Why the Hell are they using the picture from when Adam Cole walked in on Britt and Schiavone in the promotional graphic???

[Supreme Olajuwon]

From all accounts from the fans attending the Rampage taping in my hometown of Cincinnati, Ohio, the consensus regarding whether the PAC vs Andrade match is an all time banger, the answer is:

Yes

I WAS BORN FOR GREATNESS GREATNESS...GREATNESS

[xrodmuc316]

I WAS BORN FOR GREATNESS GREATNESS...GREATNESS

Not entirely sure why it just posted the video, but MJF's comment was:

"Bryan Danielson when he heard his new theme.
Can we fire this moron now🙄"

I think MJF is an even better heel on social media

[Supreme Olajuwon]

I will Stan for AEW over WWE for no other reason than that they don’t zoom in their cameras so close that it makes me want to vomit

[slik]

rampage timeeee

[Evil Vito]

PAC and Andrade already in the ring. Love it. My body is ready for this match.

[Jordan]

Oh boy here we go, no entrances so I guess this is gonna be a long one!

[slik]

big match pac about to teach andrade a lesson

[slik]

You can tell this is taped because Tony is promoting tix for the Long Island show and it sold out this morning when tix went on sale.

[slik]

wish marko stunt would run out right now and make this a triple threat

[Emperor Smeat]

You can tell this is taped because Tony is promoting tix for the Long Island show and it sold out this morning when tix went on sale.

Plus no audio shenanigans to start off a show.

[Supreme Olajuwon]

The start to this match is pretty tits

Let’s keep it going

[Jordan]

These guys both are amazing. Nothing new I know but wow they are a step above most.

[slik]

Is Jack Swagger on the show tonight

[Sepholio]

PAC is the best wrestler in the world. I said what I said.

[slik]

Chavo a damn jezebel for that

[slik]

PAC is the best wrestler in the world. I said what I said.

yeah, PAC is like 'insanely good' at wrestling

[Emperor Smeat]

:lol: at Jose trying to pull a Scott Hall with wanting to shock PAC with a stun gun.

PAC vs. Andrade was great despite the abrupt ending.

Had this been at All Out, would have been the 2nd best match of the night.

[Evil Vito]

It was a neat character beat that Andrade was visibly disappointed about needing to cheat to win and then he just straight-up decked Chavo. That rules, great character wrinkle.

[Triple A]

Ric Flair will be cool as Andrade's manager...

[Jordan]

Really good match as expected. Interesting finish with Chavo getting decked by Andrade. That's good, Chavo wasn't doing him any favors.

[Evil Vito]

Wonder if Chavo is being written off to be replaced by Flair lol

[slik]

time to replace Chavo w Ric Flair

[Triple A]

Taz growing on me with this past Dynamite and so far tonight... Much better as a "slightly heel" commentator since he's a heel manager and it was weird how he would abruptly switch to "super nice guy" commentator... works better this way

[Supreme Olajuwon]

That was very good. Wonder where Andrade goes from here. He’s now ditched his manager twice. Seems directionless.

[Jordan]

PAC is the best wrestler in the world. I said what I said.

yeah, PAC is like 'insanely good' at wrestling

PAC really needs to be on TV more, he could easily be a true main event player. He's just on the cusp right now. In the ring I don't know about THE BEST but he's absolutely in the discussion.

Ric Flair will be cool as Andrade's manager...

Yeah I think that's the way to go with Flair too. Plus it could really elevate Andrade in a way that Chavo couldn't, with a decent promo. Honestly though Flair is a rambler and I hope his promo's are about Andrade instead of himself.

[slik]

Hope Ric Flair unretires and challenges Cody to a match where if he loses Ric Flair must re-retire.

[ron the dial]

Tully dropping babies like this is 86 WCW

[Triple A]

Feel bad for Chavo... wonder if he's "done with AEW" now

[slik]

Would be funny if the feed cut out in the middle of the show and just aired the ending of The Accountant

[Emperor Smeat]

That Adam Cole & Bryan Danielson promo vignette was sweet.

[Evil Vito]

Asssssslander

[Supreme Olajuwon]

Ruby is a perfect fit in Best Friends

[Emperor Smeat]

If Hayter's fluffy jacket was like 2-3x fluffier, it would look just like the comically big jacket Becky Lynch wore on SmackDown tonight.

[slik]

this is good bc it means Hayter did not injure Ruby on Dynamite

[Triple A]

Riho rules...

[ron the dial]

that 619 was dirty

[slik]

Lock Jaw probably will 'furiously masturbate' to Riho later when he watches this ep

[Emperor Smeat]

Guess Baker was legit pissed at Riho for getting hit right on the nose from her dropckick since Baker's reactions afterwards were really awkward.

[slik]

only 15 minutes left to go

[Triple A]

Really like these interview segments before the "main event" each week

[Emperor Smeat]

6-Women's tag was pretty good.


only 15 minutes left to go
Tonight's show feels like its really flown by fast.

[Jordan]

It's been a good show but I much prefer the live episodes.

[Emperor Smeat]

Really like these interview segments before the "main event" each week

Yeah. Mark Henry feels way more comfortable doing these than being in the booth so far.

