AEW TV - 8/23 - 8/26 - Visa Issues Kept This From Being Made On Time

[Timbo Slice]

My apologies to those wanting a 6-on-6 match. 

[sek69]

I'm really enjoying MJF's "babyface, but still kind of an asshole" deal. 

[Timbo Slice]

So I’m upset for Fenix and Fox, if visa deals are really why they have to be left off the show. I also don’t know how you book those programs knowing those issues could arise. Like Tony learned nothing from COVID times. 

[sek69]

Santana and Ortiz are back, sweet. I guess they settled their personal beef too, or at least enough to work together again. 

[sek69]

Excalibur solemnly hyping the Draft Kings deal while they were scraping Fenix off the mat was unintentional hilarity. 

[sek69]

Say what you will about Jericho (and he deserves most of it), but that was a fucking money promo. 

[Timbo Slice]

Yeah, he and Billy brought it. 

[sek69]

Dynamite was very much a "we don't want to have anyone get injured days before the biggest show of all time" vibe, but they sure sold the shit out of All In. 

[KawadaSmile]

Splitting Swerve and AR Fox is a not a good choice.

Christian's hatred of fathers is incredible

[DMJ]

Only halfway through, but if they don't give Ospreay the win, Tony is crazy. 

As someone who really only watches WWE (PLEs) and AEW TV shows, I'm that 40 year old fan that basically watches the most easily accessible stuff via a Peacock subscription and Hulu Live. I've seen a handful of Will Ospreay matches and probably none of the ones that I should've or would be considered top tier. I don't think I've heard him cut a real promo that wasn't hyping a Forbidden Door show.

 

But that promo, that 60 seconds, was awesome. Passionate and personal and felt real. I want to see this guy every week now. I knew he was a good wrestler, but now, I'm invested in the character too.

[strobogo]

All the BRUV stuff seemed a little forced, I don't recall him doing that for NJ, but he also is a face there.

when he came out i remarked to my friends he smelt a fatherless child and he pretty much said that.

Fox lost that tag match for the Mogals, Swerve was right to summon Cage to drillclaw him

[MLB]

Speaking of fathers, I brought this up before about MJF but I'll never understand why Ospreay had to mention his four year-old stepson that he's putting through school in the middle of a pretty good heel promo. The father of child isn't paying any kind of support and Ospreay adopted the kid? I doubt that. I'm sick of heels sharing these details like that. Ospreay isn't even married, why is he paying for the kid? I don't wanna think about this stuff that has nothing to do with the program and doesn't seem appropriate. We're supposed to boo Ospreay.

[strobogo]

What about Stan Hansen talking about his fat wife and brood of kids he had to feed? There's absolutely nothing wrong with a heel mentioning he has an actual life away from wrestling that is important.

That's great.  Love those guys.

How is it important? Ospreay didn't say, "I gotta feed my fat girlfriend and her bastard kid!" Tully Blanchard's feud with Magnum TA didn't have Tully talking about his aunt going through chemotherapy or putting his dog down, you know what I'm saying? I don't remember the Undertaker cutting a promo saying, "...I was a shy kid".

Looks like Jungle Boy didn't get banished from Collision 

[Timbo Slice]

This is some really good pro wrestling bullshit. 

[MoS]

lol that was an amazing vid

[MoS]

HOOK should do pullups every week on TV 

[MoS]

How many TV/PPVmatches has Cassidy had in the last 6 months? He must be beat up 

[MLB]

Cassidy has the most matches in the company for 2023 at 43 total. Skye Blue is second with 35 and Darby's got 33.

[MoS]

All that bullshit led to an incredible Eddie Kingston promo so worth it

That still only amounts to less than two matches a week, a lot of them being tag team or multi man matches. That's not that bad, I would assume.
