Huh. The bald look might work for Jericho. This doesn’t look strange at all.

Wouldn’t be all that surprised if he lost and this led to another “reinvention”.

Seems kinda weird to give Ortiz that rub though.

[Jordan]

Show is about to begin, I am locked and loaded!

[Jordan]

Oh nice BALD MATCH to kick off! Let's go Ortiz, I'm on board with Bald Jericho!

[rez]

'Hur we go

[Jordan]

Vodka Sauce pizza.

[rez]

Go Bolts. Go AEW. Go Little Caesar's - the new OFFICIAL sponsor of the NFL and already was for the NHL. Out PIzza Pizzza the Hut

[Triple A]

Home, missed the first 8 mins

[slik]

just tuning in, anything wild in the first 10 min

[Triple A]

Why is Regal on commentary

[slik]

Vodka Sauce pizza.

I keep hearing Hot Honey on pizza is good, have u tried it

[Triple A]

Vodka Sauce pizza.

Got some Egyptian food called "feteer" which is basically a mix between a pizza and quesadilla... good

[Triple A]

Loaded Dynamite card tonight!!!

[rez]

SAMMY!

[slik]

[erickman]

i knew j was not going to lose his hair

[Triple A]

nice... Guevara is better with Jericho, was floundering on his own

[xrodmuc316]

Great, just what JAS needs, Tay Marlee Matlin Conti getting more mic time

[Jordan]

Good move with Sammy joining JAS.

[slik]

Sammy back with Jericho is the right step

[rez]

nice... Guevara is better with Jericho, was floundering on his own

Truth...so good together, tho

[Triple A]

love dumb stuff like this in wrestling

[weather vane]

New WARDLOW theme.

[erickman]

wordlow wordlow wordlow

[Triple A]

still a horrible theme

[xrodmuc316]

If Wardlow's record going to get 20 more Wins after he kills all these jabronies?

[weather vane]

Just crushed jerk chicken, rice, and coleslaw from my local Jamaican place. Needed it. Bad day.

[rez]

wtf is this shit

[weather vane]

Peoples Court. Unreal.

[xrodmuc316]

LOL 2 guys got eliminated with 0 shoulders on the mat, on their stomachs lol

[Triple A]

Shoulders not on the mat!

[Triple A]

Think Dasha "messed up the call" saying the first 5 guys were eliminated by being knocked off the apron...

[rez]

Scratch the mid atlantic title shit.....they shoulda did a Hobbs, Wardlow, Archer wrecking crew for the 3 man tag championship.

[Jordan]

This is okay I guess, IDK I don't like it.

[Triple A]

Think Dasha "messed up the call" saying the first 5 guys were eliminated by being knocked off the apron...

or I guess not...

[rez]

Sub Hobbs for Miro whatever

[slik]

That was a mess

[xrodmuc316]

Cleveland and St Louis, both midwest lol

[rez]

Cleveland and St Louis, both midwest lol

:rofl::lol: yeah, I chuckled

[rez]

It's technically correct by the definition but ehhh

[Triple A]

This should be sweet

[Jordan]

This should be willy good!

[BigCrippyZ]

Yeah. Fuck definitions. Fucking morons.

[weather vane]

Agreeeeed

[Triple A]

Feel like all white guys from NJPW wear that same type of coat

[xrodmuc316]

Will Ass Spray :rofl:

[slik]

St Louis crowd hot for Will Ospreay

[Jordan]

Ospreay needs to be in AEW soon! He's so good. This was a good match idea Tony!

[Jordan]

LOL @ Excalibur NJPWjerking on AEW explaining IWGP

[slik]

damn at dax knee

[Triple A]

LOL @ Excalibur NJPWjerking on AEW explaining IWGP

Glad he is trying to explain stuff though

[slik]

picturing triple a cracking open a natty light and wearing a bullet club shirt

[Triple A]

nice @ that last German suplex...

