[Sepholio]

Buddy Matthews and Claudio fighting on the pre show rn. Decent match thus far. Prob would have had this one on the main card myself but whatever.

[Sepholio]

Tons of CM Punk messages in the live chat on YT. Mark ass losers.

[Evil Vito]

Big Stoke was hilarious on commentary for the Kingston/Lethal match

[Evil Vito]

Gunns softening up MJF and Adam Cole in the building adds some intrigue for later on

[Sepholio]

Ew this is a terrible entrance lol

[Evil Vito]

:lol: Christian having a kids choir sing him to the ring

[Sepholio]

Christian needs to raise them kids better. If they were mine they'd be on key and on time or they wouldn't be eating tonight.

[Sepholio]

Uhg. Flair -_-

[Sepholio]

IT'S STEDGE!!!!

[Evil Vito]

Copeland and Sting teaming together is surreal

[Sting Fan]

Darby, Sting and Copeland entrance was fire! As they were listed as a trio I had the thought the trios title might be Stings last title.

Also when Flair entered I couldnt help but think will they have Flair turn on Sting one last time? As much as I dont want to see Flair in a ring maybe a Flair trio vs. the Copeland, Darby, Sting trio is the plan.

I hope not... but the thought occured.

[Evil Vito]

"yo what the FUCK why the FUCK are you MOTHERFUCKERS not louder right now" is such a funny way to pay tribute to a nice Christian man in his 60s.

[Evil Vito]

Mox put over OC there in a big way, damn

[Sting Fan]

OC over Mox was good. Spammed the shit out of the punch but nice win for OC!

[Sting Fan]

Intrigued by the Jay White Vs. Adam Cole main event…

[Sepholio]

lol if MJF is the Devil.

[Evil Vito]

Mark Briscoe in the Continental Classic fucking ruuuuuules.

[Evil Vito]

Timeless Toni is so good. Kinda wanted her to lose to further descend into madness but she’s too over to not be champion.

[Sepholio]

lol "Way too many acronyms in AEW"

[Sting Fan]

Timeless Toni is so good. Kinda wanted her to lose to further descend into madness but she’s too over to not be champion.

I was a bit surprised at how into her the crowd was. I wonder how long until we get a Hayter return.

[Sting Fan]

Holy shit at the driver on the ladder!

[rez]

Vito, Sting fan, and Seph shouldn't feed these fools. Nurfpal will go ......., well axctuallly

[Ben Rodrigues]

So in comparison with previous AEW PPVs was this better, worse or on par? Read the Hangman Page match was ridiculous!

I saw MJF crying at the press conference. It frustrated me.

[Maluco]

Drinking opponents blood now to get a reaction. That should grow the audience!

I wonder what the next step is. What do you do when a 450 into glass and drinking blood doesn’t pop anymore? Genuinely curious to see what the endgame is for this type of “wrestling”

[#1-norm-fan]

I haven’t been keeping up but I just saw MJF crying while eating a pickle and I have no idea what’s going on.

[xrodmuc316]

Read the results, did they really do nothing with the devil reveal? Did they even do anything with that story whatsoever?

Also, they were trying to have security stop a hurt MJF from wrestling Jay White, while at the same exact time having no problem with Adam Cole on crutches in a cast wrestling Jay White... What??????

[Vastardikai]

At this rate, I will manage to make AEWTF a thing...

[Sepholio]

All I can say is having someone win a Texas death match via lynching is definitely a choice.

[Sepholio]

The Will Ospreay thing may also be the dumbest announcement ever.

Why the fuck announce him now when he wont be there til next year? What is the fucking point in that other than desperate attention grab? BUT WAIT BRUV JUST LET ME FINISH MY NJPW CONTRACT AND ILL BE ALL ELITE NEXT YEAR BRUV. Seriously one of the dumbest things I can remember. Completely ruined what should have been a big deal and would have been a big deal had they just waited.

[Splaya]

Tiny had to shove it into Paul's face that he signed someone that the WWE "was looking at".

[Vastardikai]

There are two possible theories, both equally possible:

A. Some close to Triple H feeds dirt sheets false info that WWE is interested in *insert Indy Shitter here*, not because they are interested, but because they want Tony to overpay for a talent as a way to "PWN" WWE.
B. Tony feeds dirt sheets false info that WWE is interested in *insert Indy Shitter here* because, when he signs them, so it can look like he "PWNED" WWE.

[Sepholio]

Will Ospreay got a tattoo of the fudged attendance numbers from Wembley.

He was never going to WWE.

[Sting Fan]

Hangman Vs. Swerve was brutal, train wreck, can’t take your eyes off of it stuff.

The main event was great although I felt the injury thing made White look weaker than required. If Cole ends up being the devil the match was great because there was a lot of hints in there the Coles the Devil.

If he’s not then it made White look weaker than it should have but the story of his arrogance costing him was still a good one.

[Sting Fan]

Vito, Sting fan, and Seph shouldn't feed these fools. Nurfpal will go ......., well axctuallly

Block helps.

