In fact, one can argue it's the first truly all time great AEW PPV. They have done amazing matches on PPVs before, but this has never been a great PPV promotion. All time great PPV IMO. Adam Cole isn't my thing but that situation is just an embarrassment for WWE. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Timbo Slice Posted September 6, 2021 Report Share Posted September 6, 2021 It seems like a situation a lot like MJF, where they play off the Mount Rushmore stuff, only for him to say he’s bigger than the group and maybe he gets his own guys together, but there’s an immediate draw here and a ton of intrigue, and that’s WITHOUT Page in the picture right now. Which is insane. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Childs Posted September 6, 2021 Report Share Posted September 6, 2021 They basically had to hit a home run to meet expectations, and they hit a home run. Tip of the cap. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As it is tho, it feels like they are going to give him some focus - don't see him, a big name, signing just to play second fiddle to Kenny. Unless it's not for the belt, Hangman could get lost in the shuffle. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Although to be fair, Cole's best use would be as Britt's minion, Victoria-Stevie Richards style Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

C.S. Posted September 6, 2021 Report Share Posted September 6, 2021 Adam Cole Bay Bay showing up a week after being in NXT really felt like one of those big Monday Night War moments. Hell, even Danielson debuting after main eventing WrestleMania. WTF is going on with WWE for them to be making such costly, sloppy mistakes like this?

Knowing the importance and doing it right basically across the board. Yes, the crowd gives me such "ECW at it's most fervent" feels and not just because of the AC DUB chants. They seem invested in their guys and everyone just feels something big is gonna happen. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boss Rock Posted September 6, 2021 Report Share Posted September 6, 2021 I was concerned that expectations were so high for this show that it would fail, but nope. It exceeded even my highest expectations. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sek69 Posted September 6, 2021 Report Share Posted September 6, 2021 This was such an amazing show, and not just for the matches. This came off as them pushing in their chips and dropping the mic on WWE. Them saying they not only got the guy you knew was coming but they snatched your chain and debuted the guy who main evented for you just like a week ago.

sek69 Posted September 6, 2021 Report Share Posted September 6, 2021 I've also legit been seeing several people on my Twitter TL who just either outed themselves as wrestling fans or were just discovering it being all "YO THIS AEW SHIT IS AMAZING".

MoS Posted September 6, 2021 Report Share Posted September 6, 2021 Apparently Bryan's (it will be so weird to refer to him as Danielson again, the last time I did so, I was literally a teenager) post-show speech is amazing Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Coffey Posted September 6, 2021 Report Share Posted September 6, 2021 I don't know if I'm just riding the high of the post-PPV brain or if it's hyperbole, but am I nuts if I think that may have been a top 5 PPV all-time? We got huge surprises, big debuts, big stars, a hot crazy crowd and good wrestling. Not everything was fantastic, like the Wight/QT match, but damn did that show deliver. Definitely the best AEW PPV to date. Felt like an all-time show, up there with other shows that I loved, like Wrestlemania 17. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
