Casey Posted June 25, 2023 Posted June 25, 2023 I know, right? Last year’s show sucked and felt like it took 10 hours! It wasn’t one of the best shows of the year or anything with a comparable amount of matches. 2 3
Matt D Posted June 25, 2023 Posted June 25, 2023 I, for one, welcome a massive pre-show with random Stu matches. The weirdo matches are the point! 8 1
John from Cincinnati Posted June 25, 2023 Posted June 25, 2023 I’ve come to accept that I’m just gonna watch most of these things in chunks to avoid burning out, possibly out of order. Tony’s gonna Tony, it isn’t worth the energy to fight on the too much stuff front. 1
COLETTI Posted June 25, 2023 Posted June 25, 2023 Fuck that, let Roddy Strong sub in for Cole and give us a BANGER. 8 1

Last year was an extremely cursed show with injuries and orher BS and turned into one of the best shows last year This is probably the only issue so far. Well except for KENTA
elizium Posted June 25, 2023 Posted June 25, 2023 Just have Filthy Tom come out and say that Adam Cole saw him walking around backstage in his short shorts and got scared. 3
Niners Fan in CT Posted June 25, 2023 Posted June 25, 2023 I'm fine with that, there are a couple throwaway matches that I am not too interested in but otherwise the card is fucking stacked and we are ordering it. Can't wait.

elizium Posted June 25, 2023 Posted June 25, 2023 If Adam Cole can't go then Karate Man needs to step up and get his revenge for being murdered twice by Filthy Tom 1
SirFozzie Posted June 25, 2023 Posted June 25, 2023 I found my internal testicular fortitude (tm Mick Foley) and bought the movie theater tickets, about 15 sold so let's see 7
NoFistsJustFlips Posted June 25, 2023 Posted June 25, 2023 While I think they would have had a fun match, with Cole out I get not replacing him. 14 matches is a lot. The main reason for the match (Cole) isn't cleared, we kinda don't need a match from a NJPW Strong wrestler who has had 2 minutes total of TV time on AEW's C show. Filthy Tom vs Roderick Strong would be DOPE. But not when you have 13 more matches and there isn't really a need for this match (and in honesty addition by subtraction means a whole lot more than stuffing Roddy on would), then yeah I think this is the right move. Most looking forward to the two main events, El Phantasmo vs Stu, & seeing if MJF can carry Tanahashi to something fun. Listen Tanahashi is a legend and deserves his flowers. But he's basically Wrestlemania 17 Iron Sheik immobile out there and it makes me sad. That's not how he deserves to be remembered. He should be limited to a Sting role whee he's in tags and doesnt have to sprint or work main event style alone for 20+ minutes anymore. 3
Lawful Metal Posted June 25, 2023 Posted June 25, 2023 Well, Lawful Jr and I are at the theater and looks like there’s maybe a handful of other people here but this is a big big screen and probably gonna be pretty awesome. never quite caught up and I have no idea what the card looks like beyond Okada / Brian and Kenny / Ospreay so we’ll see. Hopefully no Adam Cole match 2
Matt D Posted June 25, 2023 Posted June 25, 2023 They replaced Cole with Serpentico which is probably the biggest upgrade I can imagine quality-wise. Unfortunately, it's just a dark match.
Dolphman 3000 Posted June 25, 2023 Posted June 25, 2023 Props to Athena for protecting Billie after she either had the wind knocked out of her or broke a rib early on in their match - absolute pro 3
hammerva Posted June 25, 2023 Posted June 25, 2023 Athena has been one of the top superstars in Ring of Honor. Athena is doing Saraya way better than Saraya Speaking of ROH, seeing Stu Grayson with Righteous is strange as hell. But at least he is working regularly 2
Raziel Posted June 26, 2023 Posted June 26, 2023 Kenny can fuck off for ruining a spectatuclar for his 5 minutes of masturbation. Bryan's fake out was probably the fastest I've seen a hot crowd go ice fucking cold ever. 2
