Forget Bandido, I want Vikingo again. That second match of theirs was fucking insane.

I would like to see Mortos wrestle and especially even more, team up with Hechicero.

That depends on what sort of mood CMLL is in, and how much Rocky Romero can sweet talk them.

As I said the other day, CMLL will eventually CMLL this up, probably over something innocuous,but for now, I’m sure they will take TK’s money to let Jericho work the Anniversary Show and put their titles on TK’s wrestlers.

Darby Allin now with 2 title shots in two months! He has to win one of them, or he's gonna look really bad, right?

Also, Jarrett is really getting over as a face, right? That's something else!

Jeff is getting over!

I ofc want Danielson to have a nice long run if he goes over Swerve at Wembley but maybe a quickie reign dropping it to Darby in NYC at Grand Slam could be in the cards for us?

This is indeed the case. Tony said on the post-DBD media scrum that he's come to the realization that ROH would have a lot more value as AEW Ring of Honor, saying it would benefit from even more association and that it's not crazy to think ROH could be televised in the WBD family. 

I mean shit, he could've also just done it three years ago when I said exactly that lol

On the real, however, I'm quoting to say that I really enjoyed the vibe of this building for yet another week - it felt more NXT than NXT does now. They could do a heck of a lot worse for ROH than running tapings there - wondering if this TX residency may have been a "backdoor pilot" for such. I really enjoyed the editions from Universal, and this had a much larger and raucous crowd

Collision this week seemed like it was going to run over the two hours multiple times, but somehow didn't! Another great show! And a new intro song, I wonder what happened there.

 

Meltzer speculated budget cuts.

The FFWD button relieves me of having to watch a First Pinfall Three Way, but still, I must ask, why are guys on the apron waiting for a tag when there are no rules?

Because, in the early portions of the match, only the person who is legally tagged in can get the pinfall. However AEW 3 way matches have a match structure where at some point the ref get exasperated, gives up enforcing the rules and decides he's just there to count to 3.

Oh baby! This is f'n MAXIMUM Only in AEW booking. These are the bones they throw out to dudes like me who miss the days when AEW was a big goofy indie packed wall to wall with Wrestling For The Sake Of Wrestling. This is why, every damn week, when I start thinking "Burger King AEW is just not for me any more..." I end up getting stoked to watch anyway.

 

 f'n NICE one!

Edit: GOOD HEAVENS! They have also booked a rematch of one of the absolute best matches I ever saw live and in person (2019 NJ Cup in Nara Centennial Hall, just a short walk from my place)

Beast Mortos and RUSH on the same team? Black Taurus and El Toro Blanco?

Can we give Roddy Strong the nickname "Grey Bull", so he fits in?

Interesting. I suppose that's acceptable and only a little bit convoluted.

I will not! I have wanted Vikingo vs Bandido since Vikingo vs Kenny and Bandido vs Jericho!

I've said that it would make an adequate opener for a ROH PPV!

Edited July 30, 2024 by Shartnado
A good opener that nobody will see!

[Technico Support]

I'm sure Ospreay vs Archer will be fine, but it's such a glaring example of AEW's bullshit TV booking philosophy.  Give someone we haven't seen in a while a few meaningless wins and to "build" them for a foregone conclusion match match nobody in their right mind believes they'll win.  I know that shit worked in the 70s and 80s and Tony is a student of wrestling but Jesus Christ.

[JLowe]

Claudio Castignioli facing off with Brian Cage is a perfect depiction of “functional muscle” vs “show muscle”

[Curt McGirt]

So your WAR six-man now includes A FREAKIN' WAR ALUMNI. Holy shitballs.
