I'd say the Vegas odds on this show edging closer to 5 hours than 4 is probably about -220.
|
This is probably the very first PPV for AEW where there are SO many matchups that I don't care at all about. My interest is really only peaked for Page/Punk, Anarchy in the Arena, MJF/Wardlow, and I'm halfway interested in Bucks/Hardys, Tag Team Championship triangle match and The House of Black against Death Triangle.
If those slap it will a good show. Of course the other matches can and will likely deliver too it's just there are so many that I can't care about. I get wanting to have Darby and O'Reilly on the show but it's packed man, wtf do we need that here for? Put it on Dynamite. Set it up in an angle on the PPV to get them their checks. Tony spoke about the NBA game playing at the same time and he's going to time out the show so that NBA fans won't miss the main event. So stupid. |
I don't know why this is my first thought when looking at this card but I hope Men of the Year do something that doesn't involve Sammy Guevara after this.
|
I hope Hangman holds Tiny up for about $5 million or refuses to lose to a broken down fraud.

But honestly, before Revolution they had 3 pre-show matches. Darby and KOR as the pre-show "main event" feels totally workable, let them fly at each other for 15 minutes and call it a day. Don't see the need to shoehorn it onto here. Don't really get Jade/Anna as a main show match either. We know Jade is winning, she's already beaten Anna before. As happy in the pants Anna makes me I don't need to see it again. |
AEW PPVs always deliver, and looking at the card I see a handful of matches that should be good to great. I'm not even that put off by AEW PPVs being long because they only do 4 a year, so it makes sense to me.
But that still doesn't mean you need to shoehorn people onto the main card either. I guess it was either this or another one of those clusterfuck Casino matches. Ah well. |
Wonder if anyone from NJPW will be turning up to set up a Forbidden Door match.
I still have an inkling that a lot of that card will be multi-man tags like a normal NJPW show. If we get more than one marquee singles match we'll be lucky. |
Haven't watched AEW in a while but this card sounds l
Loaded...I think I need to catch up on Dynamite and check this PPV out |
least excited i've been for an AEW ppv!
|
I don’t like how many last minute matches they’ve plugged in.
Paige v Punk Men of the year/Sammy/Tay/Frankie Tag title match Owen tourney finals Women’s title HookHausen v Neese and Sterling House of black v death triangle That should be the main show as those have been the longest running angles. And I’d argue The house of Black Death triangle has gone on way too long. The Sammy v Scorpio has went on too long too but now they’re at least blowing off the Tay v Van Zant mini feud it created. I still think the card will deliver bell to bell but it feels really bloated for no reason other than get guys a ppv pay day. Most of those extra matches don’t even need to be on the pre snow to be honest. Here’s hoping Joe and Ruby come out on top of the tourney. Ruby needs a big win as her character has been a failure in that regard after losing two title matches in a year. Cole isn’t doing much for me and I think the winner of the tourney should get a world title shot, and Joe v Punk has way more appeal to me than Punk v Cole. |
Oh and the anarchy in the arena match is fine but idk what BBC is doing in there.
|
You forgot MJF-Wardlow
|
There’s 6 matches I’m very excited about, and then a lot of stuff I don’t care about or don’t care for. Completely burnt out on Adam Cole. Starting to get there with Britt Baker as well. Don’t care about the Sammy/Men of the Year feud. I like Darby and O’Reilly but that shld be on the pre show. Same with Jade and Anna. Hardys/Bucks seems way too rushed for a dream match.
That being said, I am jacked to the tits for the matches I am looking forward to. And AEW has yet to do a bad ppv. So I hope all the good stuff isn’t weighed down by the bloat. |

I don't dislike Cole and was jazzed to see him in AEW. He's a good hand and there's a place for him. But he just doesn't seem worth the amount of exposure they've given him. As a character he's always been exactly the same guy. ROH Cole is the same as NJPW Cole is the same as NXT Cole. Doesn't seem to have the range to be anything other than a smarmy heel. That they're actively rehashing Undisputed Era just adds to the optics that he's not really brought anything new to the table. |
The lone benefit to Undisputed Era being in AEW was to set up the eventual match with Omega and The Bucks. Last winter I really thought DoN would be the time for it but didn't realize the real extent of Omega's injuries. I assume that program will eventually happen but now not til All Out or Full Gear.
So my fear now is that they'll stall for time with Cole by having him and another overexposed character in Baker win the Owen trophies and be an annoying power couple. If they feud with Sammy and Tay it might be the first time I actively change the channel during an AEW segment. |
Cole ever being a “world” champion was ridiculous. The best use for him was to take advantage the bit of credibility that flub in NXT gave him by jobbing him to the champ as soon as possible and then move him down to the midcard. Joe should beat him handily.
|
I wouldn’t have a problem with Britt winning though.
|
Adam Cole > CM Phil

Lol, the world won’t be watching. Card looks awful. AEW doesn’t matter. Who could possibly honestly care about this shit?
|
Looking forward to this PPV!
|
Apparently, MJF went MIA for a fan meet and greet. Sheeeeit.
|
I wonder if MJF is going to Warrior style hold up Tony and Tony will secretly be marking out that he's being held up by "the greatest heel in the business today, maybe ever!"
|
Apparently AEW was charging $100 for the meet and greet, while paying MJF peanuts compared to all of Tiny's favorite ex WWEers.
|
Apparently, Samoa Joe became Samoa No Show, as well.

wtf
|
He’s got you guys.
Unless this isn’t a work and colour me shocked. |
MJF vs Wardlow is the big money match for me at Double or Nothing
I'm sort of interested in Punk/Hangman but this was really a one-match show for me... |
Will give him the benefit of the doubt that maybe it's a family emergency until more info is known
|
No chance it’s a family emergency.
|
I’ll tell you this. I’m amped to watch tomorrow night now when I really wasn’t.

MJF easily the best part of AEW so would suck dick if he's gonna be gone... would be awful in WWE
Also seems dumb to burn a bridge with AEW if he's after a big contract offer from WWE... if AEW is out of the picture, WWE can low ball him Guess he was so pissed at something that he didn't care |
