This crowd is nuts, who knew France was so starved for rasslin.

That crowd was pretty great though. International shows are always a fun time.

Seems like the takeway from that survey is that Voices of Wrestling readers (listeners?) want AEW to be like a US version of 90s All Japan.

The stache really makes Dom look like El Hijo del Eddy

Mahomes was a pretty impressive get, I'll hand it to them.

Yes, but isn't that part of the appeal of Danielson though? His whole deal is that he's an expert level technical wrestler that is going to slice you up like it's biology class. The way he can do that and still connect so well with the audience is what makes him GOAT status.

Jesus Christ, Darby has to defy death just trying to cross the goddamn street

Surprised Kiana got the call up, not that she isn't ready but there wasn't even the slightest hint she was wrapping up yet. Hopefully it's not going to be another callup with no plans. I dunno about this quick squash match deal with Bron either. I get they are trying to get him over as an unstoppable badass but I feel like wrestling fans who aren't terminally online see short squashes as a way to hide that someone is a shit wrestler they don't want to get exposed.

Interesting that Dave's reaction basically that you can say that about Vince but it wasn't cool to say that about the whole company, when clearly there's still people working there who were directly or indirectly involved in everything. Also it seems like showing the Punk footage was not that terrible of an idea now? It set the stage for Jack's return, and even made sure he got a babyface reaction to make the heel turn hit even more? Sure it was motivated by pettiness, but they ended up using it for business as well I could see the new Elite being "get shit thrown at them like the early nWo days" level heels acting like complete corporate douchebags, and I suppose Kenny and Hangman are going to be on Team TK. I still want Shad to come out and cut a Godfather-ass promo threatening to kill a motherfucker for hurting his son.

Time will tell indeed, but they couldn't have sold that This is Serious Shit any harder than having Big Bad Dad Shad make his debut.

You're not wrong in the least, but I fucking love it that Jericho turned the internet's opinion of him into his new reinvention. That's some epic trolling combined with some epic carny work finding a way to make money off it. That's some HOF level work, bubbas.

Stardom ladies being a semi-regular thing in AEW is going to be a hoot. Also, Kenny stopped as short as humanly possible calling Rossy a pedo on one of his livestreams. What was possibly more alarming is that he heavily implied it was an open secret and people who want to praise him better watch their words because they'll end up looking really bad if/when the full story comes out. Made me think of all the times Cornette made off color jokes about Kenny being around underage Japanese girls, and how it might end up he was the one protecting them.

If I was Baron Corbin I would never want to leave NXT. He has a purpose there as a veteran for the young pups to work with and will just end up floating aimlessly on the main roster if he goes back.

Surprised how much Blair Davenport and Sol Ruca were killing each other in a match with a cheesy hardcore gimmick. It was probably a fun match to have tho, I've 100% hit people with those boogie board things when I was younger.

Bubba @KawadaSmile gonna have to update it to BECKY MUST POSE now.

I'm guessing Will showing concern is going to play into him breaking off from Don Callis finally.

Holy fuckballs this match

The best part of the Bryan Danielson Amazing Match Tour is how he clearly can't hold back that he's loving this shit.

So it looks like Wardlow is about to get Sting'd by the rest of the Undisputed Kingdom, guess MJF is coming back soon to save him?

I suppose some folks were upset about Max's rap? It was a little spicier than normal but it's PPV not TV so I didn't see anything wrong with it.

Not that I am aware of

Holy shit do I want to see a Eddie Kingston/Brody King match now.

Douchebag heel Okada is so great, the timing is off the charts.

I saw it mentioned that the problem with the gimmick is how no matter what her opponent does to get the story over, her character doesn't take anything seriously. Deonna was putting over how they grew up together in wrestling and Toni basically no-sold all of it which took a lot of the air out of their feud.

at the very least I would imagine he's become very good at building mental barriers on things like this just out of survival.
