John from Cincinnati Posted October 10, 2019 Share Posted October 10, 2019 So much stuff from that period is completely blurred together and indistinguishable in my head. I remember nothing of Desmond Wolf outside of a couple matches with Kurt Angle. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AxB Posted October 10, 2019 Share Posted October 10, 2019 You don't remember his awesome catchphrase "Bow to my howl"? For AEW Dark next week: An Eight Man Tag, and Janela vs Omega Light's Out Unsanctioned. I dunno what the pre-show dark matches were though. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

John from Cincinnati Posted October 10, 2019 Share Posted October 10, 2019 I love that people are still calling these "dark" matches, when they're really just filming a beefed-up Main Event for Youtube. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
elizium Posted October 10, 2019 Share Posted October 10, 2019 You're right, they should be called Dark matches. 5 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Casey Posted October 10, 2019 Share Posted October 10, 2019 There was a bunch of crazy shit during Omega/Janela, if the videos on Reddit are anything to go by. That's going to be a nasty match. Speaking of Janela: 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I still would like some enhancement matches to establish wrestlers movesets, as well as give a guy like Shawn Spears something where he doesn’t look like a total geek on some weeks. Plus, Tully has been doing a hell of a job in his new role that he doesn’t deserve to be associated with a total loser. I honestly hope they have another guy lined up for Tully. Crossing my fingers for a pairing with Wardlow.. Edited October 10, 2019 by LoneWolf&Subs 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jiji Posted October 10, 2019 Share Posted October 10, 2019 Looking at a couple of clips, Janela and Omega went all out in their hardcore match. Hell yeah. And I have been mostly not watching that Bucks conversation series on YT but Janela is an interesting dude and I enjoyed his episode. Talks about the Enzo and Cass stuff among other things. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NikoBaltimore Posted October 10, 2019 Share Posted October 10, 2019 I'm so tempted to try and find that match online somewhere but I think I'll try and wait until Tuesday. I could stand to exercise some more patience in my life anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nice Guy Eddie Posted October 10, 2019 Share Posted October 10, 2019 (edited) If Tully were in Impact, I'd obviously pair him with Tessa, but I also think Tully managing The North would be a good combination. He needs somebody else besides Shawn Spears that isn't a job guy. I think Jake Hager would have been a good fit with Tully. I also like the aforementioned idea of putting Tully with Wardlow.

Jiji Posted October 11, 2019 Share Posted October 11, 2019 Havoc's is a rip off of AFI and Darby's is a like a mashup of most every goth punk song from the '80s ever. Funny that the knockoffs are the only ones half decent (other than Riho's, which is the best). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Casey Posted October 11, 2019 Share Posted October 11, 2019 Well, Darby's is done by an actual band with a Bandcamp page, so... I recognized Dustin's immediately last night, but I've heard Jimmy Havoc's AEW theme quite a few times and it's not ringing any bells when it comes to AFI songs.

Jiji Posted October 11, 2019 Share Posted October 11, 2019 (edited) He used this in Progress. It's great and so was he for that whole run.

If they didn't want to get called out on it constantly, they should've avoided mentioning it in the first place. As I said before, wins and losses can matter without record keeping. Also this "let's not be as overly critical and over analytical" response is similar to an answer Meltzer gave to something AEW related a little bit ago, but then he proceeded to be overly critical and overly analytical about something WWE did. Hypocrite. It's just sad the AEW fan base goes all up in arms when fans do to their product what they usually do to WWE. This. When they hype something as a differentiator from WWE, it’s fair to hold them to that in just the second week. Cody’s explanation was fine, but everything he said about their wins applied to PAC more. He could have easily said they’re already with negotiating with PAC for a title shot, while Allin/Havoc are having to fight to earn one, or that their records simply reflect the fact that few people have distinguished themselves this early on in the show, so they’re give two guys with some good early performance a chance to earn a shot.

StretchMediatedHypertrophy Posted October 11, 2019 Share Posted October 11, 2019 His AEW theme reminds me of Mr Kennedy to be quite honest. 'Paradigm Shift' can fuck off too - he's not giving TED Talks. Seriously retcon that stupid name immediately. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, I love her theme and it sounds like something you'd play on a DDR machine. I also like Pac's theme as while it doesn't exactly fit him I am a sucker for drum n bass music.
