Dolfan in NYC Posted May 8 Author Share Posted May 8 For the record, I think it would be hysterical for the newly 40 year old Orange Cassidy to turn heel by going complete suburban dad. Complaining about the kids these days, his HOA's stupid regulations, and wearing polos and Dockers to wrestle in. 2 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shartnado Posted May 8 Share Posted May 8 This is last week's stuff, but did I see Jay White (and the rest of of Gang Bang Gang) come out with THREE different titles, not just the ROH and AEW Trios Titles? Did my eyes deceive me, or what have I missed? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It looks like the other set of belts is the original AEW trios belts that were used before the custom Acclaimed belts. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Since they're going all worked-shoot with this another option is they announce that they're handing the matter off to the disciplinary committee and this starts the build to Danielson/Okada III at Wembley. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good shout. Be interesting who gets Bryan Danielson at All In. I think it's one of: Nigel McGuinness. Zack Sabre Jr. Kazuchika Okada. Kenny Omega. Will Ospreay. I'm thinking it will be Nigel McGuinness and if it's not Nigel, Zack Sabre Jr. You could do Bryan Danielson vs. Will Ospreay II but it'll be Swerve Strickland vs. Will Ospreay for the AEW World Championship.

Death From Above Posted May 8 Share Posted May 8 Not going to the show tonight because doctor's appointments and general life shittiness have just overwhelmingly got in the way, but I can't imagine it's going to be a large crowd. The arena in Edmonton is beautiful but putting it smack in the middle of downtown makes actually going there a complete pain in the ass, on top of all the general "AEW doesn't actually market their next show that well" issues. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cobra Commander Posted May 9 Share Posted May 9 Things I remember from this week episode of AEW Dynamite: Orange and Trent had a match. That Orange backdrop over the rail was gnarly. The Serena promo was all sorts of personal in front of people who couldn't give a fuck about it. Then Serena knocked out Toni. Mariah May won a match. Her old friend comes back. Excalibur asked where Toni Storm was as if she didn't just get knocked out during the last segment. Kinda interesting to put Toni and Mariah in back to back segments with no interaction (they're gonna split them) Kenny Omega has an idea for a match Swerve brings his friends back. His friends immediately turn on him. Chris Jericho being intentionally delusional is more fun than his stint being unintentionally delusional Brody bleeds like a pig in a good match. Here's Mercedes Mone for some season. She's pretty obviously going heel. Kyle O'Reilly wants to wrestle Adam Copeland. The mention of Vancouver gets booed. This show is just gonna end when the fuck ever. Eddie Kingston and Danielson are in the big 8 man match. Well, that woke up the fans. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John E. Dynamite Posted May 9 Share Posted May 9 (edited) Whatever Gunn said "DEATH" had me rolling. They added that little If Rocky Wins He Gets A Trios Shot wrinkle, which not only gave the match stakes but also made the outcome SLIGHTLY less obvious. AEW has a decently big problem with their crowds being able to figure out all the match outcomes so I quite appreciate when they do stuff like that. I'm currently without cable but I assume the overrun was stalling for Inside The NBA and the end of Knicks vs. Pacers? Edited May 9 by John E.

Just Dave Posted May 9 Share Posted May 9 Pretty good show. Not sure I can suspend my disbelief enough to buy the young bucks as credible in a street fight scenario, or any scenario that goes beyond flippydoos and spot spamming, but I like everyone else in the match enough to give it a shot… Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Natural Posted May 9 Share Posted May 9 Bryan Danielson is the only wrestler to be in all three Anarchy in the Arena matches. Eddie Kingston and The Young Bucks are on two. This will be Kazuchika Okada, FTR and Jack Perry first. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Craig H Posted May 9 Share Posted May 9 Chris Jericho is fucking brilliant. I don’t think you can ever count him out. I was howling during his promo. 4 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phantom Lord Posted May 9 Share Posted May 9 (edited) It was a good show tonight. Saw The Mogul Embassy turning on Swerve coming a mile away. Also, the Anarchy in the Arena match should be good. A little random with FTR teaming with Eddie and Bryan, but it should be a fun brawl. Copeland vs. Brody was a fun bloody match. I was surprised to see Adam take a spike piledriver during the match, but he's been going all out in these matches anyway. So yeah a good show tonight.

Go2Sleep Posted May 9 Share Posted May 9 I was prepared to be underwhelmed by the Anarchy in the Arena mystery partners, but I think Eddie and Bryan are great choices. Eddie had some heat with them early on and of course lost his belt to Okada, and Danielson has a significant history with bad wrestling bosses. I'm glad they acknowledged Christian working with the Bucks to explain how he jumped the line and that Swerve's shots at the Elite aren't going unnoticed. The Trent/Orange stuff took some weird turns, but in a good way that keeps me interested in the story. I'm not sure there's ever going to be any direction for the trios division, but Jay White looks like a boss carrying around those three belts. 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
