AEW TV (8/16 - 8/19)

[The Thread Killer]

So if I am seeing this correctly, there is going to be one singles match at All In?

[The Thread Killer]

Oh yeah I forgot about about Joe vs. Punk and now apparently we’re getting Jericho vs. Osprey.

[Migs]

Pretty sure this is Ospreay's hazing. Gotta carry Jericho in a stadium to get his run.

[Timbo Slice]

This Texas Chainsaw match is my working MOTY

[Blehschmidt]

That may be the stupidest thing I've seen in my 38 years of watching professional wrestling and that covers a lot of ground.

[KawadaSmile]

Leatherface on appearing was not the worst part of that whole segment, if we are honest.

Now, if we are using Monster Wrestlers again, just turn Wardlow into El Hijo del Jason the Terrible, please!

[sek69]

Starting Dynamite now, and Penta proving the suit+lucha mask combo is undefeated. 

[sek69]

Doing a skit where Tony yells at MJF and Cole for their wacky hijinx makes me think he lurks on PWO and saw us say he was too nice to be a mean boss

Dying at Satnam looking like the world's largest Hillbilly Jim in those bib overalls

[sek69]

Seems like they are planting some seeds for All Out as well this week. I'm guessing H.O.B. vs the Acclaimed and (I'm assuming) Billy making his big return. Bucks vs Jay and Juice perhaps as well?

i wish i could see Satnam wrestle more. Hes so damn big!

Really enjoyed Dynamite this week. Wish they cut the MJF/Cole pre-tape or shortened the 2 segments. I Would have liked more time on the TEXAS CAHINSAW DEATHMATCH. Having Sting go full Joker mode ahead of the UK show is pretty smart.

[MoS]

As someone who is really enjoying the MJF/Cole pairing, I hope there is no turn (by either guy) at either All In or All Out, and not until at least Full Gear. Preferably not until well into 2024. TK has attention issues as a booker, but he doesn't usually jump the gun - in fact his problem is the opposite, he doesn't act until well after the right time has passed - so I am hopeful about this. 

Also, between babyface MJF being a massive hit and heel Starks cutting amazing promos weekly and getting more over and becoming a bigger star with each week, a babyface MJF v. heel Starks feud and match would bang hard. I really enjoyed their mini-feud even though it lasted like 2 weeks, and I see serious potential in that pairing.

One other aspect there - a heel Ricky who gets cheered allows a Max babyface turn to not be so sudden. He can be the "babyface" in the feud without having to get a 100% pure reaction. Also, Cole-Starks is a match that hasn't happened before (at least not on a big stage) and seems like it would work.

[strobogo]

Hopefully All Out gets Golden Lovers vs Ospreay/Takeshita and not Jericho somehow finding his way into all that.

agreed. this is the most I've enjoyed MJF.  Thought both MJF & Cole were excellent in laying out their promos as far as why they feel they have to win without crossing any heel turn lies, so I'm hoping they play it face vs face all the way through and beyond. The story has it's heel in Roderick joining up with the Kingdom against them. 

[sek69]

Babyface MJF feels like such a great payoff in that they've established pretty much since day one Max is an asshole as a defense mechanism from feeling alone and bullied as a kid. Him finding his first true friend in life and learning to enjoy life and be happy has been kind of heartwarming to see. LIke a real life version of the Grinch's heart growing three sizes that day. 

I just hope they don't go the obvious route of them losing the Aussie Open match due to a wacky understanding to create TENSION for the main event. As @Alucard mentioned, both guys did a great job stating their case for why they MUST win without being heelish at all. 

[strobogo]

I truly hope Roddy just wears the neckbrace forever. Even wrestling. 

 

Have there been any rumors for who the mystery partners for BCC might be? I would assume Shota is a safe bet, but the other spot? Chris Hero seems like a guy who would be a good fit considering his history with both Claudio and Eddie, and also was one of Regal's last matches.

[Mr Wrestling 2000]

Roddy has been very funny in the MJF Cole segments. I haven't heard any rumors but Hero works as a producer so thats all i want

[The Thread Killer]

So, the story just broke that Cash Wheeler was arrested for an incident that took place on July 28 in Florida. Aggravated Assault with a Firearm. His lawyer entered a Not Guilty plea on his behalf on August 3 and he has his first court appearance this afternoon.

WTF? 

[KawadaSmile]

Regardless of having a title belt with him, he keeps the strap.

[Dav'oh]

Just off the top of my head, under Florida Statute 784.021, the crime of aggravated assault is defined as an intentional and unlawful threat against another person with a deadly weapon, or while in the commission of a felony, which creates a reasonable fear that violence or harm is imminent.

Oh man, Eddie against Hero with a whole stadium at his disposal? bah gawd.

Apparently it was a “road rage” incident. Which will undoubtedly disappoint the many people on Twitter, who had already decided that it was a domestic abuse situation. Despite the fact there was no evidence whatsoever of that.

[Stiva]

There’s still a week for more things to go tits up ahead of Wembley too.

Undertaker is reading this news and beaming with pride
