Or flip Eddie and MJF. Yeah, I like Punk -> MJF -> Kingston. Kingston doesn't need a long run at all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Casey Posted May 26, 2022 Share Posted May 26, 2022 I just really, really want Kingston to win the title from CM Punk on Dynamite Grand Slam, and have a celebration like Mick Foley did on RAW in '98 but sub out DX for Jon Moxley, Santana, Ortiz, Homicide, etc. Then he can lose it back to Punk or whatever at the PPV. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John from Cincinnati Posted May 26, 2022 Share Posted May 26, 2022 Kingston being the first guy to flip-flop the belt back feels right. He gets his moment that everyone’s clamouring for, but gets to keep the underdog sympathy coming out of it. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jiji Posted May 26, 2022 Share Posted May 26, 2022 Have him lose like Akiyama to Ogawa with a flash pin or something. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jiji Posted May 26, 2022 Share Posted May 26, 2022 This feels like both the weakest PPV card and the weakest PPV build they've put on in maybe forever. Adam Cole is now poised to win a tournament named after Owen Hart. Makes me sick. Tony in his flop era. I agree with the notion something has been off with the general direction of the company the past few months. Think of the talent not on the card this year. I get that it's gonna happen with a roster this deep but they have 3 of their best wrestlers just chilling. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Natural Posted May 26, 2022 Share Posted May 26, 2022 The only matches I'm not looking forward to are Cole/Joe with Joe getting lumbered with Cole, Young Bucks/Hardys and Pentagon annoys the piss outta me so hopefully PAC/Fenix and House of Black can counteract that. Criminal #FTR aren't on the show. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
(BP) Posted May 26, 2022 Share Posted May 26, 2022 The way Joe’s been bodying everyone since he arrived should make the Owen final a great experience for people who don’t care for Cole. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not on the down with bay bay team, but sold for the same reason on Joe-Cole. I agree with the criticism that the direction could be better and I too find it mindboggling that FTR are not on the card. For somebody who's ceiling for pro wrestling is around 3 hours in a sitting, I'm okay with a couple matches I'm uninterested in (Owen Women's final and Jade-Anna). This is definitely a tape delay show for me. But very much looking forward to the Main, Wardy-MJF, the Six Man, and even Hardys-Bucks. Hoping to be surprised by the 10 man, the 3 way, Deeb-Rosa, and the Hookhausen pre-show bout. Complaints certainly don't outweigh what I expect to be a tremendous night of wrestling.

Matt D Posted May 26, 2022 Share Posted May 26, 2022 There are a lot of masters to serve. It feels like more of a "big tent" promotion than before Punk came in and certainly before the pandemic. There feel like some what ifs. What would Cody have been doing if he didn't leave? What would House of Black and Death Triangle have been doing if Fenix wasn't hurt and they could have done the six-man blow off last PPV? Did they expect Omega to be out this long? 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chriskbrown50 Posted May 26, 2022 Share Posted May 26, 2022 Most interesting missing piece is Sammy-Tay. Is PVZ not ready? Everything pointed towards the intergender tag match. Sammy promised he would not be off the next AEW PPV - promised not kept. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Casey Posted May 26, 2022 Share Posted May 26, 2022 Since he doesn't provide context: TK said on Unrestricted that Punk/Hangman won't start until AFTER game 7 of Heat/Celtics is over - if there is one, anyway. let's ignore that WWE promised people in Las Vegas that Summerslam would end before Pacquiao/Spence Jr last year and snark it up baby Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That pop would be ridiculous, especially if whoever the champ is (Cole?) comes charging in only for King to nuke him with the Backfist to the Future and get the pin in like 10 seconds. Know what else would rule? If Kingston hits Jericho with a bucket of butane fuel at the start of their DON match and then dares him to throw another fireball again. Just picture Jericho's flop sweat for that one. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Really bummed out. B/R never even followed up with my complaints about the stream so I really don't want to give them money again. Thanks for the suggestions all. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Natural Posted May 27, 2022 Share Posted May 27, 2022 Slightly under. Buzz and build doesn't feel there like Revolution. I'm looking forward to the show even though there's a few matches I'm not into. Once the show ends, it's a quick turnaround as matches need to be announced for AEW X NJPW Forbidden Door. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jiji Posted May 27, 2022 Share Posted May 27, 2022 Fightful said there's a chance of Darby vs. Kyle O'Reilly being announced tonight for DoN. Would probably be the best match on the card if true. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Outside shots are JAS vs. Danielson/Moxley/Kingston/Santana/Ortiz, MJF vs. Wardlow and Rosa/Deeb. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would've said that Jade/Anna should be on the Buy-In, but I actually think O'Reilly/Darby would be an excellent pre show match. I mean just three years ago at the first DoN our pre-show matches were the Casino Battle Royal that Hangman won and Sabian/Sammy. It's okay to put some real star power on the preshow. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
