  1. Lights out! Lights on!

    Who?  
     

    Great show.  Another. Great. Show. Another. Great. Crowd.

    Punk/Penta delivered.  Even if the top rope rana was a botch.  It was beautifully covered by a total pro who covered it with some great selling.  Rookies take note.

    Tag Title match exceeded my expectations as I’m kind of cold on both teams.  But hey!  Here comes my favorite team in FTR to stir the pot and build of the hard work of an excellent match.

    Speaking of exceeding expectations.  Wardlow is blowing my mind with how over he is.  I was laughing with joy at the whole segment.  Everyone gets a cookie.

    My highlight of the show was Lee/Swerve vs. Starks/Hobbs.  Stole the fucking show for me.  Lee seems a tad slower than I’ve seen him in the past but his hard work pushed it through.  Starks was great.  Hobbs I think really had a moment last night and I’m here for it.

    Ortiz still had the shoes come match time.  Loved it.  6 man was decent.

    I love me some chop battles.  So tonight was my night.  The novelty of Suzuki being on North American television won’t last forever if he keeps losing.  But yeah vs. Joe ruled all the ass.  
     

    I love you AEW.

  2. As someone who unfortunately bought a ticket and actually WENT to Survivor Series 93.  I can say from personal experience the worst Hart brother is indeed Keith.  Bruce at least THOUGHT he was something.  Keith Hart couldn’t sell refreshments in a heatwave.  Did no one coach him up on being a Hart?  Do some Bret stuff as a set up for a quadruple sharpshooter spot and go home.  
     

    That show overall was basically snakebit for a menu of other reasons.  But Keith Hart was complete unremarkable shite.

    The sheer amount of quality wrestling given to us on a week to week basis is mind-blowing to me still.  Maybe it's because I'm still, even after a few years of AEW, getting past the WWE model of endless PPV's, mindless drivel TV shows, but man, i look forward to the cards weekly and I'd make a strong wager that every show, every week has a dream match for someone watching.  IT's awesome.

    This is where I strive to be.  I’m in pure escapist mode.  I just can’t be bothered over who said what in some interview or social media post.  That would be a distraction from my distraction.  
     

    Later I’ll get a kick out of how much you all seem to be enjoying the show when reading your posts.

  4. Well… I finally got my Christian match. Woo!  Good to see him have a match with AC.  Crowd was fire.  Liking it!

    Welcome back to Massachusetts Joe.  We love him here ever since winning the NXT title in Lowell.  Whooped that Caster ass.  But those bars ruled it.  Wicked Pissah, dude.

    Its kind of hard to recall a lot of the rest of the show as FTR/Bucks reached levels of Wicked Pissah Awesome heretofore unseen in New England in quite some time.  
     

    I just about shit myself when Uncle Dax actually caught Nick in mid air for the power bomb.  That foot on the rope could not have been better timed.  While the last match was more of a parade of tag team finisher greatest hits.  This was more about how all The Bucks big moves and shenanigans just weren’t paying off this time.  FTR put them down hard.  
     

    I love you, AEW.

    My biological father passed away today. We had a very complicated relationship. 

    First things first.  Condolences on your loss to whatever degree it effects you, yourfamily, and friends.  No matter what the circumstances are of your relationship with him.  I’ll guess it’s no small thing that he not be here any longer.  That’s the shit end of the stick.  So respect for having the guts to mention it.

    Your post is attention getting for me because it’s a look into my future.  Only two lines long and reading it I’m like: “Fuuuuuck.  That’ll be me in a minute.”

  6. Enjoyed the shit out of this show.

    The FTR/Briscoes is worth it.  MOTYC without question.  
     

    Anywhere Joe goes.  I am pleased.  
     

    Edit: Yes.  The Lowell Memorial Auditorium is a great venue.  ROH and TNA have also run there IIRC.  But I really know it from all the NXT house shows I went to there. I went to all except the one where Joe won the NXT title goddamnit (and the 205 Live house show they held there that had Matt Hardy vs. Bray Wyatt on it for some reason).

