Dolfan in NYC Posted May 6, 2022 Posted May 6, 2022 Hope you set your DVR! It's a 5:30p ET showtime! 1
JLowe Posted May 6, 2022 Posted May 6, 2022 I've had to miss wrestling before because of having to work late in a hotel while doing fieldwork, but I've never had to miss wrestling because I'm still on the clock during my normal office hours! 2
Cobra Commander Posted May 6, 2022 Posted May 6, 2022 brief list of the things I remember from this show Hayter's pants before 5pm Central time? alright! If JD Drake gets the gray out of his hair, he could pass as a Conrad Thompson relative Marvelous hair all over the card between Hook and Riho/Sakazaki and Jungle Boy Shooting Lethal's camera angle to keep Singh in the shot and shooting Takeshita's angle normally made Takeshita seem massive compared to Lethal. Singh is dressed really magnificently as he throttles the fuck out of a dude with a choke. Apparently Singh's secondary feud is with Orange Cassidy so, okay. Samoa Joe showed up at the end and was held back by AEW Staff Member Phizzo Jobson Also a fair share of talking that I really didn't pay much attention to as it happened Early start time plus Baseball rainout means some time for 4:30-5:30pm wrestling. 6
elizium Posted May 6, 2022 Posted May 6, 2022 Tonight in weirdly useless AEW chyron: Jay Lethal is "5-2 in his last 7 matches" Jay Lethal's 2022 record "10-4" So he was 5-2 in the first 7 as well? It literally doesn't mean anything, but it makes me laugh. 2 4
Nineteen Posted May 6, 2022 Posted May 6, 2022 Anyone manage to catch a screen grab of the pre main event promo? I know they had to fit the big fella in but the accidental forced perspective had Lethal and Sonjay looking like Hobbits and I couldn't stop laughing Ruby and Riho in round 1 is gonna be great. Yuka's always incredible. 5
(BP) Posted May 6, 2022 Posted May 6, 2022 Why is Sky saying misogynist shit about Tay in his face turn promo? Was it written by Jericho? 3

COLETTI Posted May 6, 2022 Posted May 6, 2022 That was a f'n STELLAR hour of wrestling. Shit, I kinda wish (and I emphasize 'wish') Dynamite was taped, too. Do it "late night talk show" style, taping in the early evening and editing it for later broadcast. 3

eikerir Posted May 6, 2022 Posted May 6, 2022 I kinda really want to see Hangman vs. Takeshita now because they both have those heavy feeling strikes. 8
Gordi the BJW fan Posted May 6, 2022 Posted May 6, 2022 I am delighted that the very first thing Hook ever sold for was a JD Drake chop. There was a lot of very fun all-action wrestling on the show today, but it was more than worth waking up at 6:30 am just to see that. 5 2
DreamBroken Posted May 6, 2022 Posted May 6, 2022 Fun early afternoon wrestling. Opening tag was good stuff. Riho/Yuka was amazing as expected. A big welcome back for both. Hyped for Riho/Ruby in round 1, but I love both so I don't wanna see either get eliminated so early. Interesting that both tournaments have a Joker entry, Britt faces the womens one. Danhausen was hilarious in his bit with Hook, love it. Next week will be another early Rampage. 5
DEAN Posted May 6, 2022 Posted May 6, 2022 Sorry I'm late. My youngest daughter is visiting Boston and she called. Awesome! They are starting off with Jamie Hayter/Britt Baker vs Ruby Soho/TONI STORM! Storm lays it in early. Is this the first time Soho and Baker have touched since their title match? Baker lays it in to Storm and the AEW women's division is soooo much better now with Toni Storm setting the bar. Oh man, Hayter/Storm is gonna be so good. This match is fucking great. WHOA! Toni Storm pins Britt Baker clean as a sheet. Awesome! Tony Nese vs Danhausen! Hook's suplex was fucking awesome. Awesome! Hook will suplex Mark Sterling Wednesday! AWESOME! Yuka Sakazaki! And Riho! Riho has turned EVIL! Oh, she isn't evil. Oh man, I can;t figure out who is going over. I assume Riho. Yuka works the knee as we are in picture in picture. This goes super Japanese as Yuka hits a Northern Lights Bomb and Riho hits a Dragon Suplex. Fun nearfalls and crazy thing off the top. Riho wins with a roll-up. That was great. Athena is the Joker! Ethan Page is so great as YOUR dad! Is this the biggest crowd Konosuke Takeshita has wrestled in front of? How many were at the NOAH/TJPW/DDT joint show? It's cool that he main evented. Top Rope Lariat was fucking awesome. SWEET Brainbuster. Jay Lethal is awesome. Great fucking Lariat. Lethal goes over after fuckery after the Jumping Knee. That match was fucking great. The Big Indian Guy versus Orange Cassidy- MAKE IT HAPPEN, TONY! 6 1
Jamal Posted May 6, 2022 Posted May 6, 2022 Enjoyed both the opening tag and the Riho/Yuka match. Good chemistry between Ruby and Toni. 4
