I just went through all the AEW World title matches on Cagematch for fun. I might be super in the minority but this Danielson run is something I’m very high on. Had a defining and consistent story and character throughout. References and matches with the future, present, and past. It had what will likely be some of my all time favorite moments (All In win, bag over head, and the Nigel match). Also, it set the big story up for the next chapter of AEW. This was more than the restoring moral reigns of Mox and Joe. And even though specific moments I would have wished differently, it was much more consisten in story and didn’t over stay it’s welcome than MJF. Hangman’s was underrated but people say it failed to capture the excitement post-build whereas this created stories. Maybe I’ll do a cute reign ranking and be cute later. With how much pain it sounds like Danielson was in, being able to ride all this out is very impressive.

Neo Nazi’s ruined cool Norse stuff too. You have to be really nerdy to pull it off now and that’s tough for me being so fucking cool.

Did somebody say EVIL?

How was the Beast Mortos match?

I like Mox, but he’s super unorthodox in how he moves and has a swagger to him that is pretty defining. I really enjoy him but I can see why people are put off by him. All is fair in love and internet wrestling forums.

Only watched the main. I’ll try and go back for hyped matches when I have time. I loved it. The match made sense. Mox was a bully attacking early and the entire match he was targeting the neck. Danielson was pumping the crowd up like Daniel Bryan. Shafir played her roll perfectly. It was a fun match and a great ending note to what was a short but personally emotionally noteworthy title run. With the idea that Danielson likely really needs surgery, I like this outcome the most, even if I would have fantasy done something different. Darby will overcome the Mox monster and the Pacpool Combat Club at Quake by the Lake 2. I like Mox, so as people that don’t I totally understand not being pro this move. I thought it was the right move. Doesn’t mean they won’t screw up the future moves though lol If Darby beat a broken Danielson it wouldn’t have meant as much than if Danielson’s gimmick wasn’t legend on his last legs that has the heart to fight through. Plus, the amount of crazy dives that Danielson would super sell would have given us heart attacks and ruin the match for half of you. Darby beating Mox while both are bloody will win over even the Mox-haters. Especially after overcoming a character defining setback of losing the title contender-ship.

I can’t wait for Hungarian D’Lo Brown

Give me Gayne vs Blue Kane.

Started watching late. Neat to see the Private Party got their groove back. I absolutely loved Danielson vs Okada. I loved the ending for it being for tv. Okada looks strong, Danielson still looks like a champ, Mox and the gang looks tough and mean, Yuta looks like a big deal to end their 5th year anniversary show. I’ll probably go back and watch the matches you guys hyped up but maybe not the full ep? Idk, I’m busy.

Honor the contracts you give out. If the money is there (which it looks like it is) having a deep bench is fine. Snarky posts about people being paid by a company you have no idea what their finances are like is pretty shitty posting.

The Four Pillars were the original Cheetah Girls

I’m excited now they got something to make up for and prove.

I like the direction the world title scene is going, or at least oddly enough trust the process. Give me Darby learning to be ready to be champion. He lost to Jungle Teen and now MoxBully. Have him down on his luck and then learn a new move like the Darbinizer or the AllinSlam. He spanks Perry and then avenges himself from Mox. Whether that is when he wins the title or against Danielson. As for which Danielson match I’d prefer, even though we didn’t get Danielson vs Darby, I don’t think I could handle Darby’s dives at Bryan. Lol. I remember really liking the Revolution match between Mox and Dragon

Remember when you showed me that Deathmatch event and the ring was literally brown from blood? Lol

Maybe he is taken out by Mox and avenged by the mysterious masked wrestler, the Vegan Rider.

I feel very much the same way, but in a way that it oddly works. Danielson being beaten up and returning from betrayal gives Nigel a chance. This is merely a stop for Bryan and the world for Nigel, which sadly parallels their rivalry and their careers. McGuinness falls short in his one chance where his odds will at most he in his favor, in a nearly one sided long build of overt jabs and insults. Danielson is champion. Danielson had the WWE run. Danielson was still on tv during his forced retirement. Danielson is called the greatest. Danielson has more rivals ahead. Danielson wins. Nigel is a commentator. Nigel didn’t accomplish his dreams. Nigel had a long road to accept his position in life. Nigel is thought of as what could have been. Nigel will still only focus on Danielson. Nigel taps in the middle of the ring. Admittedly, this is all likely my own imagination waxing poetic and overly romanticizing a moment of time that truly touched me. I’ll hopefully have time to ramble on the match itself. A very fun moment.

“What is Defensive Player Of The Year doing in the Elite Zone?!”

If I ever become rich I want to see a Big Japan show with @Gordi the recovering AEW f

Mission Accomplished! We got Danielson vs McGuiness. Very pumped up. It was what it needed to be. Some weaker looking strikes from Nigel but it kind of worked as he got stiffer in the end. Several moments made me wiggle. Very happy.

This is not a drill

Calamities at home. Anyone that can get me a link to Danielson vs McGuinness will get all the riches in Scotland.

I shall wear the wank with pride.

I’m pro wanker

Gal bought me drinks. Gotta break a heart or two. Nbd. Tough bein cute.
