AEW Fight For The Fallen

[NintendoLogic]

Baker's never going to live that down.

Riho out here proving that the "tiny person who takes a beating but always fights back" is one of those things that never won't get over in wrestling. 

[Coffey]

I feel like this match would have been a lot better if it were just Riho Vs. Priestley. 

[sek69]

First time seeing Bea in action, I'm guessing Will Ospreay doesn't start any arguments at home.

[C.S.]

Did subtitles just show up for anyone else?

Yes

[sek69]

Yup

[Coffey]

Honestly, Britt Baker is wrestling like she's concussed. 

[C.S.]

They're mostly gibberish subtitles too. This is so weird.

[sek69]

Someone pressed the button to make closed captions available to everyone instead of just those who enabled it.

The first few minutes had GREAT Fantastics level arm work from Priestly and her partner. To her credit, Rihi didn't use that arm the rest of the match. There were some noticeable flubs but another fun pre-show match. They are hyping Baker as the leader of the women's division and she was by far my least favorite person in there. I loved Priestly and want to see more of her. I want to see more of the joshi girls too so they have that going for them as well. 

[Childs]

Seems like it's fixed.

Britt has worked a ton of my local indies and while she isn't perfect, she looked way off tonight. Definitely seems like something was wrong.

I like this building set up.  Nice to see something different other than the cookie cutter arenas.

[goodhelmet]

Well... that was the best pre-show they have done so far. Thumbs up!!!

[goodhelmet]

The fact that the heels didn't just beat the piss out of Darby Allin while waiting for these long entrances really bothers me. 

[Coffey]

Darby Allin is 22-years old. He is billed (according to Wikipedia) as being 5'8", 180lbs.

For comparison sake, playing football in third grade at age nine, I was 5'6", 180lbs. 

And I'm pretty sure his stats are exaggerated.

It kinda works when you figure part of the story is the heel team doesn't like each other.

[sek69]

LA Park should do a run in and kill Shawn Spears for stealing the Chairman gimmick.

You do realize the average 9-year-old isn't that big or tall, right?  

[Kevin Ridge]

I like MJF getting actual boos.

[C.S.]

MJF has an annoying face.

He'd get a huge reaction! I'd pop for his punches too. I actually like his pairing with Salina in MLW. 

Salina would also be a big get for anyone. I'm not sure how ironclad the MLW contracts are. 

[Coffey]

Unsurprisingly, the crowd is white hot & awesome tonight. 

[Kevin Ridge]

Janela telling Cornette to fuck off and I'm just shaking my head on why a apron bump is being used in opening match.  I don't even watch much current wrestling but those bumps are tiring yet reckless.
