Zakk_Sabbath Posted October 2, 2021 Share Posted October 2, 2021 A rare quiet Friday at home for me, so I'm watching live for the first time since Punk debuted. Should be a good one, I wonder if Danielson v Nick Jackson will open the show 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fans can't sustain the intensity they bring to big matches early on so just get to the good shit right away. This is true even more so when they do Dynamite & Rampage tapings. Better to get to the big match ASAP before the crowd loses its steam 3-4 hours in. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That and making sure the opener gets the required time as AEW's had some timing issues with things going long causing things to go short. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gordi the former AEW fan Posted October 2, 2021 Share Posted October 2, 2021 I loved the contrast between Bryan's no-nonsense style and Nick's all-nonsense style. Great stuff. Nice to see Orangey Boy showing some real fire on the mic! It got a bit dusty in here during the very last scene of the show. Immediately went and hugged my girls after seeing that. Show made me mark out, laugh out loud, and happy cry just a little bit. Can't ask for much more. Maybe a better finish to the three-way match... but nobody likes a nit-picker. Danielson in AEW has been everything I hoped for, already. Pro wrestling heaven. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
elizium Posted October 2, 2021 Share Posted October 2, 2021 Pleasantly surprised by the lack of interference in the opener and main. Hell yeah Jade! 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

romdam Posted October 2, 2021 Share Posted October 2, 2021 If the Young Bucks weren't always wrestling someone I want to see, I'd turn the channel every time I'd see their face. Heat, and it's not heel heat with me. Cant wait til Dragon gets to Cole in the Elite gauntlet 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Curt McGirt Posted October 2, 2021 Share Posted October 2, 2021 (edited) Nick upping the stiffness (Bryan probably told him "you slap the leg on anything but a superkick I will fucking kill you") and then wimping out when confronted with same was great. As was Nick missing his big two highspots, hahaha. The other two matches were matches. Any hair match without blood should be shot into space.

Curt McGirt Posted October 2, 2021 Share Posted October 2, 2021 Okay I have to ask something. Where is that Twitter video of Danielson and Drew Gulak doing the arm thing to Danielson's new theme so I can watch it for the 37th time again? I looked and couldn't find it, and I'm not going through the board to find it for sure. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jamal Posted October 2, 2021 Share Posted October 2, 2021 The build for Cargill has been great. I liked what we got of the three way, including Nyla dying for our sins, and I like the little rivalry between her and Jade. And Thunder Rosa is a treasure. She's come a long way since those Lucha Underground days. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