  7. Weeeeeeeee!

    I fucking LOVE AEW. (duh)

    Welcome to manhood Wheeler Yuta.  

    Mox helped turn me around on Lethal quite a bit.  Even though I knew Mox was winning. That sell of the leg by Mox gave Jay miles of cred in the match that he wouldn’t otherwise have.  The Lethal Injection has a massive blind spot in execution that have been exploited a couple of weeks in a row now.  However, this week, he was ready for it and did the Bret Hart counter to the Bulldog Choke.  Slick.

    Killer diss track from Max Caster.  More please.

    The Bunny sure seems a lot more than she used to be.  Getting onboard with this much improved performer.  Toni Storm is ok.  We’ll see.

    Andrade and Darby was a quality Main Event.  
     

    I find myself reading everybody’s responses to AEW closely.  I’m really curious as to how differently people seem to perceive the product.  In contrast to years or reading posts of frustrated fans baffled by the odd and often nonsensical choices made by WWE.  It’s still refreshing a couple of years in to see wrestling fans ENJOYING wrestling again.  I know I am.  I’m even thinking of buying the ROH show on Friday.  
     

    This is awesome.

  8. I enjoyed Moon Knight episode 1.  The episode itself wasn’t nearly as violent as I’d heard suggested in media.  Of course they held back a bit in part to sell how mind fucked Steven is.  
     

    But it was certainly more violent than the run of shows D+ has released thus far.  

    Anybody have a clue how or if it’ll be woven into the MCU at large?
     

     

  9. I’m down for whatever Sammy’s doing these days.  His second reign with the TNT Title blew the first one out the water.  The ladder could be argued as one of the best ever.  
     

    It’s certainly been a bumpy ride for the guy.  But he continues to level up at just the right pace to put him into an eventual concrete main event position.  
     


    Tay IS pretty hot.  ?

  10. Another largely enjoyable episode of Dynamite.  Though I doubt it’ll be remembered as an all time classic.  
     

    Weird that Ex called Punks miming a call out to Hangman as a reference to the Dog Collar Match.  Especially after doing the familiar belt gesture.  Good match from Punk and Dax.  
     

    MJF continues to impress me with how little he gives a shit about any negative responses to his promos.  The Jesus one liner or suggesting the crowd to hop the rail AGAIN.  Somebody give him the Jerry Lawlor in 93 version of the Sharpshooter and the crowd will go banana.  Sorry kids.  Best heel in the business getting heat by playing with fire.

    That being said.  MJF ain’t got shit on me.

    It'll be nice to see Bret again

  11. I’ve mentioned before my primary interest in these games is to support my simfed.  I largely believe I’ll be able to use 2k22 for that purpose.  

    BUT…

    The fucking game crashed during the first live stream.  Ugh!  It killed an otherwise decent show.

    More patches please.

     

  12. Super fun show that continues to make me not miss watching WWE anymore.  I have been antidoted.

    Great Trios match.  Great crowd.

    Great big milestone moment that potentially could be a big deal further down the road for young Yuta.  Loved it.

    Hardys got a great reaction and a very good match from PP.  “No more kids for you.”  Lawls.

    I really liked the Jericho segment.  I’m not as enthusiastic about the name “Jericho Appreciation Society” when he keeps saying “That’s Entertainment”.  That should be the crowd name.  
     

    License Face to Faces cover of the song to take “Judas” away from the crowd sing-a-long.  It’s practically an anti-entrance theme.  Booooo!
     

     

    Another brutal Britt Baker/Thunder Bae match to cap off their feud for awhile.  You don’t practice getting powerbombed in the fucking thumbtacks. Congratulations TB!  ❤️
     

    Edit: Bring on Regals Wrestling Revival vs. Jericho’s Entertainment Weenies!

    I love you AEW.

  13. Perhaps the match Janela had early on with Omega put the cap on him?

    It seemed to get some hype prior to the match as the first Main Event of Dark (iirc).  For what should have been a milestone match for Janela ended up pretty much forgotten.  Plus, I’m sure, it didn’t help to be in a locker room full of gods.

    Spitballin’.
