Jenalysis Posted September 30, 2021 Share Posted September 30, 2021 Great feelgood show tonight. Stoked for MJF/Darby. MJF should be able to hang with Darby. Sammy winning was a nice surprise, Hubers getting DO on same page was another feelgood, and I loved the new Tayjay theme/gear. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Infinit Posted September 30, 2021 Share Posted September 30, 2021 Fantastic show all around. ARN IS A GANGSTA....! Amazing victory for Sammy...will be interesting to see how Miro pivots moving forward. And Hangman has to win the ladder match next week...right? 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DEAN Posted September 30, 2021 Share Posted September 30, 2021 I don't know what I liked better, Sammy winning or the absolutely awesome Dark Order match. And I loved the Moxley/Kingston/Allin vs Bear Country/WHO? match. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NikoBaltimore Posted September 30, 2021 Share Posted September 30, 2021 (edited) Okay, one giant negative before everything else. I know some of you were saying how MJF really isn't that great a heel. Well tonight it cemented that for me. Cheap tactics, wishing people were dead and liking less-liked people from the other company. If that's what it takes for him to get heat then fuck that noise. But if anybody should go to WWE it's him. Dare I say it he by having limits on him MJF would actually be a better heel. With that out of the way the matches were pretty damn good complete with Arn packing heat, Sammy winning a title, Cody on his own island and most importantly Amanda and Brodie Jr. As soon as she came out with the papers and all it got really misty here. The rest of the show was great but this was the only thing that mattered to me. Edited September 30, 2021 by NikoBaltimore 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Coletti Posted September 30, 2021 Share Posted September 30, 2021 (edited) Seriously, the ending stretch of the main event was so well laid out that every time it hit another beat I got more hyped, and when all the pieces fell into place I was clapping in anticipation of the payoff. So fucking good. Sammy earned it and Miro is a goddamn tremendous professional wrestler. Edited September 30, 2021 by christopher.annino 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John from Cincinnati Posted September 30, 2021 Share Posted September 30, 2021 (edited) Arn Anderson is clearly unhinged. Hope Cody can find someone to bring more stability to the team.

See, I've felt this way before, but I think the way Darby totally no-sold it and MJF just IMMEDIATELY runs away was absolutely perfect - it showed that MJFs paper tiger mic time bullshit is just that. 11 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hagan Posted September 30, 2021 Share Posted September 30, 2021 One thing with Max is it’s inevitable that he’ll fall into the same issue that Max Castor did and say the wrong thing that’s gonna piss off the people on Twitter who make the most noise about stuff.

Jiji Posted September 30, 2021 Share Posted September 30, 2021 (edited) As previously mentioned, tsn preempted this for bullshit American sawkur, so I missed up until the finishing sequence of the jungle boy match. Was a very good finishing sequence but Cole can leave the shocked kickout face in nxt thx. Middle portions of the show felt like a house show and that's fine. Arn with the Glock rules, Dante can fly, Dark Order stuff was feel good, and next couple shows look very nice. Miro is my man. Not sure this was the right time for him to lose but Sammy is a good choice and it was a genuine shock on a big night for the company and the TNT title. Miro is AEW's Brock Lesnar and never has that been clearer than that missed splash bump over the top to the outside. What a beast. Great match. Loved the Fuego and Kingston nods in playing a part in Miro's downfall. Edited September 30, 2021 by Jiji 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zimbra Posted September 30, 2021 Share Posted September 30, 2021 I really didn't think anything would top Martin's huge tope as dive of the night but damn if Sammy didn't come through. I like them putting the belt on Sammy. Miro is over with or without the title and it felt like Sammy was starting to get lost in the shuffle a bit. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The promo segments were not so good tonight, which is unusual for AEW lately, but yeah Glock and more importantly I like the four pillars reference.

That I really did like but all that showed to me was Darby is a much better face than MJF is as a heel. He did his part at the end but MJF's officially a "change the channel" type guy for me now. EDIT: Okay, reading this I'm starting to wonder "Gee, maybe I'm getting a bit sucked into this too much" so I'm sure I'll look at this tomorrow going "Damn, man, settle down." I'll have to think about this and see how his tactics stack up to past heels. But as of right now it just doesn't work for me. Maybe a feud with Darby will help things out but we'll see.

chriskbrown50 Posted September 30, 2021 Share Posted September 30, 2021 I liked that both set of women's team wore matching outfits. It gave the match a big feeling. It was far from perfect but it was a very good match. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gordi the former AEW fan Posted September 30, 2021 Author Share Posted September 30, 2021 That was a GREAT two hours of pro wrestling. Amanda Huber Miro, and Sammy were the Hockey Night in Canada style three stars. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jiji Posted September 30, 2021 Share Posted September 30, 2021 How great was Miro's selling? The Angle tingly fingers, bumping perfectly at his size for that Spanish fly. And Sammy brought it fighting from underneath and throwing himself with full force at Miro. Beautiful match and they didn't go over the top at the end. 12 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I liked the package/pretaped stuff like FTR and the hype for Friday's three-way, looked great. One thing that feels off to me is Lambert/MOTY. Those three can all talk very well but somehow it ends up less than the sum of their parts. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EVA Posted September 30, 2021 Share Posted September 30, 2021 I still have no idea why they paired Lambert with MOTY. They don’t need promo help, and he killed the crowd for them before they could even speak tonight. Hats off to Ethan Page for getting into the zone and stopping the What chants. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I get why they did it. They were directionless after Sting and Darby and they have martial arts backgrounds to varying degrees. But it is weird. Lambert is a fantastic motormouth but the pairing doesn't feel right. What was with Lio coming back as a stonx bro? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HumanChessgame Posted September 30, 2021 Share Posted September 30, 2021 So Lio Rush is wrestling again and is some kind of bitcoin ponzi scheme guy? I missed the first half of Jungle Boy/Cole but liked what I saw. As someone who has neverbeen that high on Cole this was a great match. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
