This crowd is HOT for the main event, holy hell

Oh house of black vs CMFTR is gonna slap

TellumSiege@kbin.social · 4 pts · 3y (3 replies)

I'm not ready for hob to lose yet.

Montagge@kbin.social · 3 pts · 3y

I will only accept Death Triangle

uSirPatrick@lemmy.world · 3 pts · 3y (1 reply)

I don't think they will... I doubt they win clean but I bet they still win

TellumSiege@kbin.social · 1 pts · 3y

I hope you're right. But either way it's gonna be a banger lol

uSirPatrick@lemmy.world · 6 pts · 3y (1 reply)

Not that it's a make or break thing, but if FTR vs bucks is happening that feels a step closer to punk and the elite communicating which would be so good for the company

TellumSiege@kbin.social · 3 pts · 3y

Agreed. Honestly, when Collision started and Punk ripped on the Bucks (called their fans whiners, etc.) I figured things were probably smoothed over. I can't imagine a world where TK lets Punk go out there and say that if they aren't okay.

Did Christian kidnap that child?

Montagge@kbin.social · 3 pts · 3y

I don't know but I'd like to think so!

uSirPatrick@lemmy.world · 5 pts · 3y

This trios stipulation is a direct assault on me and I don't appreciate it

Montagge@kbin.social · 5 pts · 3y (1 reply)

Shit just got real, JR is here!

TellumSiege@kbin.social · 3 pts · 3y

He catches a lot of flak but I love the guy. Hearing his voice is basically what got me to watch AEW in the first place.

uSirPatrick@lemmy.world · 4 pts · 3y (1 reply)

House of black is so much cooler than me

Montagge@kbin.social · 5 pts · 3y

House of Black is the greatest thing ever in anything that has ever existed. A perfect intersection between wrestling and mental.

Travon333@lemmy.world · 4 pts · 3y (1 reply)

Christian is such a scumbag man!

TellumSiege@kbin.social · 2 pts · 3y

I thought that was the same kid Jack Perry used as a shield 😂

Montagge@kbin.social · 4 pts · 3y

Buddy just yeeting Action to wherever he may land lol

Travon333@lemmy.world · 4 pts · 3y (1 reply)

The Collision stage makes everything feel so big time.

TellumSiege@kbin.social · 3 pts · 3y

Definitely. The glossy ramp is so much better than Dynamite's 'rubbery' ramp.

TellumSiege@kbin.social · 4 pts · 3y

So far it's been another great show. AEW's been on a tear lately. Perfect timing too. This next month is going to be huge for them.

Montagge@kbin.social · 3 pts · 3y (1 reply)

I have really enjoyed Big Bill and Cage!

TellumSiege@kbin.social · 3 pts · 3y

Pretty awesome how the blind eliminator tournament produced Big Bill/Cage and MJF/Cole. Guessing this won't be the last time they do it lol

TellumSiege@kbin.social · 3 pts · 3y

Big Bill is like two and a half Aubrey's

Travon333@lemmy.world · 3 pts · 3y (5 replies)

😂😂Tough night at the office for Schiavone. He deserves it for a being a bad luck charm

Montagge@kbin.social · 3 pts · 3y (4 replies)

Tony didn't do nothing to nobody!

Travon333@lemmy.world · 3 pts · 3y (3 replies)

Lol idk man, notable sweetheart Adam Cole HATES Schiavone.

Montagge@kbin.social · 4 pts · 3y (1 reply)

Yeah, but he hangs out with that snake in the grass MJF!

Travon333@lemmy.world · 3 pts · 3y

Come on man, he's a scumbag and he's working on it!

TellumSiege@kbin.social · 3 pts · 3y

As he should. Tony was clearly trying to steal his girlfriend ;p

TellumSiege@kbin.social · 3 pts · 3y (1 reply)

Hope Mercedes got her caulking done.

Montagge@kbin.social · 3 pts · 3y

I'm more worried about the gutters myself

Travon333@lemmy.world · 3 pts · 3y (1 reply)

The House move like differently specialized Assassins. Pretty much always complementing each other.

TellumSiege@kbin.social · 3 pts · 3y

Well put. I'm not ready for them to lose the belts yet.

And as I'm typing this they announced the trios match next week. Damn 😬

Montagge@kbin.social · 3 pts · 3y (1 reply)

Lol that god damn Jay White cut out

TellumSiege@kbin.social · 2 pts · 3y

RIP Cardboard Switchblade

Montagge@kbin.social · 3 pts · 3y

Oh no, my boy Big Shotty is getting sacrificed to House of Black

Montagge@kbin.social · 3 pts · 3y (1 reply)

Yay, Serpentico!

uSirPatrick@lemmy.world · 2 pts · 3y

RIP

Travon333@lemmy.world · 3 pts · 3y (2 replies)

Good match! FTR wins by the skin of the teeth against 2 monsters. Makes them all look great.

