The Natural Posted September 7 Posted September 7 Swerve Strickland breaks into Hangman Adam Page's house to cut a promo on Hangman's baby. Hangman burned Swerve's house down in response. Wrestling, the most diverse form of entertainment. 2
StuntmanCrowley Posted September 7 Posted September 7 So while I'm sure I overlooked something, here is what my personal top 10 feuds in AEW have been. Right now, there are two top ones #1 and #2: Swerve/Hangman and MJF/Punk. I am obviously the low man on Punk and always will be, but for this feud, i GOT IT and let me tell you, if i could be on a level like the Punk diehards and see him in this light on everything, i'd be his biggest fan. Everything in that feud was top tier and I even own the PWT Dog Collar poster T-Shirt. As much of a Hangman guy as I am, this is my favorite feud in AEW. Swerve/Hangman aren't far behind however, because this is just real, visceral hate. I'll always be the high buyer on Hangman, but Swerve's reaction to the arson was just unbelievable. You had Hangman finally emotionally cripple a killer and it was absolutely beautiful. Anyone who says AEW can't do stories, look at these two. #3 Toni Storm/Mariah May While the above 2 feuds hit the violence and that's not to be said these two didnt, this story was multilayered to the point of being engaging like an episodic show. I honestly knew little about Mariah before AEW and holy shit, she is on another level. Toni Storm is a master at this and between her and Swerve, im not sure who WWE dropped the ball on harder. #4: Hangman/Omega. Outside of the Bloodline, I truly believe that Hangmans ascent to the title was just an amazing display of friendship from the Dar Order(and yes, Hangman is a fucking awfulfriend), but it resonated with me because I absolutely struggle with alcoholism on a daily basis, and that's why i like Hangman so much. I know the man isn't an alcoholic, but it's weird to say, it's nice to see a comeback story of that magnitude in a vacuum i can identify with and appreciate. #5: Mr. Brodie Lee v Cody. In the early days of AEW, I wasn't sure what to make of the Dark Order, then Brodie came in. Then he squashed Cody. I was, amongst others on the board here, screaming to the rooftops for him to be the victor over Orton and Wyatt(after added of course) during that run in WWE, but he was a whole other level. Truthfully, thinking about old AEW. I think Cody would be amazing in there now. #6: Pac v Cassidy Just two unbelievable workers who hate one another. Well, Pac hates OC, OC is probably whatever #7: Mox/Jericho This was the feud that was needed to cement AEW as not a contender, but to bring them into the view of "casual wrestling fans" #8:: CODY/MJF I picked this one because it was the first real big heel turn of AEW, and also it was the cause of the stipulation that created the Codyverse, IMO. It might not be the best, but it is definitely important. #9: Eddie Kingston v Everyone This one is right out of the box but Eddie came in as a one shot, got himself a contract and ended up holding 3 titles. #10: Best Friends v Pround and Powerful. That Parking Lot Brawl. I lost a lot of steam by the end and im sure I forgot some, like Elite/Inner Circle, Cody/Sammy, Bucks/Lucha Bros, FTR/Bucks, Baker/Rosa, etc. 2 1
The Green Meanie Posted September 7 Posted September 7 I love The Outrunners even more (somehow). I read an article earlier today that mentioned they're now the new #1 t-shirt sellers in the company. I *think* that they tried to get me to boo Mox due to him attacking The Outrunners, but my love for the BCC just won't allow that. 2

Log Posted September 7 Posted September 7 I’m wondering if Mox trying to talk to Darby has anything to do with Darby having a match with Danielson soon. Like, if that’s going to all converge around that time. 1

Like, if that’s going to all converge around that time. Only a fortnight away. Really looking forward to Bryan Danielson vs. Darby Allin. That's been one of my most anticipated matches for both.
Technico Support Posted September 7 Posted September 7 AEW production change I’ve noticed since the two multi-man matches on the All In preshow: In multi man matches lately, the illegal men frequently “lay out” and find a reason to be on the floor. I feel like it’s to remove some of the clutter from the frame so the focus of the shot is just the guys wrestling. 2
Go2Sleep Posted September 7 Posted September 7 I dig the Outrunners making the most of their jobber gimmick and getting an expanded role. Celebrating a huge win over 2 local jobbers and immediately getting bludgeoned by Mox was very on brand. While I'm kinda over all the "serious" teams at the top of the division (even GYV), the bottom half with Outrunners, MXM, Livin' the gimmick Top Flight, Private Party, etc is a lot of fun right now. I wouldn't mind Taven and Bennett getting thrown into that mix since they're at their best as stooging heels. 6
Go2Sleep Posted September 8 Posted September 8 On 9/5/2024 at 10:35 AM, HarryArchieGus said: I took it as Danielson evading the questions with non-answers. Not unlike TK doing press. His answer for the question about Pac could read as the BCC are coming to an end: 'he would have been a great choice for the BCC' (or something like that). I don't think he knows what's up with Moxley, and I think it'll become clear before his full time career is over and done with. Ok I have to admit, everyone conspiring behind his back to murder him is a perfectly good explanation for why he didn't know anything. 3

Edited September 11 by Zakk_Sabbath ah Zimbra ya beat me by a few 1 1
Nice Guy Eddie Posted September 11 Posted September 11 Roddy vs. Danielson!!!! Someone or both of their chests are going to get chopped into hamburger. 2

Big time - I wasn't sure if we were gonna get this one before Danielson hangs it up, so this was a super, super pleasant surprise.

peachchaos Posted September 11 Posted September 11 Wait, where is this Roddy/Bryan match being announced, I’m not seeing it anywhere
HumanChessgame Posted September 11 Posted September 11 I don't see any mention of Danielson/Roddy on AEW's social media or any wrestling sites, just the following- Jon Moxley set to appear at the start of the show AEW Women's World Championship Eliminator Match: Mariah May vs. Queen Aminata Tag Team Casino Gauntlet Match - Winners to face The Young Bucks for the World Tag Team Title at GrandSlam Sammy Guevara vs. Ricochet TNT Championship - Jack Perry vs Lio Rush
Log Posted September 11 Posted September 11 We have to get Joe/Danielson at some point before Bryan's done, too, right? 3
Technico Support Posted September 11 Posted September 11 Oh hell yes inject that tag Casino Gauntlet right into my PWG arcade wrestling loving veins.
Casey Posted September 11 Posted September 11 If the Outrunners don’t win, what are we even doing anymore? Might as well close up shop. 3

Win this, go on to win the belts, dedicate their win to their father figure, Nick Wayne. The new Outrunners video is awesome. Every time I see them, I feel like TK should buy the rights to "Push it to the Limit" for them. Edited September 11 by Technico Support 2