Its also pretty cool that he's already developed his very own catchphrase for these segments.

[slik]

When Brian Pillman Jr makes a comeback I expect commentary to say he is drawing inner power from the mullet

[slik]

Really like these interview segments before the "main event" each week

same

[Emperor Smeat]

Max Caster getting to keep his pre-match diss raps is nice. :lol: at Bowens referencing Caster being on thin ice over them.

The one he did on AEW Dark this week was great.

[slik]

good ring gear for Pillman

[slik]

googled 'skyline chili'

looks bad

[slik]

sorry supreme...

[Evil Vito]

Caster vs Pillman would normally feel like a weird main event but it makes sense considering they are giving the crowd a hometown boy to close out what was likely a 4+ hour taping.

[slik]

Heenan: Pillman's knee popped out of place, Bowens was trying to pop it back in, he saved his

Monsoon: WILL YOU STOP

[slik]

Wish Linda Pillman would run in and hit a Canadian Destroyer on Max Caster

[ron the dial]

where dafuq is griff

oh moxley

[Jordan]

That match was a lot better than I thought it would be. Both guys looked great.

[Triple A]

where dafuq is griff

oh moxley

Got "injured" by Wardlow on Dynamite

[Jordan]

Mox putting over Pillman was good. Good booking for Pillman the past two episodes. I've been kind of up and down with him wondering if he really has what it takes. I'm not completely sold but he's getting there.

[Emperor Smeat]

Vince probably raging right now at home after AEW booked a hometown star to win their match to make the crowd happy.

Fun show overall this week.

Between SD having a really good show earlier and now Rampage, its been an entertaining night of wrestling so far. Just need NJPW Strong to complete tonight's fun trifecta once I get around to watching it in a little bit.

[slik]

Imagine if one day we got David Benoit vs Brian Pillman Jr

[xrodmuc316]

looks bad

Yeah that Shit looks gross. WAY too many onions and cheese.

[Evil Vito]

The outcome of Pillman's match against MJF at Arthur Ashe is a foregone conclusion but giving him a main event TV win ahead of it helps build him up. Good show.

[Lock Jaw]

Going to start watching this now I guess

[Lock Jaw]

Never mind, I guess I didn't set my DVR to record it, and it isn't up "on demand" yet....

[Lock Jaw]

Pretty tired anyways...

[Lock Jaw]

Starting to watch now....

[Lock Jaw]

Damn at skipping Andrade and PAC entrances.... entrances are half the point of rassling....

[Lock Jaw]

Confused.... is "The Bastard" PAC a face... Andrade a heel, and PAC aligned with Lucha Bros who are face...... but PAC still looking like and acting like a heel... and still with the heel nickname....

[Lock Jaw]

K, Andrade clearly working heel and PAC working face....

[Lock Jaw]

Best corner stomp I have seen by Andrade... actually holding the person up instead of the person holding themselves up for some reason...

[Lock Jaw]

Small "fight forever" chant... probably my most hated chant ever now.... I remember the first time I heard it was Zayn vs Nakamura and it was cool then. Like "wow, what a match"..... but now the fans will chant it for like whatever and not even "well into the match" but like under 10 minutes in.....

[Lock Jaw]

Went for the stomp again and this time PAC clearly holding himself up.... but did the logical counter of letting himself drop....

[Lock Jaw]

Pretty much missing the pivotal camera shot of Chavo hitting PAC.....

Was a good match.... kind of a "weak" ending... should have been a "stronger weapon"....

[Lock Jaw]

Damn, Andrade turning on Chavo...... wish Zelina Vega had come over with him....

[Lock Jaw]

Rings of Saturn such a good move.....

[Lock Jaw]

Darby calling Shawn Spears generic.... he ain't wrong....

[Lock Jaw]

Nice one at that jump from behind... just quietly pulling him out of the ring behind Sting's back...

[Lock Jaw]

Adam Cole a lot better at talking than Kenny Omega....

[Lock Jaw]

Wish D-Bry had longer hair....

[Lock Jaw]

Britt Baker and Ruby Soho with good entrance themes.....

[Lock Jaw]

Riho with the double stomp from Statlander's shoulders.... nice..... although she is so tiny it still looks like it wouldn't actually hurt much

[Lock Jaw]

Second time Ruby has won with her terrible finishing move and second time commentators haven't really called it....

[Lock Jaw]

Pillman doesn't seem "that good".... heel should win this match...

[Triple A]

Ya he's not great... was fine to push him on the show for the hometown crowd though

[Lock Jaw]

Pillman wins.... damn... Max Caster seems "more talented".... ok, post match beatdown... still getting the last laugh...

[Lock Jaw]

Oh wait... here comes Mox..... what is going on... letting the hometown boys have a moment... don't they know you are supposed to job out and embarrass the hometown boys?

[Tom Guycott]

Oh wait... here comes Mox..... what is going on... letting the hometown boys have a moment... don't they know you are supposed to job out and embarrass the hometown boys?

Tony Khan goes mad with power; starts a "club". Makes JR join this "club" when AEW goes to Oklahoma...
