  1. Tonight was a pretty boring show. I mean the matches were fine. Its just everything was predictable. I was pulling for Shinske Nakamura to win. Rollins is the safe predictable choice. Did get a good laugh from Otis tonight when he couldn't decide between who to listen to. Chad or the pretty lady.... Oooh yeah. Nice to see Becky back. But yeah with Rollins winning I can't figure who smackdown would have win on their side.
  2. I think Bryan wanted to do a mask vs. hair match with Blue Panther a while back just so he could shave his head and beard off.
  3. Show was a lot of fun from the start. Iyo finally lived up to all her potential in that opener. It's amazing what can happen when they're just allowed to go out and deliver. Only match that was a bit of a dud was Rollins vs. Omos which was to be expected. But Rollins to his credit dragged something out of the big guy and made it passable by the end. No idea where Omos goes from here though. Zelina had a star making moment with that crowd reaction tonight. I would have said the hell with it and had her win, but I guess they'll do the lame belt switch like last time. Bad Bunny is better than he has any right to be. That was fun watching that match. Six man was good and was to be expected with Solo getting the win. Didn't expect Cody/Brock to turn into a blood bath. But it added nicely to the match when the momentum swung for Cody's favor. Overall a really good show. I wish more crowds were that alive.
  4. Yea I agree. This was the best looking show in a long time. They need to go at least once a year from now on.
  5. So sorry for his family's loss. RIP Dean.
  6. This was a good show last night. I missed the opening match, but saw everything else on from it. The highlight of the night was Jarrett and company at The Briscoe farm. On the DVDVR Twitter there was the Silo Satnam name that was hilarious. I personally would have went with Haystacks Singh. Saraya and Willow had a really good match. I was impressed with the old double swerve from Shida. I mean AEW doesn't do anything with her so storyline wise I could have seen her betraying the originals. Ah well I'm happy anytime she's on tv. The main event was really good. I loved Sammy and MJF's bromance disintegrating over who should get the pin. Darby being all I'm doing my move whether you move or not was great at the end for the win.
  7. Wasn't a bad show last night. Uso's vs Owens and Sami was really good. Some of the draft picks made no sense but that was expected. I do like Lashley going to smackdown though. Give me Lashley vs Roman.
  8. This was a much better show last night than last week's. Orange Cassidy continues to roll as he had a really good match with Bandito. I thought Bandito was going to win a couple of times during the match. Dax vs. Jarrett was a good match. Jarrett much like Billy Gunn is having a nice third act to his career right now. The only thing I didn't like was I thought Jade was going to lose. I hope we get a rematch for the PPV.
  9. The fits that Joey Styles used to have over that flag were always the best.
  10. Unlike recent shows, I thought tonight's show was pretty below average even for AEW. There were a couple of things I did like. Pairing Wardlow with Arn Anderson was a good idea. This show needs Double A and I popped for Arn hitting that sweet DDT on QT Marshall. The TNT Title needs a long title holder and hopefully Wardlow can at least hold it past Double or Nothing. The bit with Jericho and Adam Cole was all right. I thought it was stupid to have Britt come out and them have to rely on The Outcasts to do the dirty work. I know Tony won't allow man on women violence, but with Cole handcuffed a Judas Effect on Baker would have gotten the reaction they were looking for. Jericho becomes an even bigger asshole, Cole's out for revenge. It works out for everyone. The main event was good. Lot's of head dropping on Jungle Boy's part. I thought Sammy would end up losing but I guess it makes more sense to go with Sammy/Darby next week. Overall I just thought this show was missing something and it just didn't click right.
  11. This split roster stuff for a company like AEW is just stupid. Can't we just lock everyone in a room until they agree not to kill each other? Tony still probably reads this board. He needs to put this shit to a rest. Splitting things up would just be a band aid on an arterial bleed.
  12. Shit, I forgot what Stray's was about. But I can see that having a Sausage Party like effect at the box office. Probably will do great on home media with an unrated cut.
  13. Show wasn't too bad tonight. I guess it could have been worse all things considered with the travel issues. Rey vs. Finn was a good match. Dominik continues to be a little shit and he's so great at it. Who would have ever guessed this kid could get nuclear heat like no one else. The women's tag match was pretty good. There was some miscommunication with Becky and Trish but in retrospect that was probably a little foreshadowing of what was to come. I'm gonna guess it will come out that Trish attacked Lita. Good win for Liv and Raquel. Hopefully they get a nice run with the titles. Cody cut a hell of a promo. I hope they come up with something interesting as to why Brock did it other than he was pissed about his match placement. But I thought Cody's promo was really good. Lashley vs. Reed. This is a feud I can get behind. I hope we get a lot more of it. Uso's vs. Alpha Academy was pretty good. Otis has a wealth of untapped potential and he showed glimmer's of it tonight. The crowd loves the guy. Chad Gable got in some good spots before losing the match. The triple threat was what it was. I would have prefered to see Mia Yim win, but Bianca vs. Iyo should be good. Main event was all right. Solo continues to run wild with the help of the Uso's. I figured Sami and Riddle would show up at the end and they did. Nice brawl to end things. Overall not a bad show.
