[The Natural]

I think it's the first time ever I'll skip two AEW PPV's in a row, AEW WrestleDream 2024 and AEW Full Gear 2024. My interest in AEW is at an all time low post AEW All In 2024.

Used 3e worth of Google Play points, so the double tap of Full Gear and World's End is now purchased for 37e. For this price, even a lesser quality PPV would do, but WrestleDream, for example, ended up being very enjoyable, when viewed in 3 parts.

And since I have negative interest in WWE at the moment, AEW still has WAYS to go before I will consider not getting one of their PPVs.

[stuntmanc]

Im pretty upset I won’t be going to this, as I chose seeing Dillenger Escape Plan in Philly over it, but will definitely be ordering a replay the following day

 

even if AEW isn’t totally grabbing me at the moment, I don’t think they’ve ever had a PPV that didn’t over deliver in my eyes.   Would’ve been nice to hit two PPVs in a year

I just looked that show up and The Red Chord is playing again? Last I knew Guy was a cop in Manchester NH and that's a pretty shitty group of people... 

I should go to this show. Dimitri's awesome and we used to talk on a weird little NJ/PA-scene-adjacent board with a few other random folks associated with DEP and Ink & Dagger. Good folks for sure. 

[KriskitaKoloff]

Dimitri sings for DEP again? I havent seen them or the Red Chord live in like 20 years now.

Yeah, they're doing a Dimitri era reunion tour. No suggestion of any new material, but I'm trying not to begrudge them the pay day, even if I will always be a Greg guy.

[stuntmanc]

I saw them up in Brooklyn with Deadguy and Callous Daoboys a few months back and they killed it with Dmitri.  I thought that was it, but then they announced more shows and i definitely had to go again.  I saw them with both Greg and Dmitri and both of them are amazing in their own ways.  Really looking forward to this.

[KriskitaKoloff]

I'm always going to be a Calculating Infinity guy so Dimitri is my favorite. 

So since Darby isnt on the PPV yet, what are the chances that him and 2 others face off with Death Riders for the trios titles? 

[Hail Sabin]

It depends if he survives Claudio on Dynamite 

[hammerva]

So many matches involving guys that probably shouldn't or can't afford to lose and will probably lose.   You have to expect that at least one of Garcia, Statlander, Swerve, and Orange will win to make it look reasonable

[MoeCristyV.1.6]

If Swerve wins, Hurt Syndicate look like Nexus. 

[HarryArchieGus]

Wow, they totally made good on the use of 'November Rain'

8 mintues 57 seconds of the best PPV promotional work they've ehhh-ver done. I nominate Spacemen 3's 'Revolution' for February/March. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IW8ZAgTp_n0

where/how did you use play points to purchase the PPVs?

When I got the Triller app, I chose Google Pay as the method of payment. Then it started asking if I wanted to register for Google Play points or something similar, so I clicked yes on that one after awhile. I buy all the PPV's via Google Pay and also 2 of my 3 monthly subscriptions (TNA+ and Honor Club) so the points eventually add up. Then you can use the Google Play points to buy Google Pay credit (100 points for 1e) and this is what I have been doing this year, especially since Triller doesn't have the credit system anymore. That was like buy 6 PPV and get enough points to purchase the 7th with those.

One women’s match (I’m sure they’ll speed book something for Zero Hour). That’s weak.

Expecting an Acclaimed break-up and Caster joining Hurt Business and interfering to give Lashley a win.

Think they were teasing Mina turning on Mariah at the celebration.

Lots of good matches, we’ll see how I feel Saturday.

If Mina gives Mariah a gift and the box is human sized I'm going to really roll my eyes, but that would be a very wrestling thing to do. There will definitely be some fighting at the celebration, just unsure if Mina will turn on her or Toni will crash it.

[stuntmanc]

Toni Storm channeling Terry Funk and inexplicably using a black and white chainsaw to saw out of the box(in a...."timely" fashion as opposed to Funk) would make me feel likeI got my money's worth 50x over.

[Zimbra]

Takeshita vs Ricochet for the International title added to the card.

My one big hope for this show is that someone has been in that chubby costco kid's ear and showing him Kemonito spots.

Someone said to me they would expect another 3 or 4 matches, which might be high, but not surprising.

Deonna Purrazzo vs. Anna Jay is the match speed booked for Zero Hour

Well, at least it has some build behind it. Not a lot, though.

[Casey]

They’re going to build up to Anna Jay/Tay Melo versus Deonna & Taya in a street fight to close out the last episode of Rampage. Mark my words.

Better Lovers > Dimitri era Dillinger. Yeah I said it.

I can't choose between Greg and Dimitri. I've never gotten to see Dillinger, but they're definitely on my list of bands to see before I die.

Since Anna started interacting with The Vendetta, I've been hoping it was building up to Tay returning to even the odds. So I'd be down with that.
