Late to the party but I recently got AEW Plus on FITE so I’m going a catch up on some of the big matches from the last few months. Any recommendations? So far I’ve watched; Dragon V Omega- just a great, hard hitting match which told a great story can’t wait to see them go at it again. Dragon V Suzuki- I actually didn’t care for this, thought it was a typical Suzuki formula match. Maybe i just wasn’t in the form. Dragon V Hangman- fantastic, a classic from top to bottom

Paraphrasing here but the best part of Cody’s promo was the line that he “got to do all the stuff punk said he would do (in 2011)” but it would’ve been ten times better if a) he was in a feud with punk b) it was any way relevant at all other than to big himself up.

Not the biggest Mox fan but I was ready to run through a fucking wall after his promo. Great stuff, hope we get G1 Moxley again this year. I also enjoyed Cody’s weird rambling promo. Sting having this much fun and getting to do so much is the biggest FU to Vince and co. that he can ask for and I’m here for every second of it.

This company is the shits these days BUT…. This version of Brock is the best version of Brock. Anyone else get the feeling this could be Brocks last run?

Late to the party but….. Season 2 of The Morning Show- yikes!

The Owen tribute video and the organisation of the two tournaments tells me all I need to know about Tony Khan. Pure and utter class. I’ve never wished a wrestler that’s passed was around so they could work a particular opponent/match/in a company but fuck me Owen would be top of the pile in AEW. Also Bryan Danielson is the best in the god damn world.

One ticket for the HOOK hype train purchased. Dude is gonna be a fucking star.

Part of me thinks Punk is burning through feuds/matches because his contract isn’t THAT long and he wants to fit as much in as he can. Then another part of me thinks as @ChrisPBaconmentioned that we’re getting a slow burn and Punk is here for the long run. Either way- wrestling is awesome.

I’m late to the party but S3E3 of Succession is one of the best hours of tv I’ve ever seen.

AEW Adam Cole > NXT Adam Cole

I won’t lie, for some reason the room got a little dusty when the bell rang for Omega/Dragon, crowd goes insane before anything happens and Danielson had the biggest smile on his face. Pro f’n wrestling ladies and gents.

Ya Chioda just came across and a guy who didn’t wanna grow up. Flair (in my opinion) has always been one of the biggest pieces of shit in the business so none of this really surprises me. Dreamers comments were a surprise to me but I guess I never cared too much about him to listen to him before.

I can not wait for next week. Give me full on ROH style dickhead Bryan Danielson, give me fish hooks and spitting in peoples mouth, “I have til FIVE referee”, give me elbows to the head, surfboardin and cattle mutilatin’ Bryan Danielson.

The tag match was fucking incredible. A bit over spotfesty for my liking at times but overall just a great match. The eruption from the crowd after it seemed sure the Bucks would win right up until the end was something else. Imagine a WWE tag title match these days feeling THAT important, they’ve probably done it in the past with the old NXT or The Shield or now that I think of it the Usos/New Day but no way they could achieve anything like that the way the shows are booked now.

Random thoughts- Adam Cole looks re-energised. Danielson definitely teared up when he exited the tunnel. Was Suzuki’s appearance a legit surprise for Mox? Genuinely looked like he didn’t know. So many potential match ups. This reminds me of the Raw after WM30 when Bryan and The Shield closed out the show and felt like a huge breath of fresh air. Multipled by about 10. I will lose my shit if Okada shows up at some stage. Again, Rampage needs to get another hour. So much talent to use.

I’ve skipped a lot of this thread due to all the Twitter links being posted so forgive me if it’s been said- Rampage has to go to 2hours soon right? Otherwise guys and gals on that roster are going to be pissed.

Ordered on Fite app but probably won’t be able to watch until the morning (Irish time). Wild predictions- Punk/Darby goes first, Hangman costs the Bucks the title.

I honestly don’t get what people see in Becky, she has the one of corniest gimmicks and promos in the company so last nights shenanigans doesn’t sit right with me one bit.

Frank was next to him without makeup I think. If I recall correctly Lesnar douche is an investment banker with loads of cash or something?

This is exactly how I feel- it may sound corny but Punk,his promos and him generally just being him got me through some dark times during 2011-2013. Seeing him happy and genuinely enthusiastic about wrestling again is great for all involved.

Seeing that dork Brock Lesnar Guy or whatever his fucking name is and frank the clown almost ruined it for me. Almost. Great to see Punk back, he looks rejuvenated.

Is there going to be a major announcement as well as Punk tonight? Kind of feels like there will be.

AEW has such a stacked roster at the minute, then you add in Punk and Dragon. THEN you add in whoever’s coming from Impact and New Japan, can Bray, Cole or Flair add anything that’s not already there? I feel once Danielson is in they should shut the door for a while.

It’s a great problem to have but I can imagine that Tony Khan and co. are having a hard time trying to figure how to fit 2 major debuts AND build towards a PPV in the space of a month. If only Punk and Cabana were still buds Colt could come out next week and say something like “my pal from Chicago says he’ll see you in the ring August 20th blah blah blah” but I have no idea how they can continue the wink-wink nudge-nudge game without name dropping him this Wednesday or the following. EDIT; I also think if they do announce Punk beforehand then we definitely get a surprise Danielson run-in at All Out

Think I read somewhere that they are all 80 mins long.
