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.

So apparently, Danielson was hurt on the Storm Driver? Is that accurate?
Kayfabe. Ospreay is a crazy good actor in the media scrum. It’s behind a paywall but I guess Fightful Select is saying it was a planned spot.

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.

Didn't they literally start a restriction or rule against doing that?
Danielson is going to fine himself so hard

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
they recreated their poster-

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!!!!!

CELEBRATION AT THE RESERVATION. THIS IS THE ONLY WAY I WILL FORGIVE YOU FOR NOT DOING QUAKE BY THE LAKE 2, TONY. NYLA VS TONI. A FLAIR FOR THE GOLD OF THE MODERN AGES AND A FUCK YOU TO BIGOTS EVERYWHERE. THEN SEND THE BCC BACK OVER TO THE STATE TO DO ELBOWS TO THE ATHLETIC COMMISSION’S NECK/SHOULDER AREA.

Oklahoma is a fucking joke. Fuck their governor. Keep fucking censuring lawmakers and give half hearted “it’s a tragedy” statements to fucking teens that die that don’t share your lifestyles, you dishonest whores of Babylon

Don’t tread on Nyla, you corrupt bigoted fucks. Stay out of wrestling. Grow a heart, you 2056 shamed and regretful mother fuckers. May the non-binary Holy Spirit rightfully tie you to the spokes of eternal torment as your ancestors denounce you.

Considering I have met him, and my mom like Mrs Wayne is a widow that really cracked me up. Thank you for the laugh.
I’m here for four reasons:
- zingers
- to learn more to work on my never ending personal projects
- to talk about Daisuke Sekimoto grappling other dudes

I’m pro Strong vs shaggy haired guy. Roddy is likely the guy I find most interesting in that group. The will Shaggy or will Shaggy not join the group again is an ok story all things considered. Could be better but fine and will likely see some cool back breakers.

Idk if I post this here or elsewhere: if Jungle Boy becomes a super over heel for a sustained period of time, then TK was right to show the footage. I will admit being wrong. If it becomes meh, then I’m right and should become the new booker.
