TK is saying on Twitter that the overrun tonight could be close to 30 minutes, lmao. I hope everyone important in the company makes an appearance and Lashley shows up with MVP. The top 2 matches might last a combined 90 minutes as well

The simulcast for Dynamite and Collision on MAX is great fucking news. Ratings talk is finally over. Attendance talk about to be the hot commodity for Cornette and Bischoff, lol.

Those trademarks are mostly for merchandising. Danielson's agent got the "YES YES YES!" trademark a couple of months ago when WWE didn't renew it. It seems they got one over the phrasing without the exclamation mark. Still, they can't stop people from chanting nor pointing their fingers. And even though I can see Dragon not doing it to avoid ruffling any feathers, both him and the fans did it when WWE still had the trademark. Tony censoring it would be beyond stupid:lol:

I'm dying at him saying "fuck Jon Moxley" all peacefully and shit Danielson getting as much matches as possible out of the way before he puts his buddy over in Tacoma. The match has been made official and it's title vs title it seems, as they've said the Continental belt is only on the line for the first 20 minutes (its TV time limit). Does Ospreay and Ricochet open the show with a 30 minute draw? Hangman vs Juice is actually the match I'm most intrigued about. Also, a lot of talk that they will actually announce the new TV deal. TK do loves his symbolism in his wrestling.

crazy how a good editor can make Dave sound.

As with most of the series, episode 6 was a mixed bag. This whole thing would've been much, much better if it solely focused on Vince and didn't worry itself with telling 40 years of the history of WWE. Explaining concepts and key moments? of course, and they actually did an awesome job at that. But they were way too ambitious and try to fit in too much stuff that didn't really add anything of real value. Tony Atlas was the MVP of this. Meltzer came out looking really well too.

Ep. 5 was so bizarre. They had something going the McMahon family stuff and then just drop if for close to 30 minutes and pick it back up for the last 10. And that half an hour in between was not worth it.

Of the three I've watched, ep.3 is the best one.

Wouldn't be shocking if the point here is Mox almost killing Bryan, getting belt and by late 2025/early 2026 -with Mox's reign long gone- they run it back with Dragon returning. I just don't want a heel Mox title reign, sick of the company always going back to him as champ. The fact they have this Danielson story for literally anyone else(worth a damn, of course) that could use it just makes it worse, lol.

So glad MVP and the Hurt Business are gonna be in AEW, they are gonna be a dope addition. Nigel was impressive as hell for a 20 minute match after 13 years. I hate that I'm still upset about this Mox shit, I just can't get passed it.

Finished ep. 2. Once they stop showcasing WWE mythology -even if they try to downplay it as such, it's still annoying as hell to watch/listen for the 100th time- and start trying to tell the story of what was going during all the lawsuits and allegations of the early-mid 90's it finally started to get interesting. Still, nothing really new in any of this but at least it's less offensive than the first 80 minutes.

Ep. 1 was bleh. Way too much Hogan (who is as unreliable a source as you can find) to make it compelling. Hearing so much from Vince could be interesting in the coming episodes from on this first one he didn't say anything that really grabbed my attention (all the bits about his dad could be compelling for a lot of people though). Best part was them explaining wrestling and why it has the potential to be so popular. Hopefully ep.2 is better.

Well damn, what happened this week? lol. I just saw the Roman/Cody promo from SD and holy shit, that was fantastic. Made me want to watch the PLE and I haven't seen much of anything since Rock left after WM.

I think the Nigel stuff would've worked much better as a lead in to All Out instead of Grand Slam and without the "will Danielson be cleared?" angle. Instead of Jungle Boy answering the open challenge, have Nigel do it and everything about it is better.

That sounds like a "lets make them mad" idea that 2010s WWE proved it doesn't really work in current wrestling. It gets big heat a couple of weeks and then people tune out or stop caring

I wouldn't go back to match between them anytime soon but Swerve's been out and WrestleDream is in his home state, I highly doubt he doesn't show up and messing with Page makes sense as payback and a good pop.

Skipped through 90% of the show. The Nigel video package was really cool. I wonder if Yuta can turn his career around with this angle and he finds himself a character that can connect with the crowd in a meaningful manner. The highspots of Mortos/Richochet were cool as hell, as expected. Jarret is gonna have such an awesome brawl with Hangman, WrestleDream seems to be the obvious choice with Swerve returning to pay Page back for All In.

The amount of patience, good booking and great execution needed to make all this shit worth the trouble of not doing the basic thing here (have Darby win the belt in his hometown in an awesome/potential classic match with Danielson) is not a realistic scenario for me, which is why I'm so against it.

I don't understand a lick of Japanese but even still, this was cool as fuck to watch Would love to know what Yuriyan (who plays Dump in the Netflix show that is about to premiere next week) was saying that made Dump and pretty much every choke up. The picture at the end was wholesome as fuck. The match looked amazing, I can only imagine how Korakuen shows would look like with this level of production, just picture one those matches that trigger "Korakuen magic".

I hope you are right man. They already made the mistake in 2022 of putting Mox over Danielson to set him up as MJF's opponent to dethrone. And in the end, it really didn't do much for MJF. Instead, it was the Iron Man match with Danielson that truly helped Max go up a level as champ. If this time around they do the same for Darby, having him chase Mox in 2024/2025 instead of just giving Darby the major rub of going over Dragon....man, that is not worth cutting Swerve's run short at All In. Moxley can cut all the awesome promos he can/wants but a win over him is just not bigger than a W over Danielson. Don't waste WrestleDream on Mox.

I just don't care for another Mox world title run. We already went through this in 2022 with the same wrestlers. Mox having a new gimmick does not make it worth it

They had a 3.3k set up and sold 2.7k according to WrestleTix. Sad thing is that Grand Slam was at 3.7k sold a week ago. They'll be lucky to sell 6-7k (in 19k building) and get a ton of comps to try to fill half the place up.

I'm still upset that fucking Mox is gonna end his title reign. Save us Darby! pleeeaaaaaase Hell, I'll take Nigel winning in a shocker at Grand Slam, lol.

Kentucky crowds have always been AEW's worst so I'm not surprised. Nigel with the Danielson match announcement had 100 people reacting to it, lol. It doesn't help they are in a 20k building and there's like less than 3k in there either.

Show was excellent. Felt Mercedes/Shida and Dragon/Perry went 5 minutes too long each but they were still damn good matches. Opener was really good. Skipped most of the tag match and the 4way. Don't give a damn about Bucks matches in 2024. I hope we get a proper Okada vs Takeshita feud, it's time to give Rainmaker a real rivalry. PAC vs Ospreay was exactly what I expected. Not the style I prefer but when it's done at that level it's impossible not to have a blast watching it. Stat vs Willow was fucking awesome. I loved how they forced the crowd to care immediately even though they were following Bruv/Pac. Swerve vs Hangman was fucking insane. I knew they were going to go crazy but I was still caught off guard by all the shit they did. On one hand I liked how uncomfortable the crowd was, barely reacting to any of the nearfalls. they didn't really care about who won they were just watching a horror show. But on the other hand, if the match would've had a hot atmosphere it could've surpassed the Texas Deathmatch. Alas, a dope main event anyways. I swear, if Danielson stopped Swerve's reign only for him to put fucking Mox over AGAIN and give him the "retired Dragon" gimmick I'ma be PISSED. I know he's legit one of his closest friends in the biz and the one that convinced him to sign with AEW but come on, give that rub to someone that actually needs it.
