  1. Awesome show as usual, my main takeaway is I just want even more ZSJ and Christian on my TV, all the time.
  2. Somewhat limited, I didn’t even consider them because the queues for every merchandise stand were just ridiculous.
  3. Looking at the current roster (and without unlikely possibilities like Edge/Christian), I think having The Acclaimed come out as surprise opponents and beating the the Bucks for the vacant titles might be the one option to keep the crowd happy. Can't see anyone in Wembley (me included) shitting on that.
  4. Yeah for the price it seems like a good deal, i rather not see the full entrance and be higher up than being way back on the floor seats. I'll make sure to wave back!
  5. Very fun show and a big step up from last week. Really appreciate Evil Uno going all out for a 10min match since he knows these type of serious singles matches come very rarely for him. He made the most of it. That first piledriver he did on Mox was BRUTAL. Starks-Jericho could have been a nothing segment but was super entertaining due to Stark playing it up any time Jericho wasn't looking at him. I was very sports entertained for those few minutes.
  6. That main event was so good and hard hitting, wasn’t expecting to enjoy it so much.
  7. I’m still watching the show but came here to mention the Avalanche Deathvalleydriver.com not being a match ender, it should become Hangman’s super finisher because it looked amazing. Glad the whole discussion has been about this. Great minds. It was a beautiful move, had that lovely “crunch” at the end.
  8. That Bandido/Dragon match was so so good. I loved how they made every move feel "heavy", as if they were always trying to dead lift the other guy into arm drags, suplexes, holds, etc. THIS is how it should always be IMO, it just added so much. Some lovely stiffness in every kick too. Have we ever had Bandido vs Hangman? I'm all for more Hangman/Bandido/Takeshita type of guys in every show please.
  9. FFS, just a couple of days ago we were discussing how young The Briscoes still are and how long we've watched them so this came out of nowhere. RIP Jay, I always thought he was one of the scariest and most intimidating looking mfers in wrestling all the way from 2007 to now.
  10. My mind is blown that they were just around 22 when they were wrestling Steen and Generico back in 2007, they definitely looked way ahead of their time. They were around Top Flight's current ages for some reference.
  11. So I thought Willow had almost killed Anna with that DVD on the apron but then she proceeded to actually murder her with that jumping powerbomb right onto the floor. Holy fucking shit, poor Anna. Tay came off great, she really sold her character here and seemed to take control of the whole match. Ruby’s crimson mask was AWESOME looking, like I was ready for her just to pull out a chainsaw near the end because she looked straight out of a horror movie when the final girl just says fuck it and destroys the villain.
  12. I kept thinking about Vince tearing both quads just sliding into the ring, I thought for sure Nick's calves or hamstrings would be absolutely destroyed after this. The speed he landed at was ridiculous.
  13. Forgot to mentioned I laughed when Daniel Garcia told Action Andretti "I remember when I was young like you, naive" while being younger than Andretti.
  14. I dont mind the offensive part, but everyhting he says lately comes off as a 12 year old thinking he's edgy: Oh look a Japanese wrestler "konichiwa, dooooo youuuu speeeeak eeeenglish?" People say I can't last an hour? "haha I had sex with your mum"
  15. Agree about keeping Cole a proper face for a while and not in the "cool heel who gets cheered" kind of way. It's interesting that he's been a cocky heel most of his career when he seems to be the sweetest and nicest guy ever outside of it. I have a hard time taking him seriously as a bad guy when he comes across as such a good person in most interviews, vlogs, etc.
  16. I liked the new guardrails, the whole overall presentation looked a bit improved today from last week which is always nice to see. Pretty awesome crowd tonight too. Loved Hangman/Mox and Takeshita/Bryan, the classic "bangers" that didn't overstay their welcome. Nice to see Hangman getting a huge reaction and a decisive no BS win. Main event was excellent but nothing we haven't seen from the Bucks/Lucha Bros a million times before. Still good stuff though and that bump from Nick Jackson from the Super Rana on the ladder was disgusting, I was sure his hamstrings or calves had exploded. Keep these teams apart for at least 2 years now please. I'm OK with Adam Cole, don't love him or hate him, but I liked the whole "call an ambulance, BUT NOT FOR ME!" promo. Toni Storm looked an unhealthy shade of orange tonight standing next to Saraya. Hager's "I'm gonna slap your face outta your face" line and Jericho's "OH SHIET" reaction to it were the best part of that whole segment. I'm over MJF , the guy just goes for the lowest, most obvious and uncreative insults every single time, It's gotten very old and I hope his reign is not too long. It's not even shocking what he says anymore if he says exactly the first thing you thought he would say every time.
  17. I think these are still the top 2 singles matches in AEW history so far. I lean towards the second one as my favourite for having an actual finish. That last Buckshot in the video you posted is so satisfying, feels heavy and the flip is slow and brutal and not flippy at all if that makes sense.
  18. The delivery ruined it, when Saraya turned her back on Shida and just started giggling with Toni like "omg i have soooooo many plans for this match tehehehe" it was so cringy.
  19. The stage is an improvement but I don't love it since it's still just a generic mash up of LED Screens. Would have been nice for them to still do the LED stuff but mixing it up with some old school scaffolding a la Nitro, I miss late 90s stages so much. I hope this one doesn't stick for a full 3 years and they improve it as they go. The announcer's desk set up does look very slick now and makes the guys look much more like something you'd see on ESPN. Surprised at the clean win from Starks, specially after it looked like the bullshit finish was inevitable with the bat shot. Happy with the result, Ricky has been getting great reactions lately and they have to keep it going. I just hope they know not to make this Jericho program last 6 months like they usually do, short and sweet please. I'm getting a bit sick of MJF's stuff already, Bryan couldn't have said it best "dude just shut up", perfect delivery. I kinda wanted Jeff/Lethal to actually win in a "OH NO THEY DIDNT" kind of way because the heat would have been NUCLEAR, but the fake out was probably better in the end to avoid a riot. Fun stuff. Main even was great, weird that Wardlow just disappeared but I'm thinking maybe they want him going over Joe without being locked in the TNT Title scene anymore? Next week's card looks fucking insase, PPV Level stuff.
  20. I think guys like Osprey and Omega bulking up is always a plus since they're still agile AF but start leaning more into the brutal violence side of things instead of the more contrived flippy side.
  21. Only caught the last 3 matches on my second monitor during work, but damn that Kenny/Ospreay match was just brutal perfection from the moment Kenny's entrance started.
