This show gonna fuck.
TommySalami@lemm.ee · 6 pts · 2y
For real. I was a bit suspicious when it was announced, but there really are several huge dream matches. And with Tony's hype, who knows what else will happen? Edge appearance? Mercedes Mone? A complete let down?
Travon333@kbin.social · 5 pts · 2y
AEW doesn't consistently build PPVs but I never feel like a show is going to suck. If anything I feel it's always guaranteed to deliver.
Especially hyped for that 4 way tag just for the chaos
TellumSiege@kbin.social · 6 pts · 2y
Posted this early so people can see the early start time (6:30 ET / 3:30 PT).
hellothere@sh.itjust.works · 6 pts · 2y
So fucking hyped, AEW are on an absolute tear right now.
TommySalami@lemm.ee · 6 pts · 2y
That was a fucking great TBS championship match. I think my favorite women's match in quite a while.
TellumSiege@kbin.social · 5 pts · 2y
Seriously. Those two knocked it outta the park.

"I'm not used to holding championships, I'm used to holding grudges" - Eddie Kingston, probably

Eddie Kingston confirmed not a basketball.

Taz in top form. Love it.

Julia's come so far since her Dark days. She may have lost this one but you gotta think there's a title in her future
ImADifferentBird@midwest.social · 5 pts · 2y
This match fucks.
TellumSiege@kbin.social · 3 pts · 2y
One of my favourite matches in a while. Hopefully there'll be a sequel.
TellumSiege@kbin.social · 5 pts · 2y
Those Shibata forearms looked STIFF
ImADifferentBird@midwest.social · 5 pts · 2y
BREAD CLUB REPRESENT!
FirstPitchStrike@kbin.social · 5 pts · 2y
Someone in the crowd is holding a sign that is just Nishiki's face (from the yakuza video game series) and trying to figure out why is making me crazy.
hellothere@sh.itjust.works · 1 pts · 2y
Thank you! I couldn't work out how or why I knew that face.
TellumSiege@kbin.social · 5 pts · 2y
Is Caster wearing an MJF shirt? lol
hellothere@sh.itjust.works · 1 pts · 2y
He was on dynamite too. No one can deny some Max on Max loving.
TellumSiege@kbin.social · 5 pts · 2y
I have a feeling the House isn't going to win tonight
Travon333@kbin.social · 5 pts · 2y
I'm ready to have my heart broken again

