Pete Posted July 22 Share Posted July 22 Put yourself in Tiny Khan's shoes. Rumors abound that Daniel Bryan and/or CM Punk are coming to AEW. You tease a big debut tonight... and you deliver Nick Gage, a legit out-of-left-field surprise with tons of fans and just as many haters, all of whom pop like little monkeys for his appearance. So you deliver big on the tease, while still potentially having Bryan/Punk as well. That's so genius it almost hurts. 13 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Niners Fan in CT Posted July 22 Share Posted July 22 Decent show.. glad Archer finally won a marquee match. Next week looks super loaded though with the tag match and then the 10-man elimination tag. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stefanie the Human Posted July 22 Share Posted July 22 I didn't know I wanted Sting trading shin kicks with Orange Cassidy before doing a lazy pounding of his chest, but I sure am glad it's in my life now. I very much enjoyed that moment. 11 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DreamBroken Posted July 22 Share Posted July 22 Awesome crowd, awesome show. Jericho/Spears was a fun opener and Gage was one hell of an insane surprise, never saw that coming. I thought this trials thing was going to be strictly Jericho against Pinnacle guys, so cool to see something completely unexpected brought in to the mix. Darby/Yuta was quick but fun and the Sting/Orange bit was gold, Gallows/Kazarian felt surprisingly short. Blade/Orange was pretty solid. Nyla/Britt was sloppy but I enjoyed the match, even with the result never in doubt. Loved Vickie being able to counter Britt's attempted Eddie spot. Also love the addition of Chavo with Andrade. Everything about Moxley/Archer ruled. I dig the AEW x Street Fighter shirts. Stoked and surprised to finally see Archer get a real big win for a change. Great finish and the count was done in a way where it really felt like "oh shit he's really not going to make it" instead of drawing it out with pause. Amazing violence and blood throughout. Curious what comes next for both guys. Post-match faceoff with Hikuleo was great and felt big time. So much more greatness coming up with a stacked next week and already stuff built for the following week. Surprised no Cody tonight (or next week in Charlotte since his match is set for the next week). AEW is on fire, loving it. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pretty Boy Jungle Boy going through hell to be the one to finally put down Gage would be great. Someone on the discord mentioned that Gage as a mercenary is a great role for him. Just have him be a guy brought in periodically by heels to fuck up babyfaces. Doesn't care if he wins, just want to hurt some people 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Horatio Posted July 22 Share Posted July 22 (edited) On Archer/Moxley - I didn't see how the match started (smoke break), I caught on when they were wrestling in the crowd, but the match seemed short enough for a LMS/TDM. Archer is awesome at coming back from a beatdown and the fork in the pocket made things interesting. Moxley spent so much time visibly "hiding" it in his pockets that it made sense for Archer to take advantage when Mox wasn't expecting it. I'm happy for Gage - love a redemption story - but I am not excited to see what he could do to Jericho. I'm hoping the Painmaker squashes him. Alice Cooper rules.

DEAN Posted July 22 Share Posted July 22 I loved Archer/Moxley. l loved Moxley taking his gig out in the middle of the ring. Fuck it, it's hardcore. 8 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Looked really solid and I think those two, with their similar physiques, would be a great face/heel pairing. Let's put a bookmark on that one. EDIT: It was me who brought up Gage being a mercenary and yeah, next to STOP THE GAGE that's the best idea. He's got to stay GCW 4 Lyfe but give him a big payday every once in awhile. And yeah I caught Mox fumbling with his wrist tape too haha. HE'S HARDCORE! HE'S HARDCORE! Edited July 22 by Curt McGirt 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AaronMLuke Posted July 22 Share Posted July 22 (edited) Knew it was going to be a fun night for us when fans started chanting : " Eat her soul" during Abadon's Dark match. Fun show for me and Joey.
