Ramo2653 Posted September 8, 2022 Share Posted September 8, 2022 Dope show, not sure why Toni keeps doing these low impact piledrivers/ddts, they look awkward but not hurty awkward. What's stopping her from using the tiger driver again? Or that neckbreaker/cutter thing she used in NXT for a bit? 4 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eivion Posted September 8, 2022 Share Posted September 8, 2022 Toni/Ford was decent if abrupt with its ending. Bryan/Hangman was good. First time I can recall catching a Page match, and I liked him well enough. Yuta/Garcia was even better with the crowd completely behind Garcia and Wheeler choosing the appropriate moments to be a dick. The post match with the handshake and Bryan wrapping the belt around Garcia's waste as a jealous and confused Jericho looks on was pretty good as well. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ChrisPBacon Posted September 8, 2022 Share Posted September 8, 2022 Really thought I was being worked, but I will fall on my sword with this one. I was just really looking forward to the OG Elite vs CM Punk, Ace Steel, Danny Dominion, and Kevin Quinn 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phantom Lord Posted September 8, 2022 Share Posted September 8, 2022 This was a pretty good show tonight. The start of the show could have been a disaster, but luckily Tony Khan was smart enough to do it in the back and I think pretaped. MJF such a master troll. I kept waiting for him to shit on the Bills and when he did it was beautiful. Moxley really looked like he didn't want to be there which added to his promo. The opening Trio's match was good. I was shocked when Death Triangle won. I figured they wouldn't put two belts onto Pac. Best Friends always seem to come up short in these huge matches which sucks. Storm vs. Ford was all right. Most of the match happened during the commercial which tends to suck for the women. I knew The Acclaimed would get interrupted. It was a great move by Swerve to do it just as the rap was about to start. I can't imagine they would have actually let Max say anything, but this worked better. Nice squash by Wardlow. I have no problems with him being treated like Goldberg. Tony Neese deserved a little better than being demolished though. Hangman/Bryan 3 was a good match. I'm not sure if it is on the same level as the first two, but it was pretty damn good. I was hoping Hangman would win because he honestly needs a big win right now. Yuta vs. Garcia was great. Wheeler heeling it up against the hometown boy was a nice touch. All of this has to be leading up to a Jericho/Garcia pure match and that will be amazing to watch. Overall a good show tonight all things considered. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jiji Posted September 8, 2022 Share Posted September 8, 2022 Why does Tony Khan always make it painfully obvious who is winning his tournaments with angles at the start of them? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nineteen Posted September 8, 2022 Share Posted September 8, 2022 YO! YO! LISTEN! The locker room says things are looking scary But The Acclaimed can save the day like Kenny saved Larry ....yeah probably better to not give Caster the platform to get himself fired tonight. 2 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought the Best Friends were winning this too but hopefully they will finally get it at Full Gear and Death Triangle aren't just keeping it warm until the Elite comes back.

CEO, Owner and General manager thats a Jerry Jones level of self important titles Overall a great reset, seemed like everyone wanted to work extra hard and the knucklehead weren't missed. Loved Ford and Storm laying it in on each other and Swerve is much better as a heel 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

zendragon Posted September 8, 2022 Share Posted September 8, 2022 2 hours ago, HumanChessgame said: TK's opening announcement was the best way they could have possibly addressed this. I was pleasantly surprised at the lack of obnoxious chants from the audience. The in-ring stuff, especially Daneilson/Page and of course Yuta/Garcia was top notch. MJF's promo was incredible. I would like a bit more explanation of why MJF is aligned with Stokley but that will undoubtedly come. Moxley needs to come up short in the tournament and start a heel turn. I thought the opening segment showed what MJF is capable of. Sometimes he's strayed too far into shoot comments and edge lord shit but this was great. Gets the semi-hometown / weve missed you pop out of the way and then he goes back to heel. Mox is a great face of the company, looks and acts like a hard man you wouldn't want to have to take in a fight 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
evidence Posted September 8, 2022 Share Posted September 8, 2022 (edited) After seeing him trying to recruit 10, I feel like all of Andrade's AEW feuds are started because he doesn't understand that no means no. He tried to get the Lucha Bros to leave Pac for him and failed, tried to get Darby to leave Sting for him and failed, now he's doing the same thing with Dark Order members. I know FTR getting the AEW tag team titles is what almost everyone wants but I wouldn't mind Andrade and Rush taking them from The Acclaimed after they have their run.

TheVileOne Posted September 8, 2022 Share Posted September 8, 2022 Someone else posted this on Twitter, but yeah, Tony Khan really owes Jon Moxley a spot in his will after tonight. It was as good a show as you can expect in light of all the chaos. Considering the whole brawl appears to be in legal territory for now, we probably won't be hearing from or about any of those guys involved for a long while. AEW really needed people like Moxley, MJF, etc to show up tonight and they did. I think having Swerve interrupt The Acclaimed's promo was a stroke of genius. I think this will be the perfect segway to putting the belts on The Acclaimed. Swerve costs himself and Keith Lee the belts and turns heel on Lee and they feud. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He needs to keep going down the roster till he gets someone who will say “yes, I’ll join” like Peter Avalon or someone. Except Andrade doesn’t listen and is like “you don’t wanna join me? Then I’ll see you in the ring” ”no, I said I do want to join your team” ”I’ll see you on Rampage, and I’ll kick your ass” 1 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm all in for Tony buying that for Garcia to use. With Tony paying for music for some of the wrestlers, I feel like Kingston needs something like Shook Ones Part 2 as his theme song Edited September 8, 2022 by evidence 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dirty J. Posted September 8, 2022 Share Posted September 8, 2022 Goddang what a show, I kind of missed out on all the backstage dramas, but luckily for them there are still a ton of amazing wrestlers to carry the company. Only negative that I have is that the Best Friends don’t seem to catch a break. Maybe if Chucky T shows a little bit more personality (which he definitely has) they could carry the faction to the next level. I’m kind of glad they ditched Wheeler and Statlander, they are a solid trios team that always gets a reaction from the crowd (and AEW og’s).

DreamBroken Posted September 8, 2022 Share Posted September 8, 2022 THIS IS DADDY ASS'S HOUSE! One of the most over stars in 2022, Billy Gunn. Love it. I thought for sure that was the Best Friends' moment as well, sad it was not to be. Moxley was killer in the promo. In hindsight I wish he could've just retained and continued his epic run. Agreed that Toni needs another finish. That DDT isn't working too well, even Mickie James often struggled with it. Even though she won the interim with it, the commentary was completely confused and thought it was a northern lights counter. Bryan/Hangman was awesome, really dug the finishing stretch. Yuta/Garcia also awesome, great pop. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
