WingedEagle Posted May 25 Report Share Posted May 25 Both Owen finals and AitA look great, while almost everything else (okay, other than the tag titles) has potential to get there or at least over-deliver. And its a 3 day weekend which means I won't be getting antsy when the main event starts around sunrise. Let's go! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sek69 Posted May 26 Report Share Posted May 26 The tag title match seems like it's going to be some kind of angle advancement Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sek69 Posted May 26 Report Share Posted May 26 Is it me or has Jamie Hayer seems to have lost whatever it was that had her so over before the injury? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MoS Posted May 26 Report Share Posted May 26 Tremendous match between Mercedes and Hayter. The crowd being so hot helped. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its not as simple as the gear but everything about her presentation other than the surprise return and ensuing pop have been trash. Its felt very start & stop without much focus until the Owen. Hopefully they can heat her up again as tonight showed she can still go at a high level. A heel turn might do her some good and let her work against Toni, Willow (maybe Stat?). But, also, that 70s Show gear. Sheesh. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WingedEagle Posted May 26 Author Report Share Posted May 26 Am I delirious from a long day in the car or is this tag blowing away even unreasonable expectations? FTR are so much better as Arn/Tully heels and the babyface performances have been great here as well. Really digging this. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MoS Posted May 26 Report Share Posted May 26 I thought it as a good match but went too long and meandered in the middle Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WingedEagle Posted May 26 Author Report Share Posted May 26 Mark Briscoe bled for all of our sins past, present and future tonight. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WingedEagle Posted May 26 Author Report Share Posted May 26 I know its a long weekend but I thought I was kidding about the Ospreay/Page starting at sunrise. Can we get there already? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MoS Posted May 26 Report Share Posted May 26 That was tons of fun, tremendous work. Best AITA since the first one, by far Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MoS Posted May 26 Report Share Posted May 26 The matches have been good to great to amazing, though. AEW always does long PPVs, but I genuinely believe this is one of the best PPV shows they have done ever Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Timbo Slice Posted May 26 Report Share Posted May 26 Okay, that was a choice; I’m not even the biggest Ospreay guy but that seems like a result too cute by half. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MoS Posted May 26 Report Share Posted May 26 Fantastic main event, and the right guy won imo. Ospreay will have his time, he gains in defeat. Tremendous match, and that table breaking prematurely added to the danger. A classic PPV, one of AEW's best ones. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MoS Posted May 26 Report Share Posted May 26 Not only is Hangman the right guy to win, he should also slaughter Mox in 5 seconds to win the title Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boss Rock Posted May 26 Report Share Posted May 26 Hell of a show. Not just easily the best show of the year thus far, but also one of the best AEW shows ever. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
strobogo Posted May 26 Report Share Posted May 26 I was sports entertained. I think the only thing that was iffy was FTR vs DC/Nigel tag and that seemed mostly because Nigel was either gassed or rocked or both about half way through the match making the back half seem real awkward. Undisputed vs Callis Fam probably could have been cut just to make the show a little shorter, but also there needed to be some kind of buffer match between Anarchy and the main. One of my favorite tropes in modern wrestling is hitting moves of your heated rivals as last gasp hail mary shots. All In gonna be fucking loaded with Toni/Mercedes, Hanger/Mox, presumably Omega/Okada. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

El-P Posted June 9 Report Share Posted June 9 Two weeks behind and I did not even get spoiled. Awesome show, with only two minor quibbles about it (the usual ones, Hurt Syndicate having the worst match on the show, although better than usual thanks to Sammy, and the tag belts being dead in the water; the other one being the show going a bit too long with poor Paragon vs Don Callis family in a death spot). Mercedes vs Hayter, Okada vs Speedball (damn, if you know your Speedball and Okada well, it was obvious how smart this match was), Anarchy in the Arena (I could have used a different music theme though) and Hangman vs Ospreay were just awesome matches. With strong support from excellent Toni Storm vs Mina, Briscoe vs Ricochet and even FTR vs Nigel & Garcia (which did go a bit too long too, with Nigel being not quite up to it in spots but hey, 49 and "retiring" in 2011 will do that to you) and the six-men who deserve a lot of credit for working that hard after *that* match (hell, even the pre-show matches were really good). All In in a stadium probably was not a smart idea (and I'm guessing TK will be more cautious about it now, London was fun, but it was an anomaly), but the show should be awesome anyway with what this is building too.
