Flyin' Brian

It was kind of sad in the beginning, but got better as it went on. No way they could have had Austin lose there. I just wonder why do this now other than Wrestlemania being in Texas? Austin could have been doing this periodically over the years, having this kind of match with Cena or Punk or even older stars like Michaels, Sting, Hogan, or Undertaker at Wrestlemania.

I never could find a straight answer if the PPV was included with the Honor Club subscription. Probably sign up this weekend and watch if they have a replay or on demand.

I like that idea.

The first part of the William Regal interview from 3/16 is a great listen. Regal went through so much health related stuff that it’s a miracle he’s still here. I’m looking forward to part 2 hopefully sometime soon next month.

I was thinking Claudio will be a Blackpool Combat Club guy if he comes in. Regal spoke really well of him on Talk is Jericho.

Homicide and Hernandez maybe if it’s someone from outside? If it’s someone on the roster possibly Sammy and I can’t really think of anyone else that makes sense.

Good call.

The roster was so good then but a lot of the usage of the roster was so bad.

The worst thing I can hold against him is not putting over Booker T at Wrestlemania 19. After that build and then to beat Booker T it was to me one of the worst main event programs I had ever seen. It wasn't all HHH I know, the buck stops with Vince McMahon, but to me that was jaw dropping.

I like Sammy, but this booking is not doing him any favors as a babyface. Maybe it's just him, but the 'I don't care about the title' attitude and the stuff with him and Tay just fits a heel more. Enjoying Mox and Dragon together with Regal, definitely would look forward to match vs Sting/Darby. AEW has enough tag teams that I wonder if it would be worth it to have a lower tier tag title like the U.S. Tag Team Championships NWA/WCW had? Or maybe some of them are moving over to ROH. I have no idea what is supposed to be going on with Julia Hart. Thought maybe she was going to join up with Black's group but that feud is over. She's still wearing the eye patch and looked bored while the match was going on. I really hope they don't have Windham Rotunda show up and make her his new Alexa. I enjoyed Lethal/Cole, but I've liked Lethal since his Impact days. FTR after firing Tully are definitely turning face now. Lots of good matchups for them. Hopefully they start getting featured more. Another team that maybe having another tag team title or moving to ROH would help as far as giving them a showcase.

The Wrestlers Court we really need.

Great looking show from top to bottom. If someone knows the history between the Adams or if you follow all the Elite stuff I’m sure the world title match is more interesting. But as someone with only an outside knowledge of all that it’s just a perfectly acceptable title defense for Adam Page that helps elevate him further. Adam Cole has accomplished a fair amount in wrestling so it doesn’t hurt Page one bit to wrestle him for the World Title and win.

I admit that I haven’t seen a lot of Adam Cole, but every time I see him the first thing that pops into my head is Dollar Store Shawn Michaels.

Caught part of Dynamite live, watched the rest afterwards. Tony Khan acquires ROH - Probably mostly for footage for a future streaming service, which makes me more excited for it. I'm cautiously optimistic we will get something cool out of this storyline wise. If nothing else, hopefully more good wrestling to watch which is something I'll never complain about. Bryan Danielson and Mox promo - Really looking forward to this match and Revolution in general. Casino Tag Team Battle Royal - Still think it's weird to have two tag team battle royals back to back, but at least they were entertaining. The depth of the tag team division is great, and nice to see it on display. Young Bucks winning was a bit predictable after ReDragon did last week, but they are furthering that storyline and that's ok. Was hoping for a surprise tag team, especially with the ROH news, but it was still good. Jericho/Kingston - Another match that I am looking forward to as long as Jericho makes Kingston look good and puts him over. CM Punk/MJF - saw the kick to the balls coming a mile away, but still a great segment in a great feud. I like MJF and always have in AEW, but sometimes I haven't liked the directions he's gone in. This has been money, and he's still growing by leaps and bounds as a performer which is something considering how good he already is. I'll second liking that wrestlers have some friends or at least that the other babyfaces will act like babyfaces and come out to help when someone is getting killed by a bunch of people. Rosa/Martinez vs Baker/Hayter - Little disappointed to see Rosa win on TV because she's probably losing on PPV then, but AEW might surprise me. Still looking forward to the match. Wardlow squash - glad to see something different from Wardlow, for whatever reason he decided tonight that he wasn't going to let Spears use his chair to beat on a fallen opponent. I don't see them pulling the trigger on anything until MJF is done with Punk, and maybe not until MJF wins the World Championship. MJF is probably the one to dethrone Page when the time comes. Main event was ok, hoping for a good match Sunday. Revolution is stacked. I don't see any filler or a bad match on the card. Part of having so long to build to the PPV's, part of having a stacked roster. Wish I had some people to watch with, but I'll be watching either way.

If PPV's are included I'd be excited for an HBO Max deal. If they have footage from somewhere else included I'd be interested too. If it's just AEW streaming on HBO Max it's good for them but nothing other than that for me.

I think two tag team battle royals back to back is a little much, even if the rules are slightly different for each. Since it’s a Casino Battle Royal I wonder if we will get any surprises? Interested to see what the big announcement might be but not thinking it’s going to be that big a deal. Maybe I’m wrong. Hopefully I’m wrong.

Agree 100% on Eddie. He needs a win and I think Jericho will do it. Wouldn’t mind Cesaro showing up but not to cost Eddie the match.

He says he did it to ‘teach her a lesson’. So everyone that comes into a locker room Austin Aries is in has to kiss his balls? Or just people he feels don’t belong in that locker room? Or just women? Sigh. Dude is trash.

I think it fits Eddie’s character. There were grievances over prior relationships during the Punk match too. It doesn’t have to be ‘you didn’t put me over on the way to WWE’ it can be something else playing on their history. Maybe it bothered him in real life, maybe it didn’t, but I think there’s a good story and a match (or matches) in it.

Makes for a good story though. Especially if they put Eddie over him now.

Haven’t seen much discussion on this and I know it’s speculation, but I have a hard time believing it will be a real match if he does show up. Quick hits run through of moves (Theiz press, mud hole stomp, stunner, beer bash) and it’s over in less than five minutes most probably. Carny way to sell tickets in Texas most likely. People getting to hear the glass break and the music and be there for the pop probably won’t feel ripped off. But I honestly can’t see it being more than that, and have a hard time believing that will even happen. What does everyone else think?

Yeah, as a faction I wouldn’t mind seeing them show up somewhere. But as an entire company based on this I’m not too interested other than curiosity.

I’m looking forward to tonight even though the lineup released so far isn’t spectacular. I think Santana and Ortiz or FTR are the most likely candidates to win the Battle Royal tonight. Maybe Young Bucks or reDragon if they are planning on the other winning the second match next week..

How many times has that been the main event of the biggest show of the year? How many times can they build to Roman vs Brock.

This company. Brock gets put in the match at Day 1, he wins. He enters the Royal Rumble, he wins. He enters the Elimination Chamber, he wins. They probably put him over Roman at Wrestlemania.
