John from Cincinnati Posted January 21, 2022 Share Posted January 21, 2022 4 hours ago, Log said: The Jade/Anna match is interesting. Has there ever been a title match on national television for a major promotion between two wrestlers with so little experience combined? Ask me again in a couple months once they've fed some scrubs to Baby Steiner. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shartnado Posted January 22, 2022 Share Posted January 22, 2022 Due to night shift week, I couldn't sleep so I guess I'll try and catch this one live. We shall see if I stay awake for it or fall back to sleep as soon as the opening credits roll? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John E. Dynamite Posted January 22, 2022 Share Posted January 22, 2022 That's probably the best I've seen Anna Jay and Jade Cargill look. Plenty of nitpicks but that was a surprisingly competent TV title match given their combined experience level. Silver as valet certainly didn't hurt. 10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zakk_Sabbath Posted January 22, 2022 Share Posted January 22, 2022 Wow, I have to give it to both ladies, I did not expect that main event to be that good. And Berreta/Jackson was killer, I was glad to see the Best Friends side win one. Is Chuck out or just not used this week? 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Romero has COVID. Main event was fine at a glance but when you bring into their combined experience being under 100 matches, that was impressive. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Curt McGirt Posted January 22, 2022 Share Posted January 22, 2022 Yeah, Rocky got pulled for I believe Covid (should be above or in the main thread). Great show. A bunch of really good finishes, I'd go: 1. Mox/Page. Vicious 2. Jade/Anna. Clever 3. Trent/Jackson. Sudden and final and then the Hook match was just perfect in all ways. Plus Nick Jackson splatting on his face and Serpentico looking like "Serdentico" on the screen which I'm sure will be on Botchamania. With all that a fellow poster did something interesting at the show too, though... 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shartnado Posted January 22, 2022 Share Posted January 22, 2022 (edited) Trent with a huge win! That was a good match. Anna Jay had that one opportunity to take Jade out with that choke and she almost made it count. Jungle Boy is a damn good promo for someone who's supposedly a bad promo! Ok, so Marshall will be getting suplexed each time Hook is out there, right? Rosa-Martinez should kick a decent amount of ass! Moxley looked good. Danielson and Mox have a history. This shoud be interesting. Ok, did some of you flash "The Natural" sign on camera during the opening match?

Gordi the former AEW fan Posted January 22, 2022 Author Share Posted January 22, 2022 (edited) Well, that was certainly a very entertaining hour of the professional wrestling. I was kinda worried about them putting two inexperienced wrestlers into a 10-minute-plus main event match... but that was really good! In particular, that counter from the Jaded into the Queenslayer was SWANK. And I agree that Hungee makes a fine valet. He was very entertaining in his role. Mox looks totally different now. Really striking. MOX VS AMDRAG?!?!?! YES PLEASE!!!!! Got a kick out of the Dinosaur Man growling "Apples!" Hey! You like apples? How do you like Apple Miyuki? Kind of selfish of Nick to put Trent over like that. What about all of the people whose hobby is moaning and bitching about the Young Bucks? What are they supposed to type about today, huh? "Yeah. From Venice. I've heard about those." "Knox is always in the way" That senton onto the ramp sounded SICK. I loved the Billy Robinson shout-out during the Hook match. And we get another sick ramp bump. This is ramp-age baby! I missed our boy @NikoBaltimore' sign. Hopefully someone can screen-cap it. Looking forward, as I said, to his Road Report. Looks like you made the right decision, buddy! Edited January 22, 2022 by Gordlow "minute" is not spelled "minte" 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DEAN Posted January 22, 2022 Share Posted January 22, 2022 WaitWAITwait. Trent Berretta is the best wrestler in AEW? Huh. Who knew? That match almost overdelivered as much as the Anna J/Jade Cargill MIRACLE MATCH. The key to Trent being awesome is how good his elbowing Nick in the head looked. Such a NOAH match. I await the Trnet/Bobby Fish match. Jon Moxley as the new Stone Cold is pretty great. Ethan Page was awesome as usual. HOOK! YAY! AEW RULES! 12 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Curt McGirt Posted January 22, 2022 Share Posted January 22, 2022 Oh absolutely, Trent somehow now has super loud and brutal elbows. The three he gave in the corners at the start were thunderous. Don't know if we needed ANOTHER strike exchange after Moxley and Page but hey. Speaking of strikes, Page popping Mox in the face with those punches in the ropes in full closeup was fantastic. The Johnny Hungee setup for the Anna attack will be a great gif here in 3, 2, 1... 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

John E. Dynamite Posted January 22, 2022 Share Posted January 22, 2022 Oh, and now that Moxley has totally inverted his whiskey gut (couldn't we all...), how long are his freakin' arms? Like, what does his reach as a boxer measure at? Does Jon "Bones" Moxley posses the ideal MMA body type?? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Curt McGirt Posted January 22, 2022 Share Posted January 22, 2022 Wonder what Mox told him. I can see him saying after the not-so-good looking stuff while he was on the table "tighten up dude" and then got... that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NikoBaltimore Posted January 22, 2022 Share Posted January 22, 2022 (edited) I'll have more to say later one but even at 2am I'm watching back the show. I honestly thought I was a tad bit too far back for any signs to be visible. But not only were they but my ugly ass in the Godzilla face mask and glasses is in the middle and clearly visible when the hard cam is on. I feel self conscious yet at the same time really glad. The signs I hastily made while waiting at 7pm were thankfully pretty visible so that's cool. Hope that the intended people see it and know it's for them.
