MoeCristyV.1.6 Posted September 9, 2021 Posted September 9, 2021 Powerhouse Hobbs is a fucking STAR! I am so excited for the future of AEW. 1
sabremike Posted September 9, 2021 Posted September 9, 2021 The biggest issue I had with the MJF promo was challenging fans to hop the guardrail. That is begging for a really bad situation and it's even worse given what happened several weeks back with that idiot attacking Jericho. 3

I don't know, maybe I am the only one who noticed. 13 minutes ago, Overly Critical Man said: Cutting Kaze ni Nare makes this the worst episode of wrestling that has ever aired. Thought the main event was underwhelming in general. Hayter getting jobbed out to Soho was disappointing too, though the catering insult was amusing. Not really getting Soho's sudden appeal. The Adam Cole bit ruled. When Tony surreptitiously did the finger point at the end of Baker's interview, I thought to myself "Cole should come out and stomp his hand." 2
Freudian_Slap Posted September 9, 2021 Posted September 9, 2021 Best part of the show, Don looked great 2
HarryArchieGus Posted September 9, 2021 Posted September 9, 2021 They need to stop talking at the beginning of Black's entrance. They fumbled all around over it on Rampage too. Just shut the fuck up Tony, you nerd! Also, I'm gonna state the obvious to all in this thread - Jamie Hayter is a tremendous talent. 6 2
MoeCristyV.1.6 Posted September 9, 2021 Posted September 9, 2021 She is heads above almost everyone in that division. Everything she does looks really believable. 2

Hector Posted September 9, 2021 Posted September 9, 2021 This episode was kind of meh. Dustin/Black was alright but I wish Black was more aggressive with his offense. Hobbs/Martin was fun but kind of exposed both guys a little bit. MJF's shitty attempt at a Heatwave promo was awful. It was like watching Ron Funches cut a tough guy promo. Mox/Suzuki was just a speedrun of whatever they had planned. I did like Mox's knock out shots in the finishing stretch so that's something at least.

I like how he's more or less channeling Jim Cornette. During the All Out scrum, Khan mentioned that he's upset him with some of his decisions but said the person he's probably learned about pro wrestling from the most was Cornette. It was Corny who said the "wrestling fans watch the wrestling show to see professional wrestlers pro wrestle," or whatever the line is, right? 3
Guest Jimbo_Tsuruta Posted September 9, 2021 Posted September 9, 2021 Really enjoyed Martin v Hobbs, shame about the head clonk. Rest up geezer.

For Great Justice Posted September 9, 2021 Posted September 9, 2021 Dammit, why do the Creed brothers have to be in the wrong promotion? Because Dan Lambert managing THOSE GUYS with their Steiner Bros squash shtick are an infinitely better fit than Sky and Page in this role. As it is, I love Lambert but I’m not sure where this is going. Who is getting that heat here and how does that get resolved? 5
MoeCristyV.1.6 Posted September 9, 2021 Posted September 9, 2021 Rampage is so much better right now, because the matches can breathe. This Crash TV stuff just is too much for me. 1 1
HarryArchieGus Posted September 9, 2021 Posted September 9, 2021 (edited) I dig Riho having a pal or two. We might have a nice team here with she and Ruby. Edited September 9, 2021 by HarryArchieGus

Sky and Page attacked Lance Archer a few weeks ago, so I guess there'd be some kind of follow up to that. Give me Archer and Minoru Suzuki vs. The Men of the Year with Dan Lambert eating a Gotch-style piledriver. 8

Men of the Year were working so well for most people, but does anyone seriously buy Ethan Page being into this dude rambling about millennials? Its such a bad fit. 3

John from Cincinnati Posted September 9, 2021 Posted September 9, 2021 (edited) The thing is Dan’s rants are good for out of touch heat with this audience. I just wish they found a better act (in terms of fit) to graft it onto. In an alternate timeline, he’d have contributed more to Archer than Jake has. I wonder if that could have been a fun pairing. Edited September 9, 2021 by John from Cincinnati 2
Swift Posted September 9, 2021 Posted September 9, 2021 Someone mentioned it earlier but their Disney Channel high school bully level fake laughter is awful. Definitely needs to be a better fitting team in that spot. 2
DreamBroken Posted September 9, 2021 Posted September 9, 2021 I'd still prefer an Arlovski/Dos Santos team as originally teased. 1

My only beef with this would be that I think Lambert needs a foil that's also a talker who can counter his Facebook Uncle rants, but I'm not sure who that would be.

Ron Funches has a match against Tony Deppen at the next GCW in California show. (Ron's ex-wife even DMed Deppen to let him know that she knew it would be driving Ron mental that a Wrestler personally disliked him, so she was really happy about it)