TellumSiege@kbin.social · 2 pts · 3y (1 reply)

Seemed like Bill/Cage got most of the offense too. It'll be interesting to see where they go from here though...maybe ROH belts? I can't see them going back to singles full-time with how well their working together.

Travon333@lemmy.world · 3 pts · 3y

Yeah no idea. They've for sure kept Big Bill separate from the Mogul Embassy and even teased some Cage dissention in the Royal Rampage. They planted seeds for a few different ways.

TellumSiege@kbin.social · 3 pts · 3y

Looks like Big Bill turned his 'New Yorker' dial up to eleven.

Travon333@lemmy.world · 3 pts · 3y

Guns Up Schiavone!

ImADifferentBird@midwest.social · 3 pts · 3y (1 reply)

Excellent show, as usual. AEW rarely misses.

Still baffled by CM Punk's whole deal.

hellothere@sh.itjust.works · 1 pts · 3y

Glad I'm not the only one, none of it makes sense.

Travon333@lemmy.world · 3 pts · 3y

My god! That chokeslam to Gorilla Press was nasty!

uSirPatrick@lemmy.world · 3 pts · 3y (1 reply)

Aew can't seem to figure out what they want to do with Lee Johnson

TellumSiege@kbin.social · 3 pts · 3y

Yeah, he needs an ROH run. Or an indie run. Something to build some momentum.

uSirPatrick@lemmy.world · 3 pts · 3y (2 replies)

Shout out to the "cm punk fears blue Kane" sign lol

Montagge@kbin.social · 3 pts · 3y

I had to look that up. I love wrestling.

TellumSiege@kbin.social · 3 pts · 3y

I saw that too lol. Great sign.

Travon333@lemmy.world · 3 pts · 3y

Lol Andretti has been getting his ass kicked consistently on Saturdays

Montagge@kbin.social · 3 pts · 3y

Oh mah gerd! FTR vs YB at All In!

TellumSiege@kbin.social · 3 pts · 3y (2 replies)

“Real World Championship” is such a weird name. Sounds like something meant for MTV reality stars…which I guess CM Punk is, technically.

CM Punk vs. Johnny Bananas

Montagge@kbin.social · 2 pts · 3y (1 reply)

I don't much care for it

TellumSiege@kbin.social · 1 pts · 3y

Yeah, I prefer 'AXW.' At least until it's unified, or something.

Montagge@kbin.social · 3 pts · 3y

Kris Statlander and Mercedes Martinez are beating the piss out of each other, jebus!

Montagge@kbin.social · 2 pts · 3y (1 reply)

Sad Acclaimed just hits different than other sad things

TellumSiege@kbin.social · 2 pts · 3y

Absolutely. And his retirement came out of nowhere. That just blurs the lines even more lol

TellumSiege@kbin.social · 2 pts · 3y (2 replies)

Metalik looks like the Luchador American Nightmare

Montagge@kbin.social · 2 pts · 3y (1 reply)

Luchador
In my soul
This guy looks like
Cody Rhodes

TellumSiege@kbin.social · 1 pts · 3y

lmao Out-fucking-standing. Well done. 😂

uSirPatrick@lemmy.world · 2 pts · 3y

I'm a JR detractor... Right now he sounds like he's turned back 25 years.

Travon333@lemmy.world · 2 pts · 3y

Played out stipulation but Julia has taken hella crazy bumps for the House.

Travon333@lemmy.world · 2 pts · 3y

Buh bye Schiavone read the god damn room

TellumSiege@kbin.social · 2 pts · 3y

Joe's got one of the best voices in wrestling. So are we getting Joe vs. Punk at All-In then?

TellumSiege@kbin.social · 2 pts · 3y

I'm really liking the Gunns on commentary.

Montagge@kbin.social · 1 pts · 3y

Ricky Steamboat moving pretty good for a wrestler at his age! Good to see!

Travon333@lemmy.world · 1 pts · 3y

The Bang Bang Gang has arrived!

Montagge@kbin.social · 0 pts · 3y (3 replies)

So is CM Punk doing the Cody Rhodes maybe I'm going heel maybe I'm not it will change every week thing?

TellumSiege@kbin.social · 2 pts · 3y

Looks like it. I thought he'd be heel for sure, TBH. But he's been a weird tweener since coming back.

Thedogspaw@midwest.social · 2 pts · 3y (1 reply)

Cody verse is back baby

ImADifferentBird@midwest.social · 2 pts · 3y
