Matt D Posted November 4, 2024 Posted November 4, 2024 Here's my stuff for the week (LFI vs BEEF/Drake/Butcher and Athena vs Abadon). http://segundacaida.blogspot.com/2024/11/aew-five-fingers-of-death-1028-113.html I also have a quick Kyle Fletcher essay in there at the end. 5

I still have to get to the Fletcher part (pausing for an IRL work thing) but I big agree with your read on the possibility of BEEF's broader appeal - he's like the "every Kentuckian" companion piece to Eddie Kingston's "every New Yorker" if that makes sense. (The other trios match was fantastic too btw - anyone who missed this week, I'd make sure to check the DVR before the cycle starts fresh tmrw) 2

Got nothing but well wishes for the guy. I think he can break out if given the chance. 9

Funny enough, BEEF liked a Tweet of mine the other week too where I was randomly calling to put the Trios titles on him JD and Dutch, I thought I was just screaming into the void so that was kind of cool. I think this makes us 3 officially cousins now 2 1
AxB Posted November 5, 2024 Posted November 5, 2024 BEEF has been following me for like 3 years. I watched one match of his in Paradigm Pro (when they were still on IWTV), tweeted about how awesome it was, went to bed, and woke up to a Like, Retweet and Follow. Of course I followed back. 5
porksweats Posted November 5, 2024 Posted November 5, 2024 When the pandemic started and there were wrestler sponsorships, I sponsored Beef on one of BLP's shows. Beef brought to you by Porksweats! He's been one of my guys for years now and I'm loving that he's getting the attention. 8

HarryArchieGus Posted November 5, 2024 Posted November 5, 2024 Beef’s totally got ‘IT!’ He connects every time out. Colder crowds included. His in ring has been pretty remarkable in low stakes situations. I can only imagine how good he might be with the right opportunity and opponent. I sense mgmt is well aware, I wonder when he gets his breakout Wednesday match where everybody that doesn’t watch the weekend shows falls in love. I expect Beef merch to top the sales charts soon. 4
NikoBaltimore Posted November 5, 2024 Posted November 5, 2024 I know Lio and Action have been more intense lately but not gonna lie there were some really awkward-looking moments during Lio/Kommander. The lack of handshake is one thing but it almost seemed like they just didn't want to cooperate. I'm sure that's not truly the case but it did make what I assumed would be a quasi-spotfet much more interesting. There were some brutal shots throughout and once past the awkward-looking stuff it turned into one helluva match. 2

Lio brings this kind of harder hitting and grounding vibe to his high flying opponents - see also the Ricochet match on Collision. I could see Lio flourish with the right tag partner, but I'm also game for more in this awesome enhancement role.
