Most looking forward to Hangman Adam Page vs. Wheeler Yuta and Jamie Hayter vs. Emi Sakura.

With Emi Sakura's appearance on Rampage tonight, it's her first televised non Dark/Elevation appearance since 12/11/19's Dynamite against Big Swole.

she was in the All Out 2021 Casino Battle Royale which happened after, but that wasn't weekly TV

Some quietly good looking stuff here. I'm excited for Taylor to get the hometown pop and for Danhausen to interact with Singh or Jarrett. Plus Emi gets a chance to shine against someone who gets what she can do, all aspects of it, so you know it's going to be hard-hitting and fun. I am kind of dreading Page vs Yuta but there's an easy solution for that.

I for one am  looking forward to The Queen v The Hoss. Such a match could be be career threatingly violent, possibly even life threateningly violent but who wants to live for ever when love must die? Don't expect the match to be stopped for injury cause no matter what The Show must go on! And if either woman is trapped in a submission hold they'll want to be break free!

Never Saw Emi when she wrestled in Japan... but now She's here! In AEW

This was such a great episode for AEW hipsters. YUTA! Chuck Taylor! Jeff Jarrett! Emi Sakura! The deep cuts brought it tonight. This episode started with a Hangman bombfest but still seemed to build up in tension match-to-match. Actually one of my fave Rampages ever.

There was some excellent camera work during the opener, particularly when Yuta came flying into the frame on that dive. In my opinion an avalanche Death Valley driver might be better used as a match-ender than a mid-match highspot, but I am old. Maybe that's also why I'd prefer not to lump Eddie Kingston in with HOB? Although possibly I'd still hate that if I was young. I enjoyed the classic ukulele based prowrestling psychology BECAUSE I am old. So it's not all downside. I also had a very nice pee during that match. And I was done in time to enjoy a bit of Satnam's shtick and Jericho's commentary. And that dumb, shitty finish! His name is Mudd! I enjoy a good squash. Swerve vs Dustin! Oh, baby! YES! THE QUEEN GETS THE MAIN EVENT! As is only right. Isn't it nice to have extremely high expectations for a match and then to have those expectations met? (It really is).

RAMPAGE!  I love that Wheeler is wrestling this like Pure Rules match!  Hangman Page is the first to punch someone in the face. Hangman hits his offense and it's all good!  They did the great camera trick of Wheeler Yuta flying into the shot and it looks all awesome and and shit!  Tiger Driver by Hangman! Yuta has a hot comeback!  NICE Toprope DEATH VALLEY DRIVER! By Hangman!  FOR TWO!  Hangman does the famous BattlARTS finish but with German Suplexes instead of Dragon Suplex!  This match is great!  Yuta revereses into his own German Suplexes and THEN  YUTA HITS A GERMAN ON THE APRON and then HITS A FUCKING RELEASED GERMAN ON THE FLOOR!  This match is fucking GREAT.  Yuta counters the Buckshot Lariat!  Hangman hits a ROARING ELBOW!  HANGMAN HITS A BUCKSHOT LARIAT!  Hangman pulls him up to hit him with a Death Rider!  HELL YEAH!  THAT WAS QUALITY WRESTLING!  MOX/ Hangman 3 is going to rock!  It's Jeff Jarrett, Jay Lethal and Satnam Singh!  It's Chuck Taylor, Trent Barretta and Danhausen!  The fuckery begins early as Jeff Jarrett just HARVESTS heel heat!  Jarrett hits TOTAL Memphis punches.  Danhausen is fun beating on Jarrett.  Satnum holds up his end by forcing Trent into the sympathetic babyface role.  In picture in picture, Jarrett hits a totally sweet Murdoch Elbow off the apron.  I love that Satnam is getting more ringtime.  Chuck Taylor is OVER in Kentucky! Satnam and Danhausen and THEN all KINDS of insanity breaks loose.  Danhausen grabs a guitar!  Satnam gets his neck rung across the top rope THREE times!  Sonjay Dutt gets knocked out by Orange Cassidy!  The goofiest POSSIBLE finish is what they shoot for- as Jeff Jarrett hits Danhausen with his own UKULELI!  Well, that was a hoot!  And Taylor isn't big enough to get the hometown win, but he did get a bunch of his stuff in. That was great!   I can completely get into Dustin Rhodes versus Shane Strickland.  Ruby Soho is starting her own stable, I'm guessing- as AEW Women goes total STARDOM.  EMI is flanked by STEAMPUNK MEI SURUGA and BAILLI AKKI.  OH MAN! This match is SO FUCKING AWESOME.  Jamie is selling EVERYTHING like total fucking DEATH.  EMI is fucking awesome, laying it in but she is in with Jamie Hayter so it would actually be hilarious if someone tried to work light with her.  JESUS FUCKING CHRIST!  HAYTER IS THE STIFFEST WRESTLER ON EARTH! EMI is blood red about the chest and she is fucking AWESOME on her last comeback.  This is the GUNTHER SHEAMUS of the new year. This is a TOTAL Akira Hokuto match.  HOLY SHIT!  THAT WAS FUCKING AWESOME.  HOLY FUCK DOES AEW RULE THE MOTHERFUCKING WORLD!

MAAAN!  I total forgot that I was chanting PEE! GORDLOW! PEE!.  So now-  PEE!  GORDLOW!! PEE!

Didn't care for Hangman/Yuta much at all, and Yuta's my boy. They just didn't seem to gel. Hangman pretty much no-selling landing on his face on the floor from a release German didn't help at all.

The six-man was a good larf. More Singh is what's needed around these parts. The ukelele (and especially Singh thinking about how to break it after he snapped the neck) was a great addition as was Danhausen chopping him in the belly. You gotta give Jay credit for going out there after the match with Mark, keeping his composure, and having another bout in the ring.

I didn't know Emi was the Freddie Mercury imitator that sucked it hard from before; here she was just EVIL JOSHI STIFFNESS QUEEN. What a nasty little match. I've got to see the International Feed to hear those chops. Whodathunk the best two matches of the week in AEW would both be women's matches? It really seems the division is turning the corner at long last. Now if we can only get Abadon on my TV again...

German Suplex on apron followed with German release on the floor along with an avalanche DVD from the top rope.

See, there you go. All that shit and Hangmin just goes back on offense. Yuta having his kind of match was not a good idea; Page getting wrapped into pretzels but surviving through his bombs would have been a better way to work it.

EDIT: Also count me as one who wanted the AVALANCHE DVD to finish the/any match instead of be a 2 count.

Great match from Jamie Hayter and Emi Sakura.

1) I think I'm gonna start calling her Emi SAKURABA. Good Lord.

2) "Those are heavy hands, ladies and gentlemen, take it from me..." - Good Ole

     Uh. How does JR have first-hand knowledge of how hard Emi Sakuraba hits? 

 Oh geez.

I thought about it for a minute and it took me to a dark place. Maybe don't think about it.

If Gordi and I agree, it’s the truth.

Agreed. Avalanche moves like that should end the match.
