AEW TV - 8/22 - 8/25 - Cardiff Has Done Well Lately

Swerve getting pissed at Danielson for trying to take this W from him by tanking every off screen interview in the lead up to this match -saying he was ready to retire no matter what- was perfect. Now he "needs" to cripple Bryan and force him to retirement to prove a point. 

Also, the crowd (and me at home) getting hyped the fuck up after Dragon said he's the best fucking wrestler in the world and has been for the last 20 years was an amazing moment. Like a collective "yes! finally, give us more of this Danielson". It's really frustrating he refused to give us this version in the past 4 years, even when there were at least 3 very clear chances to do so. The month leading up to the first Hangman match was not enough, dammit!

BTW I'm now convinced he's losing :lol:  This sicko is gonna enjoy letting every single fan down (in kayfabe) by taking the most deflating L since Shinya Hashimoto against Naoya Ogawa. He's gonna be so happy he made everyone think he was winning and letting them down so Swerve could be established as the most dangerous motherfucker on AEW.

Also, this Ospreay/Tiger Drive angle was a great idea that they couldn't really execute. I think they hurt it first by Dragon coming back so soon (even though he's fucked up and it will probably cost him his "career" at Wembley) and then by rushing the need for him to hit it again. This should've been at least a year long, very slow paced thing that got accelerated for no reason.

Wiki says that the gauntlet is going to have 21 guys in it?! Does that get all of the first 90 minutes?

EDIT: ah, it can end before the full field has entered. That makes a lot more sense. I hope they’ve got some left field choices in there

Claudio won the annual  CMLL International Grand Prix elimination match, meaning he flew to Mexico after he wrestled in Wales on Wednesday for Dynamite, and is flying back to England for All In on Sunday.

What's the best site to order the show from online? I seem to recall people had issues with certain providers the last time around but can't recall which. If I end up watching live I won't be home and will need to watch on the computer.

I think Youtube is the best option in the U.S from what I've heard.

I never had any issues with the FITE TV app which has now changed its name to Triller TV…but that’s for international viewers, not in the USA I don’t think.  I ordered a ton of AEW and ROH PPV’s from FITE before I quit watching AEW, and I never had one problem. I remember hearing they were buggy when they first launched the app, but I had no complaints at all, aside from the price and that issue was on AEW not FITE.

EDIT: Last year I remember paying full price for All In: London ($50) and then saw that they were still charging the full $50 for All Out the following week. When reporters asked Tony Khan about that, he claimed there was nothing he could do. That was bullshit because the NWA used to host two-night PPV’s on FITE all the time, and they offered a discount if you ordered both nights.

I just checked Triller TV and sure enough this year, if you order both All In and All Out, you can basically save $20. It’s $50 for each individual show or $79.99 if you order both.

Which I’m still not going to do, and it’s still not big enough of a discount, but at least he learned something.
