The AEW Thread

Wasn't a fan of the finish but the majority of the show was absolutely fantastic! Mjf had to keep the title but putting the roh titles on them makes zero sense as things stand. It looks more like a case of keeping that story going because it got over than anything else to me. 

I'm 100% down there next for all in, which could potentially become aew's mania 🤷

Reports that Jack Perry stepped up in Punk's face just as he was about to walk out to face Samoa Joe and got choked out then escorted from Wembley.

Is Jungle Boy working his ticket to get out of AEW?

Personally hope so. Can't take to him at all. Some bump on the limo he took from hook, who protected him like an absolute pro with it though tbf.

He's absolutely shite. Has all the charisma of a plastic bag. Best thing about him was his entrance music.

Punk clearly has enemies in AEW and whilst I think he's an arsepiece, I do think there's a whole raft of people wanting to make a name for themselves by getting involved in drama with him.

Did Jungle Jack or Hook feature at all on the pre-show? I only watched the main show. 

 

Onto the event and some thoughts: 

*Punk and Joe was beige. Shite finisher. 

*FTR are an actual delight to watch. Proper tag team. 

*Mox with the wooden sticks in his head! 😄
Been thinking it for ages now but it’s definitely time the Blackpool Boredom Club were disbanded. Nothing remotely entertaining from them again as usual. Oh but there was forks, blood and a big swing…. Yaaaaawn.

*Osprey best not get pushed beyond this event. Limmy-face that accent bruv.

*MJF v Adam Cole was excellent.


Couple of music observations: 

*Swerve Strickland has the actual worst theme tune in all of wrestling ever.

*Sting and Darby getting Seek & Destroy would’ve probably cost a pretty penny and would’ve been massive with a U.S crowd but it fell completely flat on the U.K crowd with the exception of a few old school Metallica fans.

*Jericho doing the Freddie was horrific as was continuing to sing (badly) and not letting the crowd finish Judas.

Ah fucking loved that! Some experience being in the stadium.

Disappointed there was no Like A Prayer for Grado (although apparently Madonna doesn't want to license the song).

Card was really fun. Mox is a disgusting man! Massively marked out for Seek and Destroy. Enjoyed the turn in the main event being

that there was no turn and they remain best pals!

Absolutely will be going next year.

Scissored so many folk before, during and after the show! The Acclaimed deserve a Nobel Peace Prize for bringing folk together!

Day after and opinion unchanged, that was brilliant. Will give it a watch back for anything I missed, but even not having the full on view you get on TV, I don't feel like I missed anything. Setup felt like they wanted people not to miss out on anything but the obvious.

We were sat at the entrance bit where Jack Perry and the minivan came in, so got to see family, friends and select wrestlers wander around. Skye Blue was there and is absolutely tiny, and lovely. Powerhouse Hobbs spent pretty much the whole show there. He is fucking massive, but has tiny legs. He is also lovely.

Show itself its hard to fault it. Would it have been good to have something like Ospreay vs Omega (or insert "big" match here)? Aye, of course, but what we get was consistently great and - what surprised me most - it absolutely flew in. We were sitting there since about 430, so 5 and a half hours really, and it felt like a lot less. I've been a lot more conscious of time at Firhill. 

I'm definitely there next year, and any following years they decide to do it. Absolutely brilliant.
