Steventon Posted November 13, 2021 Share Posted November 13, 2021 Girlfriend's away tonight so me and a buddy staying up for this after the UFC show. Expectations are high. I'm hoping for an Eddie Kingston win, as unlikely as it may be. Page wins, Omega takes time off, Cole steps up as leader of the Elite and goes after Page, Omega returns, turns face against Cole and has his moment making amends with Hangman. This is my prediction of the next year of AEW. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jiji Posted November 13, 2021 Share Posted November 13, 2021 Yeah, I think you can have Kenny take time off and hopefully return around the time Steen joins if that's happening. Would be perfect. Hangman and Omega vs. Mount Rushmore is a feud you can run for a year plus, cycling in guys like Punk and Danielson to support the faces. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HarryArchieGus Posted November 13, 2021 Share Posted November 13, 2021 This line-up tonight is clearly stellar, but can they pace this one to keep the crowd alive come 1130? Hoping they slot in a few more quality promos as we go along to split up the bell to bell to bell to bell. What's the over/under on a Windham Rotunda debut this evening? I've read of some film roles nearing the end of the month, does that delay things? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Niners Fan in CT Posted November 13, 2021 Share Posted November 13, 2021 Ready... All Out was my PPV of the Year. Well worth the money spent. The card here also awesome. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StevieNippz Posted November 13, 2021 Share Posted November 13, 2021 Been awake since 230 AM for work. Tried to take a nap but I can't because I'm too pumped up. Haven't felt like that about wrestling since WrestleMania 19. Rewatched the Kingston/Punk promos and got extra psyched. Let's do this! 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He didn’t talk too fondly of his in-ring or character work in the past, either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gordi the former AEW fan Posted November 14, 2021 Share Posted November 14, 2021 (edited) So much love for Eddie Guerrero tonight Road To and pre-show were both excellent. I popped for Dante's athletic ring re-entry. Opening match was definitely two of the Four Pillows of AEW living up to that near-impossible standard. Looks like MJF has been studying Roderick Strong tapes (and Orange Cassidy) Loved the Eddie tributes in the tag title match, and the Killer Bees callback. Of all the great things in the tournament final, I think Miro's varied facial expressions were the best. What kind of pro wrestler wears pink and black in the ring? The trios match was literally too much fun. I wish they'd dial it back about 20 percent. The crowd reactions to Cody and angry Arn were really entertaining. I popped for the Ultimo Guerrero reference. I was pretty sure Britt was retaining but I totally bought some of Tay's near-falls. I thought Adam Cole was gonna win "Blade Job of the Night" but Punk stole that from him. I do NOT know what good pro wrestling tastes like! I loved Lambert's velour track suit. Very Bobby Heenan. The crowd shots during "Judas" were just great. "Purple Rain" and "Toaster" chants!! I thought that was a MUCH better match than Blood and Guts. Including the pre-show, we were about 4 and a half hours in when the main event started. Was ANYONE feeling burned out? Loved the "What Would Kota Think?" sign in the crowd. Love that AEW put it on camera. I did not envy Kenny and Hangm'n having to main event after all that came before their match. Loved the callback to Roddy Piper vs Bret. Felt like they earned the right to do that Kawada spot. Kenny kicked out of the OWA!! My expectations were SKY HIGH for the match and for the show. They were exceeded. It's impossible to pick a "best bout" for this show. So much excellent and entertaining pro wrestling. It might be recency bias, but that has to at least be in the conversation for Best Pro Wrestling PPV of All Time. Edit: I forgot about the Baron putting the claw on All Ego and KENNY kicking out of the OWA... Impossible to make a post long enough to capture all the good things!

twiztor Posted November 14, 2021 Share Posted November 14, 2021 fucking incredible show. Hangman/Omega, Eddie/Punk, Danielson/Miro, MJF/Darby, Lucha Bros/FTR were all amazing. can't praise this enough. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Raziel Posted November 14, 2021 Share Posted November 14, 2021 That was a really good pro-wrestling show. Danielson and Miro went out and had an actual King's Road match in the year 2021 holy shit Everything on the show delievered at minimum. The Trios and Atomicos matches way over delievered. However... Lethal is not a popular signing, and that pretty much seals that Marty is gonna show up sooner rather than later. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ultimo Necro Posted November 14, 2021 Share Posted November 14, 2021 (edited) MJF / Darby was my match of the night. It was really great. Probably MJF’s best match in AEW. loved the main event. Super emotional. Dan Lambert rules. JDS stalling suplex then standing moonsault ruled even more. Punk / Eddie had elements of Joe / Necro, which is weird considering Punk / Eddie were on commentary and Bryce was the ref!

HumanChessgame Posted November 14, 2021 Share Posted November 14, 2021 The opener was really hot and a showcase of how Darby can actually wrestle. For all the fuckery towards the end and way they built up the match I was really surprised to see MJF win (although it didn't look like Darby's shoulders were down). Unless they're just going to end this with the heel winning I don't see where they take the feud from here. Tag title match was another fantastic outing between FTR and the Lucha Bros. FTR brought all the subtle touches and heel manerisms that make them great and the LBs showed off their innovative offense. I was kind of surprised that FTR lost. Miro/Danielson brought the grappling matwork that was expected from these guys. I think Miro should have gone over though. Him getting the win helps him more than it would hurt Danielson, and Danielson doesn't need to be in the title picture yet. The six man was ok but a lot longer than it needed to be. As much as I like Pac, Black, and Andrade this match didn't need to be on the PPV. They could have done a week or two of more buildup to actually explain some of these allegiances and had the match with the fuck finish at a future Dynamite to set up whatever FTR are going to do with Cody. The women's title match was fine. That apron air raid crash was nasty. I'd been looking forward to Punk/Kingston more than anything else on the show. It's amazing what two guys who have a great mind for the business and similar tastes and influences can put together when you give them the latitude do to so. It wasn't as long as the other matches on the card, but I think that was needed to underscore just how hard and vicious they were going at eachother. My initial response is to wish Eddie had won, but I have faith that they've got a larger story they want to tell here. I didn't really care about the street fight (two falls count anywhere tag matches on one show?) though this was the best use of a cooler match. Jay Lethal has always bored me so I'm pretty indifferent to his signing. The main event overdelivered. I had expected some dog and pony show ending and it was kept to a minimum. The Bucks coming ringside looking like they were going to interfere but in the end giving Page the nod of approval was a nice touch. It could even build to the Elite split people have speculated about. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
