Octopus Posted March 8, 2023 Posted March 8, 2023 Which chaos did you prefer: Samoa Joe vs Darby Allin or Adam Page vs Jon Moxley?
Casey Posted March 8, 2023 Posted March 8, 2023 (edited) Third option: Moxley/Omega at Full Gear 2019. Or even Moxley/Omega in the Exploding Barbwire Deathmatch (which was really good, but tainted by the ending, which is a shame). I love the pseudo-deathmatch stuff that Moxley does in AEW. I just wish they used more barbwire than they do. The two things I hated about the Full Gear '19 and Revolution '23 matches was the underwhelming amount of barbwire, and in particular in the Omega match - the mouse trap board had them too spread out so it didn't get the impact they wanted. That's from 19 years ago. Give me that instead of the three strands of barbwire we get now. C'mon, Moxley! The chair Mox used had more than the two boards. Maybe they overdid it on the chair and ran out, TK couldn't buy any more because he spent the remaining budget on the unnecessary mini-orchestra for MJF. Edited March 8, 2023 by Casey 5

I think I said it at the time and one or two may have agreed with me, but Joe vs Allin 3 felt like modern day Joe vs Necro. Just pure brutality where someone's career is getting shortened. While I fucking love that match, I don't feel like Page vs Moxley was going to chip away at either guy's career and it told a hell of a story with Hangman so I think I prefer that just because I've grown a little squeamish in my early 40s. 4
Casey Posted March 8, 2023 Posted March 8, 2023 While we're talking about Mox, does anyone else get really strong Mitsuhiro Matsunaga vibes from him these days? That's gotta be one of his main influences. Personality wise he's Onita, but in-ring, my god, he's an American version of Matsunaga. 1

Casey Posted March 8, 2023 Posted March 8, 2023 Besides Danielson, it does seem like all involved in the Blackpool Combat Club are leaning heel more than ever. Claudio & YUTA in ROH are definitely heels, either by design or against their wills by virtue of who they're going to be facing soon. Maybe we'll get heel Moxley sooner rather than later, hopefully. 1
DragonZombie Posted March 8, 2023 Posted March 8, 2023 Brian Cage contract news should be out there soon. I don't want to pay for it.
Craig H Posted March 8, 2023 Posted March 8, 2023 I don't think Danielson is in the BCC anymore. He hasn't been seen with them since a few weeks after Regal left AEW. No one from the BCC ever comes out to help Danielson and Danielson never comes out to help the BCC dudes. It wasn't said, but the vibe I got was that because Danielson stopped Moxley from killing Regal, that Danielson was excommunicated from the group. 1

Curt McGirt Posted March 8, 2023 Posted March 8, 2023 Ship him to ROH, he'll be fine there. At this point it's about time for AEW title holders to start sticking their belts in the wheel well.

Maybe they overdid it on the chair and ran out, TK couldn't buy any more because he spent the remaining budget on the unnecessary mini-orchestra for MJF. The trade off is how gimmicked the barbed wire is. There weren't too many strands in Mox/Hangman, but at least a few of the barbs weren't filed down very much because you could see it actually cutting their backs, which isn't something you saw in early 2000s Foley matches. The real violence in that Foley/Orton match was the obscene amount of thumbtacks in the bag. I've always wondered if Orton (having no experience with tacks) looked at the bag before the show and thought that it wouldn't look good and needed more. It seemed like he had some real pause when he was actually laying out the tacks in the match before his famous bump.
AxB Posted March 8, 2023 Posted March 8, 2023 Yeah, but right after the tacks bump they brawled backstage, disappeared for a minute, and then came back with zero tacks stuck in Orton. So he had them all pulled out without taking a single bump with them still in. It’s just a lack of commitment. Stolen valour.

Haven't watched that match in a while, but I thought they were focused on getting the ones out of his hands primarily during that dead time. Edit: Also, whoever stole the gear Wardlow had at Revolution was doing him a huge favor. Edited March 8, 2023 by Go2Sleep

SirFozzie Posted March 8, 2023 Posted March 8, 2023 Random thought: Re House of Black. There was something.. well.. not wrong, but perhaps not as great as it could be, then I realized what it was. All the members of the HoB are supreme ass kickers, but they need someone to talk the talk and let them walk the walk, if that makes sense. Then it hit me what would make HoB more awesome. Gary F'n Hart. Can you imagine the promos he'd cut with the HoB behind him, menacing as hell (both Hart and the HoB looming?) 5

I'd be training, saying a prayer every night to God, and fillin out my will, because I know God don't like me that much to save me from the House of Black.
