He's been doing the legdrop since he returned, he mostly does it to get heat. Not sure he needed in the Joe match but I didn't mind it.

I wonder if there's gonna be any suspension stemming from the Perry/Punk altercation. Tony has to come up with 3 big cards in the next 5 weeks with All Out (some matches announced but doesn't seem we have the main event yet, unless it's Omega vs Takeshita), Grand Slam and Wrestle Dream. Doesn't seem he can afford losing Punk again.

Tony just confirmed that next year he'll book All In and All Out in back to back weekends again (and Chicago will continue to get that PPV) He also said AEW will make money for All Out this year just with ticket revenue (that will be over 1 million) and even if they don't sell a single PPV they'll be making money for that weekend.

I was sports entertained by that main event. Also, that coffin match was crazy, lol. FTR closing this incredible 2023 run with a tag title match against Darby/Sting is the right thing to do. A very entertaining show, I hope it's was good enough live for next year's show. Tony sure loves his PPVs on a local holiday.

BTW, JR has got to leave the commentary booth. He's a detriment to every single match he calls/comments.

FTR vs Young Bucks was great. My only complain is the suplex exchange between Dax and Matt (though I did appreciate Dax fighting through it and showing struggle to get control) but the rest really well done. The kickouts were big but it worked 100% and it was really cool how they were able to get that whole stadium on their feet.

Punk vs Joe was a blast. Loved the Funk's tributes and Punker finally hitting the Pepsi Plunge for the W was an awesome touch. Great opener. BC Gold vs Kenny/Ibushi/Hangman was fine but the stadium atmosphere kinda killed it in a way. It's a match that needed a more heated atmosphere and that's not gonna happen in a 6 man tag in a huge place like Wembley. About to start the tag match. Surprised at the card order so far, I guess the point is to let the crowd breathe as much as possible before the main event?

I thought this was interesting Danielson would probably never answer Shad's call because he barely uses his phone. And if he did, I highly doubt he'd take the gig.

This one hurts. Rest in peace to the GOAT.

I couldn't understand what that tweet even means to be honest.

I can't believe that with Bushiroad's business going to shit in the last week, and needing SOMETHING to get some momentum back, the announced matches that are aimed to sell tickets for the next Sumo Hall show is this pitiful shit NJPW "DESTRUCTION IN RYOGOKU", 09.10.2023 Tokyo Ryogoku Kokugikan - 7 Match Series 7th: Yuji Nagata, Shota Umino & Master Wato vs. Minoru Suzuki, Ren Narita & El Desperado - STRONG Openweight Tag Team Title: Alex Coughlin & Gabe Kidd (c) vs. El Phantasmo & Hikuleo - NEVER Openweight Title: David Finlay (c) vs. Tama Tonga - IWGP World Heavyweight Title: SANADA (c) vs. "King of Darkness" EVIL

Oh man, Eddie against Hero with a whole stadium at his disposal? bah gawd.

Hausman's report on the whole thing is hilarious https://www.hausofwrestling.com/2023/08/14/more-on-christopher-daniels-others-not-at-aew-collision-exclusive/ This dude is too fucking old to be acting like this And The Elite continue to get all these stories out to repeat the same cycle: 1) there's a good feeling about something related to Punk. 2) Punk can't help himself and does something to stir the pot publicly (via interview, social media or AEW TV). 3) We get a number of new negative stories related to Punk. 4) Punk falls back. 5) Go back to 1). We've been waiting 11 months for that and it doesn't seem it will ever happen.

That's awesome. Eddie was so fucking happy (and nervous) at their first meeting. Him getting to do this interview is gonna be a complete nerd out, lol.

Just look how fucking happy (and nervous) Eddie is in his first meeting with Kawada.

Damn, people already forgot we got Punk/Joe IV a month ago, lol (well, technically that happened a long ass time ago but no one counts their non title and non-ROH matches).

Welp, MJF vs Cole for Wembley is official. Not the strongest segment but it got the job done, I guess.

Omega also reportedly was the only member of the Elite who was fine with Punk coming back or even doing business with him. Given how vastly different both reports are, I wouldn't believe either one.

I can feel the carnyness going through my veins. Wembley gonna have a ton of fun with this one.

Could care less about the Bucks or even Hangmayne, but AEW needed Kenny to stay so, good.

Yeah, they gotta ride MJF/Cole for as long as they can.

So, MJF/Cole vs FTR was the only thing being promoted with legit effort for Saturday's Collision and they faced very tough competition with Spence vs Crawford and the UFC card. And the audience showed up anyways And this Saturday they have to face Summerslam. Let's see if they can keep momentum.

Or maybe it's the selling point of All Out. Regardless, it should be the main title match for one of those PPVs. Shit, run another MJF/Cole tag match at Wembley and let 80k people go wild at their act, they are on fire right now. Last week I was complaining that it seemed Punk had dropped the "real champ" angle and that same Saturday he went right back at it Also love how Starks has gone right back to feeling like a main player in this feud with Punk.

Punk should intercede on behalf of Will Ospreay and block Jericho's carny ass from having that match. I understand that the politics and negotiations involved for a 3rd Omega vs Ospreay match in an AEW only show make it almost impossible for it to happen unless TK offers something crazy to New Japan (and they might just not want to give that matchup up regardless of what's offered). But I think an Ospreay/Takeshita vs Omega/Ibushi tag match would be a best case scenario for everyone involved and it would make more sense storyline wise that whatever the fuck this Jericho/Callis angle they are running with that no one gives a fuck about. Besides, if Jericho really does get his wish, does that mean he turns face and rejects Callis? The possibilities of that are so shitty I regret even typing that.

That's cool as fuck for Eddie, legit happy for dude.
