Dolfan in NYC Posted February 17, 2023 Posted February 17, 2023 I was going to make a joke about the Cow Palace being torn down, but it apparently still exists? Now that's some California NIMBYism at it's finest. THE CARD! ONE HOUR IRONMAN MATCH FOR THE AEW WORLD CHAMPIONSHIP - MJF (c) vs. Bryan Danielson THREE WAY MATCH FOR THE AEW WOMEN'S CHAMPIONSHIP - Jaime Hayter (c) vs. Saraya vs. Ruby Soho FOR THE TNT CHAMPIONSHIP - Samoa Joe (c) vs. Wardlow FOUR WAY MATCH FOR THE MEN'S TAG TEAM CHAMPIONSHIP - The Gunns (Austin/Colten, c) vs. The Acclaimed (Bowens/Caster) vs. Jay Lethal / Jeff Jarrett vs. Danhausen / Orange Cassidy FOR THE TRIOS WORLD TAG TEAM CHAMPIONSHIP - The Elite (M. Jackson / Omega / N. Jackson, c) vs. House of Black (Black / King / Matthews) TEXAS DEATHMATCH - Jon Moxley vs. Hangman Adam Page Ricky Starks vs. Chris Jericho * Christian Cage vs. Jungle Boy --- Based on recent news, I'm assuming the loser of the TX death match will have his power cut off and freeze to death while being told it's his own fault. 9 1

Nice Guy Eddie Posted February 17, 2023 Posted February 17, 2023 One of the two mystery teams has to be FTR, right?

ChesterCopperpot Posted February 17, 2023 Posted February 17, 2023 Well - there's one tag team battle royale on Dynamite next week - and on the following weeks Dynamite - that's the Casino tag team battle royale.

John from Cincinnati Posted February 17, 2023 Posted February 17, 2023 Unless they've re-signed and there are big plans for them, why bring FTR back to TV just to beat them again? They lost three straight on the way out, let it rest. 3
zendragon Posted February 17, 2023 Posted February 17, 2023 Is it really a texas death match if its not in texas and neither man is a texan? I kinda think The Acclaimed get the belts back, but the four way makes me think The Gunns hold on to them a bit more via flukey sheinangians 1

matt925 Posted February 17, 2023 Posted February 17, 2023 They’re at 6951 tickets out right now. I think it will get to 8k just on the sheer momentum of producing an event, but it surely won’t be momentum of hot angles and matches unless these next two dynamites are something else. I’ll post about the live experience. This will be my first time at chase and I’m looking forward to the sexy new building. The contrast between chase and the cow palace 5 days before will be something else. 2
zendragon Posted February 17, 2023 Posted February 17, 2023 Apparently Dax said he wants to come back before April now... 2
NoFistsJustFlips Posted February 18, 2023 Posted February 18, 2023 (edited) This show (and AEW in general lately) seems pretty directionless. I still enjoy AEW. And there's still a bunch of good matches every week. But the buzz that had been there, the feeling that most of what was happening was can't miss... that's kinda all gone right now. It seems like I say this every PPV cycle, but I wish they would start announcing a couple matches more than a week or two out. One of the biggest benefits of only doing 4 PPVs is having time to really advertise and push things and make them seem like gigantic events. You lose all of that by waiting until two weeks is left to announce your matches. Here's to hoping some big angle is in the works to spark some momentum. I miss how things felt after All Out 2021. Punk was back. Cole & Danielson debuted. The first Grandslam was upon us. How do we get back to THAT excitement level? Edited February 18, 2023 by NoFistsJustFlips typo 8 1
Jrag Posted February 18, 2023 Posted February 18, 2023 (edited) Matches have been great this month, but the overall build up and excitement isn’t there. Not saying they need a Bloodline level story or anything, but Tony has lost some of the magic these last few months. They are trying to differentiate themselves from WWE, which is a good thing, but maybe they are doing so in the wrong way? The shows are missing something imo. They are definitely missing SOMEONE. Edited February 18, 2023 by Jrag 2
matt925 Posted February 18, 2023 Posted February 18, 2023 Actually sorta thinking about this. Just $10 to get in and watch the festivities. You can drink beer and take pics with the wrestlers. $250 to be the fifth person on one of the 10 wrestlers teams. I wouldn’t do that but I actually think that’s pretty reasonable. And it’s a charitable donation. We’ll see, I asked a friend if he wants to go. 4
zendragon Posted February 18, 2023 Posted February 18, 2023 How do you not put QT on the poster for that? (And Wardlow?)
Gorman Posted February 18, 2023 Posted February 18, 2023 I would love to do live commentary for the bowling event, only for Jake to grab me from behind by the shoulders and take my microphone. (From This Side of the Mic, Version 2, Chapter 17) Sometimes, (my daughter) will come up behind me and give me the Jake Grip, and I'll say, "Ahh! It's Jake the Snake Roberts!" 2 1
dorfus malorfus Posted February 18, 2023 Posted February 18, 2023 You don't wanna bowl with me cuz I cheat. You bowl a 7-10 split, I bowl 7-11. You bowl a strike, I got two of those too. 4 6
HumanChessgame Posted February 18, 2023 Posted February 18, 2023 I'm watching Rampage now and am hoping the trios title post-match staredown means we're getting HOB/Elite which would definitely pique my interest. 1
zendragon Posted February 18, 2023 Posted February 18, 2023 anything that gets Buddy and Kenny in a ring together is good 2

But yeah, that will be something to look forward to! 1
zendragon Posted February 20, 2023 Posted February 20, 2023 This was the second challenge. HOB tried to send a message by putting Brandon Cutler through a table but I guess the elite didn't really care
The Natural Posted February 22, 2023 Posted February 22, 2023 AEW Revolution 2023 is 5th of March but it'll go out at 01:00am UK time on the 6th of March. The 6th of March is my birthday. Happy birthday to me, even better if Bryan Danielson wins the AEW World Championship while knowing he won't. AEW Revolution 2021 was on my birthday weekend, 7th March at 1am. The 8th UK time. AEW Revolution 2022 was the 6th March as I went to see The Batman with my Dad/Aje but it went out on the 7th UK time at 1am. AEW Revolution 2023 is the 5th of March but will be on my actual birthday as it'll be the 6th UK time at 1am! The 51st Anniversary of NJPW will be on my birthday UK time. IWGP World Heavyweight Champion, Kazuchika Okada teams with Hiroshi Tanahashi going for the IWGP Heavyweight Tag Team Titles in the main event. AEW Elevation and WWE RAW is the 6th of March USA time, the 7th over here. John Cena returns on WWE RAW. MLW Underground debuts on Sky. Lot of wrestling for my birthday this go round! It's too early in March for WWE PPVs unlike my Sister on the 22nd of January. I've had UFC PPVs either on my actual birthday or my birthday weekend. 1

Go2Sleep Posted February 22, 2023 Posted February 22, 2023 Gotta figure Top Flight will be one of the 4-way teams given their recent push. I'm hoping for Claudio/Yuta for the second. I wouldn't be upset if FTR came back, but I'd really like to see them explore the trios scene when they get back (with Mark Briscoe as faces, or Punk as heels).
