This sounds like a horrible show. “Triple or Nothing?” Jake Hager in a major match? Wardlow vs. Orange Cassidy? Hearing from Jericho? Anna Jay vs. Serena? World Title Eliminator? Steaming garbage.

Where is MJF

I’m at the point now where I think he legitimately wants out again. The story makes no sense. I wonder if they just put him on TV to air that stuff to get ahead of it and so he fired those shots on AEW and not somewhere else.

Fyter Fest used to really mean something! AEW need's a small boost forward right now. The shows have been good lately but not excellent. I'm hoping that the tag team title match is full of PWG crazy shit but I really want to see Hobbs and Starks highlighted, not win necessary but be highlighted big. Both are really good and have improved so much lately.

Hager/Claudio could be good, but lets be honest, Hager hasn't had any good matches in his career so it's not likely because he really sucks.

Look's like Mox is back to carry this goddamn company on his back again and also to bring some violence and Take a Shit a.

Jordan

Just want to go ahead and pre-praise The Young Bucks for providing an ambitious match that met every standard and exceeded all expectations.

Jordan
07-13-2022, 07:00 PM
Without Cody and with Kenny injured it's really on The Buck's to be the home team guys at all time. What I mean is, they are the foundation. Same with Jericho to an extent but the Bucks are VP's. Plus the fandom that they created is what AEW really is.

It would make financial and creative sense is House of Black became a porn production company where the guys Malakai, Brody and Buddy all try to seduce the women of AEW to do their porno's with them. And they really do the porno's with the girls they turn. They get a website and the AEW fan's and others will pay ton's of money for these porno's. This angle and business can go on and profit for many years. House of Black productions. Kind of a rift on the Rob Black stuff know what I'm sayin? It's scumbag shit. Heel snake ass stuff.

Wish they would have done it in Queens this year!! Would have been much better to go to a Saturday show instead of a Wed one!

Hai there, Seph McClure with a live report.

Nah jk not gonna spoilerize other things but just wanted to let you know Keith Lee is fine, he stayed out after Dynamite and explained the situation that was making the rounds on the internet earlier. One of his best friends that hes known since they were kids got diagnosed with stage 4 cancer. He dedicated the match to him afterwards.

Rampage is really sweet this week, def worth a watch.

Tony sent Hookhausen after everything went off the air to end the evening. Was so awesome. Also Justin Roberts is awesome in person. Love that guy. He was very engaging with the crowd between segments and did lots of fun things. Rampage was actually delayed for like 10 mins because he started announcing for a random rock paper scissors tournament in the crowd and even had Aubrey come out and officiate it lol. At some point he was like OH YEAH IM SUPPOSED TO BE STARTING RAMPAGE haha. Good shit.

Sepholio
07-14-2022, 01:03 AM
I tell you what though...the merch stand SUCKED BALLS tonight. They only had like 6 or 7 shirts and they were not the best. They had a decent Danhausen one and an OK one for FTR, but then it was like one of a picture of the whole roster, one that says "I was there!", a plain BCC shirt, and an adam cole shirt with the tiniest logo ever in the center. That's it. That and a bunch of action figures. It was terrible, they must not have wanted to move merch at all tonight. I got my kid a Danhausen shirt but I was intending to spend a lot more in there tonight if it had been a better spread.

I hope they don't have MJF lose to Moxley... should wait for CM Punk to come back and have MJF beat him for the title instead

Thread dredge quote, im hoping Punk beats Mox, MJF Beats Punk, Wardlow beats MJF.

Thoughts after watching this morning:

-I was worried about Wardlow vs. OC on paper but they ended up booking it brilliantly. The only way they could've done that match without it being a squash would be for OC to try to use his quickness to force a mistake and they did just that. I popped huge for Wardlow ripping out the pockets. Say what you will about "false finishes" or whatever but people rarely kick out of the actual finishing move in AEW, so was cool to see Wardlow kick out of the Orange Punch and Beach Break. And then putting him down with one succinct Powerbomb. Nice touch that the Powerbomb Symphony might only be reserved for the people he truly dislikes.

-Mox vs. Takeshita was brilliant. Takeshita has impressed the hell out of me in everything I've seen him doing. I'm glad his excursion is supposed to last most of the year because this is a dude I want to see sticking around for the long haul. Hard hitting match, brought me back to some memories of Mox's G1 run from 3 years ago.