The forum being down for me stopped me posting more as the show went on but as always an AEW ppv delivered.

Only let down was the Bucks vs. Omega and Jericho but following the Swerve vs. Hangman match was a big ask for anyone tbh. Felt flat after it.

[Mr. Nerfect]

Lol, forgot this show was even on. Not much buzz about this company at all. I’d laugh if Ospreay didn’t end up going to AEW after all.

[screech]

Watched this today. Enjoyed p much everything.

Didn't care about Omega/Jericho vs The Young Bucks. If all of them never wrestled again I wouldn't miss them at all.

Will Ospreay being the "big signing" was dumb as fuck. He was just on their show like a month ago, and he won't be back until next year. But they had this big announcement for him now? (I also don't care about him that much so that's part of it I guess.)

[screech]

Swerve and Hangman was fuckin gross lol. Truly disgusting match. Insane.

Toni Storm is amazing in her current gimmick. It would've been fun to see her descend further by losing, but she's over as shit rn so pulling the trigger was the right call.

[screech]

Ladder match was fun. Love me some ladder matches. I haven't been watching Collision to know the whole story there, though.

Opener was fun. I'm wondering when Nick Wayne will start wearing turtlenecks like his new pop. Copeland wearing the paint was great.

I like that Julia Hart got the win. She's been v good so I'm into her actually getting a push.

Main event was good. I'm kinda meh on Jay White, but I enjoyed the match overall.

[screech]

I probably missed something. But I liked the show on the whole. Another AEW PPV delivers :y:

[Sepholio]

Yea overall I enjoyed the show. Outside of the announcement and the ending of the swerve/hangman match, I don't have much if anything negative to say about it.

[Sepholio]

Still can't believe a company that just caught flak for an antisemitic bit would seriously end a Texas death match with a literal lynching lol.

[Corporate CockSnogger]

Finished the PPV a bit earlier on, really enjoyed this and actually watched quite a few of the matches rather than skip through most of it. The size of the card was much better than previous ppv’s with a lot less multi man matches and more one on one grudge matches which always makes it feel more important to me.

All the stuff with MJF being replaced by Cole was done quite well, even though it was pretty clear MJF would come back for the match, it was good to add an extra layer of intrigue cause you knew some shenanigans were coming. MJF is just so great right now and he’s made me give a shit about Adam Cole which takes some doing. I’ve also really enjoyed Jay White during this feud, didn’t know or care much about him before but he’s a good shithead heel. The Gunns continue to be great too.

Moxley vs Cassidy was good, I really like how theyve been presenting Moxley as something of a final boss in AEW (they might’ve even actually said this on commentary). To keep that aura going I’d have actually liked him to win, but at the same time they’ve built up a good story of Cassidy getting more and more aggressive to get himself to the level of beating Mox. Hope they have Mox win his next feud tho

[Corporate CockSnogger]

Swerve vs Hangman was so so good, thought it was going to end a few times and really surprised Swerve got the win in the end. Could’ve done without Cage getting involved as I think Swerve needs to be on his own now to really break into the main event. Would like both of these in and around the main event scene though.

Ladder match was good, like Screech I’ve not followed any of this story as I’ve not watched any Collision stuff but it was your usual fun multi man ladder match. The tag titles is the one place I don’t mind but dumb multi man matches because they’re always fun

What’s the deal with this tournament? I’m a bit sick of Eddie Kingston matches, although I enjoy him as a character. He’s pretty much spoiled that he’ll get to the final though by putting his titles on the line in every match. He’ll either win the lot or lose them in the final. My one request to these idiots booking all of this remains that they need to get rid of all the titles asap. I don’t care about ROH or NJPW belts at all and it just waters down everything else when you’ve got 3-4 world champions running round

[Corporate CockSnogger]

Skipped through the brauds matches although I guess I don’t mind any of the ones involved.

Skipped through Omega/Jericho vs Bucks. I usually enjoy the Bucks matches but I think I might be getting a bit bored of them now? Jericho and Omega becoming a team just feels a bit forced and would much rather Omega was kept on his own around the main event picture rather than tag

Skipped through most of the Sting/Edge/Darby vs Christian stuff. The entrances were good though. This is one of those cases where an individual match would’ve felt like a bigger deal than throwing everyone into a big tag match though. But at least it made sense with Christian feuding against all three of them

[Corporate CockSnogger]

I’ve enjoyed the few Will Ospreay matches I’ve seen when he’s shown up in AEW. Seems really good, but assume he’ll be going straight into the main event, which is so bloated. Just hope they don’t try and introduce a second AEW world title.

Third.

[Evil Vito]

Shame TPWW did it's nightly crap-out midway through the show. Just a few more months til the place is sunset for good :(

[Evil Vito]

Swerve/Hangman was a fucking gruesome spectacle and I loved it, worth the price on its own

[Mr. Nerfect]

TNA is going to outlive TPWW.

[Mr. Nerfect]

AEW are really struggling on the line, aren’t they? An announcement about an announcement. A forthcoming announcement.

