Dale Wolfe Posted May 17, 2023 Report Share Posted May 17, 2023 Sean Ross Sapp saying full brand split now there are the two "big" shows. Bit tragic to me to be honest, if that is the case Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bit tragic to me to be honest, if that is the case I hope those plans change. And if they don't , I truly hope TK doesn't create another belt.

C.S. Posted May 17, 2023 Report Share Posted May 17, 2023 Supposedly they're far apart again because Punk wants Ace Steel back. I assume all of this is misdirection to keep his return more of a "surprise." But yeah, Meltzer and Alvarez have completely shit the bed on every aspect of this story. They should - as Punk once told Seth Rollins - stop tweeting. Update: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blehschmidt Posted May 18, 2023 Report Share Posted May 18, 2023 Jesus, that throw Rush gave Jungle Boy to the outside was stupid fucking dangerous. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jmare007 Posted May 18, 2023 Report Share Posted May 18, 2023 I liked how they used that DQ for Starks vs White. I still don't think either one should lose soon but at least they are gonna save that L for the PPV. The pop for Hangmayne was MASSIVE. Don't like Danielson being in Anarchy in the Arena because I know he'll be a dumbass and do something that will risk another concussion but the feud calls for that match to happen so, alas. I really, really hope this feuds goes beyond the PPV. And I'm still waiting for Ibushi down the line! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SirEdger Posted May 18, 2023 Report Share Posted May 18, 2023 Wouldn't even be surprised if Callis turning on Kenny leads to Callis managing Will Ospreay for a match with Kenny at Forbidden Door Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sek69 Posted May 18, 2023 Report Share Posted May 18, 2023 So there seems to be rumblings that point to the AEW video game (finally) getting released in June. Apparently you can pre-load it on Xbox systems which is something that only happens near launch, and it would fit in with TK wanting June to be a massive month with Collision debuting. It also looks like some if all of the delay came from needing to retool some things to keep a T rating, perhaps there was a Jon Moxley mode where the goal was to bleed on as many things as possible Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sek69 Posted May 18, 2023 Report Share Posted May 18, 2023 That was quite the surreal moment hearing the announcers react in real time to Superstar's passing as Jericho was suplexing Roddy Strong through a table. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Matt D Posted May 18, 2023 Report Share Posted May 18, 2023 I don't push SC stuff often around here, but I covered a few HH matches from House Rules over the weekend (where Darby and OC tried out some of their spots that htey used last night) here: http://segundacaida.blogspot.com/2023/05/aew-five-fingers-of-death-and-friends_0255000681.html And a couple of things from last week including the great Athena vs Skye Blue match that not enough people saw here: http://segundacaida.blogspot.com/2023/05/aew-five-fingers-of-death-and-friends_098280981.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
strobogo Posted May 18, 2023 Report Share Posted May 18, 2023 Kenny going full Capcom Captain America was lmao This face turn thing for Sammy sucks. Each week shows more and more that Sammy and Jungle Boy are not ready for that spot and the title match should be Darby vs MJF. OC is in the midst of one of the finest mid card title runs of all time in any company and I hope it doesn't end in a battle royale That whole finishing sequence for Ricky/White-O was smooth as hell Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
subatomic_elbow Posted May 18, 2023 Report Share Posted May 18, 2023 When the BCC appeared behind the Young Bucks in the parking lot, I gasped. It felt dangerous. Hangman's return was such a great story beat. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MoS Posted May 19, 2023 Author Report Share Posted May 19, 2023 I don't know how you all felt, but the show-closing brawl with Hangman coming back, making BCC retreat and challenging them to Anarchy in the Arena might just be the greatest angle/brawl AEW has ever done. It felt like a hot 1986 JCP angle. It literally might just be the greatest 15 minutes of television AEW has ever produced. That was incredible to watch I got goosebumps (yeah yeah, call me a mark).

KawadaSmile Posted May 19, 2023 Report Share Posted May 19, 2023 They managed to get Hangman hot again. It's a damn great feat, to be honest, given how cold he got during his title reign. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's a damn great feat, to be honest, given how cold he got during his title reign. He was hot as hell with the Moxley feud at the beginning of the year, as well. And tbh I've never felt that he got cold during his title reign, people were still loudly behind him, it's just that at the same time there was another much better storyline going on that overshadowed everything that happened in the company at the moment.

MLB Posted May 20, 2023 Report Share Posted May 20, 2023 I don't want to rain on the Hangman parade, it got a nice reaction. I think he's really good. A nitpick, but I thought the eye patch looked cringe. I've always seen Page as being shoehorned into the Elite. Kenny and the Bucks have history in Japan together with a natural connection. If Page is portraying a cowboy gimmick, for me it's like in '97 putting Jeff Jarrett in DX or something. Page is 2nd banana to Omega anyway, he should be leading his own faction. I remember they briefly tried something with Page and FTR, and then quickly dropped it (given what happened with Punk later on there likely was chemistry issues back then). I liked him better as a loner that had a weird bond with the Dark Order. Or I could see him with a team like Ross and Marshall Von Erich who've recently had their deals expire with MLW.

The Thread Killer Posted May 20, 2023 Report Share Posted May 20, 2023 Rumor has it the Von Erich boys are a chip off the old block…meaning they work stiff as hell and frequently refuse to lose. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MLB Posted May 21, 2023 Report Share Posted May 21, 2023 Von Erichs vs the Gunns could be a good feud. Maybe a country stable with Page, Von Erichs and Mark Briscoe. If were Mickie James were younger she'd be perfect for that group. With The Iron Claw starring Zac Efron and produced by A24 coming out this year, it's a good idea to at least bring them in to capitalize on the movie.
