Peck Posted May 6, 2021 Share Posted May 6, 2021 (edited) Yeah, what was with the cameramen fixating on guys pulling their blades out of their tape? At least maintain some sort of illusion. lol Jericho too on top of the cage. Thought the climactic bump/scene looked a little lame but it's the ending of a big AEW show so that's to be expected.

tbarrie Posted May 6, 2021 Share Posted May 6, 2021 Well, Moxley and Kingston's plan for Omega certainly turned out to be a work of genius. But Blood and Guts overdelivered, so that's really a nitpick on a great show. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John E. Dynamite Posted May 6, 2021 Share Posted May 6, 2021 (edited) 99% spot-on hematological Crockett/death worship, 1% dookie lookin' crash pad. A great match overall but a worrying trend after the barbed wire fireworks debacle. Edited May 6, 2021 by John E. Dynamite 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Natural Posted May 6, 2021 Share Posted May 6, 2021 (edited) Having heard its Kenny Omega vs. the winner of PAC/Orange Cassidy at Double or Nothing 3, that's an underwhelming PPV main event unlike Blood & Guts. I'd have preferred that there and you'd get no adverts. Edited May 6, 2021 by The Natural 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EVA Posted May 6, 2021 Share Posted May 6, 2021 Man, I don’t care how gimmicked the stage was, I don’t see too many other 50 year olds taking nutty bumps like that, so I will not stand for any Jericho slander in this thread. 7 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Curt McGirt Posted May 6, 2021 Share Posted May 6, 2021 (edited) Our Blood Tally was (I believe) 6/10. Sammy both of FTR (Cash killed it) Jericho MJeff Spears Match was great until the crash pad... and in between the fucking commercials. There were a couple moments of people really eating shit, Sammy flying off the rope to nowhere and Hager slipping about, not to mention Santana falling under the ring not once but twice. I love that shit though. Hager really came off as a beast here. I joked in the chat that the next one will be AEW High Incident. Maybe Spears could be the one to fall through the tables.

J.T. Posted May 6, 2021 Share Posted May 6, 2021 (edited) Great match! Tons of blood, awesome spots, tremendous psychology, right team went over. Not much more you could ask for. I also think that the baby face beatdown of the heel team went on a bit too long, but that's water under the bridge. Padded stage or no, Jericho is fucking nuts for taking that bump. That's like my old ass jumping off the roof of my house. God bless that crazy bastard and fuck the haters. The finish was perfectly fine. Rest of the card was acceptable and next week's show looks great on paper. RIP Darby Allin. You got a belt, so you got a problem, kid. MIRO IS COMING FOR YOU~! I damn near passed out when they announced Mox vs. Nagata. HOLY SHIT~! Edited May 6, 2021 by J.T. 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
For Great Justice Posted May 6, 2021 Share Posted May 6, 2021 We need to start the Darby/Miro hype thread RIGHT NOW, daddeh. Do you book it like Cena/Brock at Summerslam? You do, right? Like, there’s NO WAY Darby is gonna pull this one out. Right? 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brandon Bones Posted May 6, 2021 Share Posted May 6, 2021 Enjoyed the show as usual. B+G was a lot of fun with the expected blood cacophony. Ending was really too soft to match the tone of the violence that preceded it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But I reached deep back in memory and... it's genuine excitement for a weekly wrestling show. Love it. Can't wait to see how it plays out. Would love if this did a monster number. I know we shouldn't be consumed with ratings and the nuts and bolts like that. But it's an instant gratification of other people enjoying what you enjoy. No idea how they will go with the finish. But my $.02 American says let Wardlow murder everyone to the point Jericho is scared Sammy is going to die and he gives up to save Sammy's life. Of coarse after it's over Wardlow still murder deaths Sammy. No matter how it plays out, just happy to be legitimately excited about a wrestling show again. 2 hours ago, NoFistsJustFlips said: Noticed something about the photo. Don't look here until after the show ends... Reveal hidden contents Clearly someone is taking a bump off the cage. There's like 50 empty boxes on the stage that they will setup as a safe platform to land on. Kinda wish I didn't look at the pic now. But oh well. Still hyped! ETA: Oh shit there also appears to be a gimmicked hole in the bottom right of the ring on the right. Credit where credit is due. You pretty much called it. I thought the finish played as pretty damned Sports Entertainment-y and the commercial breaks drove me nuts, but that was still one hell of a match that had me legit marking out a bunch of times. Next week looks insane. Mox v Blue Justice. Miro v Darby. Bux v SCU. Damn. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Natural Posted May 6, 2021 Share Posted May 6, 2021 Next week's packed with Mox/Nagata for the IWGP United States Championship, Allin/Miro for the TNT Championship and PAC/Orange #1 contenders match for the AEW World Championship. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zendragon Posted May 6, 2021 Share Posted May 6, 2021 (edited) Inner Circle in the prison jumpsuits reminded me of Team Hulkamanias going Guerrilla Warfare agains the Dungeon of Doom. Really loved the match, good creative finish. I really wasn't expecting a Pinnacle victory. Loved Sammy as fiery white meat baby-face, kids a star now he gets to avenge his mentor ku fu movie style. Only problem was too many big spots (Tully opening the door, FTR tearing up the mat, Spears taking off the turn buckle) ended up in picture in picture. Not sure if that was intentional to get people to keep watching during the breaks but I didn't like it. Edited May 6, 2021 by zendragon 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zakk_Sabbath Posted May 6, 2021 Share Posted May 6, 2021 Easily the best War Games since the first NXT one, maybe the '90s. I don't understand the crash pad talk, was MJF supposed to shoot murder a guy? 8 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
