JLowe Posted May 9, 2023 Posted May 9, 2023 For BCC v. Elite, are we thinking Adam Page as the 4th member of the Elite? 1

I think Takeshita will be a victim of yet another BCC attack to take him out of the running, unless this turns into 5-on-5 somehow? I wouldn't mind that, either! 1

I can't believe I forgot that Lard Lad is now Elite-adjacent.

Takeshita turns and joins the BCC, Hangman makes the save but is beat down 5 to 1. Going into the PPV, it’s Anarchy in the Arena but it’s 5v4! Who is the mystery partner? Will there be one? Kenny needs his holes filled apparently! ENTER IBUSHI. He jumps off very high things all through the match! The following week on Dynamite we get Danielson & Mox vs The Golden Lovers. 5
AxB Posted May 9, 2023 Posted May 9, 2023 I saw a similar idea, only for Wembley. Ospreay & Cobb vs Kenny Omega and a mystery partner. 1
The Natural Posted May 12, 2023 Posted May 12, 2023 Four Pillars does little for me as a main event and I have fuck all interest in Chris Jericho vs. Adam Cole. Looks like I'll need Anarchy in the Arena II. I say that but remember Bryan got fucking injured through it missing Blood & Guts and Zack Sabre Jr at AEW X NJPW Forbidden Door 2022. 1
Brandon Bones Posted May 12, 2023 Posted May 12, 2023 I’ve been waiting a long time for Swerve/Lee. Even longer for a big Christian match. I’m also going to bet that even if the week to week build of the 4 Way doesn’t impress you… The match most certainly will. Barring a random bum out legit injury. This match is going to rule all the butts. I also like how unlike any other typical championship program it is. It’s coloring outside the lines of established main event formula with 4 dudes who have been prepped for this scenario since the beginning. This is the pay off to the entire concept of the new company/fresh original talent pillars thing. What if they ALL walk out made men? Even fantasy booking would have to recognize that’s a tall order. I admit. But AEW does like keeping a high bar on quality. 2
The Natural Posted May 13, 2023 Posted May 13, 2023 Think I might save the money from this and use it on AEW X NJPW Forbidden Door 2023 which was the best wrestling show last year. 3

I haven’t missed an aew ppv and I’m not ready to start, but I could easily live without this show. Looking forward to whatever the bcc vs elite violence is, and the tag match with briscoe as ref sounds like a lot of fun. The show is going to end up entertaining with a bunch of great wrestling on it so I’m not worried about that. But I couldn’t care less about anyone in the main event, and most of the other speculated matches aren’t doing much for me. Hopefully there’s a few fun surprise matches that aren’t obvious right now. 2
Gordi the BJW fan Posted May 13, 2023 Posted May 13, 2023 (edited) That there main event? 'Taint nothin' but a dang pillar fight! Edited May 13, 2023 by Gordlow 3 7

matt925 Posted May 13, 2023 Posted May 13, 2023 Also, I went to double or nothing 1. I had tickets for double or nothing 2 with my lapsed fan friend, but then covid happened. And I went to double or nothing 4. The fact that revolution just happened in my backyard complicates things. It would’ve taken a really special card with a huge dream match to make me go out again with the higher holiday travel prices. But attendance is down and I’m a big time fan and I’m not going this year. It says something. Yet the same thing happened after I traveled to SoCal the first two times new japan came here. By the third time I was like eh, I can wait for them to come to me. The novelty does wear off even though you’re guaranteed to get a high quality show. At this point I just need a stardom show. I will absolutely go to LA for that. 1
The Natural Posted May 18, 2023 Posted May 18, 2023 (edited) Nervous for Elite vs. BCC Anarchy in the Arena II with how the first injured Bryan Danielson, really liking Jamie Hayter vs. Toni Storm II as their AEW Full Gear 2022 match is one of the best AEW matches ever and Christian Cage in a Ladder match vs. Wardlow. Still on the fence whether I order as these are the only matches I care for so I might just do what I said, save my money for AEW X NJPW Forbidden Door next month and see this at a later date.

TheVileOne Posted May 18, 2023 Posted May 18, 2023 Less than two weeks to go and they’ve failed to really beef up this card.
Nice Guy Eddie Posted May 18, 2023 Posted May 18, 2023 I hope the House of Black vs. The Acclaimed & Daddy Ass gets added to the card. 2
Matt D Posted May 18, 2023 Posted May 18, 2023 Matches coming out of Rampage: Spoiler Jade vs Taya II Matt/Jeff/Kassidy vs Gunns/Ethan Page 2
TheVileOne Posted May 18, 2023 Posted May 18, 2023 (edited) Edit wrong thread. Edited May 18, 2023 by TheVileOne
The Natural Posted May 19, 2023 Posted May 19, 2023 (edited) Just realized this will be the first time Bryan Danielson and Kenny Omega will have wrestled since... AEW Dynamite Grand Slam, 22nd September 2021. A ***** match. The 2021 MOTY. To me, it's still the best match in AEW history. Edited May 19, 2023 by The Natural 3
zendragon Posted May 19, 2023 Posted May 19, 2023 Thinking which way do we go here Jamie Hayter retains so she can head into Wembley as champ OR Tony wins so we get a rematch where Hayter wins the title back at Wembley?
elizium Posted May 19, 2023 Posted May 19, 2023 (edited) I think Jamie retains, because I would be shocked if Saraya is not in the title match at Wembley. Edited May 19, 2023 by elizium 3
zendragon Posted May 19, 2023 Posted May 19, 2023 I still want Emi doing a tribute to Freddie at Live Aid 5
zendragon Posted May 19, 2023 Posted May 19, 2023 Maybe she can do a mixed tag with dalton and he can wear checker board tights , as I hear he’s also a queen fan 1
