  1. I've never understood caring about ratings and discussing it in depth as a fan, I want the show I like to be successful to make sure it keeps going but apart from that I could give zero fucks.
  2. Has there been any word of Naito being involved in this show in anyway? I kinda stopped following NJPW after the title went from Ibushi to Osprey and then the whole company seemed cursed, so not sure what he’s up to at the moment. But he still seemed to be at or near the top of the company when I left.
  3. What I like in AEW is that its always pretty logical when random people team up, they always try to set it up with at least a small segment or something specific happening in a match. They almost never pair random people up for no reason on the main shows. Its not just good guys randomly helping each other cuz they’re good guys. Trent and FTR started teaming up because the NJ guys messed up their tag match against each other which pissed them off. Enter OC now who is Trent’s friend so makes sense he’s involved too. BCC started helping Eddie because he and Mox are still pals and they’re all about wrestling and hate sports entertainers. But they’re not all buddy buddy and Eddie and Bryan are on the verge of kicking the shit out of each other at any given time.
  4. Well that main event was awesome and TLC levels of crazy, loved it and they went 100% all out on a free TV match which is not often seen in this hardcore matches. Christian’s heel turn came out great and like a genuine violent outburst, not a lot of posing or stalling just violent and angry, good stuff.
  5. Currently watching the show and just stopped to post how damn enjoyable the Dax/Ospreay match is right now. Some just click together so well. And now I really want a OC vs Ospreay match, who knew?
  6. I don't know what the fuck is going on with Ospray's face in that match graphic. I'd have no idea it was him if you removed his name from it.
  7. If Jeff ever comes back to TV it should be for one retirement tag match and that's it, anything else would be a bad decision by everyone involved imo. The guy has been absolutely done for a few months, not even taking this latest arrest into account. I think I've mentioned it since his return, but you can tell the guy is in absolute pain just breathing and casually walking in and out of the ring, can't imagine what Swantoning the ring steps is doing to his body and mind.
  8. I hope TK comes out and just throws Hookhausen in there right before the match starts like when the Hardys re-debuted in WWE last time. They dont have to win, just make the crowd happy.
  9. Zack Sabre Jr. has been one of the highlights of NJPW for the past few years. He’s one of the most realistic dickeads in the ring, not trying to come off as EVIL but just looking like a total douchebag that really finds it hilarious to be an asshole. He also forces his opponents to get out of their comfort zone match wise (and get into his comfort zone I guess) which makes for unique matches. One of my favourite moments watching live was when he beat Okada here in the UK. He did a bridging roll up and flipped us off as he was doing it and the crowd reaction was incredible.
  10. “What’s a babyface?” one of the best Eddie lines on Dynamite.
  11. One of the reasons I've never liked Ospray is exactly that. I remember seeing him in person a lot before and after smaller shows here in the UK before he started making it big and he always gave me that douchebag vibe in real life.
  12. Turning the Ass Boys heel and now pairing them with The Acclaimed have low key being two of the best booking decisions they've made in the past year or so. Perfect lower/mid card group.
  13. Gotta say I’ve liked the Doctor Who vibe they chose to give this PPV in terms of graphic design
  14. That Statlander-Velvet was the definition of a banger, perfect length excellent stuff. I hope Jade gets done with Athena soon so that Statlander can rightfully take the title, she’s been my favourite woman in AEW since day 1. Big props to Velvet too who was extremely cringey when she first came in but has really turned it around with her heel turn.
  15. As a South American metalhead, thanks for this.
  16. Just an awesome night of wrestling all around. Loved the Battle Royale, AEW always manages to book these to be entertaining top to bottom. It helps that pretty much the whole roster is over with the crowd so we're invested in every little moment from the Ass Boys to the finish. Unpredictable winner which is always nice. For a second I thought Darby/Swerve were making a pretty awesome team but between eliminating Lee and Darby it looks like Swerve will be going heel soon. And he was much more interesting in this match acting like a dick than his entire run so far IMO. All Atlantic belt? Is there any sort of definition of what this is? Going from the bracket it seems to be aimed at non-USA guys so is that an official thing? Meh, no idea why we needed another singles belt. Logically, why would anyone ever aim for the TV or All Atlantic belts when they're clearly below the world title? It's never made sense to me. It's one of the reasons I'm happy NJPW got rid of the IC Belt, you can try to present belts as equal but we all know which one really is the big one. I know Mox/Tanahashi is a much more logical big match for the PPV but I wish they could have used this opportunity to throw someone completely new into the mix even if just for a little while until Punk comes back. Give someone a big match out of nowhere for a change. Okada/Hangman FUCK YEAH
  17. This was such a good title run, he had amazing matches against Danielson, Cesaro, Albright, Shingo and Nigel. I watched them son DVD so much back in the day. 2004 - 2008 ROH was such an amazing run.
  18. I wonder if Punk broke his foot during his Dynamite entrance when he jumped into the crowd, looked like he hit the rail and was limping right after. He just have felt like such an idiot if that was it ?
  19. I’m happy we’re getting Hangman vs Okada. He just lost the belt and he can’t go down the pecking order too much if he’s meant to be the face of the company for years to come, a big match is a good thing and we know it’s gonna rule.
  20. Anyone knows what kinda shape God is in? Not seen a match of his since around 2006. Nice little touch about the MJF thing, the announcers acted like it never happened when they came back from the break and as if the last segment had been the opening match. It was also never referenced again for the rest of the night.
  21. Loved the set/stage, it looked compact, sleek and just awesome. I hope it’s the new one moving forward and not just a one night thing because it’s the best one they’ve done.
  22. New stage starting from tonight? It could certainly use a little face lift
  23. Believe in your dream man, I posted here that I wanted him to face Hangman and it happened a week later.
  24. I have a hard time picturing it because I’ve seen Cole being a heel for pretty much an entire decade now but it would be refreshing. The internet has exposed him as the nicest of guys and I wonder how that would translate to his character. Would people not cheer him as much because he loses his “coolness” or are we in the woke era where being a good person is actually cool?
  25. Interesting contrast to Wardlow since they filled the same role in their respective groups but Hager is 100% loyal to Jericho and I don’t remember a single time in 3 years where they’ve teased any tension between them or any disrespect from Jericho to Jake and I don’t think they ever will.
