AEW TV - 9/7-9/9 - Who Throws A Chair, Honestly

[Embrodak]

I think Page kinda got punished for the thing he actually did wrong by being relegated to purgatory until a few weeks before the Trios tournament.

[Blehschmidt]

A case of sarcasm not being detectable on the internet. Even if he'd lost in 3 seconds, I don't feel that losing a staged wrestling match is "punishment" for anything.

[Zoo Enthusiast]

He didn’t do anything worthy of being punished for. He cut a wrestling promo.

[C.S.]

Is it just me or does this match suck compared to their others?

No spark whatsoever.

If it's just my mood, and it may be, please tell me.

My bad bubba.

But still, it seems like what Embrodak mentioned seems more like it - either being in the doghouse or creative having fuck all for him.

Perhaps.  I was referring to social media/network apps, where even if you weren’t planning on hitting up a news site (wrestling or otherwise) chances are friends/accounts you follow would have at least shared or been all “WOW.  DID [insert whatever here, again not just pro wrestling news] JUST HAPPEN!?!?” which would pique interest in looking up what is being discussed.

Oh yeah, that has definitely happened.

But still... Someone could easily avoid Facebook or Twitter for 2-3 days and go into Dynamite confused that two titles have suddenly been vacated without explanation. It feels like a sloppy cop-out.

The suspensions all seem to be from the fight, which to my knowledge no one is saying Page was part of. 

[KawadaSmile]

Good match. The Buckshot still sucks ass!

[Jmare007]

GOAT gonna GOAT

[Blehschmidt]

Was J.R. suspended? Because it's been lovely not having him on commentary.

[Jimmy Redman]

I'd love for this to be leading to Bryan getting his win back over Jericho next week, and then doing Bryan/Mox II for the title.

I mean they can't possibly do another Jericho/Mox match.

[sek69]

Page's only crime was being a little too vocal he wasn't interested in hearing career advice from a bitter asshole.

J.R. threw BBQ sauce all over the Bucks, which is why Ace Steele bit one of them.

Of course, every wrestling site has a million articles, but that requires going to them - which only a fraction of the audience is going to do. 

Sports Illustrated covered it.

BIG BOOT FROM BIG DUB

[KawadaSmile]

The way that segment was rushed indicates the AEW staff member was shooting!!!

 

DAX VS CLAUDIO LET'S FUCKING GO

[Jmare007]

Oh shit Claudio vs Dax!

No, a niche article on the back page of their website covered it.

The magazine - the only part of SI that's actually relevant - did not and would not touch it. 

[C.S.]

What in the hell is this shit?

There's barely ten minutes left for Wheeler vs. Garcia.

Never mind - it's part of Garcia's entrance. Won't add that much needed flavor to his character or personality though.

A few weeks off before popping up in a championship tournament where he makes the finals and is involved in a storyline with the Bucks and Dark Order where he is a prized partner recruit, then being put in another championship tournament where he goes toe to toe for the 3rd time with one of the best wrestlers in the world. Wrestlers should be lining up for that ‘punishment’. 

[KawadaSmile]

Wheeler Yuta is good but he still has to be better than his theme.

It didn't have the huge heat their previous matchups had because Hangman is way colder, Dragon hasn't been heeling it up AND a portion of the crowd was booing Page.

Having said that, the match was a great slow burner. Only thing is that the flying knee is nothing more than a set up move at this point and it's gonna take some time to get used it no longer being a killing finisher.

[Coffey]

I don’t understand… they spent all of the PPV using the Stokely group of ninjas to get MJF the Joker chip but he’s not with the group now?

It’s on the front page under their headlines. https://www.si.com
