MJF is a treasure.

If this is a planted spoiler then this exposes what a boring dipshit troll you are. Fucks sake.

WTF are you talking about???

Not sure how it's a spoiler when Becky was literally the first thing on a show openly advertised to feature top stars from other brands.

You obviously don't like me, for reasons unknown to me (I barely know who you are, in all honesty), so do us both a favor and add me to your ignore list.

Should have given MJF the mike after the end, so he could go crazy on the Elite and Billy Gunn.

Agreed. Page winning - hope that's not a spoiler - is the most boring outcome imaginable. Everything with his push feels so forced.

Wow, the champ gets pinned in a tag match and it actually builds to something. What a novel concept.

And I assume that will build to an SCU vs. Santana-Ortiz feud. Love a good story with multiple layers and follow-up.

Teasing a Luchasaurus vs Hager hoss battle, be still my heart!

[MoS]

Jericho is such a star. He has no problems looking vulnerable, or even getting clearly manipulated by the face into giving a title shot - funny how wrestling is better when faces outsmart heels- and yet you absolutely buy him when he says he is the greatest of all time. He is having the run of his life here.

Exactly, a spoiler you plonker. Yeah cheers I’ll make use of it. You’re utterly cringe.

A spoiler about something that happens in the first minute of the show...okay. 

But I'll keep NXT talk out of this thread...fair enough.

I'm disappointed that you've decided for no reason to dislike me, because I'm genuinely marking out at your use of insults like "plonker."  

Oh well... 

[MoS]

Yes a squash!! Luchasaurus is awesome

Thought it was cute the way Babysaurus jumped up to high-five him and whispered "good job."

[MoS]

I also like how Dynamite flows. Luchasaurus was next in action but he did not sit back and let the heels beat up faces, and came out to help, and then quickly squashed someone to get even more over. 

[MoS]

Not sure what happened there, but that kind of sucked the momentum out of the match.

[sek69]

I'd bet money if Vince turned on AEW he'd probably ask why the Street Profits are on the other company's show.

[Migs]

So what streaming service do I need to watch a bunch of Hikaru Shida matches? She's awesome.

[C.S.]

PP's finisher is insane.

[MoS]

Good promo for Omega, but I do wish they would have more interviews in the ring and on the stage. Interacting with the live crowd makes it feel better, especially if the crowd is hot  and the crowd tonight has been really hot.

[Badlittlekitten]

Thank the lord they’re doing something with Kenny Omega. I don’t know what the fuck that was but I was in stitches by the end.

[sek69]

I'm digging Darby as the skate punk Undertaker

[hammerva]

I love the idea of allowing basically a tribute match for a guy that has never worked for AEW or anywhere that the Bucks worked in Matt Travis.  It helps that two of the best tag teams were close friends with him and it was a heel vs face dynamic.  Excalibur explaining who Matt Travis was and how he died.  Great touch.  I know this is going to come off as WWE bashing but I can't see this happening on their product except for something like wrist tape or mouthing the words of his name

[MoS]

Mox-Allin was excellent. Both Mox and Allin came across as stars and Mox looks like a complete badass now. Maybe he feuds with Jericho next. 

Loved this episode. I would have rather the women's match was followed by Kong killing both of them instead of a Dark Order promo - and I bet that loses a shit-ton of viewers, especially given how loaded NXT was tonight - and a bit less of Billy Gunn, with MJF getting some promo time instead, but overall, this was an excellent show. AEW are doing a good job of every match having consequences and actual stakes. 

[Badlittlekitten]

Gotta love Moxley. Best he’s looked so far. 

Jericho continues to be on fire and him and Scorpio Sky sold me on the match next week. 

Another good show. PAC/Omega next week, bit too soon?

[MoS]

Listening to Meltzer, the bit where Jericho did not want to say sorry was apparently a tribute to Fonzie from Happy Days. Jericho apparently loved an episode which had something similar as a kid and has been wanting to use it in a promo ever since. 

[Laz]

Totally makes sense. Fonz had issues saying "sorry" and "rude," btw.