[rez]

picturing triple a cracking open a natty light and wearing a bullet club shirt

Nah

Jamba Juice and 2 slices of Sbarro.

[slik]

hoping paul wight comes out wearing an njpw shirt, revealing he has switched sides, and then chokeslams JR thru the announce table

[Triple A]

Sweet match!!

[rez]

Oh damn!

[rez]

oh damn x9000

[Supreme Olajuwon]

Right I’m here :D

What did I miss

[rez]

I missed that man and the best entrance song in the game

[slik]

Orange Cassiday vs Will Ospreay would be a really fun match

[ClockShot]

Got home. Just caught the start of Ospreay/Harwood. Great stuff.

[Triple A]

Crowd goes wild for massive superstar Orange Cassidy...

[slik]

Right I’m here :D

What did I miss

santana bald via sammy joining JAS

wardlow beat up 20 people (was a mess)

Ospreay vs Dax was good

[rez]

Sucks AEW is going against the Stanley Cup Final g1

[Triple A]

worried about this segment, hate Moxley's promos tbh... everything feels really forced 2 me

[ClockShot]

GO ACE!

[rez]

worried about this segment, hate Moxley's promos tbh... everything feels really forced 2 me

probably your stomach after all that greasy pizza

[Triple A]

probably your stomach after all that greasy pizza

only had 2 small slices... still kinda hungry but don't feel like dying right now...

[Triple A]

always zone out when Moxley talks and don't ever process anything he is saying

[Supreme Olajuwon]

santana bald via sammy joining JAS

wardlow beat up 20 people (was a mess)

Ospreay vs Dax was good

Poops those were the matches I wanted to see.

[ClockShot]

This doesn't need to be a triple threat.

No no no.

[Triple A]

Tay Conti hot...

[ClockShot]

DESPY!

[ClockShot]

That's just creepy, Jericho.

[Triple A]

huh, what's the match?

[Supreme Olajuwon]

Tanahashi very handsome

[Triple A]

Tanahashi huge torso...

[weather vane]

Tanahashi hot.

[rez]

This doesn't need to be a triple threat.

No no no.

There was too much for me to process there while also watching hockey. It didn't end up setting one up in the end, did it?

[rez]

Tanahashi huge torso...

Japanese beer gut

[ClockShot]

There was too much for me to process there while also watching hockey. It didn't end up setting one up in the end, did it?

No.

Just Jericho being inserted into a tag match of sorts for Forbidden Door or before that.

[Triple A]

There was too much for me to process there while also watching hockey. It didn't end up setting one up in the end, did it?

No, main event is still the same... but they set up some other multi man match I think, didn't understand what Jericho was saying

[ClockShot]

Ethan Page ded.

[Supreme Olajuwon]

Ego vs Miro is a very good matchup of two thick handsomes

[Supreme Olajuwon]

Miro working face is intriguing

[Supreme Olajuwon]

Intriguing and handsome. Such is Miro.

[Jordan]

Miro matches in AEW aren't very much better than the ones he had in AEW. I think he would work be at Impact.

[rez]

I wonder if the former employer would have had Bulgarian Miro be a Russian in today's history.

[ClockShot]

Did this ring announcer lock Justin Roberts in a closet?

Get her outta here.

[Triple A]

Should have brought on the ROH announcer...

[weather vane]

Holyyyyyyy

[Supreme Olajuwon]

Holy shit that hip attack looked brutal

[Triple A]

jesus, always feel like Storm gives her opponents a concussion with the ass thing...

[weather vane]

BBDMD so good.

[weather vane]

Wowwww. What an upset.

[Triple A]

Storm Zero also brutal looking...

[Supreme Olajuwon]

Cool

[Supreme Olajuwon]

I saw Willow before. She was cool. Let’s do this.

[slik]

please NO at Adam Cole being to match

[Supreme Olajuwon]

IWGP title looks stupid as hell.

Divas ass title. Get out of here.

[Triple A]

Really glad the Hardys aren't in this match...

