Saying something racist somewhere, probably.
Hmmm.
This is the thing people thought was going to be Okada isn't it? Proper upgrade.
Yep...
I thought Okada is pretty much confirmed for AEW now?
Virgils dead
At least he won't be lonely any more.
Dementia and colon cancer double whammy. Poor fella. Hell of a pop when he finally nailed DiBiase.
And multiple strokes for good measure. At that point, the body wants death.
And I'm out again.I'm making my AEW comeback at Revolution next weekend, there's no way I'm missing this:
Meat Madness Match
Powerhouse Hobbs vs. Wardlow vs. ??? vs. ???
It's been changed to an "All-Star 8 Man Scramble" with Jericho in it.And there's two unnamed participants still. If that fucking cokehead debuts Okada in a shit fest like this he needs crucifying.
I will probably just watch Takeshita vs. Ospreay the next day and assume the rest of it is the steaming pile of shit it's lining up to be. Although the FTR match might be interesting, just to see how they cope with Moxley no-selling all their shit.

I’m out the loop with AEW but hoping this PPV is my gateway back in. I’m scared to even look at the card though.
I'm a twit
To be fair it's on the whole a good card if you're not bothered about it being set up by spurious booking.
Rick
Definitely rehearsed that for a couple hours
21 minutes? Fuck that.
It’s good. He even goes after Cody’s dog.
Not gonna lie, this is some good marketing.
Thank fuck we're getting Heel Hollywood Rock out of this BUILDUP!
I actually disagree with this. You can see far more live, especially if you're in decent seats. I understand why they do it, but footy broadcasts follow the ball so much that you can't really work out what's going on tactically. I fucking can't, anyway. I watch loads of games on tv, and often haven't really got much of a clue about what's going on, except for the obvious. Whereas I could bore you all to death with the minutae of West Brom's shape, tactics and strategy for our disastrous 2008/09 premier league season, and even some of the teams we played to an extent.
When we got battered by Utd, it was actually pretty mesmerizing seeing how they built attacks with wave after wave of pressure from Ronaldo, Berbatov and Tevez, in a way that you wouldn't quite see unless you were actually at the game.
It's a bigger problem for me watching NFL, cus I really haven't the foggiest about how formations and routes and stuff work, until they show the replays.
Rock/Reigns v Rollins/Rhodes night one.
Rollins is definitely eating the pin from gasman
100%. Don't think that whole segment needed to take up a third of the show but despite Rick talking in circles while he remembered his lines I did enjoy it, between all the bants and Reigns very clearly hating being outshone and all that. Plenty of good work going on in there.
My other highlight of the show was KO on comms for the main event.
"I untied his shoe!"

Yeah that was good.
Theory might be the new Ziggler. Freak athlete and seller. Turn him face so we can see his cool moveset. I think they’re going down that route anyway with Waller turning on him so should get a decent and deserved WM match for then
Sting's retired with an undefeated record in AEW? Tony, you fucking mark. Naturally, Tony has to come out bawling because he can't just let the moment happen without him.

The alternative was letting the Bucks win in North Carolina. It would have made for a nice riot I suppose.
On the topic of North Carolina, what the fuck are they doing with FTR? Moxley has choked them out on TV for weeks so then they go and tap out on the PPV. Absolutely buried their best tag team in their home town. Bizarre shit and you can only think Moxley is giving it the "doesn't work for me brother" shit backstage these days because he never sells and wins all the time (and now I've typed that out, it absolutely makes sense him coming out in Road Warrior gear).
Clown of the night goes to Darby Allin. I think he's great but that was one of the dumbest spots I've ever seen.
RIP lad.
Fans looking at their phones and/or not bothered about him. Guy killed himself for a two second pop then nobody cares. AEW's problem in a nutshell.
You people are so joyless. You'd be on here crying about how unsafe Taker throwing Mankind off the cell was if we were around then.
Well it was. No denying it was memorable but when you've got the man's wife and FUCKING TERRY FUNK pleading with him to not do it then maybe us miserable folk have a point.
Darby Allin's not seeing his 40th birthday is he? He's great at absolutely flinging himself around but he's got to be made enough now to not have to go that far.
Turns out Cash might be doing some porridge in the coming months.
It's not about money. He's just one of those mentalists. Tony gave him a week off and he was doing 40ft backflips off a ramp on a tricycle that was on fire. He's off to climb Everest now.
Glass has no place in wrestling. A completely moronic spot.
To add, the fact that the one guy was just stood there staring at him, waiting for his teammate to come and grab him - why couldn't he just move out of the way himself? It's not like he was lying prone like they usually are in these spots.
Then you get the fact that the glass went flying into the audience...
Whoever put that spot together is a retard.
Welcome to AEW. Now there's no Punk and MJF, it's just indie wrestling with a big budget.
Indie Wrestling is good.
That spot where Ospreay no sold a piledriver was grim followed by a kick out at 1 by the Jap. I don’t get it
Just realised that with the Sting win that the titles will have to be vacated
IT'S TOURNAMENT TIME BAY BAY
Blame Gargano and Adam Cole. That Chikara/PWG bollocks was confined to backyards before they brought it to NXT, which was still super hot off the back of Owens, Zayn, Balor, Nakamura etc. and it conned fans into thinking that style was hot stuff. Which at the time you could argue made for some great matches but it got vastly overplayed very quickly and now everyone watching wrestlers of that ilk knows they don't need to give a shit until the Stormbreaker/Hidden Blade super combo, by which point they've missed the audience's peak energy for the match because they've still got to get all their shit in.
I remember him being properly chucked down some stairs in a minor thing that could easily have put him out a while with an ankle injury as well, I guess though without that side of him you wouldn't also get this absolute magic
Great bump by Miro too. Got his hands up right at the last moment. That would have looked a lot more fake yet dangerous if it was one of the friends gang.
Going to assume Miro won that match as he's gone pure 'That doesn't work for me brother' now.
Shame as he was onto a good gimmick after binning the gamer stuff but now he can fuck right off.
Tony needs to cut at least 50% of his roster then maybe these guys will start working hard for their 500k per year instead of punching Sammy Guevara in the face and being paid to sit at home for two years.
Tony tried signing up any reasonable name that WWE cut loose for ages and he seems to(to his credit really) hate releasing people unless conduct dictates he has to, so all of these people have to sit twiddling thumbs until their deals run out.
You really can tell he grew up watching 90s WCW.
Imagine how many times he would have feared for his life in THAT backstage area.
I'd have loved to see him try hugging one of the many roided up wrestlers.
He’d end up getting knifed for real by Tank Abbott.
Tank Abbott was in WCW?!?!?
I really liked him in the early UFC events.
Tank Abbott was arguably at his best as a member of Three Count. He just loves to have fun!
