yoooooooooooooo

Hi we have good seats

[Sepholio]

HUGE TK ANNOUNCEMENT IMMINENT U GAIZ

[DaveWadding]

Takeshita and Hobbs were on Dark Elevation.

[slik]

Have a great time!

[slik]

Have already spotted DaveWadding and RoXer in the crowd, giving a thumbs up during OC's entrance

[slik]

Aggressive Wheeler Yuta

[Triple A]

Just started watching... hope tonight's episode isn't horrible like last week...........

[Triple A]

crowd sounds good

[DaveWadding]

Have already spotted DaveWadding and RoXer in the crowd, giving a thumbs up during OC's entrance

:y:

You are missed buddy

[Evil Vito]

Holy fuck, crowd was shit hot for that. Great opener.

[xrodmuc316]

Wheelie Useless is the worst person they put on TV. He is so damn boring he made an Orange Cassidy match unfun.

[#1-norm-fan]

Yo! Chinese, fellas!

[DaveWadding]

THE REVOLUTION IS TELEVISED

[#1-norm-fan]

(Fried rice, orange chicken, veggie stir fry)

[slik]

paper going to fall out of ricky's pocket

[Triple A]

groaning @ thought of Moxley vs. Evil Uno match... imagining lots of blood... making me feel sick

[Jordan]

groaning @ thought of Moxley vs. Evil Uno match... imagining lots of blood... making me feel sick

Uno bleeding out his mask.

[Jordan]

Jericho being a fucking cartoon.

[Jordan]

At least it isn't a pull apart or a one line interview interrupted.

Schiavone doesn't know about THE LIST lol.

[Jordan]

I'm a little bit out of touch with AEW but am I wrong in saying that it isn't likely that Jericho can really "make" anyone at this point?

[Evil Vito]

If Jericho had won the first match over Starks by cheating this build would’ve made so much more sense than it has.

The face has already won clean. There won’t be any catharsis if he does it again.

[Evil Vito]

Acclaimed getting a Road Warriors Chicago pop, god damn.

[erickman]

big bill????

[Triple A]

I'm a little bit out of touch with AEW but am I wrong in saying that it isn't likely that Jericho can really "make" anyone at this point?

I think he still can... feel like he's been losing a lot lately though so that might hurt him since him losing won't be a surprise anymore!

[Evil Vito]

Big Bill got popped by the SAWFT line

[Triple A]

If Jericho had won the first match over Starks by cheating this build would’ve made so much more sense than it has.

The face has already won clean. There won’t be any catharsis if he does it again.

smh forgot that Starks already beat Jericho... thought Jericho won based on this feud

[slik]

was posting in the ratings thread and wondered why no one else was talking about dynamite before i realized i was in the wrong thread

[Triple A]

"Big Bill" looks cool... they should use him better... wish pussy ass Tony Khan would sign Enzo Amore

[slik]

jungle boy and christian should have a match where the loser gets tarred and feathered

[slik]

christian comically embarrassed when he is covered in feathers after losing match

[slik]

should do a gimmick where eddie kingston keeps buying meme stocks with other wrestler's money

[Triple A]

Damn, wanted to hear Christian on the mic

[Triple A]

Samoa Joe rules

[Triple A]

Feel like Saraya is the worst signing in AEW history maybe...

[slik]

she is

[Jordan]

"Big Bill" looks cool... they should use him better... wish pussy ass Tony Khan would sign Enzo Amore

I know, they would be really good in AEW's tag division. I can only imagine how fucking ridiculous a match with The Bucks would be. Would love to see what Enzo would do, remember when he got knocked out on the ropes?:rofl:

[slik]

I'm a little bit out of touch with AEW but am I wrong in saying that it isn't likely that Jericho can really "make" anyone at this point?

he did ok with action andretti but then for some reason tk stopped putting action andretti on tv

[Jordan]

I would do it with all of these ladies even though they aren't as good as WWE's women like Bianca!