[Triple A]

Marko Stunt a way better ally... more high energy instead of Low Energy Christian!!!

[xrodmuc316]

You have to feel bad for Matt Hardy. All that hard work he put in to be able to ride Jeff's coattails, and he ends up getting screwed out of the main event.

[Triple A]

Jesus, still 13 mins left in this match, going at a crazy pace

[Triple A]

still doing crazy spots in the picture in picture...

[Triple A]

oh boy @ tables stacked up outside...

[Supreme Olajuwon]

Young Bucks are the cilantro of pro wrestling

Apparently some people think it’s not good and those people fucking nuts.

[Supreme Olajuwon]

So glad Jeff Hardy is not around the fuck this up

[Triple A]

AEW tables seem more dangerous than WWE ones... always feel like there are hard sturdy sharp corners all over the place when they break... feel like ppl always get cut up on them

[slik]

I think 75,000 tables have been broken during this match

[Triple A]

oh god was worried they would fall off the ladder to the tables...

[Triple A]

jeez

[Triple A]

Young Bucks winning...

[Supreme Olajuwon]

Whooo extremely relieved at clean table spot for Luchasaurus

[Triple A]

yesss, finally

[Triple A]

Sick son of a bitch!!!

[weather vane]

Heel Christian so good.

[Supreme Olajuwon]

Captain Charisma is back!

[Supreme Olajuwon]

Great main event segment. Again, so glad the Hardys didn’t get in the way.

[slik]

BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO @ bucks having the titles again

[slik]

yay @ heel christian tho

[rez]

Too bad Edge is lost somewhere else

[Triple A]

3 new matches were announced for Forbidden Door during Dynamite btw:

IWGP United States Championship: Will Ospreay (c) vs. Orange Cassidy

AEW Women's World Championship: Thunder Rosa (c) vs. Toni Storm

Six Man Match: Chris Jericho, Sammy Guevara & Minoru Suzuki vs. Eddie Kingston, Wheeler Yuta & Shota Umino

I don't get the point of Storm vs Rosa on Forbidden Door, they are both AEW, what is forbidden about that?

[DrA]

Good show tonight. I’m not a fan of Ortiz losing the hair match and the way it perpetuates the idea that a white man’s hair is of more value than a Mexican’s, or whatever the hell he is, but other than that good show, Tanahashi and so on.

I don't get the point of Storm vs Rosa on Forbidden Door, they are both AEW, what is forbidden about that?

They probably have to have women on the show to meet representation requirements. New Japan might also want something because ideally they’d like women to be featured to help them expand, but their fanbase is reticent to the idea.

Holy fucking idiots at Ospreay vs. Cassidy. And none of the matches actually grab my attention or make me want to see them.

[Jordan]

If you didn't know the two guys who Lambert sent in for Wardlow were former UFC Welterweight Champions Tyron Woodley and UFC Hall of Famer Matt Hughes. The guys struggling to walk was Hughes who several years ago was hit by a train in his car and should have died. His recovery is a miracle.

Not that he had anyplace on the show but it was good to see him happy, he was loving it.

[Fignuts]

Im sure Ospreay vs Cassidy will be fine as a match, but jesus what a waste. With all the talent you have that could have serious bangers with Ospreay, you pick him?

Rosa vs Storm is odd too. Would have been cool to see someone from Stardom come in, since its owned by the same parent company as NJPW. They could have at least gotten someone from TJP, since they have the new deal with DDT. Miyu Yamashita vs Rosa could have been good.

[Jordan]

I wasn't disappointed with OC against Ospreay. That will be a great match. I'd much rather have seen Ospreay challenge Kenny Omega but that wasn't in the cards.

[Jordan]

The 6-man they alluded to with Jericho and Kingston didn't make any sense to me.

[Jordan]

Jericho said he thought he was going to get the spot that Mox got but he's good with it. He said Blood and Guts is three days after the PPV so whatever happens at the PPV with him has to lead to blood and guts so the multiman makes sense.

