Just now, The Thread Killer said:

Apparently in AEW, if the referee ejects you from ringside, it’s more of a “time out.” You have to go backstage and think about what you did wrong, and then you can come back and the ref lets you stay, as long as you’re sorry. 

Yeah that was lame as hell

[Jmare007]

After the SSP from Ospreay this became fucking great. Not a fan of those wild kickouts but this is the kind of match were I can be more forgiving. Plus, the crowd losing their shit and believing Kenny could comeback made them work.

While the false finishes were a little ridiculous, it did negate the Don Callis interference and how a screwdriver shot would end this match.    That Tiger Driver 91 was just disgusting.

How weird is wrestling that a match involving Sting, Chris Jericho, Minoru Suzuki, and Naito is the fucking come down match 

[MLB]

This is an odd trios match.

[hammerva]

Yeah I would much rather see Suzuki vs Sting than Sting vs Jericho. 

Jesus Sting almost got his neck broke on that awful looking cutter

[Ricky Jackson]

Blows my mind Sting is still doing this

Jericho too I guess. First saw him live in Jan 92

[Timbo Slice]

I totally bit on the rope break. There was some bullshit down the stretch that didn’t need to be there with some of the near falls, Callis was as not even remotely necessary, and I guess they don’t do a rubber match at Wembley, which is why they emptied the clip tonight. But it WAS a great match, even with some unforced errors. 

[Timbo Slice]

Sting took a goddamn 630 through a table in 2023. What in the world. 

[KawadaSmile]

They didn't need to do a Tiger Driver '91, but good fucking match regardless

[Timbo Slice]

What the bell was that match, Jericho needing to get his heat back like that was the absolute worst. 
 

I guess the crowd is down enough for the main event, though. 

[Timbo Slice]

THEY DID IT

[KawadaSmile]

Final motherfucking Countdown

[Dav'oh]

We're heading for Venus!

[Timbo Slice]

Final Countdown AND Okada Bucks, good lord almighty. 

[hammerva]

The match hasn't even started and this is already my favorite match on the entrance alone 

[MLB]

Danielson preventing hair grip advantage with the braids, ok.

[MLB]

Okada breaking out the Hoganesque big boot.

[MLB]

Yikes, Danielson feigning convulsions.

[Dav'oh]

That epileptic seizure was poorly judged.

[Jmare007]

Whaaaaaaaat?!

 

 

[Timbo Slice]

The crowd I think expected something along the lines of Omega/Ospreay (which lol) but that match was about as good as you could expect there. 

[Dav'oh]

I feel like that match didn't rise to a climax or crescendo.

[Jmare007]

Does Dragon challenge Sanada at Wembley? Him getting the belt and then losing it at WK is the only thing that makes sense to me as to why Gedo agreed to this, lol.

 

 

[hammerva]

The finish was perfectly valid given the punishment he was taking on that arm.  It was just very sudden