[Triple A]

Ruby Soho not an interesting opponent for Hayter...

[Jordan]

I can tell you right now, I ain't watching this PPV.

[slik]

would be 'unexpected' if demi lovato interupted this Bryan Danielson promo with a musical performance

[Jordan]

WE KNOW REGAL IS BACK IN WWE YOU IDIOT

[Jordan]

Oh I hate it when MJF does this!

[slik]

why is mjf talking about his relationships again...this is not the entertaining mjf content

[Jordan]

What in the fuck is this terrible shit they keep having MJF say?

[xrodmuc316]

Feel like Saraya is the worst signing in AEW history maybe...

LOL slow down a minute, until she publicly bashes the boss and his company, while she is sitting right next to him, causes 4 championships to be vacated, and destroys the illusion of AEW being one big happy family, well let's just say she has quite a way to go still.

[Jordan]

Could've just been about wrestling, who out there in the world is more influenced by this bullshit?

[xrodmuc316]

YOOOO MJF is so full of shit, he just said Brie Bella is smart :lol:

[slik]

this promo is weird af

[Jordan]

AEW really stinks without Cody!

But uh oh! Danielson said SHIT!

[xrodmuc316]

Bryan has had his daughter on tv since she was born, suddenly she is off limits?

[erickman]

wonder if aew signed the bellas

[Triple A]

That ended better than it started... good segment imo. Didn't really have a reason to "care" about this feud/match before this segment I think

[slik]

MJF/Bryan wearing the same color shirt/pants during a pull apart brawl

[Triple A]

Carl Winslow saying "Go home Steve..." in my head

[DaveWadding]

CERO FUCKIN MIEDOOOOOOOO

[Triple A]

The Butcher really red

[slik]

is mox vs uno the main event

[Jordan]

is mox vs uno the main event

Or Tony's announcement :lol:

[Jordan]

I bet Butcher's penis is bright red at all times.

[Jordan]

You could literally fire everyone in this match and it wouldn't matter and the roster would still be over crowded.

[slik]

booooooo

[Triple A]

Fenix better win

[slik]

insanely long commercial break with like 6 people left in battle royal

[slik]

BOOOOOOOOO

[xrodmuc316]

What is the prize for this battle royale, I missed it.

[Triple A]

crowd pissed

[Triple A]

What is the prize for this battle royale, I missed it.

Winners get to be in the 4 way tag team title match at the ppv

[DaveWadding]

Fuck Jeff Jarrett

[Evil Vito]

Really….all those fuckin good teams and you put Jarrett and Lethal in there? Sigh.

[Jordan]

Jarrett is really fun. This was actually really good by the end.

[xrodmuc316]

Winners get to be in the 4 way tag team title match at the ppv

Ahhh ok, I am good with Jarrett and Lethal then.

[Evil Vito]

Like honestly when I reassess Jarrett’s work, dude’s genuinely great at getting people behind his opponent.

But he doesn’t need to be on a PPV. And Lethal is boring as shit.

[Jordan]

Wow they have enough tag teams to do another battle royal next week lol.

[DaveWadding]

Fuck off Jordan, Jarrett sucks ass and has for 25 years

[Evil Vito]

Elite vs HOB should slap tits tho

[erickman]

Really….all those fuckin good teams and you put Jarrett and Lethal in there? Sigh.

good heels to take the pin

[Triple A]

completely space out @ every House of Black dark promo segment

[Evil Vito]

Lol another announcement that didn’t require any hype whatsoever

[Evil Vito]

Tony needs to lay off the coke

[slik]

i don't care about this new show

[Triple A]

adam cole killing me... idk why he is considered "good" on the mic

[erickman]

3rd hour of aew on wed

[xrodmuc316]

This sounds like a test run to see how a third hour on Wednesday would do. A 3 hour Dynamite on Wednesdays has to be a better option than Rampage.