  14. Good show as usual last night. Sucks that they blew the Jay White into by having the wrong camera on. They should have had White cut a promo. But aside from that the show was good. I'm glad FTR won because I can't imagine them wanting to go back to the WWE with everything going on at the moment.
  15. The board wouldn't let me post Homer as Guy Incognito. All that is missing is the top hat.
  16. I thought night two was a bit of a let down compared to night one. Cody vs Roman was the match of the night for me. The triple threat was a close second followed by Asuka vs. Bianca. Sad that Asuka lost. Thought for sure she would win. I'm not surprised Cody lost though. I wish he won, but not surprised he didn't.
  17. That was a fun show. There really wasnt anything that disappointed tonight. Just for emotion alone, Rey/Dom was amazing. Rhea vs. Charlotte was probably the match of the night. But Owens/Zayn vs. Uso's might be a top three match of the year candidate. I'm exhausted just from watching all that. Oh yeah honorable mention to Chad Gable doing the rolling german on Braun. I popped for that.
  18. I watched the show last night and thought it was good. Vikingo and Kommander set a really high bar for the night. I was bummed Mark lost against Joe. Surprised that Shibata beat Yuta clean. I figured with Moxley lurking around something would happen. I hope the feud with Eddie and Claudio continues because that was a damn good match.
  19. I don't know. I think he's going for a Clark Gable look with that dye job.
  20. Last night's show was pretty good. The MJF/Jack Perry promo was good. I agree with the notion that MJF is so much better when he's not going for cheap heat. I like how the BCC has gone full heel. Just destroying Dalton & The Boys. Not even giving them a chance to shine for a moment. Later in the night Danielson turning bad was great. Now you got four guys just interested in hurting people. Nothing wrong with that. Good to see Adam Cole back. He looked in good shape and form. But were the streamers really necessary after the match? I look forward to the eventual Cole/Jericho match.
  21. Last night's show was really good. I had never seen Vikingo wrestle before so it was a real treat. I really hope FTR isn't going out by losing to The Gunn's. The Gunn's are getting so much XPac heat it's not even funny. That would just be terrible if they lost and left AEW that way. I like BCC going all heel with the beatdowns. Those Blackpool Wrestling pullover's they had on looked really swank. Overall a great show last night. The red/white/blue ropes were weird though.
  22. Last night was a pretty good show in parts. Loved the opening with KO/Sami and The Uso's. They've managed to make the hottest tag title match in the WWE in years with this match that got set up. Ford/Theory was a good match. For some reason I was thinking Ford would win (it's not like Theory needs the title against Cena), but then I remembered Ford is in the showcase 4 way so that thought quickly went away. Dominik Mysterio is such a dick it's great. He had a really good match against Johnny Gargano. I liked the ending with him frog splashing the injured ribs. The show started to fall off when they had Bayley vs Rhea for no apparent reason. I mean it was a good match, but the heel vs. heel randomness of it made no sense. Otis is tremendous in his role. Gable vs. Ricochet was probably the match of the night. I don't know where Roman and Cody is going. I want Cody to win, but I can see Roman continuing to dominate even with The Bloodline falling apart around him. I don't think The Rock is ever coming back for that match with Roman (though considering he torpedoed the entire DCEU who knows). I just know this WrestleMania is looking good with The Bloodline title matches.
  23. Last night's show was good as usual. I was shocked they opened up with the show with the MJF Bah Mizpah. The other pillars of the company coming out to interupt was a nice touch. Out of all of them I'd want to see MJF/Jack Perry. Maybe MJF/Darby. Those would both be good matches to see. The BCC's heel turn continues and Wheeler Yuta is such a dick it's great. I thought for sure Jarrett would win the new International title through shady tactics. It's not a main event title so I could live with Jarrett being a champion again. But OC justs keeps on rolling so good for him. The only part of the show that was a let down was the Jade open challenge. I would have rather seen them skip the squash match and just have Taya come out and Jade decline to face her. Also didn't care for The Outcasts promo either. Main event was really good. Loved seeing House of Black win. I was surprised to see Jericho take that Dante's Inferno move that Brody does. It all led to a nice brawl at the end and I hope we get Hangman back with The Elite. Let things come full circle for AEW.
  24. Last night was a good show. Nothing amazing, but it was good none the less. Lethal vs. Cassidy was probably the best match of the night. I don't get the rebranding of the title to International either especially with the tie in to Shazam 2. Orange Cassidy has had a good run so I hope it continues next week. I don't mind Hobbs winning the title. What I did mind was this nonsense with QT being the one to help him do it. Hopefully it will make some sense next week, but they really dropped the ball on Wardlow.
  25. I forgot to comment last night. Thought the show was pretty good as usual for their ppvs. Moxley vs Page was my favorite match of the night. I loved that Page won so I hope this means big things for him again. The iron man match was really good. I figured they would do sudden death. Overall very enjoyable. I have no idea who would feud with MJF going forward. I like that AEW isn't predictable like that.