slept all day so i could stay up to watch this live don't let me down, tony :3
TellumSiege@kbin.social · 5 pts · 2y
Great idea. I'm about to try and get a quick nap in before showtime.
TellumSiege@kbin.social · 5 pts · 2y
Nice stalling suplex by Tito
ImADifferentBird@midwest.social · 5 pts · 2y
Love a good stalling suplex.
Travon333@kbin.social · 5 pts · 2y
So FTR are definitely winning tonight.
We get Young Bucks vs FTR 4 at some point
Classic AEW chaotic style of match.
TellumSiege@kbin.social · 5 pts · 2y
Yeah my money was on the Bucks. They gotta avenge their loss at All In.
Travon333@kbin.social · 5 pts · 2y
Why does Statlanders reign feel like what a babyface women's world champ would be
TellumSiege@kbin.social · 4 pts · 2y
Agreed. She fits the Babyface mold really well. And she's great at elevating her opponents too. First Jade now Julia.
hellothere@sh.itjust.works · 1 pts · 2y
Cos she should be the world champ.
Just give me Stat vs Hayter every week. I don't need no 5 star classics, etc.
TellumSiege@kbin.social · 5 pts · 2y
Great, now I can't get the visual of JR scissoring someone out my head...
TellumSiege@kbin.social · 5 pts · 2y
I love you Nigel but it's pronounced Christian not Christy-on lol
FirstPitchStrike@kbin.social · 5 pts · 2y
This match has felt really dangerous. I feel like every other spot has me expecting someone to go out on a stretcher...
TellumSiege@kbin.social · 3 pts · 2y
I was surprised Kota didn't. Looked like he landed on his head pretty hard.
hellothere@sh.itjust.works · 1 pts · 2y
I have it on good authority that that is how he gets out of bed, too.
TellumSiege@kbin.social · 1 pts · 2y
lol the visual of that got a pop outta me 😂
cupcakezealot@lemmy.blahaj.zone · 5 pts · 2y
I legit wanted The Righteous to win ;__;
TellumSiege@kbin.social · 5 pts · 2y
Yeah, I'm a little disappointed they lost clean too.
EDIT: Clean's the wrong word. I guess I was expecting more shenanigans leading to an MJF win
FirstPitchStrike@kbin.social · 6 pts · 2y
Lost clean? Every big moment in the match was MJF cheating including using the ropes for leverage on the pin.
TellumSiege@kbin.social · 4 pts · 2y
Yeah, true. Don't mind me, I'm still a little out of it.
FirstPitchStrike@kbin.social · 4 pts · 2y
Lol, no problem. Been a long weekend for me to so I get it. And I wouldn't worry about the righteous, losing to MJF won't bury them.
TellumSiege@kbin.social · 4 pts · 2y
Man I hope so. I've loved what I've seen from them so far.
And I'm just coming out of 8 days in the hospital. I'm all sorts of groggy lol
Travon333@kbin.social · 5 pts · 2y
Same, in hindsight the match is weird to think about. I guess the ROH Tag Titles are more important to the story
Montagge@kbin.social · 5 pts · 2y
I can't believe there were no shenanigans in that match
ImADifferentBird@midwest.social · 5 pts · 2y
Same here. Would have really established them as a force to go over the champ.
TellumSiege@kbin.social · 5 pts · 2y
Damn Mox is killing it on commentary.
ImADifferentBird@midwest.social · 5 pts · 2y
Yeah, he's pretty much doing play by play and color at the same time.
Travon333@kbin.social · 5 pts · 2y
MJF is a true white meat scumbag babyface brother
ImADifferentBird@midwest.social · 6 pts · 2y
I'm shocked at what a great face MJF is. Just shows how he has everyone, including me, eating out of the palm of his hand.
ImADifferentBird@midwest.social · 5 pts · 2y
Yay! Mox is here!
Glad he's well enough to travel. Can't wait to see him back in the ring!
TellumSiege@kbin.social · 5 pts · 2y
Yeah the fact he can travel is a good sign. Hopefully he isn't out too long.
ImADifferentBird@midwest.social · 5 pts · 2y
"The pay per view hasn't even started yet! We gave you that shit for free!"
Mox killing it again
cupcakezealot@lemmy.blahaj.zone · 5 pts · 2y
3 Things I want:
1, Julia as TBS champion
2, Julia as the new Supreme of the House of Black
3, Bunny, Abadon, and Julia as a trios
hellothere@sh.itjust.works · 1 pts · 2y
Imma let you finish, but about about Dark Willow, Skye Black, and Julia Hart?
TellumSiege@kbin.social · 4 pts · 2y
Hangman sucks chants? This really is Swerve's house
TellumSiege@kbin.social · 4 pts · 2y
The Callis family have some damn good chemistry.
Travon333@kbin.social · 4 pts · 2y
🕺🕺🕺 Nana is extra hype tonight
TellumSiege@kbin.social · 4 pts · 2y
I wish he kept dancing in the background like a mascot in 2K lol
Travon333@kbin.social · 4 pts · 2y
😂😂😂 Looks like you got your wish

