MoS Posted July 1, 2020 Report Posted July 1, 2020 They have been building this and next week for a long time now. Hopefully they deliver. Quote
SmoothS Posted July 1, 2020 Report Posted July 1, 2020 One thing I have realized about AEW.. They are reliable, and I have 100% faith that they will deliver. It's the "other company" that I have no faith in. I barely have that much interest in NXT anymore unless it's a Johnny Gargano match. Quote
MoS Posted July 2, 2020 Author Report Posted July 2, 2020 Jericho on commentary and MJF on the mic are gold. Quote
sek69 Posted July 2, 2020 Report Posted July 2, 2020 I popped for Jericho channeling his inner Hugo Savinovich with the lucha commentary. Quote
MoS Posted July 2, 2020 Author Report Posted July 2, 2020 The set is pretty cool. Jericho has already made this match feel better than it actually is. Quote
Coffey Posted July 2, 2020 Report Posted July 2, 2020 Jericho name-dropping the band Anvil popped me. MJF calling Jack Perry "Jungle Jabroni" got me too. "You ever have pyro, you masked idiot!?" Match has been entertaining too. Good start. Quote
MoS Posted July 2, 2020 Author Report Posted July 2, 2020 Heel MJF v. Face Wardlow could be intriguing Quote
Coffey Posted July 2, 2020 Report Posted July 2, 2020 I won't be able to watch the whole show as I have to leave for work in an hour but this is the first time I've turned on AEW in a few weeks. It's honestly been quite entertaining so far. I don't regret it. Quote
SmoothS Posted July 2, 2020 Report Posted July 2, 2020 The tone of the show was set strong by that match. ***3/4 for that one. A more epic ending would have been 4 Star for me. Time for Jurassic Express to hit the Tag Team ranks. MJF and Wardlow will split soon after hearing, "Can you do anything right!?". MJF looked like a star wearing pink, BTW. Quote
SmoothS Posted July 2, 2020 Report Posted July 2, 2020 Penelope Ford is a better wrestler than Kip Sabian. Quote
Log Posted July 2, 2020 Report Posted July 2, 2020 I had no feelings about Sabian, but that was some dumb shit when he blatantly threw the stick in the air when he got punched. Quote
MoS Posted July 2, 2020 Author Report Posted July 2, 2020 I feel I will end up liking this match more than most. It felt more like an actual knockdown dragout fight than most AEW matches feel, even though they inserted a couple of cute spots in it. Shida retained as she should. Quote
SmoothS Posted July 2, 2020 Report Posted July 2, 2020 **** for me. Hikaru Shida is an awesome champion. Penelope Ford has a bright future, and she needs to drop Kip The Drip. Quote
MoS Posted July 2, 2020 Author Report Posted July 2, 2020 Kip is to Penelope what Seth was to Becky. Thankfully WWE actually rectified that fairly soon. Quote
SmoothS Posted July 2, 2020 Report Posted July 2, 2020 Kip is Seth??? . One is a total loser, and the other has been a winner from day one. But I guess I kind of get it. Quote
SmoothS Posted July 2, 2020 Report Posted July 2, 2020 "Waffle House menu" Let's see if Cody can carry this dude to a great match with superb storytelling. "Rock hard", does not sound right.... Hell yeah, the legendary Terry Funk!!! Quote
MoS Posted July 2, 2020 Author Report Posted July 2, 2020 Seth has been a loser since the time he became a main eventer in WWE. Just a complete dork. Speaking of losers, Hager is here! Quote
Coffey Posted July 2, 2020 Report Posted July 2, 2020 The biggest difference between NXT & AEW to me, from flipping back-and-forth tonight, is that in NXT, not very many people feel special or like stars. Like that opening women's four way is just a nothing match. Meanwhile, in AEW, so far each match has felt like the people in the match were stars. Io/Sasha on NXT I'm sure will be different but their card is not something that looks like they're too concerned with trying to "fight" against AEW on Wednesday. Quote
