That said.. i can't imagine Punk vs. Fish being the type of match ups to draw new viewers. At some point they probably are going to change course on some things for a broader audience and hopefully it will be done in a way to not turn us away. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Niners Fan in CT Posted October 28, 2021 Share Posted October 28, 2021 i've usually loved Cody's territory style booking but with the feud vs. Black sometimes you gotta read the room and he should have known this when looking back on Flair vs. Garvin. Sometimes the heel just needs to go over.. fuck the hero's journey. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not to mention lots of these attires were those plasticky shiny pants that were all the rage amongs Indy wrestlers back then. I still loved it tho. Spoken by the guy with the red and black avatar, to round it off neatly! I forgot to mention but remembered as others noted, Punk’s ’Reclaim The Bodyslam’ campaign to make the poor neglected move mean something, dammit (well that or an ego driven thing of ’look at me, Im so over I can make ’em pop for a BODYSLAM brother) is pretty great. Atomic drop next please. Edited October 28, 2021 by Custos 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brandon Bones Posted October 29, 2021 Share Posted October 29, 2021 If someone mentioned it before I missed it. If you look closely at the MJF segment. When he does the STING fake out. It looks as if Wardlow wasn’t clued in on the prank. So when MJF is parading around telling everyone how stupid they are for falling for it. The big man looked like he took ANOTHER grudge to hold. 5 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Big Z Posted October 29, 2021 Share Posted October 29, 2021 Really fun show on the whole, and the main event is everything I love about professional wrestling all wrapped up into one match (zaniness with the costumes, great action in the ring, and advancing a years long story with Hangman outsmarting the Elite). After not seeing Hangman win the title in person at All Out, had to make the trip to the Twin Cities to see what will be AEW's finest moment in its history. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cody's journey is just beginning. I think he thinks he will get massively over with this "I'm not going to turn" heel routine. He may be right.

She was part of the Straight Edge Society. She was supposedly fired back then though because she was getting drunk and partying a lot. By the time she came back she was already retired. Her doing the first MYC seemed to be a special thing opposed to an actual full time return so when she returned it was as a coach. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

On his part, obsessing over how he’ll be remembered is whats getting Cody into this mess in the first place. For a (ostensibly) healthy, functioning 36 year old he talks ad nauseum about it (’legacy is a funny thing’, ’I built the bank’ blah de blah). How about, live in the same world as everyone else, in the present, kick some arse (or be dastardly in avoiding getting kicked), and stop losing to yourself in your own game of 5d chess. A splash of that grandiloquent shit in the odd ’Road To’ is more than enough thanks. Or have TK pull rank and take it out of his hands to do whats best for business.

Helps round out the women's roster. What was a real liability to me in early 2020 is now a solid part of the card. Yeah, they have some women talents who need seasoning. Irony is the time in Jacksonville really helped the women's division. Dustin Rhodes as Fit Finlay 2.0 is doing some good work. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

eikerir Posted October 29, 2021 Share Posted October 29, 2021 (edited) 15 hours ago, just drew said: I am just not a fan of MJF. I don't think he's as edgy as he thinks he is and his promos feel like an eighth grader who just figured out he can curse as loud as he wants if he sits on the back row of the bus. The thing where the lights went out and Spears was like "bro, that wasn't me" made me chuckle. Wardlow is going to murder Spears and MJF and I'm ok with it. Or the rest of the Pinnacle will stay intact and kick MJF out. Either way, it will be glorious. I liked that Wardlow looked PISSED after the first black out implying he wasn't told beforehand about the joke.