Austin: Who's an ass boy now bitch!
Crowd: You!
lmao
Neon_Carnivore@kbin.social · 3 pts · 2y
I laughed so damn hard at that. Great crowd in Seattle last night.
ImADifferentBird@midwest.social · 4 pts · 2y
Holy shit, the Last Supper painting for the Don Callis family...
Travon333@kbin.social · 4 pts · 2y
ZSJ is a monster in the ring
Danielson is a perfect partner for him in the ring. That match was a technical banger
TellumSiege@kbin.social · 4 pts · 2y
An absolute clinic. I wanna watch it again right now lol
Travon333@kbin.social · 4 pts · 2y
Of course the Gunn Boys try using the Outlaw rule
TellumSiege@kbin.social · 4 pts · 2y
Damn, Tony doesn't believe in washroom breaks 😂
hellothere@sh.itjust.works · 1 pts · 2y
At All In you basically had to sprint to the loos when the bell went at the end of a match, and then back again to be in your seat before the video package was done. I feel sorry for anyone who didn't have a pre-PPV-2.
Travon333@kbin.social · 4 pts · 2y
Don with his own last dinner, sounds like a narcissistic ego maniac to me
Travon333@kbin.social · 4 pts · 2y
As slimy as he is, Don is a great manager for his family
Travon333@kbin.social · 4 pts · 2y
A true war of attrition for Hangmans "spot"
TellumSiege@kbin.social · 4 pts · 2y
Definitely. That was an insane match. Holy shit.
Travon333@kbin.social · 3 pts · 2y
The madman actually did it!!
csm10495@sh.itjust.works · 3 pts · 2y
I didn't feel like buying this one. Too many shows for me. Did I miss out?
ImADifferentBird@midwest.social · 4 pts · 2y
Yeah you did. I get it, there have been a lot of PPVs lately, but this was probably the wrong one to skip.
TellumSiege@kbin.social · 4 pts · 2y
IMO it's been pretty solid so far. Hangman/Swerve and Hart/Statlander were great.
EDIT: the Danielson/ZSJ match is must see.
FirstPitchStrike@kbin.social · 4 pts · 2y
Yeah, really solid and no regrets buying it, but don't know if I'd describe any of the matches as a must watch, but would highly recommend watching all of them. Hart/Stat and Page/Swerve particularly. And MJF vs the Righteous was just a great time. I think some of that vibe is most of the stories were built so fast I don't have the investment in them to give them the extra star.
Edit: to be fair to me, I wrote the above comment before the Danielson match and that was my mistake. Anyone who didn't buy this def missed out.
csm10495@sh.itjust.works · 1 pts · 2y
Dang. And after the Edge debut, I feel like I more so missed out lol. I'll be back in PPV land for the next one.
Travon333@kbin.social · 3 pts · 2y
I'm rooting for Father of the Year Christian Cage
Travon333@kbin.social · 3 pts · 2y
😂😂😂 Darby is the perfect Sting successor
Travon333@kbin.social · 3 pts · 2y
Mox in smaller doses and less aloof would be good on commentary but I'm glad he's done for the night
TellumSiege@kbin.social · 3 pts · 2y
LEDGE IS ALL ELITE!
cupcakezealot@lemmy.blahaj.zone · 3 pts · 2y
darby really pressed the left on the controller to change direction on the turnbuckle
ImADifferentBird@midwest.social · 3 pts · 2y
ON THIS DAY
TellumSiege@kbin.social · 3 pts · 2y
Those stair spots looked brutal.
Travon333@kbin.social · 3 pts · 2y
Unfortunate for Mark Davis, he just came back
ImADifferentBird@midwest.social · 3 pts · 2y
Yeah, hopefully he's not hurt bad
Travon333@kbin.social · 3 pts · 2y
WTF Darby
cupcakezealot@lemmy.blahaj.zone · 3 pts · 2y
darby is collecting legend dads like i collect pokemon
TellumSiege@kbin.social · 3 pts · 2y
The end of that match looked like a day care lol There was chaos everywhere.
Neon_Carnivore@kbin.social · 3 pts · 2y
Post show thoughts:
The show was worth the price on the BD vs ZSJ match alone.
MJF absolutely went full scumbag to retain against The Righteous and I'm all for it. #OurScumbag
Kingston vs Shibata did not disappoint.
Julia Hart vs Statlander was awesome. Getting REAL tired of the "one women's match" stuff, though.
I swear Darby is made of fucking rubber. Darby... don't die. Please.
I love hating Carny Piece of Shit, and his family.
Fucking seriously, BD vs ZSJ was a masterclass of a match. Watch it however you can.
Son of the Year, Nick Wayne.
Battle of the Adams! Page vs Cole vs Copeland. Book it, Tony!
TellumSiege@kbin.social · 3 pts · 2y
Anyone catch what ZSJ said there?
hellothere@sh.itjust.works · 1 pts · 2y
Great PPV, really enjoyed it.
Bryan vs ZSJ was incredible, and Kingston/Shibata made me wince more times than I can remember.
Stat/Hart was great, but Stat really needed to lose so she can move up to the Women's World Championship and take it off Saraya. This programme has made Hart, I'm so impressed with her development.
cupcakezealot@lemmy.blahaj.zone · 1 pts · 2y
silly question but why can christian be christian but edge can't be edge elsewhere?
TellumSiege@kbin.social · 1 pts · 2y
I think it's the fact that Christian added 'Cage' to his name. I could be wrong though.
hellothere@sh.itjust.works · 1 pts · 2y
Edge Cage When?!
