Lmao, if FTR asked for their releases after being highlighted so much this past year...
Miro and Andrade I would not be surprised by. Tony clearly has His Guys he trusts and believes in and Andrade is not one of them. Why isn't Rampage the Andrade and Miro show? Is Miro even in the battle royale? Wtf is going on here with those two? And no I will not stop banging that drum. Two of the most talented guys in the world afterthoughts.
Buddy does nothing for me so I'd be fine if he walked. Joe's been doing work on Twisted Metal.
Read that very recently Saraya hadn't been cleared. If she still hasn't why sign her when women who can wrestle barely get any tv time as is? So many mind boggling decisions the past year that aren't being corrected like they were in the first 2 years.

This might be the most WTF suspension ever. A whole year? Why not just fire him?
They might yet.

Does the contract freeze if you're out for injury? I mean he would have basically spent an entire year almost of that two years on the shelf.
I've been reading that Khan could extend Omega's contract until October '23 due to injuries but I forget from whom.

This, the Gallo injury, and Robert Williams getting knee surgery gotta knock some of that post-finals shine off for Celtics fans.
Damn, sucks to suck.

Snagged four tickets for the Seattle Dynamite. I wonder if Rampage is in Vancouver, Tacoma, Portland, or somewhere else?

I hope I'm wrong but I don't think the Acclaimed momentum is sustainable. I'm sure they'll be over in a few months but not like this.

Was having issues with next page working on a laptop for the first time. Had only been an issue on my phone previously.

They did it again with the pre tournament angle spoiling the final result. MJF talked way too much shit on Mox's name for it not to be Mox either. I still do want to see Danielson as champ whether he bloody well likes it or not but it definitely feels like if not now, when?
Matches were all good but nothing amazing but it didn't really matter because the crowd elevated everything to feel really important. That Saraya pop was surreal. If she can go like she could back in the day that's a great pickup. If you can't get Sasha, Saraya is just about the next best thing.
They must stop with the production style. It's poison. Fuck off.

Seconded. He wrestles so infrequently, it actually kind of has a small-scale version of that Piper or Andre "attraction" feel when he does, which helps elevate things - and speaking directly to your point, I'd 100% put the Darby and Punk matches up there with just about anything else with a handful of exceptions.
Jungle Boy from a couple years back really showed what was to come too. The six man tag vs. Punk, Sting, Darby is another great one and not just because of the babyface aesthetics. The Wardlow match was also exactly what it should've been after that build. The perfect payoff to years of frustration, manipulation, and avoidance. It would've been real easy for him to argue for a competitive match to protect himself.

He's had some of the best matches in the company's short history too.

Dude basically called out Khan for not upholding his promises and for the company leaking his mental health status to Fightful 'n' co. I don't see him coming back.

I'm expecting a pretty bad CAW suite so I'll wait and see.

A person's thoughts in a long thread on Fight Forever after playing it recently.

Then the cut happened.

Song doing way better than I expected. He looks phenomenal, a complete stud.

Hasn't attendance kinda dipped in Chicago? Still obviously their best market but sure seems like it's oversaturated to me.
Fightful just sent an update saying Chase Center is another option for Revolution in San Francisco.

Also some evidence of catching springboard counters and flash roll ups as ground counters
Those were my big positive takeaways. Really felt a lot of No Mercy throughout with the pacing of Hctp. It's pretty much what we asked for. I would like to see matches run a little longer and for it to be tougher to land big grapples early but the core gameplay looks great. To this day I don't think there's a wrestling game that does high flying better than VPW2. We saw some nice springboards in the Punk/Omega match.

With a roster as large and talented as AEW's there shouldn't be time for a guy like Kip.
If you lose Penelope as a result of that, oh well I guess.

Fightful says tentative plan for Revolution location is the Cow Palace. Saw the G1 special there and loved it.

She's Cuban, don't let her hear you say that!!!
Homicide got a monster pop last year, so maybe the idea is that she will too by association since they were in LAX together with Santana/Ortiz?
Edit: and are area guys
Eeeeh, apologies! Rest of my point stands!

I barely remember them tbh but one of the results seemed ludicrous (I think the draw) and one seemed like it could've gone either way.
Still, I don't understand your hatred for Saul Alvarez. He's a great boxer who likely ate a tainted steak that resulted in him getting popped. Is it because he's the new golden boy of Mexican boxing and gets favourable treatment? Dude fights well and seems like a decent person. Neither guy is peaking right now but I imagine Canelo takes this as his recent loss was more a result of finding out after fucking around at a weight class his frame probably can't carry him through, whereas Golovkin has shown flashes of his prime form but definitely looks to have lost a step. The nice thing about Alvarez is he is far from a perfect fighter and even in some of his recent wins he was getting out boxed. Should be fun!

As usual, I only saw bits of the show as I was busy. Wrestling seemed perfectly fine. Liked what I saw of Matt and Darby, particularly. Crippled heavy hitter Matt Hardy is probably second only to tlc tag Matt Hardy. I appreciate the effort he put in and couldn't believe he attempted a moonsault. Darby the most consistent wrestler in the company.
Regarding grand slam stuff:
If Miro doesn't win the battle royal I am canceling my aew network subscription.
Don't love Hobbs and Starks going 50/50 but I guess they gotta do it after the match they had at the ppv.
Aew has so much talent that even when they seemingly throw together a random card with little build it'll deliver but it does feel like it's operating at about half of what it could be. Jade vs. Diamante? What have i done to deserve this? Jade needs some help and you put her in there with Diamante. Who is in the worst aew match I've seen (that hardcore match with Swole) and not good and practically unknown. What the fuck? Are they expecting her to be over because Puerto Rican heritage like she's Pedro?
Save us, Action Bronson! That and the tag titles are what I'm looking forward to the most. I love Danielson but think he can underdeliver in big matches and doesn't have the long list of high end GOAT contenders that somebody with his resume and ability should have. Add to that, the super disappointing match from Revolution those two had and I'll hope this is a big improvement but I'm not excited for it.
What a difference a year makes. Feel like AEW peaked (for now) with last year's Grand Slam with 20k molten hot for Danielson vs. Omega and the excitement for what was to come with Punk and Danielson added to the mix. Now it feels like a rebuild mode trying to right the ship.

AEW - SEPTEMBER 2022
in ALL ELITE WRESTLING
Posted
They are belt marks so Tony gave them all the belts. Dax is consistently highlighted on television in marquee singles matches. How long would a sufficient aew tag title run be? Not even the young bucks get featured like this when they aren't in the title hunt. I'm over ftr by a long shot. Nobody is a bigger mark for them than themselves. Let them go wrestle the Usos 100 times over the next two years and be 10 time tag champs.
