    AEW TV - 4/24 - 4/30/2024 - Who's House? Gunn's House!

    Did I watch the show? No

    Did I look up some GIFs? Yes.

    What the fuck happened?

    Alex “I need the Scoop” Marvez is a National Treasure

    That transition from the IWGP logo to the belt was a nice cut

    So was that a multi man match or are you just happy to see me?

    lol at Jungle Boy’s gut punch to Tony

    Did Mercedes do more than her away dance this time? Only saw Willow’s perspective. Oh, nvm, I saw the slap. She say stuff too?

    SHAD THE DAD!

    Was this a zany episode?

    If TK is derped out, instead of heel EVP’s being authorities, have Shad the Dad bring in someone to be the on screen President of Match Making. Arn? Jerry Lynn? Dasha?

    AEW is weird.

    Interesting and I enjoy meditating on the crowd response. A match like this I’ll need to watch again to give actual thoughts outside of gut feelings. Maybe in a month or so when it is on a sneaky peaky upload. During it, I very much felt that the immense pandemonium improved my experience. I don’t think the attack off the apron was missed as much as it was like when I’m doing “THE CLAW” with lil Octopus and he is uncontrollably squeamishly giggling because of all the fun surrounding “THE CLAW” which include powerbombs on the couch and piggyback rides. You very well might be onto something, but what you were talking about as a negative I very much resonated. 
    Great comparison to RVD vs Benoit. That made me appreciate this match more and if I got what I thought would be nice on paper, maybe would have been less happy.

    This match was maybe the best possible outcome of the two being opponents. If it was more ~Ospreay~ then I’d likely be less thrilled, if it was more 🇺🇸🐉 then it would have had less exciting for the fan of the modern style. This match was a very tasty Arnold Palmer.

    My read on the sell was that we're likely building to a rematch where Bryan sneaks by because Ospreay isn't as vicious as he was here, and second guesses himself to avoid inflicting such a "serious injury" again - think back to that NXT title match with Sami Zayn and PAC where Zayn almost cost himself because he wouldn't stoop to PAC's level and crack him with the title and hesitated - something along those lines

    Or Danielson wins by using the Tiger Driver 91 on him 😈 setting up the rubber match at Double or Nothing or [insert whatever here]

    I was totally ok with the selling at the end of the Danielson match. I totally get why other’s wouldn’t though, so everyone is ok to think whatever they like and have respected feelings. I find the storyline a tad off with it kayfabe continuing in the press conference (mainly it makes Bryce look bad not stopping it well), but using that to retire the move is pretty cool. I’m interested to see where they go from here. 

    As a match it was very exciting. It’s being hyped as the Greatest Match Ever by some which I respect. A little too big move continuance for me to put it at that level. When I do my cute little lists I like to nitpick for a while before landing on that. BUT, the big moments which visually exceptional and extremely exciting. I also loved little moments like them both going for a single leg takedown and things of that nature. I’ll have to watch it again to appreciate all of the nuances. I expect super rating from Big Dave.

    The Danielson hyper realistic selling has got to a spot where it didn’t ruin the match. But if he actually ever gets hurt I won’t believe it. So there’s that. Best Ospreay match I’ve seen so far. I’m not big into that style of super moves not ending things and leading to pandemonium, but boy this was exquisitely fun. I had a blast and this lived up to everything that was hyped. If this doesn’t break Meltzer’s scale then it confirms other people are snitches.

    Swerve is going to be a good champ. His character really is something special with the fans. Good job Joe saving this company and being a legitimate badass to beat.

    Bucks vs FTR had a hard job of following Danielson vs Ospreay. But they really got me back into the show after I wiped off my belly. They were probably the only people in that type of match that could do it.

    The 6 man was fun. I loved it. 

    Opener was fantastic. Glad to see prick OkadAEW and PAC getting heavily cheered after the match. 

    YAY WILLOW! 

    Toni Storm vs Thunder Rosa was really good. I hope we see more of this but I could see Toni going to the next challenger.

    lol Jericho vs Hook made me naughty smile. Good stuff.

    I saw Wardlow got in a car accident so seeing him show up actually made me happy.

    Also,  has there ever been a duel like finish like the one we had with Danielson/Ospreay?   I think it's the first time I've ever seen two wrestlers charge at each other like the opening to the X-Men cartoon and try to beat each other to the punch with their best move.... Holy shit

    Didn't we already get Danielson/Sabre?

    In theory, in recent times they had the AEW match and the New Japan match, it would be neat to see the rubber match in England. Personally, I’m in the McGuiness camp and think if they did a third (or 5th over all?!) then an Indy UK match would be super cool. OR overall I think they fought in England, Germany, USA, and Japan. They should do a different company…UGANDA!!!!!
