AEW TV - 12/7 & 12/9 - Stuff and Things

[Timbo Slice]

The Ol’ switcheroo.

I am really hoping that Tony Khan doesn’t make us wait any longer than tonight to find out who FTR are defending against on Saturday. I am also hoping The Briscoes will be getting a match with somebody as well. I am also a little bit afraid that it won’t be a straight up Tag Title match. I am hoping we don’t end up seeing a 4 way or whatever. I would just like to see the remainder of the ROH show finalized tonight, considering the damn show is in less than 72 hours.

In news that should make everyone happy, TK pretty much implied there was going to be an announcement about ROH's TV future after the PPV and that ROH involvement on AEW TV would be way down. That seems to indicate they are going to be getting their own show and their own "ROH Universe" soon.

That Battle Royal spot where Jungle Boy dropkicked Brian Cage in the back, who then very slowly kind of threw himself over the top rope?  That was fucking terrible. Cringeworthy.

Not to sound like Cornette or Mantell, but they should fire Cage when he walks through the curtain. That was one of the phoniest, stupidest looking things I've seen in a long time.

 

and with AEW having like 200 people on the roster, are you telling me we couldn't find more than 13 people to have this Battle Royale with?

[Blehschmidt]

Jesus Christ, I hope Test....err Morrisey apologizes to Jungle Boy for that spot. 

This show is off to a spectacular start.

Fun Battle Royal and Starks is awesome, but this stupid shit of the heel running his mouth and insulting the face while the face patiently listens and waits his turn to speak is some WWE nonsense

It was, but holy shit was Ricky on fire when he got his turn.

Even in WWE they've mostly had the decency to have the heel throw a softball here and there, lately.

[KawadaSmile]

Ricky is the motherfucking man. Give him the belt. He's the one, guys.

[MoS]

Having said that, Starks sort of completely owned MJF right here

[MoS]

So glad they finally gave Starks an open mic. He is a star, and he really showed up MJF tbh. MJF's shtick felt exposed in comparison to Starks, who came across as authentic and a genuine superstar in the making

[KawadaSmile]

When people hype up MJF as this can't-miss talent who's charismatic as fuck and money on the mic, they are actually describing Ricky. MJF might be good, Starks is something else.

[The Thread Killer]

Man Starks was on fire there, damn. He knocked that out of the park. You never get to hear great passionate sounding promos like that in WWE. The format might be similar. but AEW has it all over WWE when it comes to segments like that.

[MoS]

Also, I just saw an ad on my TV that said Dark and Elevation will now air in India, so while TK has not been booking well lately, he has clearly been making deals to make more money

[MoS]

Darby is a crazy man

[MoS]

An absolutely crazy, amazing match. Really wish they had built it a bit more, and not just with a quick 2-min video clip

[KawadaSmile]

Let's fucking go. This is the motherfucking man. Call an audible, TK. 

[Dav'oh]

Dear Darby,

There is no such thing as a prosthetic spine. You get one (1) spine and it has to last you your whole life.

Sincerely etc

[Jmare007]

That Starks promo was such an statement. Tony better not fuck up his booking again after the title match. That dude has to be a weekly feature cutting promos or wrestling and he better get some compelling feuds and opponents for the foreseeable future. Dude is fucking money.

[MoS]

This show has ruled so far

[Flyin' Brian]

Ok, it showed up in my Facebook feed that Ricky Starks won the Dynamite Diamond Ring battle Royal? Can someone please explain to me why he was in it when he already won the title eliminator tournament and had an AEW title shot? Does he get two title shots now?

I’m absolutely open to Starks as the Stone Cold to MJF’s Rock, or the Dusty to his Flair, or whatever. It’s a shame Tony sucks at booking, Starks has so much potential!

Exactly. I don’t think TK should take the World Title off MJF yet, it’s way too soon for that. But I really hope Ricky’s push doesn’t evaporate after next week, although I suspect it will. I am really starting to doubt if TK has the ability or attention span required to juggle multiple storylines at once.

Unless they involve Daniel Garcia and/or Wheeler Yuta…in which case his attention to detail is unmatched.
