Cole a full blown babyface with that gear.

Well there's the pay off That felt like a match straight out of Reseda.

Fun flippy shit!! I pity the guys that are gonna wrestle for the next 60 minutes after this match. Don't see the crowd being able to keep this level of hype much longer.

I'm so fucking happy they are gonna replace Sterling with Stockley for Jade. So dope to see that kind of reaction for a future 6 woman tag team match.

Levels of respect at it's highest.

A lot of fun stuff in the match but as with most of these type of matches, could've been 5 minutes shorter.

Jeff calling spots like early 2010's Cena

Man, Jaff has looked ROUGH in this match.

Perfectly booked. Loved how MJF didn't have 1 single offensive move that worked besides the eye rack. Exactly what the crowd wanted and it got a nuclear reaction.

Over like rover.

Wow, they were really fucked if the MJF stuff didn't get sorted out then.

Oh come on, here's were you go "DANHAUSEN LET'S GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO" like in the WWE thread bubba

It seems MJF vs Wardlow is a go, thanfully. Now I wonder if a returning Kenny Omega getting into the main event (rematch clause? :lol:) as a surprise would've been enough of a surprise to make up for MJF not tshowing up.

yup, it's dumb of an idea for me to believe it's been a work this whole time. Then again, I also think it's incredibly dumb for MJF to do this thinking this is gonna help him. But at least in that case it would be 1 person being dumb, not 2 (or more).

That sounds like a really dumb strategy that can comeback to bite him in the ass at the worst possible time.

That flip Danielson and Sydal did instead of going for the Romero Special got a huge pop out of me, hadn't seen that one.

To be honest, I'll take 4 or 5 of those matches going short than all them getting at least 8-14 minutes. If the last card felt way too long and had the crowd very spent by the 2nd hour (3 if you count the pre show)-and with a better build up than this one-, I don't think Chicago can keep it up for 4-5 hours with the way most of the people in AEW work. At least they are gonna save themselves for the main event but man, I thought people would've learned from WM and NXT that this superlong, full of workrate shows are not the way to go...

They still changed their story to address it though

This gotta be the most professional and transparent behavior I've seen from a wrestling company in I don't know how long Takaaki Kidani, Takami Ohbari Press Conference regarding Kota Ibushi https://www.njpw1972.com/121950 Now, I hope this is all true and Kota doesn't take to Twitter and say it's all BS. But if things were amended, it's very nice to hear. Also, how fucking important is Ibushi, btw? A company bending itself backwards like this not to lose him is pretty damn unique. Would be shocked if that Kikuchi guy stayed in a position of power after this.

I don't know, feels like the biggest mistake Khan did was taking the TNT Title away from Miro, who was doing an awesome job establishing that belt. I'm not sure if him filmimg that TV pilot that got picked up was a reason for him losing the strap but man, AEW lost one of their best segments of weekly TV and never coming close to getting it back hurt.

The "shoot" elements were Miz asking Bryan if he was so tough why wouldn't he just quit WWE and go wrestle somewhere else (which was something Bryan had actually done already by that point, but WWE didn't let him go). Miz can cut good promos, the Talking Smack one might be his best one but he can talk for sure.

I think they missed an opportunity for an unique house show+TV tour for the Owen tournament. Make it round robin put your biggest names in it (and in the case of the women, invite whoever you can to make it feel more special) and book small-to-medium sized buildings for whatever weeks are needed. Tape the tourney matches that aren't on Dynamite/Rampage and put them on Youtube. Hype the shit out of the coming shows on TV. Make it a big fucking deal. I don't think it would be a money loser considering it would be the only tour of the year. Another throwaway tournament to fill TV time feels like a such a waste.

Aw man, this Ibushi stuff took a dark turn He's saying he's been fired too.

They already established Warldow's weakness is the same as Brock's: their balls. So if MJF starts with a cheap shot low blow, his control segment will make sense. That PPV was always going to live and die on the "dream matches" they are able to book though. The novelty of seeing first time matches/pairings (or if Omega was around, beloved rivalries) is what's gonna sell it. There's not a lot of hype they can do on TV besides "you know these New Japan folks are great, you also know our AEW folks are great, just imagine what you gonna get on PPV".
