MoS

The matches have been good to great to amazing, though. AEW always does long PPVs, but I genuinely believe this is one of the best PPV shows they have done ever

That was tons of fun, tremendous work. Best AITA since the first one, by far

Ricochet-Briscoe was awesome. This is amazing lol, love it

I thought it as a good match but went too long and meandered in the middle

Tremendous match between Mercedes and Hayter. The crowd being so hot helped.

Both go-home shows were excellent, in particular the promos by both sets of Owen Hart finalists. DoN has shaped up really nicely.

Great episode of Dynamite, but can we please get a cage match with no interference?

Sabu and X-Pac's match was arguably more influential than the Eddielenko matches. Sabu finished 2nd on the WON wrestler of the year 1994 ballot. His influence is ridiculous. RIP to an icon.

Yeah, that entire Ricochet-Gowen angle was hilarious, in a good way. My only critique is Ricochet should have beaten up Gowen with that prosthetic leg

Joe v. Claudio slapped hard. This Joe v. the Death Riders feud has been great

Hangman has completely eclipsed MJF as a promo. As someone who has been batting for Hangman for seemingly years now, this is extremely satisfying to me

Best news to come out of WM week!

Excellent Collision to follow one of the GOAT Dynamites. AEW is on a roll

Yeah, this is the funniest part. Dude joined in June 2024 and is lecturing others about why the board does not get as much traction as it used to before social media became the juggernaut it is. This is like when Dave Scherer used to say how he had got "many messages" from fans who totally thought Scherer was amazing and Meltzer is an idiot.

This might come as a surprise to you, but people can do more than one thing at a time. Posting on a message board does not preclude you from doing something. So you can take your "Y U NO DO SMTHNG ELSE!!" someplace else. My heart bleeds for the poor WWE fans not posting about WWE here cuz we are engaging in thought control. So noble of you to be so worried about site traffic. The rest of this bullshit is just "wah wah wah people who oppose fascism are acshually just as bad as fascists if they are not apologetic about it, why can't we just respect DIFFERENT OPINIONS like how fascism is not that bad, HURR HURR 1984 HURR HURR George Orwell!!" rubbish and does not merit a response, but congratulations on working on the worst, most incompetent presidential campaign in US history. You did a tremendous job. Maybe you should have stuck to just posting stupid shit on the internet, would have done the world a favour.

What bullshit. WWE is actively displaying their politics in PR interviews literally arranged by them, but somehow talking about this triggers the fragile people who do not wish to admit that the promotion they like is actively complicit in the fascist bullshit happening in the world. If you are so afraid that the meanies are going to judge you for liking WWE, feel free to post on Elon Musk's Twitter instead of whining and crying and demanding to talk to the manager here. Who exactly is stopping you from talking about wrestling? All you need to do is not click on the thread which explicitly focuses on how WWE is bad, and post in the many other threads about the wrestling in WWE. Why can't you do that? Why does it upset you so much that people post about the awful shit that WWE does in the thread explicitly focused on exactly that topic? "They are afraid they will be bashed", get over yourself. Sorry that the wrestling promotion you like is going out of its way to make its politics extremely clear.

This episode was my first time watching Josh Alexander, and I was very impressed. Seems to be a fantastic professional wrestler.

TK loves to book "Challenger loses first match in what turns out to be an excellent match, and wins the title in the rematch". And that's perfectly fine, but he should book more upsets and "surprise" results than he does. In that regard, the trios title change was a wonderful and welcome surprise

That was, quite comfortably, one of the best Dynamites of all time

It was definitely a bit surprising just how unremarkable she seemed after winning the world title. Power of a great angle, I guess -makes wrestlers feel far better than they are. TK better sign Swerve, Hangman, Ospreay and Toni to like, 5-year deals. They are going to carry AEW for many years.

Caught the FTR segment and FTR-2.0 on Collision. Tremendous stuff. AEW at its best.

Oh absolutely. Going through the quote tweets and I had forgotten just how many absolutely horrifying bumps he took in his career, from his match with 2 Cold Scorpio at Superbrawl all the way back in 1993, all the way to the very last flying headbutt he did in his life, at least on camera. You could make a top 25 list of absolutely sickening head bumps taken by Benoit for every year of his career.

Not to make light of an awful situation, but this discussion reminded me of this fantastic tweet - https://x.com/snowboiiii/status/1792864611290505269

The Bucks and Omega are the last people who should be doing this face-to-face promo battle. I cannot think of wrestlers more unfit for that trope

I really think this was the PPV where they should absolutely have ended it. If nothing else, it would have given the impression that significant things may happen even on seemingly B-PPVs. If they just telegraph that nothing is going to change until All In, what's the point of purchasing a PPV prior to it?