-Christian Cage remaining a heat magnet, heel Luchasaurus is dope. Don't really care about Pillman at all.

-Claudio got me to care about a Jake Hager match which is an accomplishment in and of itself. Pretty solid, obviously the guys were very familiar with each other so that helped things out.

-Anna vs. Serena was alright. Anna very sexy as always, nice to see her get a match in front of the hometown. She's still a bit green but Serena's a good person to put anyone in the ring with. Deeb/Mercedes will be a good match albeit I'm not sure I wanna buy a PPV for a 3rd consecutive month (fuck though, I don't wanna miss Briscoes/FTR)

-Triple threat tag was a blast. They've done a lot of these triple threats recently and to me they usually deliver the goods especially when everyone really starts going hell for leather at the end of it. Possibly Keith Lee's best showing in AEW, dude is athletic as hell for his size. Thought for sure the Bucks would retain after a Swerve/Lee miscommunication and the finish we got instead was very unexpected. Glad to see them get the gold. Cool to have a "can they co-exist???" story end with them actually co-existing, for now at least.

Overall a really damn good episode.

I’m sorry to say, but Christian has jumped the shark. The Pillman stuff was a horrible idea. It draws too obvious a parallel between him and MJF. This is like the fourth week of this and it’s not really evolving. There’s an art to these things and it’s clear that TK doesn’t understand that even with a guy as talented as Christian.

Mr. Nerfect
07-14-2022, 02:04 PM
I guess they had to put the belts on Lee & Swerve to fill their black champ quota and make paying over $1.3 million between them worthwhile.

Mr. Nerfect

I’ve got no clue why a show is called Forbidden Door or why the door is forbidden when Japanese guys are brought into this promotion all the time. Things like this are entry blocks to a lot of would-be fans. That and the quality.

Mr. Nerfect
07-14-2022, 02:08 PM
Wardlow actually makes a good impression on female viewers. Nice to see TK trying to sabotage that with The King of Audience Caps. Just spray the guy with geek juice. We can’t have this product having general appeal.

Moxley is so far and away the weakest member of The Shield it isn’t funny. And that’s with Seth Rollins doing horrible fake laughing on Raw.

Mr. Nerfect
07-14-2022, 02:14 PM
By the way, putting your tag teams in the main event doesn’t fool anyone into thinking they are main eventers. This is a textbook modern WWE trick. Lol, remember “tag teams matter here?” I’m sure The Usos are feeling threatened by two WWE castoffs that have been teaming for two months because there was nothing for either of them in singles.

Mr. Nerfect
07-14-2022, 02:14 PM

-Claudio got me to care about a Jake Hager match which is an accomplishment in and of itself. Pretty solid, obviously the guys were very familiar with each other so that helped things out.

This is a staunch AEW apologist. If you insult something this guy likes, he sits in the corner and sucks his thumb and tells you not to voice your opinion anymore. Whereas his perverted comments are always presumed to be invited, mind you. This is what even a sheep can demonstrate they’ve done to Claudio Castagnoli mere weeks into the company. No one cares.

How does Jack Swagger still have a job three years into this thing? Oh that’s right, he’s Jericho’s dog-whistle buddy.

Yeah, when I read Vito talking about how Claudio and Hager had a pretty solid match and the fact that they were familiar with each other helped, I immediately thought “AEW APOLOGIST!”

“Apologist” is definitely one of the words Noid picked up in his “Complete Idiot’s Guide to Sounding Smart on the Internet” book and now he just throws it out constantly because he thinks it sounds good.

Either that or he heard me call CyNick a WWE apologist years ago and decided it sounded good. He has a habit of mirroring people who are smarter than him and not thinking anyone will notice.

Nothing wrong with being gay, Jordan. But if I had to fuck, marry or kill the Shield guys, Moxley is deader than his career.

He sucks. If he was around in the Attitude era, he’d belong no higher than the Hardcore Division. In WCW.

Cody was a nobody in WWE and got so great working indies, New Japan and AEW that by the time he got back to WWE, was instantly their top babyface and had the most compelling match they’ve put on in years.