[Mr. Nerfect]

If you’re going to sign Will Ospreay and have a working agreement with New Japan, why wouldn’t you just book him in a match? This fucking company. :lol:

[Mr. Nerfect]

Adam Page should have drank Swerve’s piss. That would have been hardcore.

[Mr. Nerfect]

It’s bad enough when WWE opens a show with a “World Title match.” AEW has pre-show matches for World Titles. ROH is not a thing. It’s dead. It’s counterproductive to keep it around and shop it around. How happy are your media partners that you’re trying to compete with yourself?

[Mr. Nerfect]

Claudio is probably getting paid a lot of money, but how’s being underrated in WWE going? Glad he’s not being misused anymore. Buddy Murphy will be back in the WWE as soon as he can, unless Rhea tells him to stay over there and make Tony Khan money so she can hang out with other people.

[Mr. Nerfect]

So MJF chooses Samoa Joe to be his partner in exchange for a title shot…yet Joe doesn’t give a shit whether or not MJF retains the belt? Makes sense. Also, why do an angle where you hurt the leg of MJF only to have a one-legged man replace him? That’s so fucking stupid.

The Gunns are going to be awesome in NXT.

[Mr. Nerfect]

Jerk that curtain, Edge. It’s embarrassing at this point. Christian needs to get out of AEW as soon as his deal is up. Lol if AEW ends up losing both their World Champion and TNT Champion in a matter of months.

[Mr. Nerfect]

Remember when people said “It’s not like they’re actually pushing Orange Cassidy?” as a defense of his existence? Yeah, about that…

He isn’t very good. Neither is Moxley tho. His AEW run has really exposed him. He’s exactly the sort of guy you want over there, making an ass out of everything, chewing up resources. And Tony Khan have him a creative consultancy position didn’t he? Fucking lol.

[Mr. Nerfect]

By the way, hasn’t it been exposed that Orange Cassidy turns away viewers? Pushing him again and again is insanity at this point. It was always stupid, but it’s literally insane trying to make this thing work.

[Mr. Nerfect]

At least FTR are getting paid. I bet they’re regretting their decision to not take comparable WWE deals though. They’re actually being ribbed for re-upping.

La Faccion sucks. Malakai Black and Brody King are probably counting down the days on their deals. Ricky Starks will be great in NXT.

Does anyone in this match even want to be in this company? And they get told to go out there and have a ladder match? Unbelievable.

[Mr. Nerfect]

Preston Vance probably does, because he gets paid way too much money to suck. And he gets to stand back and watch a bunch of people who would quit in a heartbeat go out and break their necks.

[Mr. Nerfect]

Looking forward to that young up-and-comer Chris Jericho get a tag team title run with that video game genius Kenny Omega. Nothing wrong at all there.

Has anyone officially given Omega shit for sinking literally millions of dollars into a video game that was DOA because it sucked? Oh hey, also, where are those dumb bitches on here who were all like “nah noid you don’t understand video games.” Hey, look who was right. Again.

[Mr. Nerfect]

You know what Kenny Omega needs? A promotion. Let’s back the truck up. We’ll be beating Raw in the ratings in no time.

[Mr. Nerfect]

You know what’s hilarious? Is that MJF has slipped “AEW sucks” as a storyline past everyone. It’s actually hilarious. What’s the pay-off? MJF cries about how AEW is his home? How does that make anyone any money? That’s why I’m hoping the whole thing is a shoot and he’s in the Rumble and Tony Khan is like “fuck, who’d have thought that letting him not sign a deal was a BAD idea?”

[Mr. Nerfect]

The women’s division isn’t even worth talking about.

[screech]

He'll likely still be Tony Khan's new toy by then, so yeah it'll be main event for him. I like him just fine (I've only seen his AEW work) but yeah, it'll be more crowded.

[Corporate CockSnogger]

He'll likely still be Tony Khan's new toy by then, so yeah it'll be main event for him. I like him just fine (I've only seen his AEW work) but yeah, it'll be more crowded.

He will probably win the belt in Wembley I imagine. Hopefully he’s kept away from the Don Callis family since that just seems to be a dead end for the guys joining it.

I’d actually like him to stay on his own and not join a faction for once in AEW.

[Lock Jaw]

Everyone needs to be in a faction though

How else would we know where they stand on the issues

[Corporate CockSnogger]

I mean I guess it kinda makes sense. People have friends.

[xrodmuc316]

Everyone needs to be in a faction though

How else would we know where they stand on the issues

I still have no idea where Blackpool Combat stands on anything :rofl:

Sometimes they are trying to severely injure people, sometimes they are trying to save babies.

[Mr. Nerfect]

Who does Ospreay challenge at Wembley? When you think about it, doesn’t really deserve a stadium, does it?

[Ben Rodrigues]

Exceedingly interested to see how ticket sales play out.

[Mr. Nerfect]

I don’t know why you would rush to buy Wembley tickets knowing you could buy them cheap day of the show/probably get in for free. I think it’s going to be a meme this thing not moving.