[Evil Vito]

At least Power Slap will no longer be following Dynamite

[xrodmuc316]

Also, R.I.P. Slap Fights

[Triple A]

PPV card not good at all so far.......

[Evil Vito]

#PrayForUno

[xrodmuc316]

Silicon Valley such an underrated show.

[slik]

a reality tv series is not a major announcement

[Evil Vito]

I think from a wrestling promoter/TV industry standpoint, getting another hour of TV is a big deal. But that doesn’t mean it needed to be billed as a major announcement.

Tony’s gotta realize most fans don’t give a shit about that fuck.

[Evil Vito]

UNO WITH THE FAT MAN SENTON BAH GAWD

[slik]

Proud of Mox for not blading

[xrodmuc316]

Mox getting booed lol, this is wild

[xrodmuc316]

45 seconds later, the fans forgot and started a Moxley chant

[slik]

uno blade job lol

[Triple A]

don't like this

[Triple A]

disgusting

[Triple A]

New generic theme music for Hangman?

[Triple A]

gonna be so much blood in Moxley vs. Page match, sucks.......

[xrodmuc316]

BCC needs to go, there is zero point to it

[slik]

Proud of Mox for not blading

I spoke too soon

[Jordan]

Goddamn that was fucking gross.

[xrodmuc316]

LOL Mox blading so he can get color for the last 20 seconds of TV, the man cuts himself more than a depressed teen

[Evil Vito]

I knew Uno was a much better worker than he’s ever been allowed to show on AEW. Still gutted he and Grayson never got any proper tag action once TV started.

But damn he looked badass there and had the fans behind him. Happy for that dude.

[DaveWadding]

What a fuckin blader by Uno, goddamn

[DaveWadding]

Ready for RAM - PAIGE

[DaveWadding]

(I'll spoiler tag results from here on)

[Evil Vito]

:'( Uno got a standing O once the show went off the air.

[DaveWadding]

JR BAH GAWD

[slik]

MJF legit knocked out by this

[DaveWadding]

hate watching a Young Bucks match in person. At least Aussie Open is here

[DaveWadding]

Bucks won :roll: was a pretty good match I guess

[DaveWadding]

Toni Storm vs Willow
Toni won thanks to Saraya interference. Ruby comes out to save Willow, Hayter and Dr. Britt come in... Basically the same as Dynamite

[DaveWadding]

Lance Archer had a squash match, haven't seen him on AEW in ages

[DaveWadding]

he did ok with action andretti but then for some reason tk stopped putting action andretti on tv

Andretti vs Guevara Rampage main event

[slik]

<blockquote class="twitter-tweet"><p lang="en" dir="ltr">The MJF promo had a lot of truth to it.

[DaveWadding]

Andretti and Sammy did a bunch of high spots, Sammy won with Garcia interference, so every JAS match

[xrodmuc316]

Whatever happened to Serena Deeb? I don't think she has been on TV since Saraya debuted.

[weather vane]

Hope you guys are having fun! Enjoy it.

[#1-norm-fan]

Damn. TBS gave AEW ANOTHER hour of weekly TV? Good for them!

[drave]

are they high fiving in the hallway yet???

[XL]

Just setup the biggest 3 hour block of wrestling of the week. Dare I say, game changer!

[Mr. Nerfect]

LolAEW

[Sting Fan]

Jesus that senton to the outside had me worried for Uno and Mox. Fun little match that one, I'm not necessarily a body guy but Uno is so far the other side of cut while not being overly imposing with it that hes kind of hard to take seriously.

That said I didnt know he could go like that so would probably be more invested in him moving forward if he wrestled more.

Show was better than last week but still not amazing. Crowd was hot.

I really cant get into MJF vs. Danielson. I get what MJF is trying to do but I just feel like he needs to wrestle more at this point. If your long established and your the special attraction I get it but he doesnt feel as special as all that yet and its such a jarring departure from Mox throwing down post show vs. the Hotdog guy in row 11 because he respects the mans hustle.
