SirFozzie Posted April 9, 2022 Share Posted April 9, 2022 Would the person who doubted that the Yuta-Moxley feud was A) going to continue and B) Be good for Yuta's push, please step forward? I need to know how you want your crow cooked... By golly you got a lot comin... They did mostly confirm there was going to be a Blood And Guts match this summer... 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DreamBroken Posted April 9, 2022 Share Posted April 9, 2022 Amazing star making night for Wheeler Yuta. Legit thought he was going to pull off the win after kicking out of the Paradigm Shift. Blood makes it even better. Great stuff all around and Bryan/Trent as well. Really liked Velvet/Willow too but I am a fan of Red. Laughed out loud at Excalibur calling Sammy & Tay "America's Favorite Couple" Super hyped for the announcement of Joe/Suzuki! Feels like using the ROH titles just fits seamlessly on these shows so far. The shows just continue to get more stacked as time goes on, I love it. Every week has multiple things to look forward to. 5 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JLowe Posted April 9, 2022 Share Posted April 9, 2022 1 hour ago, just drew said: Bryan just effortlessly pulling classics out of thin air on a random goddamn Friday. Smh my head… The standard used to be Flair and a broomstick to 3 stars. I’m fairly certain Bryan could recreate a five star match with a cadaver at this point. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At one point in DDT, the best worker in the fed was a ladder. The ladder was so good that it got a full retirement ceremony. The second best worker was a blow-up sex doll that beat the shit out of Kenny Omega and Kota Ibushi. Edited April 9, 2022 by J.T. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ThatTCGuy Posted April 9, 2022 Share Posted April 9, 2022 As pretty much everyone else has said, Mox/Yuta was one of the best matches of the year so far and a star making performance for Yuta. Mox is building up quite a nice WOTY case for himself. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eikerir Posted April 9, 2022 Share Posted April 9, 2022 (edited) I’ve not posted much in the last couple of weeks because I’m in the middle of moving houses but holy shit was that Yuta’s coming out party. This is easily one of my favourite AEW matches ever because the story and dynamic they had just worked so freaking well from start to finish. I was REALLY hoping that Yuta would pull out an inescapable roll up or something for the win because the roof of that place would have exploded. What an amazing match and one of the best elevations of someone that I’ve seen in I can’t remember how long. This was not just the case of the underdog only earning respect by taking a beating, he was giving it back in equal amounts the whole time and came off as a badass. You have a faction with two of the biggest wrestling stars in the world right now and Regal and you use it to make Wheeler Yuta into a start. Thanks for this whoever booked it all.

Struggling to word this without sounding like I'm being critical... I'm so curious about what someone saw in Yuta that made them think he was the guy to put in this spot. To my knowledge he's never been this good before. 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's not shown as much in AEW, because in AEW he's been doing a 'raw up and comer' gimmick and wrestling below himself. On the indies, he was having great matches in 2020 & 21. Like, in the tag match against Danielson and Moxley a couple of weeks ago, he was throwing soft chops. Not because Jimmy Yuta himself didn't know how to throw hard ones. The Wheeler Yuta character (in AEW) didn't know how to. In storyline, they brought it out of him. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Casey Posted April 9, 2022 Share Posted April 9, 2022 Yeah, YUTA and Daniel Garcia had like an hour long match sometime last year that was pretty fucking bonkers. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
(BP) Posted April 9, 2022 Share Posted April 9, 2022 For me, the development of Yuta in AEW can be neatly divided between before and after he abandoned doing that between the legs evasion spot in every single match. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matt D Posted April 9, 2022 Share Posted April 9, 2022 Need to parent and what not here so more thoughts later, but I'm glad it's 2022 and not 1992 because I know someone will ask Yuta if writing the letters on his chest was part of the plan or just in the moment and I seriously need to know that. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Am I the only guy who thought he was an actual Japanese wrestler on excursion here until recently?

I can't tell if Sammy/Tay is being booked to be the classic swarmy couple vibe (Lita/Edge comes to mind) or it's just who they are. It feels booked but can't tell. What is interesting in this entire thread - Hook segment was not mentioned at all and I found it really entertaining. It was a WWF type of little segment but effective.

BOOTS FOR YUTA Seriously, something about the full length black tights/white sneakers look just annoys me. If you have to wear sneakers or amateur boots, at least cut the tights length down to where TAKA Michinoku had them so it doesn't look like you should be wearing boots. Of course, ankle support is super important. And don't get me started on Skye Blue wrestling in Chucks! Are these kids trying to snap their ankles?!

twiztor Posted April 9, 2022 Share Posted April 9, 2022 my gods, that Yuta/Moxley match. it's been three or four weeks in a row that i've thought "Yuta is a made man after that match". it gets truer every time. Like @L_W_P, this match drew me in 100%. between the blood, the violence, and the kickout of the high angle Paradigm Shift? You bet your ass i was on the edge of my seat. Yuta using Danielson and Moxley's maneuvers against them was a not-subtle but hugely effective way to show this guy growing and learning. This was everything. the Danielson/Trent? match was awesome too. Any normal week and it would be potentially the best match on AEW TV. This week it's what? a distant 3rd? the quality of pro wrestling matches this company puts out is unparalleled. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gordi the former AEW fan Posted April 9, 2022 Share Posted April 9, 2022 (edited) I am overwhelmed with pro wrestling love. Bryan vs Trent. Mox vs Wheeler Muta. We are getting Joe vs MiSu. And then right after the show I hopped on a train to Osaka to catch up with some old friends I haven't seen in literally years: Spoiler There's a semi full set of pics up on the Life In Japan thread in the Japan section if anyone wants to see/read more about Osaka Pro at Osaka Castle. Overall, just about the best possible day of pro wrestling fandom, topping off an amazing week. Busy or not, I wanted to post that.
