matt925 Posted April 16, 2022 Share Posted April 16, 2022 If I owned a mlw/gcw/roh level promotion renegade twins would be one of my first signings. Money look. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SirFozzie Posted April 16, 2022 Share Posted April 16, 2022 re-watching the BCC-Gunn Club match... Underrrated BOSS moment. Yuta with the folded arms and neck bridge on the submission hold with a "I can do this all day" smirk on his face. Ruby Soho's Sister Abigail-alike has so much torque that it looks EXTRA hurty. And the degeneration of Adam Page into a violent SOB continues. Plasma was needed, and boy howdy was it here. Nowhere near as much as Yuta, (is that match going into way of the blade 2?). Has it already been five months with Adam Page as champ? I hate that every Adam Cole match has to have the big cinematic talkie moment but yeah, the barbed wire deadeye. Ow. 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

eikerir Posted April 16, 2022 Share Posted April 16, 2022 (edited) Only thing I wish they did different was to let the moment sink in for at least 15sec after Hangman put the barbwire crown on Cole so we could get a good visual of it before the finish. Get a shirt out of it probably. Edited April 16, 2022 by eikerir 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Natural Posted April 16, 2022 Share Posted April 16, 2022 (edited) I enjoyed Adam Page/Adam Cole considering what I think about Cole. Do think it's the weakest of the three AEW Texas Death Matches though. Jon Moxley vs. Lance Archer in second place behind Adam Page vs. Lance Archer earlier this year.

Thought it was the best of the 3 myself! That ending is an all timer and elevates it past the other 2. Really thought this was the best Cole has looked in AEW. I’m back and forth on Cole. Not as down on him as some, but see the limitations. Man sure can take a bump though…. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steventon Posted April 16, 2022 Share Posted April 16, 2022 Not a great start to Yuta in BCC if you ask me. All of his stuff with the Gunn kids looked pretty awkward, then he gets muscled around by Mr Ass only to get a flukey roll-up win. They really should have had a more decisive, violent finish to continue this. Main event had a pretty gnarly, violent finish but otherwise didn't do much for me. Plunder Cole is the best Cole and still this was too heavy on weak superkick spam and melodrama. Page blading his chin to put over Cole's silly spot was a choice touch though.

Jrag Posted April 16, 2022 Share Posted April 16, 2022 oh yeah I’m 1000% with whoever suggested Billy Gunn/Danielson 1 on 1. Although someone might get knocked unconscious. 2022 Billy Gunn is somehow the best hoss they have? I don’t get it either but it’s true! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Log Posted April 16, 2022 Share Posted April 16, 2022 It shows the quality of AEW’s roster that when Dustin started his challenge, like 20 names flashed in my head and they’d all be an awesome match with him. 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eikerir Posted April 16, 2022 Share Posted April 16, 2022 (edited) I definitely thought Dustin was gonna ask for a title match with Hangman before he hung up the boots for good. Edited April 16, 2022 by eikerir 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fair does that you enjoyed it the most of the three. I thought Page/Archer was the best match. Better finish with the Buckshot Lariat using the ref as a vault as the top rope was removed through two tables. Said match had the Blackout on the steps which Page bounced off. Moxley/Archer second best. That had the chokeslam through the barbed wire board. Edited April 16, 2022 by The Natural 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Right now though, unless he learns to find a new gear, his appeal is going to be resilience and survival. Sort of a Yoshinari Ogawa deal. It’s still only week one however, so we will see. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
For Great Justice Posted April 16, 2022 Share Posted April 16, 2022 (edited) AEW really isn’t great at booking women after they lose the title. Riho was left twisting in the wind, Shida twisting in the wind until the Deeb feud and now Baker doing nothing.

Have to wait and see with Baker. I do like that Baker said she wouldn't return to AEW till they return to Pittsburgh and that's next week. Back in DMD's hometown.

Craig H Posted April 16, 2022 Share Posted April 16, 2022 Yuta has maybe the worst gear in AEW. Dude should just start dressing like Shibata. 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Technico Support Posted April 16, 2022 Author Share Posted April 16, 2022 (edited) Great show! First time in a while Rampage has felt on par with Dynamite in importance, right? Loved the crowd going rabid for Yuta. AEW turned him from a jobber to THIS with one match. Don’t talk shit about booking when they can do that. Looking forward to another easy hour of free good wrestling tonight! Also, while I’m still sick if fans’ signs in general, I applaud Wednesday’s “allons brandon” sign being balanced by “pro choice, pro science, pro wrestling” and “end forced motherhood” tonight, and in Texas of all places . But please, enough of the “I’m desperately trying to get on botchamania” signs. Edited April 16, 2022 by Technico Support Phone autocorrected Yuta as “Yuma” and now I’m curious as to what Johnny Yuma is up to. 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He looks so skinny in those tights; they’re terribly unflattering. I thought maybe he was just tiny, but he’s billed as 6 ft “, so presuming he’s even close to that then yeah, the gear creates a negative illusion.
