AEW

Please, wrestling gods, let MJF cut a full-blooded promo. Surely watching Roman literally being given dog shit to work with is worth that.

Is AEW losing momentum irrevocably? Can Jericho, Cody and MJF get a hot program going? Will Shawn Spears remain as un-over as the book which Jericho's guest Donald Trump Jr plugged on Le Champion's podcast? Lots of interesting questions for this week!

Le Champion's Thanksgiving celebration!! You think Cody costs MJF that "beautiful dynamite ring?"

Moxley vs Darby Allin Nick Jackson vs Fenix Private Party vs Santana and Ortiz 12 Man Dynamite Dozen Battle Royal Jericho announcement The two singles matches announced promise to be really strong. I hope they can have another well paced show like last week and develop on the big stories. Jericho also needs a new opponent. Hoping the good show last week keeps hold of viewers because NXT is teasing pretty much any main roster star to show up.

Jericho and Guevara Vs SCU for the tag titles Moxley promo PAC Vs Hangman rubber match That's what's official. Presumably we'll get follow up promos from MJF and Cody after the Full Gear angle. I'd also like to see Dustin trying to get some revenge on Hager.

The go-home show for Full Gear. I hope we see some killer promos.

Card is 1. AEW World Championship Match: Chris Jericho (c) vs. Cody. If Cody loses, he’ll never challenge for the AEW Championship again 2. AEW Women’s Championship Match: Riho (c) vs. Emi Sakura 3. AEW Tag Team Championship Match: SCU (c) vs. Lucha Bros. vs. Private Party 4. The Young Bucks vs. Santana and Ortiz 5. PAC vs. Hangman Adam Page 6. Lights Out Unsanctioned Match: Kenny Omega vs. Jon Moxley 7. Joey Janela vs. Shawn Spears 8. Buy In Match: Dr. Britt Baker DMD vs. Bea Priestley Should be a pretty good show, the big matches should all deliver. I’m surprised that they didn’t find a way to get Darby Allin on the show, figured he might work wi…

From the official AEW preview: This Wednesday night, on the eve of Halloween, All Elite Wrestling “Dynamite” makes its West Virginia debut at the Charleston Coliseum LIVE on TNT!! We go live at 8pm EST/7pm CST and what a night of action in store for the fans. The finals of the World Tag Team Title Tournament, the official contract signing for the AEW World Title Match at “Full Gear” on 11/9, Six Man Tag action, and the legendary Rock 'n' Roll Express in the house!!! Oh yes, and do not forget Rick and Morty... Game 7 of the World Series is obviously going to do a number on the ratings, but Charleston has been starved of major league wrestling for long enough tha…

Live from Brittsburgh.... She's a Dentist!!!

Coming off a hot show last week, there's loads on tap that should make for a fun show: Rhio vs Britt Baker (she's a dentist) for the AEW Women's Championship Lucha Bros vs Jungle Boy & Luchasaurus in the tag title tournament SCU vs Best Friends in the tag title tournament Jon Moxley & PAC vs Kenny Omega & Hangman Page Chris Jericho vs Darby Allin in a street fight for the AEW World Heavyweight Championship I'm looking forward to at least three of those five matches but also hoping they throw in a few more cool videos and promos to further establish the characters. So far a good job has been done in elevating Private Party, …

Darby Allin vs Jimmy Havoc - Number One Contenders Match Jon Moxley vs Shawn Spears w/Tully Blanchard Dustin Rhodes and Hangman Adam Page vs Chris Jericho and Sammy Guevara Live from Boston. One issue the show may have is that it could be moved for some baseball game on TNT. There's currently a listing of AEW in it's usual TNT slot and also on TruTV, presumably in case it gets bumped. I'm not American and don't follow baseball so I don't know what the likelihood of an overrun game is or whether TruTV is a big downgrade but something to be aware of if you're watching on US TV tonight.

They're doing a countdown show tomorrow where it looks like the partners for Jericho Vs The Elite will be revealed. Cody vs Sammy Guevara and PAC Vs Hangman Page are also booked for Wednesday. I can't lie, this is the most excited I've been about wrestling in a long time. I'm really trying to manage my expectations but I hope this show is a home run.

Kenny Omega embarrassed himself thoroughly in a recent interview: It's one thing to criticize NXT - that's fair game - but going after fellow wrestlers is petty, shitty, and a bad look for both him and AEW. Part of me feels bad for Kenny though. Whatever "cool" he had in Japan has completely evaporated in AEW. He's a geek now, and it's not because of a worked won-loss record that's obviously setting up some kind of angle. I dunno what it is exactly, but something is definitely missing... Video:

Lots of questions in my mind, despite keeping a distance from every bit of news about the company. Will they be live or taped? Where will they shoot? How long?

Here is the card for tonight. Still on the fence on if I'm ordering the show. AEW World Championship: Chris Jericho vs. "Hangman" Page Kenny Omega vs. PAC Cody vs. Shawn Spears AAA Tag Team Championship (Ladder Match): Lucha Bros. (c) vs. The Young Bucks Joey Janela vs. Jimmy Havoc vs. Darby Allin Best Friends vs. The Dark Order (Winners earn first-round by in tag title tournament) Riho vs. Hikaru Shida Luchasaurus, Jungle Boy & Marko Stunt vs. SCU Private Party vs. Angelico & Jack Evans (The Buy-In pre-show) Women's Casino Battle Royale (The Buy-In pre-show; winner receives women's title shot)

Kenny Omega & The Young Bucks vs. The Lucha Brothers & Laredo Kid Jon Moxley vs. Joey Janela Cody vs. Darby Allin Hangman Page vs. MJF vs. Jimmy Havoc vs. Jungle Boy Christopher Daniels vs. CIMA Nyla Rose vs. Riho vs. Yuka Sakazaki Michael Nakazawa vs. Alex Jebailey in a hardcore match (The Buy In) SCU vs. Best Friends vs. Private Party (The Buy In) I am excited for this card. 1. It's free. 2. It will give me an idea of what a non PPV AEW show will look like. 3. It will give us a better idea if the non main event guys can hang. Anyone else tuning in tonight?

Here's the card for tonight's show. Am I missing any recently announced matches? I think it's pretty smart not to have the main eventers on every show but still have enough intriguing matches to keep people interested. No Moxley match and Jericho is cutting a live promo. We have been heavily criticizing the preshows and this one is hyping up a match that has 4 guys who have been flirting around the main event scene. Smart move. The six man is one of the matches I am looking forward to the most. I have no idea if I should be excited about the women's matches or not. I hear Dark Order can put on show stealing matches so it will be my first time seeing them wrestle. The to…

Ok, today's the day. Definitely a polarizing show around here and elsewhere. I'm getting together with friends to split the cost. No way would I drop $50 on this, but I'm sure there will be free streaming options if one is so inclined, doesn't mind less than top quality video, and knows where to look. I'm no big fan of these guys and all their various projects, but I enjoyed what I saw of All In and want to check this out because I'm curious what they plan on showcasing as the alternative to WWE. Should be fun

Anyone in Chicago? Anyone have thoughts? Use this as a catch-all thread now that the big weekend has arrived. I'm a local and everything sold out so quickly that I'm just sort of left in the cold (as cold as you can find this weekend in Chicago, anyway). But I hope people are meeting up and having fun. The frequent opportunities to do that with all the destination shows in wrestling now is something that I see as even more valuable than attending a great show.