But my thing is that its AEW, it doesn't have to make sense. We should be getting something better for Jericho and Kingston who is obsessed with Japanese wrestling.

[Mr. Nerfect]

OC is the fucking shits. Gimmick aside. They’re probably going to try and shift him into “someone who gives a shit” now, because the joke buried everyone. But the guy’s actual work — how he puts one foot in front of the other — just sucks.

You could have chosen anybody. But hey, New Japan is in on this too.

With the women, I can see New Japan wanting AEW to handle that side of things almost exclusively.

[Damian Rey 2.0]

Kingston should be in a stiff fest with Ishii.

I’m glad Toni Storm got a big win. I’m bummed she’ll be eating a big loss a few weeks later.

Dax v Ospreay was the match of the night. But then we’re getting Ospreay v Cassidy and that feels like a waste. We should be bring Ospreay v Darby instead. Ospreay needs a bigger match than a comedy act and him and Darby would be fun.

Get Adam Cole off my screen. And wtf at Okada possibility not showing up? That’s one of the reasons I’m buying the show. Not gonna lie, was hoping we’d hear “ARE YOU READY FOR THIS!?” blare through the arena for the save against Ospreay and co, but alas.

Main event ruled. Crazy pace. Bucks winning leads me to believe they’ll be dropping the belts back to FTR to complete their series.

Heel Christian is going to be fun and it’s going to elevate jungle Jack. Right on time for a match at All Out justt over a year after jungle boy beat Christian and started the run he’s been on since last year.

Way better booking this week.

[slik]

No Okada, Sanada and Sabre would be very disappointing to me, those are the NJPW guys I most enjoy seeing wrestle

[Fignuts]

Ha

I ran Jay White vs Hangman a week ago in fire pro. Fun sim. Hangman won.

[Crippla]

Ha

I ran Jay White vs Hangman a week ago in fire pro. Fun sim. Hangman won.

Are you the one who posted those tpww matches on YouTube?

[Fignuts]

Yep

[Crippla]

Lol I came across those somehow not too long ago and for some reason I had a feeling that it was you

[Fignuts]

So I guess Okada's wife is seven months pregnant. With Japan still taking Covid very seriously, and the U.S. being very lax about it, I can definitely see him being afraid to travel at this moment.

[Fignuts]

No Okada, Sanada and Sabre would be very disappointing to me, those are the NJPW guys I most enjoy seeing wrestle

Sabre called out Danielson after dominion. Heres hoping theres something to that and not just Zack talking about it like KENTA talked about Punk. Would be match of the night, easy.

[Crippla]

Japan is so much smarter and technologically superior to us...it's unreal

[Fox]

That main event is everything that's wrong with the worst of AEW's "top tier talent" like the Young Bucks. There was a broken table spot every 60 seconds, but nobody sold a damn thing, everybody popping back up like it was a scoop slam or a snap suplex, no selling the shit out of the entire gimmick.

It just leads to the entire business getting buried and makes everything mean nothing. Diving elbow drop from the top rope through a table? Both guys back up and fighting in a manner of minutes like nothing happened. Stupid.

Hooray Young Bucks are champions. Who cares? Elevate an entertaining team like the Acclaimed. Give us something worthwhile to care about.

[Mr. Nerfect]

I can’t find myself caring about Ladder Matches anymore. Can’t someone try and climb the ladder to win? I’m trying to put myself back in 2005-2010 when I couldn’t get enough to empathise with people in that spot now. But I just don’t understand how you can’t be desensitized to this stuff now. What about it can be considered “shocking?”

Shelton Benjamin at least changed the game in 2005 when he ran up that ladder in the original Money in the Bank. And the next year when he ran up one to flip outside. And at Mania 24 when he went through the ladder bridge. But now those things have become cliches.

And it extends back to the wrestling in general. It’s governed by these super-obvious tropes that I just can’t believe fans will to work on them.
