sabian was the shits and the payoff to that was the arcade match thankfully.

I would be floored if they weren’t preparing a bigger match for Miro at the PPV. Having a showcase match to destroy people is a formula that got him over the first time in WWE and it’s getting him over now. He doesn’t need a big match every time out. It’s ok to feed popular jobbers to him while you save the big matches for bigger shows that aren’t already headlines or a PPV.

I will watch Miro squashes all day everyday. Also, we are not making anywhere near a big enough deal that Miro is cutting one of the best promos in the business in his second fucking language. Put Miro on my screen and I’m watching. Period.

Damian Rey 2.0
08-13-2021, 09:44 PM
Let’s also not forget how shredded he’s looking. Had a bruiser type of body when he debuted and now he looks like a star and wrestled like one. Ever since they moved him away from Sabian he’s been booked perfectly.

With four announcers there's always someone trying to speak at every single point. Part of being a good announcer is letting certain moments speak for themselves

They're treating it as if they're on the radio and are desperate to avoid any dead air.

Sepholio
08-13-2021, 10:13 PM
Also agree that a 4 man announce team is massive overkill. I could see it for a major show maybe. But not a 1hr weekly show. 2 guys is all they need. Wight and either Jericho or Excalibur. Henry wouldn't be terrible as a choice either.

Hope AEW steals Heyman away one day and makes him a commentator. Would love having him be the heel guy in the booth every week.

I don't disagree. Maybe have some slightly edgier content on that show or something. Definitely run it after though. Don't want that running head to head with hour 2 of SD.

Edit: by edgier I mean things like no restriction on the number of curse words so you know who can finally get it on the action again and say the word he's been itching to say forever. Little bit of blood and stuff. Nothing wild or anything.

This crowd might be the hottest hometown crowd I can remember in recent history.

Britt is insanely more over than the last time she was in Pittsburg as a crappy plucky babyface.

Punk on Instagram talking about Friday the 13th, the Final Chapter ROH show, and closing the post by saying "nothing's over 'till you're underground".

Aka the words tattooed on Darby’s chest

Fuck I can’t wait for next week

Jeeeez next Friday is gonna be insane.


PS Red needs a different finisher. The overdrive sucks.

This Arby's commercial is dumb that acts like Avocado and Chili-Lime are something 'new' and 'wild'.

I think they'd probably have taped before Rampage went live. 10pm start time is pretty late other wise. If the ticketed bell time was 8pm then they probably taped Dark or Elevation or both.

Was kinda weird how Baker was a clear face and Velvet was a clear heel for the whole match but then afterwards, they had Baker revert to being the heel... I think it's fine though since she's "actually" a heel...

Still a sweet ass show
